"Small Talk"

[Rei]

Is anyone else disliking that name?

Because INTJ's don't tend to "small talk"
We may be random, but in my opinion small talk involves saying things that need not be said for the sake of conversation.

[Tarrick]

Petition to rename "Small Talk" "Random Zone"! Or some similar moniker.

[Guido]

I was actually thinking we should rename it to 'Not small talk'. Cause well... it isn't :D

:thinking:
How about "Big Talk" then?

[Firelie]

"Talko Gigante!"

[Tarrick]

Behemoth Communications?

[Firelie]

Behemoth Communications?

Oh how I roffled. I second that one.

[Jezebel]

Wait... what's this? You guys don't get to make decisions! This isn't a democracy!



...yeah, I named it out of jest knowing how much INTJs hate small talk. I figured someone would mention it eventually. I'll change it when you guys decide something you like.*



*with some stipulations... see next post.

I just realized this thread is a perfect opportunity for bribery a mutually beneficial exchange of favors. I also need to rename the default member user titles (http://intjforum.com/YaBB.pl?num=1190532555). So, while you're at it, figure out something better than "Forum Member" for that, then I'll also rename the "Small Talk" forum to whatever you guys want.

I mean... please ;)

[Guido]

That be a lie.

I think you realized naming a forum 'small talk' would come in handy at some point before this :P

We could always just leave it, as it does have some irony to it. And although part of me really wants to stand by this, as I hate being bribed, I still do think we should change it. Of course I have no idea what else use than forum member. Maybe someone more creative will step in :x

But you wouldn't hold planning ahead for the good of the forum against me would you? ;)

Hmm, you're right, INTJs do hate being bribed don't they? Okay, it's no longer bribery (http://intjforum.com/YaBB.pl?num=1190695309/0#8). :P

[Guido]

No, but I'll still point it out and make fun of you for trying :D

Every time I see the title I think,
I'm not going in THERE! ::)

How about "Miscellaneous"? :D

[Rei]

sermo -onis (latin)
talk , conversation; discussion; common talk, report, rumor; a subject of conversation; a conversational style, or prose; any manner of speaking, style, expression, diction, language, dialect

[Guido]

Reminds me of church :x

(Sermon)

[Tarrick]

It's all Latin to me.

[Jezebel]

Suggested so far:

Random Zone
Not small talk
Big Talk
Talko Gigante!
Behemoth Communications
Miscellaneous
sermo / sermonis

Ok, are there any other suggestions or do you guys want one of those?

[Opti]

You could just name it 'Off Topic' or 'None INTJ Talk' ...

and maybe we could keep it free from ....'well the INTJ in me thinks this' or 'I am supposed to think that way' which is making me feel that a lot of FM's are trying to 'fit' into the INTJ personality. :-X :-X :-X, not that, that is a bad thing I must add. I could be accused of it as well. But I am just here trying to find out who/what I am :) And I am open to anyone whom might want to try and 'sum' me up.

Before you think it , yes I know I am way too judgemental.

[The Rose]

Random Zone
Miscellaneous

I like these.

[rwyatt365]

MicroComm (for the geeks)

[Rei]

How about "Party Zone"
Even more ironic than the "Small Talk"

[Jezebel]

How about "Party Zone"

Heh. Well, *I* like it!

[Tarrick]

How about "Party Zone"

Heh. Well, *I* like it!


"Captain, we are detecting dangerous levels of irony! I recommend we raise shields!"

[Jezebel]

And the ironic forum description? How about something along the lines of:

"Hey everyone! *Waves* Come on in and grab a beer, it's time to have some fun and get wasted! This is the place for gossip, flirting and conversing with people you don't particularly care about but feel a need to engage in meaningless conversation with anyway. Free hugs inside!"

[The Rose]

LOL! :laugh:

Should we add country music to that description?

Um, of course! Good catch, Rei! :thumbsup:

You could just name it 'Off Topic' or 'None INTJ Talk' ...
My concern with 'None INTJ Talk' is that it sounds like it's a forum for other MBTI types rather than a general discussion board.

[Tarrick]

And we most certain don't want that!

"general discussion board"
I love it!

So generic. Come on, we have better brains than that.

I made a poll for the name change here: http://intjforum.com/YaBB.pl?num=1190876047
