Multichoice would be appropriate if we were asked to pick more than one name.

That is the way it's spelled though when meant in the sense you wanted it.

I've actually only heard of "srs business", although, I do like "srs bzns" much more. Definitely more hilarious.

Actually, I prefer good old Funhouse. But if I have to choose, it'd be Outhouse.
Just putting my two cents in, since we seem to have resolved everything while I was asleep.
My apologies for PMing you Eos, I hadn't noticed that the poll had gone up and that the dicussion had ended.

Well, it is going to be the new name for the Not-Funhouse, it is truly serious business. Doubtful if there was a thread deciding the new name for The Speakeasy it would be so close. But I could be wrong.

Guys, before you vote, think of how you can use these names in conversation. "Posting in a Shenanigans thread" sounds dumb. Serious Business thread sounds better, but Outhouse thread had the best sound. Also, you can tell people you were searching through the outhouse for something you saw a while ago. Outhouse by nature is hilarious.

Literally the least awful thing that habitually happened in the funhouse. Even less so than that new idiotic meme "Should we tell him" which makes me want to punch the poster into the sun.

Actually, it makes perfect sense and fits. "There is shenanigans going on in this thread." "Why do you guys like shenanigans so much?" Shenanigans can provide endless and boundless fun.
Serious Business thread sounds better, but Outhouse thread had the best sound. Also, you can tell people you were searching through the outhouse for something you saw a while ago. Outhouse by nature is hilarious.
Serious Business thread doesn't flow off the tongue at all. And saying Srs Bzns thread while better than just Serious Business is still somewhat stupid.
"I was looking for some shenanigans I saw a while ago."
"I was looking through the outhouse for something I saw a while ago."
Shenanigans actually makes a cute joke. Remember that when you go to the polls voters, do you want to post in an outhouse of all things? Or would you rather have some light-hearted fun loving shenanigans?

So the polar opposite of "#1 Site for Maplestory Data" is "northperry"?
If that's true, then the polar opposite of "Chinchilla" is "Hostess Cake". I'll go with Hostess Cake. :chin:

No, the purpose of southperry is data extractions, the purpose of the funhouse is illogical shenanigans. These are obviously opposites, as is North and South, so Northperry (Pole) for shenanigans.

They are as opposite as salt and sugar.
As in, not at all opposites.

Because spamming the thread with "It sure is cOLD in here!" was a lot better for repost threads. At least the former had a chance to leave the OP confused and wonder if his dumb thread was even worth it.
Silly Sarah.
How many times was it even said? Hardly "meme" status.

Prove it. Funhouse is an illogical subforum that's for goofing around, the actual website is dedicated to data extractions, and elaborating the functions of the game.
To summarize to those who can't understand, Southperry as a whole is for intelligent discussions, the funhouse, not so much.
Edit: And I don't care if you like my name or not, it just annoys me when someone outright says "no it's not" without any real explanation.

It's like salt and sugar, they are very different but not really opposites.
Southperry is normally for brainy discussions of maplestory, the opposite of that would be stupid/dumb throwing of posts about other subjects. The funhouse is not like that.

How long are you going to keep the poll up? Until there's a pretty clear winner? Or just until sometime tonight? Doesn't seem like there's too many "regulars" that have yet to vote. Shenanigans looks like it's gotten a steady lead at this point in time.

Srs Bzns starts and ends with the same letters as Shenanigans, that effectively means they voted for Shenanigans as well.

The grounding is for at least a week, and at least one mod has asked to keep it offline till 6/1, so there's no reason not to leave the vote active until it's actually going to be used.

Keeping it off for at least 21 days would be good I think. That way no one can post in the final Funhouse threads. It'll be like a whole new start!

Shenanigans has my vote. Srs Bzns doesn't seem fitting with the rest of the board names. Outhouse is pretty damn clever, but seems like it would be better as a name for an archive section. Shenanigans is simple and captures all the madness and tomfoolery that happened in the Funhouse.

Hm. Not going to vote since I'm unlikely to use the new forum, but I'm going to state my impressions of the names anyway.
The Outhouse - works great in conjunction with the Funhouse. Once enough time passes and people forget the old name, however, it becomes just a distasteful name describing a place full of crap.
Shenanigans - implies mischief, fun at the expense of others. To me it sounds like an invitation to troll, rickroll, etc. Can't we find a word for fun that doesn't carry such overtones?
Srs Bzns - ew. Can't stand the spelling, don't like the memeness, just no. But then maybe it is appropriate after all, since that kind of memeness is part of what goes on in there.
Hate Them All - yeah, I guess you might say I do. This could also be a good name for the Angry Dome, if we ever need to rename it.
Anyway, good luck to us all.

Wait, this is actually a good idea.
You can create a new forum called Shenanigans if it wins and make the Funhouse ''The Outhouse'' and archive it.
So instead of taking the corpse and putting it in the ground, we're going to bring the corpse back into the living room so everyone can take a gander while it decomposes?
Not so sure if I'm into that. Plus the board is invisible to the search engine and all of the posts will be by-default hidden after 21 days. I see little reason to keep it around. I think Eos will keep the board but make it hidden if only not to tank our global post count by almost 100k posts.

Maybe. Just maybe you should have a contest for forum names like you did for new SP logo. Hmmmm? Was this proposed already lol? I mean. You're just taking possible names and it's not like you even HAVE to make the new forum. I bet I could win! Maybe I'll get a pretty badge for content testing for me making a name under my avatar!
