If we were to rename the backyard

[ubuntu-geek]

Lets get about 10 different names and then i'll create a poll.. Once we get the names i'll close this thread down and we'll move to the polls...

Couple of my thoughts:

The Backyard
Off Topic Chat

Maybe the playground? ;-)

playground works. :)

I always liked "the pub" but that may convey the wrong idea. I dunno, the backyard worked pretty well. "Ubuntu after dark" lol

I've been pretty impressed with it lately though. I was afraid it wouldn't work out but the testing of the waters is over now and the discussion is nowhere near as flame-esque as it was.

I'd have to agree on that..

I liked the backyard. In my backyard, kids play on tricycles and adults drink beer and talk about sex and politics. I thought it fit and did not suggest anything prejudicial. Perhaps it is called a garden in europe? Maybe a backyard could mean something like an abandoned lot in some cultures? I dunno.

As for the threads sent there, are there going to be some criteria definied? Like something to fall back on if a user wonders why their thread was sent there?

I like the watercooler actually.
