    Talking Re: Name the forum

    OMG!!!
    i just thought of a good one, "The Confesion Box" that is where warriors home from the battle would re-tell there stories and so be forgiven. it gives a reason to tell the story and it would be in a monestary!!!

    I really think "The Time Machine" or "The TARDIS" would be the best for several reasons.

    1. You will be talking about what if...s. So it is like travelling through time, er, in your mind.

    2. It will avoid all the culture/religious disputes.

    3. It sounds cool.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Come on, we are looking for a name that stimulates people's minds, not a name that makes them speak incoherently.

    I like Chapter House... as it is a sub-forum of The Monastery

    The Chapter House used to be the venue for disciplinary congregations, business transactions with outsiders and the like, which does not really fit the bill of the alternative history threads.

    I was thinking of another possibility: Claustrum, the Latin term for the cloister or half-open colonnade running along the inside of the monastic quadrangle. Open to the fresh air as well as to the vagaries of the mind, the cloister would be the ideal spot for monks to repair between duties and discuss casual topics, exchange gossip or address pressing matters of conscience and theological speculation in a less formal atmosphere.
