Should this forum get a new name ?
« on: July 26, 2010, 04:33:47 PM »
Guys, there's something been bugging me the last 6 months or so.

I've seen this forum evolve from a mostly DL dedicated forum, into a much more "generic" arcade videogame focussed forum.

Since by far the most users are from Europe here, wouldn't it be cool to name it something like Euro Arcade Forum ?

It's just an idea of course, and it's definitely not for me to judge or decide.....

But I feel we need a Europe focussed forum and this has grown in that direction the last couple of years....

A new name like that could also attract visitors that may now think this is a DL related-only forum, and thus miss out a lot if they are not interested in that one particular game.

What do you guys think ? Of course Bruno is calling the shots on this and I don't mind whatever happens but it's just a suggestion to think a bit about....

True, it took me about two weeks to figure out why the place was called DLF in the first place  :lol:. But on the other hand i think that arcade lifestyle is kinda soulless. I haven't been on the boards long but i love it here and special the vibe here.

I would suggest something like : The Lair
Current Project: Donkey Kong

"Arcade Lifestyle" is the best for me, even if "Dragon's Lair Fans" keeps MAMEcab-oriented newbie far away  :twisted:

I don't mind. I like the content of DLF, and I don't even think about the title of the forum no more.

That's because you know what is here now....you have to think of "passers by" who probably think this is only about DL...
