Actually, I do think that No Philosophy Allowed is pretty self-explanatory and adamant.
I vote for No Philosophy Allowed.
Weâre just throwing ideas out there at the moment Arc, so hold your horses 
I prefer the original titles. This site was one personâs idea and it worked. It drew all of you and me here. Progress and change is necessary yet, we need the past as well. Home is home.
Kris are you saying that we should go back to the days of slavery because we need the past and because tradition and stuff?
Damn hon did that reach hurt?? 
Hmm⌠just a thought here. How about naming it the HOLD YOUR PHILOSOPHICAL HORSES - WAY BACK thread?

Carleas would have to spend the rest of the year digging up beautiful posts and moving them to forums where they are allowed.
Lets just do away with the hilarious but ridiculous idea that anyone comes to a site called ilovephilosophy for non-philosophical chat.
It makes me laugh every time I think about it. That must have been such an odd conversation leading up to the decision.
mundane babble was a cool name. it doesnt explicitly deny philosophy and is casual.
General chat would work but is dry.
Cantina or something? Something suggestive of leisure.

Hi Jakob,
A bit of irony and sarcasm there, Jakob? I donât want to presume what you actually meant by that.
You certainly cannot be saying that philosophers are anti-social creatures, can you?
Can you elaborate on that. What odd conversation and what decision?
âDown Timeâ just occurred to me. Simple and without affect.
Chatter
We are talking arent we? So no. What I said is that we come here because we love philosophy. Obviously we would not go into a forum if we actually thought of it as ânon-philosophical chatâ.
The decision to take on that name.
I laughed.
This is reductive. A site dedicated to philosophy, that attracts people who love philosophy, can still have an area dedicated to non-philosophical chat. Academics go to bars, politicians take up painting, sports players read books. None of this is at all inconsistent. We are a forum for philosophers, but philosophy cannot be all of a philosopherâs life.
I like âDown Timeâ too. Maybe that addresses Jakobâs concerns as well.
Um, I disagree. Every part of my life is basically philosophy. Even when Iâm chatting non-philosophically, Iâm still being philosophical. I wake up every morning and piss philosophy.
Same here. I had figured that outlook for more or less universal among ILP posters. But then Carleas hasnt been posting for a good while.
Carleas, or another mod; a request then to move some of my threads to the Philosophy forum. Please transfer this one as soon as you get the chanceâŚ
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=188756
Iâll put up most of my threads for transfer. I am beyond wanting to post my thoughts in a ânon-philosophical chatâ forum.
Thanks.
You say that, but it looks like youâve posted in the âPost a Picture of Yourselfâ thread over 300 times.
Anyway, this is besides the point since weâre talking about what the name should be. What do you think of âDown Timeâ?
Fixed Cross?
:-"
It has a ring to it.
Everything is better than ânon philosophicalâ.
Sorry if Im cranky. When you changed the name I had just invested a couple of hundred hours in a thread called âthe philosophersâ there.
