	[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Fullofkittens"] #5: I like the obscure forum titles. It's not hard, at all, to figure out what they mean. When I came here in February, after I found out this was the post-OMM haven, I knew exactly what meant what in less than 2 minutes. FoK[/quote] Thus assuring that this site forever remains by ex-OMMers, for ex-OMMers. Forget hauling in fresh blood.[/quote] Maybe this is a weird and foolish thing to think, but my suspicion is that fresh blood will come in for <i>content</i>, and not because they heard that this forum is relaxing, inviting, and intuitive. If I was a brand-newbie, I wouldn't be put off by the forum titles. I'd be put off, well... by us. We're not exactly nice people, you know? Changing the forum titles won't stop us from posting in them, and we're assholes.[/quote] Rather than listing reasons why the forum titles should stay the same, I think the better question is are they really THAT hillarious that keeping them up is even an issue? Does anything still giggle at their cleverness every time the forum index loads? It's an inside joke carried over from OMM that stopped being amusing even back then.[/quote] No. It isn't a big difference either way. But I don't think more descriptive titles would be an improvement. Reason: The utility of the obscure forum titles is in, as More Meds mentioned, that forum topics can evolve over time. Also, note that "GAMES DISCUSSION HERE" has less personality than "Gamerasutra." What we have now isn't rib-crackingly funny, but it isn't as gay as purely descriptive titles would be. <u>To illustrate:</u>.
