Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
The new title is very dumb and almost seems like a joke forum even more so than the Tower of Babble. Foundry Discussion was appropriate, and until some other forum exists that makes that name confusing, it should stay that way.

Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
I'd rather this work the other way around maybe. Finish Germany and we'll get Foundry Discussion back....

Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
The idea behind the name change was that we want it to be more than discussion - we want this to be a place to host competitions, post mapmaker call-outs, celebrate the newsletter, share tips & tricks, etc. Basically this subforum is for everything that is Not Maps.
I'm not wedded to the name, but I do think something more light and friendly was needed. I think we're open to other suggestions.

Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
The (mostly) was added to the name, as we plan to use this subforum to run future mapmaking competitions, so occasionally there will be maps in here

Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
Why not "Foundry Discussion (Mostly)" ? or "Mostly Foundry Discussion" ?
Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
Being that the main forum is called "Map Foundry" maybe we could stick with that sort of theme by calling this "Map Guild" or something...a place where you learn the trade?

Re: Change name back to Foundry Discussion?
But besides the very good threads stickied, it's not. The announcements in the Main are the real spots, and other than that just practicing.Kaplowitz wrote:Being that the main forum is called "Map Foundry" maybe we could stick with that sort of theme by calling this "Map Guild" or something...a place where you learn the trade?
I like sam's suggestions.

A little change is good every now and then, people. I would support a name change that kept the Foundry metaphor alive. The Break Room? Smoking Area?

lol good idea, but kinda taken already by the Cartographers Guild: http://www.cartographersguild.com/
so far I think the best suggestion has been Foundry Discussion (mostly)
