    Okay, I don't usually post here (In fact, I'm not sure I ever have!) but I do lurk here now and again for the amusement factor. So, if a lurker can be said to have any say, The Back Room works pretty well as a name - it represents a place that isn't in view of the average customer, and where things might take place out of sight and out of mind.

    Caffeine - it's what's for breakfast! (and lunch, and dinner, and...)

      Lounge -> Stays Soapbox -> I very much want this to stay as-is. TFFKATS -> I want to start fresh on this. You guys all know each other, all know where to find this place, and together you all made the Soapbox into something that wasn't intended. So I'll finish the job and rename it and it can, as I said, continue on in the manner you wish it to. (Only thing I haven't yet added are moderators) So a new name: "The Basement" seemed, ironically, to offend at least one here. So I'll try and keep a running update of potential names The Cave The Backroom The Cesspool TFFKATS ...

      Why does it have to be named? Just leave a big blank spot up at the top of the page or a picture of a tree or a Ferrari or a cat. or Forum 2605

        I gave up trying to think of a good name for the Slightly Risque But Not Cellar-Depth Version Of The Lounge and so renamed it back to The Soapbox in the vein hope that it will be what I originally wanted it to be, and instead renamed this forum to be slightly more accurate. The place were you guys can gather around, play some poker, cuss and blaspheme and genuinely get up to no good without the oldies upstairs getting upset. If I could throw in an old bar and dart set I would.

              Well, I'll concede to wine or whine, take your pick, and gamblin'. I'll leave the wimmin' to you. I think my husband might have something to say about it ;P Trish
