Sorry Lance, I must have started that thread just before you posted. I like the new name! But for a minute I thought my screen went wonky, I was like wtf?

I know what you mean - I was looking for The Hip's BathHouse site one day and then I found that other site - oh man, I do not even want to talk about it.

Looks like we need a Poll. Vote at the top.

I hope that the lyrics don't reflect the way you feel about the members...
there's still roaches and ants in here so resourceful and clever
But I was never that entranced with The Bathouse either...

I like Titanic Terrarium much better. The reference to the recording studio may be lost on a lot of people that arent as hard-core. And I always thought that Bathouse could be misinterpreted

.
You could always do a poll with more names. But it's your site, and that would likely never work out anyway, as those things never seem to get a consensus. Also, (just putting this out there) you could change it up monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, annually - whatever.
I like Titanic Terrarium anyway, stick with your guns!

I like Bathouse better than Titanic Terrarium but I was never totally sold on Bathouse in the first place. Here are a couple suggestions I have and why I like them.
1. "Killing Time Forum" - Most people come here to kill some time, read some hip info and get up to date information.
2. "The Luxury Forum" - I find it such a luxury that we have this awesome website to discuss the hip and other things.

Change is good. I agree on all points. Of course, whatever you call it, we'll all still be around. I should point out, however, that the phrase "spent some time in the Terrarium" would probably raise fewer eyebrows than "hung out in the Bathouse".
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Titanic Terrarium is a great choice; I don't think most people will necessarily make a connection to the nautical disaster, but will see it as an adjective meaning "freakin' huge".
Since a terrarium is defined as
A small enclosure or closed container in which selected living plants and sometimes small land animals are kept and observed, it's clearly apropos. Afterall, isn't the membership somewhat like an online eco-system, a constantly evolving sub-culture of sorts?
