Forum Name...

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Belinda has put a list together here...

Whilst we wait, let's work out a name for the place. After we get a few suggestions, I can post a poll.

I've seen:
The Meeting Place
The Ecumenical Forum
Waffle House

Other ideas?

I added "Fellowship Hall" to the list.

Any other ideas?

[Willtor]

Some people didn't like Waffle House because they wanted to avoid the connotations, but some people liked it because it demonstrated an ability to laugh at themselves. So what about "The House of Pancakes" so that anybody who wants waffles can have waffles, but other people can select different items? :)

[Freedom&Light]

As opposed to Waffle House, I would propose IHOP, as there are very different connotations to it. :P

Seriously, though, maybe something like Ten Rulers (yes! An extremely random one!)

Ecclesiastes 7:17-19 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
[NIV at IBS] [International Bible Society] [NIV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]

17 Do not be overwicked,
and do not be a fool—
why die before your time?

18 It is good to grasp the one
and not let go of the other.
The man who fears God will avoid all extremes .

19 Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful
than ten rulers in a city.

ETA: Great minds think alike! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Willtor]

Haha! w00t!

[chaoschristian]

OK, I like House of Pancakes!

[higgs2]

I like "House of Pancakes" too!!! :thumbsup:


Unless you want to do "International House of Flip-Floppers" (IHOFF) :D <ducks>

[Freedom&Light]

I-HOFF, and I-POFF, and I-BLO-UR-HOUS-DWN

[£amb]

IHOP....International House of People...;)

[Freedom&Light]

^^ Hands-down winner. I love it. :hug:

[£amb]

Although I do like the waffle theme...I think of people getting up in the morn and fellowshipping while downing their waffles and sippin' coffee. It has an intimate feel to it....like family...:)

[Tenebrae]

IHOP....International House of People...;)
Thats cool

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

We'll put all these names to a poll pretty soon. Great ideas everyone! :clap:

[Willtor]

And rightly so. It's your civic duty.

[Freedom&Light]

Amen

Amen

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

The polls are ok

I couldn't agree more!

Burn the wiki! http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1003/flamexh0.gif

But special thanks to ChaosChristian for opening it when we thought we would need it. :)

Seriously, I would like to see something in the rules about once the rules/guidelines etc are set, then we need X amount of people expressing concern about the way X is done, thats while we are stuck with the wiki

Otherwise I can see all sorts of skull dugery and people changing rules if they dont like them

I dont care if there are only a couple of rules, however would like to see them protected, and things put into place so that the rules can not be changed at the drop of a hat because someone has packed a snit

Hope this makes sense. did a sleep over at work last night and as a result only got about 5 hours sleep

[chaoschristian]

No love for wiki.

Wiki, no wiki, I don't care, so long as everyone has a chance to have input into the rules.

I can ask staff to close down that wiki if y'all like, but one thing I'm not certain about is this: in order for FSRs to be 'official' do they have to be snapshotted from a wiki?

Could be that no one cares how we get to the rules. Or there could be some protocol mandating wiki.

I don't know.

Hmmm...good question. :scratch:

I think your right...they need to be put into a wiki.

I suppose we could always get our rules in order first. Then cut and paste them into your wiki...and have them snapshotted.

[chaoschristian]

Sounds like the way to go.

[Freedom&Light]

Since that's the system currently set up, let's definitely use it to however works best for this forum.

Now, if something mysteriously happens to the wiki as the new owner expands his influence...well, no love lost. :P ^_^

How about

Middlesville. Aww, it sounds like a small town with picket fences and ice-cream trucks and a 50's diner.

I like that this crowd is so chill we're like "rules? eh? list? should we? i dunno..what do you think?" Very low-key:thumbsup: I love it.

And I love the name suggestions, too. IHOP. Too funny^_^

[CelticGrace]

IHOP....International House of People...;)
excellent!

[Joykins]

I don't think I could see the forum named IHOP without thinking of the Jim Gaffigan routine:

"Ever go to IHOP? I don't know why they call it IHOP. When I leave there I don't ever feel like hopping. They should call it, "I barely move." "I need a wheelchair."

[chaoschristian]

em, that would be where I live now . . . just add in a dozen or two snack food companies and you've got the picture complete.

[GreenMunchkin]

em, that would be where I live now . . . just add in a dozen or two snack food companies and you've got the picture complete.Which snacks?

[Joykins]

As far as I can tell, chaos, you live in a town populated by my husband's relatives ^_^

[chaoschristian]

Which snacks?

Pretzels mostly. But there's Utz and Snyders which both make an immense range of crunchy, snacky things to eat.

[chaoschristian]

Well, now you know where to have the family reunion.

[Joykins]

Well, now you know where to have the family reunion.

We did :swoon:

It was a little out in the country by a creek and a sawmill. Everyone looked so much like my late father-in-law it was downright creepy.

[Letalis]

Send me a PM when you decide. :)

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Hey Belinda...do we have enough suggestions to make a poll? I think we're ready. :)

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

The Meeting Place
The Ecumenical Forum
Waffle House
Fellowship Hall
IHOP

Are there any others? :scratch:

[Rochir]

I really like "Ecumenical Forum"

[MrJim]

:eek: Holy Cats, you must live in my backyard~sounds like York/Hanover PA area:thumbsup:

[MrJim]

I know the word "emergent" is trendy, but it would seem this collection of "moderates" is far more than just a gathering of misfits, but rather folks seeing the Way in another light...so maybe the name should reflect such, rather than just a misfit pidgeonhole;)

[Freedom&Light]

Hmm...Misfit Pidgeonhole...that's a good name for a band. [/Dave Barry]

Wasn't enamoured at first, but I'm really starting to like the Waffle House. Shows we can poke fun at ourselves. :) Leaning toward voting for that one when the poll is in place.

PM me and we can set up a meeting if you'd like.

What about Square Pegs? Because we don't fit into those round holes...you could feel nostalgic for a certian 1980s era sitcom also if you wanted to :holy:

I like IHOP, but I keep thinking "In Hopes of Peace" :P

Cuz let's face it, you don't have much peace on the other few forums. Lots of people giving their mind's piece, or thinking one piece at a time, but no peace.

Other ones I like:

Square Pegs

Community Chalice

Hind's Feet in High Places (yes, I'm plagiarizing a book's title, but it works)

Tent Revival

The Fisherman's Net

the House of Many Mansions (Now THAT'S diverse)

The Mansion of Many Rooms (another take on above)

The Potter's Wheel

The Open-Air Tabernacle

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Ok...wow. Lotsa great ideas. I like IHOP now too..."In Hopes of Peace". That's perfect actually. :thumbsup:

Should we put it to a poll yet? Or wait awhile more.
