ok, i will admit this is jut nit picking, but it's not really discuss anything, people post in there and threads get moved to other sections, would it not be suited better if it was something such as 'other topics' or 'miscellaneous' :8 .... just playing devil's advocate, doesn't really bother me but I assume a new member would post ANYTHING there ;p

The name alone would be misleading but there is also the forum description innit

I see what you're saying but a forum name "miscellaneous" just sounds a bit sucky to me? Lol. Not picking on your idea but I think I prefer discuss anything even if it isn't THAT relevant.

"General Discussion"

General Discussion would be far more appropiate like Adamm suggested, especially as threads are being moved.

"General Discussion"
If it is renamed, I think it should be renamed to this :)

I think hes trying to point out that threads sometimes get moved out. For example "Computer help please" is created in Discuss Anything and a Moderator moves it to the Tech Section. Mostly because you would get better replies.

I suppose some people post in discuss anything because they can't find the correct forum/don't think there is one. Doesn't take a lot for mods to move the threads anyway so no point changing the name as it won't stop this.

Ughh just leaveeee it lol. I'm sure there are other forums which can require a member to read the description to fully understand its desired content - Discuss Anything is no different.

'Discuss Anything' has been part of Habbox since the start though! It's a relic! Although, I do see the point and if it was to be renamed it would be "Other Discussion" - however the forums description does state it's a place to discuss things that don't fit anywhere else.

I do sometimes feel that people use 'Discuss Anything' as a ground to just dump threads as they can't be bothered to search for the correct Forum, so perhaps a renaming could eradicate this.

Or just add to the description in bold; Please make sure there isn't a more suitable place for your thread before posting here.

It won't be renamed but I've got something to add to the description for sunday updates either this week or next.

I've thought about this and I think it should be other discussions or something along those lines. :)

The description has been updated now so there's no real need to rename it any more.
