I just used my super awesome mod powers to rename our main chatroom from the predictable and dry "The Workplace" to "The Water Cooler", on a whim. It's a cool name, suggested by Rarity, and it's a reminder of the Area51 days of the site.

Several other sites have cool names for their main chat rooms, some examples are:

Do you like it? Can you think of a better name? Should I be forever exiled for (ab)using my super awesome mod powers on a whim?

  • @rar Not for the main room, chat room tags only make sense for topic oriented chat rooms, not for the general discussion one.

  • That makes sense...but most sites have tags in gen discussion too

Whoever suggested this name is a genius. We should keep it.

  • Agreed, I think it's the most sensible name, and it reflects what chat is to the site (a water cooler discussion).

  • I was about to suggest water cooler... I think it is the best solution. Or perhaps Coffee Machine...
