RE: Correct Poll - Forum Name
A furnace is a device used for high temperature heating. The name derives from Greek word fornax, which means oven.

Just a reminder that putting the word flames in front of it is not needed since that's implied. Its like folks in the government world calling a CAC a CAC Card. CAC stands for Common Access Card when it's called a CAC Card they are saying Common Access Card Card.

I like that one. Since its looking like the Flames Furance one might win out. I went ahead and changed my sig to reflect what everyone else on here will view LU as when they see that...LOL

RE: Correct Poll - Forum Name
The Flames Furnace identifies it as the furnace is in possession by the flames. It also has the team name in the title. And it only has 3 votes so anything can happen. Don't overreact.

It being in the forum subsection Liberty already identifies it as Liberty's.

We moving to the Active board, and soon to Active Link, is much more important than how we tweak the slogans and graphics of the site. I can agree with most anything recommended regarding slogans and graphics and am not married to any mentioned by myself or others. I'm mostly trying to stimulate and spike the interest. The merit of the site will be determined more by what is said than by what is seen.

If someone asked you if you go to the furnace or the Flames' furnace then which would you or the casual person most likely identify with Liberty? I think it is better branding to have the school name in there even if some may see it as redundant. But JMU which someone mentioned earlier goes by Dukes Domain instead of JMU Dukes Domain. Maybe they should because when I think of Duke then JMU isn't the first school that comes to mind.

Neither of those names would work for the casual person nor would it help in identifying it. Having a winning team does that not putting LU or Flames in the title. I think JMU's method works and given the huge amount of posts they get on a daily basis we should copy them. Keep it simple and not silly. If we named this forum "Taco Meat" and curb stomped teams in FB and Basketball yearly people would remember who we are no matter what the name is.

I don't think we should copy JMU or anyone else for that matter. Let's do our own thing. And Flames' Furnace nor the other suggestions are "silly." You have your opinion which is fine and so does everyone else which is why there is a poll to determine what the majority likes best. If it is Flames' Furnace, Furnace, Fan the Flames, or Taco Meat then we'll thrive no matter what. And I agree that we'll get better interest in the forum if we're curb stomping others but until that happens we have close to zero sports publicity.

What could go wrong with "Flaming" in the title? LOL! It is our unofficial branding to open new doors; ones that swing both ways!

RE: Correct Poll - Forum Name
Notes on the current board. The page numbers are the same or near same color and is difficult to see. Lighter color needed. Next, the promo banner near the top expands almost the width of the page. With the current "Fan the Flames" text, the banner appears underneath it. Stacking "Fan the Flames" and/or replacing it with a graphic should still allow the advertising banner to appear at a less predominate size.

The pull down menus in red are fantastic.

It's been a while since I have taken a grammar course so someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think it is The Flames' Furnace because Flames is plural and therefore the apostrophe would go after the s.

Ok, who is the grammar wiz among us that knows the answer if we go with "The Flames-Flame's-Flames' Furnace". Not me.
