What about the Mosque, why all the christian references? It might offend some muslims.

I guess making "the Mosque" a sub-forum of "the Monastery" wouldn't really help though...Originally Posted by Sjakihata
Re: Name the forum
Hey you completely ignore my Chapter House.
It is a monastery but one that involves a lot of political dealings, warlike tendencies and deep thoughts. And who can deny the name itself, CHAPTER doesn't fit?
Eh? Tosa? Then I say Forum 3:16

I like Chapter House, reminiscent of 40k, and has a wonderfully terrible pun in it.

It would be...erm...inaccurate. You would pray at a mosque, as well as study but not tell tales or discuss alternative history. Of course I mean the mosques in the high ages of Muslims; they're deathly places nowadays.
But "Medrese" (or "Madrasah"(The original is مدرسة, let the Arabic experts pull out the best transliteration if necessary.
)
At any rate I would prefer a classical word (with Greek/Latin/Arabic/Hebrew origin) over a modern one.

Re: Name the forum
Could work very well...
I am biased towards Chapter House of course, Senate and this last one Akademia.
I think we should at least attempt to keep the name within an extended sphere of the Monastary. I agree that Senate might not fit very well but it is certainly true that it fits the situations we have when engaged in the stories.

Re: Name the forum
Wouldn't the logical name for a sub-section of the Monastery be Cloister?
Re: Name the forum
How about the Command Post?If its mainly about Interactive histories.Its about commanding and posting and HQ can also be called Command post.Me thinks that The Religion related buildings are too peacefull for that.

Chapter House!
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...
