Renaming the Swamphut

[Ahknaton]

Auntie Poulet's Swamphut is being renamed. Post your suggestions for a new name on this thread, and then we'll have a poll to decide which one to go with.

My suggestion:

The Lodge

[Jimbo Gomez]

Auntie Poulet's Swamphut is being renamed.


Is it? :p

[Atlas]

What's the purpose of this forum btw ? Then I'll make some suggestions.

[Jimbo Gomez]

It's a forum for the weird and/or occult.

[Scryllak]

Hard to name.

The Ziggurat?

[Atlas]

What about The "WeirStranBizness" ?

[Jimbo Gomez]

Ziggurat sounds cool.

[Jonathan]

Could posters give a reason for their choice(s) please.

[Anarch]

The Altar of the Damned.

[Jake Featherston]

I like "The Electric Treehouse," but I don't expect anyone else to.

[Scryllak]

Ziggurat sounds cool.

TY.

Could posters give a reason for their choice(s) please.

I like "Ziggurat" because it conveys the imagery of an ancient and dominant structure dedicated to mystical pursuits. The symbology of these structures is open to speculation, from a sort of ladder-to-the-gods to the belief that they were UFO beacons or some such. Perfect theme for the forum, I think.

Also, the word is badass.

[Jake Featherston]

I think Ziggurat is an inspired choice.

[Anarch]

Tower of Babel.

[il ragno]

It's a forum for the weird and/or occult.

How about the Necronomicondominium?

The Burgo Pass?

The Odditorium?

Odin 'n' Freya's Interdimensional House of Pancakes?

[harjit]

Ahk's Magic Kingdom

[Jonathan]

The Sub-Forum Formerly Known as Auntie Poulet's Swamphut.

[cyborg]

Rasputin and Baba Yaga's Slavic Funhouse

[albion]

Ziggurat sounds like a bad candy bar, or some kind of rodent poison.

I like Weird and Occult, because it's to the point.

You, sir, have no creativity. :p

[Björn]

The Temple - Similar reasoning to the Ziggeraut but a little more basic

[Torquil]

Rasputin and Baba Yaga's Slavic Funhouse

I'm for this! ^ :D

Ziggurat is pretty good too.

Don't be shy, we all know you wanted to propose the name Sigurdat. :p

Baba Yaga's Inverse Ziggurat Chambers of Restless Slavic Undeath; 'Ware Rasputin Reanimated

[Jake Featherston]

As long as the name doesn't incorporate "Zamfir and the Magic of the Pan Flute," I'm OKay with it....

How about "The Eldritch Chamber?"

[Isra'il Yahya]

Luminous Mysteries and The Scientically Unexplainable

[Jake Featherston]

The Luminiferous Ether

[cryptoracist]

Maybe should call it "Church".

:negro:

[Ahknaton]

The Luminous Lodge

The Solar Nexus

The Temple of Pluto

The Vril Factory

The Esoteric Phorum

[John Abney-Hastings]

I don't like the Lodge. Not all we witches and wizards approve of the Masons >_>

Nexus seems like a cool term.

[Keystone]

I like the name it has now. What's wrong with it? It has character.

[OVERWATCH]

Ones I like thusfar

The Luminiferous Ether
The Odditorium
The Vril Factory

[Ahknaton]

There has been a bit of public demand for a name change, so it's going to be put to a vote. There's nothing particularly bad with Auntie Poulet's Swamphut. Keeping the name the same will be one of the options in the poll.

[OVERWATCH]

Let us not forget the most famous witches' hut of all tyme, Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut, compleat with self ambulatory chicken legs and extra-dimensional space for those dark dinner parties.

Ditto for that although I'm not a witch or a wizard.

[Ahknaton]

Another suggested name, which I recently picked on my crypto-antennae from a hyper-mysterious occult source:

I was going to give it a couple of days from the initial post.

I'll create a poll thread this evening, so there's a few more hours to make suggestions. I'll also create a separate poll about whether to privatise the Swamphut (I'll include several variations on exactly how).

[Jimbo Gomez]

I like the Odditorium.

[Ahknaton]
