Changing the name of this forum from the Tavern

[QDP2012]

Tavern has been the moniker for so long I'd hate to see it change.

But, if you must, how about FREE? FREE is Foolishness, Rants, Everything Else.

Well?

OP indicated no rants. Cute acronym, though.

Since you said

.... This is not a Rants forum! It is to serve topics that are border-line not Uniden oriented.

I would think Tavern would not be appropriate for the reason it's not a place for ranting. I would like to see the Uniden Lounge, as it insinuates sitting around talking. Uni-Den is definitely clever, but I think not everyone will get it....

My $.02...

I really like the new Uniden Forum lay out. I vote to keep it named as the Tavern, unless it will be moderated with an Iron Fist, then a name change should be in order.

I'm glad that some people like it. Thanks. But I intention for this sub-forum to have less moderator interaction provided people can keep their opinions civilized, and not troll or hijack. We'll be looser with the thread topics though as long as they do not fit within the others, which means we move them.

And keep the comments coming. So far I'm inclined to leave it as-is.

One suggestion is to put the informative stuff about the product back under a product category where it can easily be found rather than in the BS section.

Almost didn't find the discussion on batteries and the 436 because it had been moved to here.

Informative posts will generally be in Tech Support if they're from members, or from Uniden/Paul in the parent Uniden forum.

Getting on the topic of batteries is getting pretty generic so that's why that thread went here. When we see opinions, impressions or observations that aren't asking questions those threads will be here. Anything on a highly technical level will go in the Performance and Tech sub.

I'm getting to the point of creating a Sticky thread as a guide for where to post within the Uniden subs. We can only make the forum descriptions so long, and I would prefer the less thread moves the better.

I agree.

Very constructive. Thank you for this bounty of wisdom.

A Lounge and Tavern are the same in my opinion though one is more prone to alcohol than the other. If you rant loud enough in either one you'll get thrown out. Anyhow...semantics.

The decision is still open. I'll let it run until the poll closes.

I guess it could be given a more international flavor by calling it a Pub. One issue is the beer may not be as cold.

Last Call, eh?

Wait, that might work ... where nothing else fits.

Thanks for replying. I do see your point though and hadn't considered that previously.

I second (or third or fourth or whatever) the name "Uni-Den". It's either call it that or call it the "I used to have the new Uniden radio but I returned it, however I still want a place to complain about it anyway" forum. :roll:

[K2KOH]

Uni Den. Yeah, baby!!!

The answer might be right before our eyes:

The Uniden Tavern
For general chit-chat and non-technical discussion specific to Uniden and does not fall within the above forum topics. This is not the forum to get technical advice from.

How about "Uniden General Chit-chat"

Just kind of thinking ahead for when Whistler scanners get going, their forum may well take the shape of the Uniden sub-forums. So having "XYZ Chit-chat" may also work for that.

I hit the wrong button. I meant yes, the current name is fine.
