don't you think the spam forum name is crap? coz not all posts that are made in there are spam. they just dont have relivance to any other forum. wouldn't it be better as "off-topic discussion" or something?

I would stay with Spam :)
"liars Forum" sounds quite good.
but yah, I think it does need re-named, "spam forum" sounds boring.
I like the name "Spam". It just wouldn't feel right if it was called anything else.

i think discuss anything and spam should be merged one forum. :]
Both forums are used as spam anyway.

I think when the spam forum was created, the announcement said "You can post threads which dont fit anywhere else there."
So then it shouldnt be called spam ...

Isn't that relevant? It is Spam, therefore it goes in a Spam Forum...

Maybe have it called "Off-Topic Discussion / Spam", get both names in there.
I don't think changing the name of the forum will make any difference.

No point in really changing it, they mean the same thing anyways.

Milto: do you EVER go against the staff?!
You wait until a member of staff posts and then you just say "i agree" then you post STUPID conversations with other staff members in your sig.
STOP A LICKING.
On topic: leave it as it is.

Is there any other reason besides that that you want it changed? Off-topic discussion wouldn't change it. IMO the reason why the Spam forum is targeted is because they've tried to form a hierarchy and gang if you will, while some of them are genuinely nice people who I do know who sometimes will take a shot at others, it also attracts the bullies and jerks, and most of the people who spam do it because of the people who primarily use the forum, not because of the name of it.
Secondly, anything that doesn't fit that has to do with Habbo has the Discuss Anything to do with Habbo, anything with Habbox has Qs and Cs, anything else has Discuss Anything, so you shouldn't be using the Spam forum just because it doesn't fit anywhere else. Spam is for more pointless threads, Discuss Anything is for threads with valid opinions and valid topics, just they don't have any other place to go. We could merge the forums, yes, but I don't think you'd like it in the end. Here's why: The people in Discuss Anything are a lot of different forum members, from Spam, Runescape, and the general member core. They voice serious and real opinions and if the forums were merged they'd look through pages of spam to get to real topics. Spam forum members enjoy posting validly as well so they can use that forum for it.
Here's the other reason which will hit closer to our poor member's hearts :p There's 298,000+ posts there, almost 300,000 and the largest forum on the forum. If we merged it with spam post counts would go off, so many would be lost and revolts would break out over post counts. It sounds sad, and it rather is, but you know it would happen, so for that reason alone its pretty much not that feasible of a plan.
