Forum Titles?
« on: May 12, 2008, 10:48:08 AM »
LONG ago, back before I ever found CC, I created some forums that were sort of a getaway for LOTR TCG dream card addicts enthusiasts like me, bringing along some of the old Decipher board DCers for the ride. I did something a little unusual there that they seemed to like: I named each forum and sub-forum after a major location in Middle-earth. Things like Tom Bombadil's House and Rivendell and Fangorn Forest and the like. Each forum then had a description that went into detail about what that forum was actually FOR.

Do you all like that idea rather than the (in my opinion) rather drab forum titles like "Dream Cards" and "LOTR Discussion"? If so, then with Kralik's permission, I'll come up with some titles for the forums we already have and change 'em over.

And if I DO go forward with it, any good suggestions for MtG forum titles would be appreciated, since LOTR titles wouldn't make much sense for them. :roll:

I'm game. Might want to wait until CC is imported, though, but feel free to brainstorm.

General and Off-Topic or Memberslounge should be named Green Dragon Inn of The Prancing Pony...that's for sure!

Yeah, those are ones I've used (or at least contemplated) in the past.

Just another name for Lake-town. If you've read The Hobbit, that should ring a bell.

I've created names and descriptions for most of the forums now...what do you all think?

I still need some good ideas for the MtG forums....

Ah, I haven't read the books in a while. :-[

Names look good, though bag end seems a bit weird for open discussion.

I like it too, but instead of giving HUGE descriptions under each title, use a subtitle w/ a small description.

Example:
Lothlorien - Deck Clinic
Small Description Here...

It's just a bit much to read.

I tend to agree...

And in other news...
50% done importing the phpBB database!
Adding old CC posts will probably mess things up, so it might be better to wait...
