Seems to me the consensus is try it out. Put it where you like, Kuno, and might help.

Can we think of a name though that is more chic than "Time Out"? >_>; Time Out is where you send bad children for misbehaving. "The Lounge" would work, or any name that might suit a café that you like: those would work. I dunno what people would like. ("The Squirrel's Nest", "The Black Walnut", "Sacred Grounds", "Kuno's", whatever. ) And of course, I'm sure there'll be huge vocal nostalgic support for keeping it "Time Out". But I dunno, never cared for the name, for the reason I just said. It implies you're taking a break from something: that might work for the games, but it sure as hell doesn't work for the main forum. Especially not if it is a hub of flurried conversations.

I'm going to go on the record saying I don't like this idea in general but I don't really have anything to say against it that hasn't already been said nor does it really effect me much since it doesn't seem like it will result in closing of either TO.

Wow, this already feels like a Time Out thread. Thanks for the new TO, Kush and Talon.
"Time Out" is kind of a tradition, I would think. The name already has so much meaning, I doubt we should just ditch the name for something meaningless. |

Beating a gay man to death for coming out of the closet and owning a black man because of the color of his skin were also traditions. Not all traditions are good, and not all traditions must or should be kept. Not saying the thread title "Time Out" is on par with slave holding or homophobic homicide: just using these examples to illustrate how it's a piss-poor argument to say that just because something has always been some way that that is how it should always continue to be. Not all change is for the better, but not all status quos are ideal.

Again with the distractions from the philosophical point at hand. "We can't argue against his rhetoric ... SO LET'S ATTACK HIM FOR HIS COLORFUL ILLUSTRATIONS INSTEAD! HOW DARE HE USE SUCH EASY-TO-FOLLOW EXAMPLES!"

Your easy-to-follow examples also tend to be extreme and exaggerated. Even if you don't intend for it to sound like that, your choice of comparisons makes it sound like calling it "Time Out" is a sin.
Honestly, this is a matter of taste and it's really not going to chance much to call it one thing or another. |

Let's just let Kuno decide since it is his Forum and this new TO will represent UPN. He can change/move/make a new thread if he wants.

I specifically said that I am not putting such an innocuous name on the same level as slave holding or murder. I specifically said as much.
And if it's just a matter of taste and isn't going to change anything, then there shouldn't be any opposition to letting deoxys or someone else with 0% investment in either the ASB or FB be the one to choose the thread's name, should there? So how about leaving it to deo to decide on a cool name. I like Kuno's though. It sounds like a hole in the wall cafe. It works. Kuno: I like Kuno's. That's it: making it Kuno's. *makes ALL of the TOs into Kuno's'es*

It doesn't change the fact that your rhetoric is poor.
I think this whole debate is ridiculous and unneeded and is simply the result of an overinflated controversy about something else entirely. But whatever, do what you want. |
