"Adventure's Boiler Room" or
"Adventure Game Boiler Room"
I don't think you need to get too creative on the forum name.
In the text description - how about -
"This is where you can talk about all Adventure Game topics that are too contraversial (too hot!) for the Adventure Game Discussion forum."
I'd also add something something along the lines of
"As always, please respect each other's opinions". I think you have to add that sort of statement. For new people, you don't want to give the impression that the forum is designed for flaming!
Personally, I think this is a good idea. That great thing is that, if a topic gets too "hot" for the Adventure Game Discussion, you can move it to "Adventure's Boiler Room", and the topic can merrily continue.
All for now.
Regards, mszv

Status : Online | Is this a good idea though? I mean when somebody starts a thread, how would they know if it is going to be a controversial conversation or not. I don't think it matters so much on the subject, as the behaviour of those that engage in the conversation.

The forum focus is "free discussing". I hate sense of false moralism.
If some person feels offended by a "hot topic", is enough get out.

| Deleted User | Jarmarchand - a recent example of the flaming seen in the forums recently is the big ol' Monkeybone Vs Kavaghon Ragnar thread. Hey, I admittedly got more than a little offensive at the guy (which I'm gonna learn not to) and he was pretty much offensive at me. We both had our reasons, but that kinda discussion has no place on the JA+ Adventure forum and can be continued elsewhere.
However, such, ahem, "discussions" really never lead anywhere... but if people want to continue them then they should at least on a different forum seperate from the main... it's a good idea. Negativity isn't really worthwile, and I'm going to try my best to avoid getting into that kind of war again...

I agree. It is the responses that make it "controversial." I have found that the disagreements on this forum interesting and not particularly inflammatory. I enjoy this forum more than any other.
I have been on some forums where the demeanor was absurd. I have not encountered that here. And I have seen posts regarding respect for one another's opinion.
To have a "controversial" section invites flaming rhetoric and, I am afraid, disrepect for those opinions.
