I've done a bit of shuffling of the various sub-forums as well as renaming a few.

Most of them were renamed off the top of my head so if you have anything better feel free to shout.

Opinions?

Like the new look of the names. Its different and i like it.

Maybe some of the Tech Den items could be made less obscure - for example "Chill Out"

Also i don't get "Monkey Barrel" perhaps something different. I'm not too creative so i can't think of names

Could the Current Affairs Polls be put back to normal

They aren't really an News Archive, they are opinion Polls

Chill Out is fairly obvious I think. Read the forum descriptions if you're confused MMM

Monkey Barrel -> More fun than a barrel of monkeys

Ignore Mr. Magic.

We are at school and he is half asleep at the moment

Hopefully he'll wake up sometime soon

How'd you like the new name now Nukes?

rename off topic to peanut gallery

Shouldn't that be the staff forum?

Hmm.... I can't say that I am too thrilled with the name changes - well some changes. Perhaps because I am still recovering from the DSTV channel shuffle.

Although the old names work they were copied by 'another forum' and it now looks like we're a cheap imitation.

As I said, suggestions are welcome for name changes but I seriously think we need to change some directions here.

Ja, granted, that is a good point. When I get some time, I shall ponder some names as well.

Perhaps the Fight club could be made back to normal. Can't sya i like the new name. But otherwise its looking good guys

I like the colleseum

Suggestions for the former Fight Club:
The Sparring Ground
The Pit

Suggestion for the former Movie Mania:
The Celluloid Closet

I dig Celluloid Closet. I reckon it's your choice Lobo since you virtually run it

Personally I dig Colosseum: it's the most famous fighting ground in history. It's also funny cos idiots can be 'fed to the lions'

LOL... good point at the end there.

Yeah, please amend the name to "Celluloid Closet" for Filmreel.

I'm with the puppet on that

Sorted Lobo.

Thanks, Rusty!

I am personally AGAINST celluloid closet for the reason that

A ) not many people know what celluloid means

B ) alot of people wont go no where near the forum because it sounds like cellulite

suggestions :

cafe cinema
Silver Screen Salon
PlayHouse
The Video Vault
The Film Lot
The Film Cannister

PlayHouse is quite cool. What about 'Grindhouse,' described as 'A double feature of big and small screen entertainment'?

Hmmm or how about 'Barry Ronge's Love Den?'

I think the bonus of a lot of the different forum names is that people will click there just to find out what's inside; makes things more intriguing.

I am easy but honestly dislike the word "celluloid"

ye sounds like cellulite

I dig the Silver Screen Salon

I haven't been here for a week and coming back and seeing the new V9 makes me feel weird

I actually feel lost and can't seem to get on top of it

I know that feeling JuCa

With the "Polls are in" thing it still says news archive as the sub heading thing. Could that be changed to say "Current Affairs Opinion Poll" or something similar

Changed.

Well done to the name changes. It is clearly indicated that V9 is moving on after the great divide (there is a topic about this somewhere).

I was wondering how long it'd take you

Does this mean the great Mithras of old is returning?

I certainly hope so.

On another note

I have introduced a few poker forums and sub forums

Change is good.

wb Mithras

Wow, never thought you people actually missed me.

and why not ?

you always had wise words

Yarp, you and teh Ninja Mo were like the wise council

Miss you both

Yeah, the Mo and the Mith were always gooing in some good posts... Wonder what happened to the Mo...

Yeah what happened to Mo? Last time I saw him was at a LAN ages ago.

So do we have any more input on the movie forum?

as I said, I am against the celluloid

But celluloid/cellulite reminds me of Barry Ronge

How about something simple like 'Screen Play' or 'At The Drive In?' Playhouse is also cool.

The thing is, the change needs to also reflect the fact that the forum houses threads about movies AND TV shows...

Grindhouse?

Square Eyed Squadron?

Squared Eyed Syndrome

I personally like that one (soz Gitano - i ripped off your name)

hmmm.... perhaps the word screen should be in the title... I can't personally think of anything though.

Screen Play?

I was thinking that too. Maybe something very similar to that? Screen Play Madness?

I think you missed it cyfer

Screenplay -> Screen Play

Geddit?

oh. jammer. I keep quiet now.

Square screen squatters?

Motion Picture Massacre?

Personally i don't like the new compressed forum layout. It feels really cramped as we have one forum with 5 or 6 sub forums in it. I don't understand why akll of a sudden their is a need to cram everything together
