Hydreigon Changing Clubs forum name

This is something I'd do on my own 8ut I was thinking of changing the forum name Clu8s to Social. This way it can 8e used for what it is now, but also any co-op stuff, like streaming or whatever.

Yay/Nay?

I think that's a good idea. Although I'm not sure anyone even goes to Clubs. It's not like this forum is big enough to warrant that - clubs are used on bigger forums like SPPf because it's impossible to meet everyone and find out what their interests are, but if you've been on UPN for a decent period of time, chances are you either know most people or have heard of most people. I don't recall clubs every really being used that much at all in the entire time I've been here.

It's really just used for UPN Game stuff now, and I would presume that the main use of the forum would turn entirely towards UPN Game stuff and streaming threads if you changed it to social.

"What's in a name?" But sure, if you want to change Clubs to Social, then go for it. Though while you're at it, you could change the name of Anime to-- *shot*

Another thing you could name it, if you're worried "Social" isn't the right fit (since that would also seem to describe us hanging out in MiscDisc), would be to call it "Projects" or something along those lines. Clubs are kinda-sorta like projects, and everything else that's been mentioned -- streams, Regamening -- are most definitely project-related. But I think "Social"'s fine. We all know what the forum's intended purpose is and newbies will pick it up fairly quickly. Also: that's what forum subtext descriptions on the main index page are there for.

I wasn't meaning to imply that you are the only person streaming. I was saying that if you changed the name of the forum to "Social" you would only find UPN Game thread (presumably in a subforum) and streaming threads - and by streaming threads I mean Daisy, copygoo, YUKI, phooopes, and anyone else who streams regularly.

So the forum would look like this:
UPN GAME SUBFORUM

Daisy~ Streaming~! Art and music~!
copygoo Homestuck streaming whooo
YUKI.N Zelda Fun
phooopes Majora's Mask yay
Hanatori Jumpluff TUGs tungsten narration madness

And then below that:
LOL Clubs that haven't been posted in for weeks/months/years

Haha, this made me laugh too hard~ IM TOO PREDICTABLEEEE

I see what Emgee's saying though! I don't mind if it's change to Social or not, I just want a place where any current streamings can be readily seen by everyone instead of filling ASB TO where only a handful of peeps can them...

"Projects" is pretty good. "Social" would be useful too. And even "Clubs" signifies its general usage to people who are used to clubs on other forums.

So how about... Clubs and Social Projects?

I think it'd be more fitting, yes, but, as has been said, what's in a name? No matter which way we slice it up, people will adjust to it.

"Mozz's Van" is probably our safest bet. Mozz is happy and we're happy...I think.

The words "Mozz" and "safe" are usually not in the same sentence unless it also has "anal bum cover" in it.

Users will adjust, but newcomers might not be interested enough to investigate on their own.

I'd a traditionalist so my gut reaction was to down-vote a name change, but then my brain kicked in and I've concluded I don't mind it as much. But I don't think Social is really a net improvement over Clubs.

I think the description should follow what Morg says - "Clubs and social projects, but please don't hit a Seel :/" but the forum name should actually be a name, like PASBL/Fizzy Bubbles.

I'm not so sure about "Mozz's Van", but I'd back "Mozz's Jewfro".

I just agree it needs a name change. It would be better suited for things like, say, a Let's Play I'll eventually host as opposed to the Games forum, not to mention there are plenty of other things 'Social Project's' could relate to as opposed to just art and streaming. (Ex., Music projects could go here instead of Fanart)

Just so long as it isn't named in any way which makes light of or promotes pedophilia and/or rape, I'm good. Just wanted to throw that out there since an alarming number of people seem to be clamoring for a name which celebrates both.

I would think that they're more aiming for the humor of an inside joke than something offensive... but there is a line. Gotta agree with you here.

No pedophilia and rape! Then why would anyone want to join the clubs and social project?!?

What kind of person would join non-pedophilia and non-rape clubs?

Talon's inability to realize a joke makes everything more entertaining.

Talon, do you associate the jewfro with pedophilia and/or rape?

Jeri's inability to realize that I realize it's a joke, I just don't think the joke is appropriate and has really run its course since long, long ago is ... well, pretty pathetic.

Get the fuck over yourself, Jeri. And give me at least a modicum of respect, will you? I'd have to be a fucking idiot and be blind as a bat to not realize this is a long-running gag on UPN.

Rest assured, Talon, I don't think Kuno would ever implement it.

Mozz himself isn't even the proprietor of "Mozz's Van".

Now that I think about it, Bulbagarden had a short-lived forum in January 2001 called "Chaka's h0 train". One can imagine why it expired oh so quickly. =3=

I wonder what ever happened to Chaka ... not really a username that is easy to search for on Google. Though if you search for "chaka upnetwork" (no quotes) and then tell Google, "No, I did not mean 'chaka up network', I meant 'chaka upnetwork'," the hits it returns at the top of the first page are all ours. So if Chaka ever did decide to look for her old UPN alias, she would probably find us and be able to get back in touch with some of the older members if she wanted to. Though ... I don't think any of us here were in her inner circle of friends, so ... (Kojiro, SiN, Dratsta, The Godfather ... all long gone. )

Your Wiki page, Doppel, is the fourth root hit for "chaka upnetwork", apparently.

... what the hell is this!? Apparently some little private EZBoard from 2000, back when UPN was still going strong. You can even see h-jack's post here, sig and all. It's too bad I don't recognize anyone else in that list of members aside from Meggie ("Princess Meggie").

I have a lot more respect for you than you think but you continuously lose it with your weird paranoia and tendency to wildly overreact to everything.

Chill the fuck out and stop taking everything so seriously. It's the fucking Internet. If you're taking yourself seriously, you're in the wrong place.

On Topic: Clubs and Social Projects gets my vote!
