Okay... It's about time we gave this forum a new name... Theed Hangar was meant to be temporary. So... Lets get the names flowing and then we'll decide as a community. Now how's that for democracy on a web site? ;)
Seriously though... you guys should have a say in this.. so please list your suggestions for a new name. Of those I've seen listed so far.. I kind of like the sound of "Moldy Crow Cantina" and "Yoda's Swamp" ... but lets see what else people come up with.. then we'll vote.
Winner even gets an email @jediknightii.net to make it worth your while to think about a good name.
Good luck to everyone who participates.
Alright! You like mine. :) So i'm going to vote for it also.
I vote for Yoda's Swamp.
Qui-Gon's House of Goo
Okay, that was a joke.
Moldy Crow Cantina is good...

Bobba Fetts Bar or Mara's Meeting Place. There is a not so original one which would be The Smugglers Den.

Rave, thats prolly the first decent thing you have come up with since you have been here. Have a shortlist of about 5 and vote. As long as mine is on there.
wardz
Well, seeing as we talk about anything and everything STAR WARS in here, and we are loads of people from all over the globe, the Cantina one seems to sum it up pretty nice. Or we could be traditional and call it something predicable but fancy like 'The Galactic Senate. But i vote Cantina.
Currently we are planning on taking the best five or so names from this thread and put them in next week's poll. So right now we are just getting names.
Here are all the names that had been proposed
The Moldy Crow Cantina
WeeGee's Watering Hole
Baron's Hed Burger Bar
The Sulon Star Saloon
The Saber's Rest
Imperial Stomping Grounds
Rebel Rec. Room
Yodas Swamp
Center-point Station
Vader's asthma clinic
Nar Shaddaa Eatery (or bar or whatever)
No Rest for the Jedi
Idea Central
Arena of Ideas and Idiots
The Academy
Canyon Rim Congration
Barons Hed Creek
Valley of the Jedi
Tusken Tavern
Nar Shaddaa Grill & Bar
Wookie Woodstock
Smuggler's Bizarre
Scum of the Universe

WeeGee Ouija Board
Team Fart Arena
Bantha Nightclub
Dagabar Disco
Leia's Love Shack
The Wretched Hive
Chewie's Chess Club
Palpatine's Powder Room
Imperial Outpost
Yavin 4
I like the moldy crow cantina, vader asthma clinic and Wookie Woodstock
Wow, i came up with something decent :)
So we have had a few votes for "Vaders Asthma Clinic." Good work DIGL. :)
If some aren't used for the theed hangar, will they be used for the others ones?, eg editing, clans... cos something like "Watto's Workshop" would be great for editing...
wardz
Go for Vader's Asthma Clinic!
Yeah! Go for it! come on guys, it would be great for comic value.
I can imagine it already:
Vagabond - "I am going to move this topic over to Vaders Asthma Clinic because it is not JK2 related"
You KNOW you want to..
wardz
I vote Moldy Crow Cantina.
I like:
-The Wretched Hive (of scum and villainy)
-The Smuggler's Bizarre
-The Moldy Crow Cantina
-The Plumber's Hangout
-The Bespin Casino
...although I don't quite understand why Kyle's ill-fated ship would be converted into a drinking establishment.
I reckon smugglers Den. Vaders Asthma Clinic is good, but maybe too comical and not serious enough.
The Council Chambers.
It makes sense cause the council chambers are a part of the Jedi Temple.
Yeah, Vader's Asthma Clinic is v.good, but i don't know if it is a good idea for the forum thingy to be called that. maybe the cantina ones, or the council ones would be better, or at least more suited to the general feel of the forums
Come on people its little things like that which helps the newer people feel at home and WANT to join our community, they think its funny and welcoming so they join.
Its Genius!
wardz
A forum by any other name...
Well I guess anything that doesn't have "cantina" in it (it's good, but overused) is fine by me.
We could call it "The Carbon Freeze" you know, like the Tastee Freeze (Ice cream) joint. Nah.....
Just don't call it "Jar Jar's Alphabet Galaxy," heh.
Galactic Plumberman Memorial? Okay, I'll stop now. ; )
Kurgan
The Valley of the Jedi!!!!!!! or Coruscant TapCafe!
I like all this stuff about the Jedi, but it is Too close to the Jedi Temple name of the other room thingy. I think this should be just the normal population of the galzy without the mysterious powers of the jedi, so it should be The Galactic Senate or something like that. just the voice of the normal people.
I'll go with "Vaders Asthma Clinic"
Very original!
How about Ugnaught Bob's?
Thankyou Aragorn, I'll think you'll find people that this name is more popular than people are giving it credit for...
Vote "Vaders Asthma Clinic" for a more interesting forum!
The wardz
:)
Everytime I read it, it certainly puts a smile on my face. :)
I love Vader's Asthma Clinic, it's very original, and comical. :)
But there are people out there who would want a more sophisticated name. I guess I'm suggesting that Vader's Asthma Clinic is put in the poll at least, let the people decide!
Letalis, That is a very good point, I am beginning to like the aussies! (until the ashes start, but lets not go there.) If it can be put on the poll and then people can decide what they want.
To be slightly more serious, The Theed Hangar "notion" is where you can talk about anything and that is meant to be reflected in the name I have proposed. If you want serious discussion you have the main room.
My name may crash and burn and some people may find it a little silly, but that is the point! The Theed hangar is meant to be fun!
Cheers,
wardz
Carbon Freeze! Fantastic! I vote that!
Carbon Freeze
The Hutt Hut
-OR-
The Hutt Hangout
-OR-
The Pizza Hutt
-OR-
Pizza The Hutt(I'm sure you've see Spaceballs)

How are we going to fit all these on the poll? Or is THIS the poll?
wardz
I'm pretty sure the moderators are gonna pick the best 6 or something, then we'd vote on the main page. I think that makes sense.

Give up on the "Vaders Asthma Clinic" ... that one is not even making the poll... just doesn't get the point across... funny.. but out of place. :(
That would have probably won the poll, but If its not in the run I go for The Moldy Crow Cantina, Yodas Swamp or Wookie Woodstock (but I guess that wouldnt be considered either)
my 2 cents: the moldy crow cantina.
Upon further consideration, I don't really like the Moldy Crow Cantina. As has been said before, Cantina has been overused as there's already one at JK.net. And besides, why would anyone, besides Kyle, name a cantina after his late ship?
So with that in mind, how about some of these alternatives:
Nar Shadda Hideout: a smokey hole in the wall, tucked safely at the end of a narrow, dimly lit alley on Nar Shadda. Here, smugglers and other unsavory characters often congregate, to discuss various aspects of their perilous careers, as part of the galaxy's seedy underworld, safe from the inquisitive ears of the authorities.
The Holonet: a technological marvel, connecting disparate beings and allegiances from across the galaxy in a virtual community, enabling unprecedented expression of ideas and communication.
[ June 27, 2001: Message edited by: Vagabond ]
The Holonet. I think that is the best one we've had so far. My vote goes for that. It's not humorous, but I think it's a good one.
The Holonet
Poor Vader, doesn't get his Asthma Clinic. :(
In which case, I vote for The Holonet it's clever.
May the best name win... ;)
I vote for the Moldy Crow Cantina...
...but then I would since I came up with it. :D
Aristotle,
You may take my forum name, but you shall not take my FREEDOM!!! Its a consipiracy, it would have won hands down. :D
So I presume that means I shall have to vote for another more politically correct name then doesn't it? :mad:
ok, i give up. But I don't see how "Wookie Woodstock" is any better than mine, and its not even funny. Just rolls off the tongue cos of the alliteration.
My new vote goes to "Yoda's Swamp."
wardz
Isn't that an assonance? I may be wrong?
sort of. assonance is where you make two different words half rhyme, like swan and stone.
alliteration is like the Slippery Snake Slid on the Ice. Repeating the same sound S's and C's.
That kind of thing, anyway this detracts from the point.
wardz
Hey, don't forget about The Carbon Freeze!!
Good one, Kurg!
I think It cant be the Holonet because Its already used at theforce.net, and It must be something original
Holonet (
http://www.theforce.net/holonet/)
Its also true that cantina is overused
I think I vote for Yodas Swamp
