funny suggestion for the forum

I guess now that we have mods moving posts around this isn't a issue as much anymore, but i thought it would be amusing to have no titles for the foums, or have titles that don't give away the topic of the forum so that all the newbies have to read the decriptions of the forums to figure out where to put their posts. Or maybe have the forums have names of a character that hints at what the topic is based on the type of character. Just a random thought i had the other day. Can't think of any good names for all of them, but maybe Ed for video harware help or something. You get the idea......

Have you ever been to those cutesy "artsy" homepages where instead of link titles like "guestbook" and "email", they say things like "iridescent dreams" and "effervescent purple reality"? Man, they annoy me. (which is one reason I can't give any example links)

Yes, it's an amusing suggestion. Yes, maybe it would get newbies to read forum descriptions. But it'd probably annoy longtime users.

*sobs* Why won't people give me Ethereal Incantations? Don't they want to be on the Most Enchanted list?

"Effervescent purple reality"? Man that's great

! *Heavy sarcasm* I wish all links were written cryptically or archaically. But that's not even cryptic... it's just crazy.
