    Lightbulb Name this forum

    The name of this forum is at the moment a little bland, so post your suggestions here for giving it a proper name. We will have a poll later on to select the best one.

    TWCenter already has a modding forum called the Workshop, so I think it's best to use another name to avoid confusion.

    I think it should be officina de propositum (design workshop).

    Please think of me, everytime I need to direct a patron to this forum or when I'm talking with other moderators about it then I need to write (and remember!) Officina de propositum. I already had a hard time with Repository.
    Perhaps it's better if we make it sound a bit more catchy. A word like colosseum is already known to most people and is thus easier to recognize. When a normal patron comes along and he sees Officina de propositum...

    don't have to get cranky, I was just trying to get something latin. What the h*ll would you put down? Recarictudniracanciamumarium?

    OK, I'll try again.... how about.... still thinking.... hmm.... wait.... hold on.... I'm getting something.... how about.... woops.... I already.... said that.... ok.... it shall be.... The Gallery (I know that doesn't sound very latinesque, but we would be VERY VERY hard put to get one that did, seeing as colosseum is the only latin word people seem to understand these days, or at least according to you). I have a forum like that on the CTW mod forum, and if you can't accept it, I'm just gonna give up.

    Just trying to help...

    Wink Re: Name this forum

    What do you think about:

    Archimedes Lab ?

    It's at least something related to Rome without focussing on it too much and sounds quite familiar, isn't it ?

    Silver Rusher, I don't think DJ was being angry. He was just saying it wasn't very practical name.

    As the workshop has already been used you could use the latin version which is called the 'officina'

    How about the Ferrarius. Doesn't that mean blacksmith? and its not too long, and easy to pronounce.

    I think Foundry would be good, or Marketplace (well, I suppose it is the mod development not mod finishing forum)
