The \hbar.

I have seen this being used before. Let me recall... Yes, Physics Stack Exchange has a chat room named "The \hbar". (I was a member in that site before I joined PF.)

I vote to keep it PF Lounge.

It's a relaxed forum where can just lean back, shoot the breeze, and not think too hard. Just like a real-world lounge.

I absolutely agree w/ Tom. PF Lounge is exactly what it is. Are we going off here into the modern American methodology of "it ain't broke, but let's fix it anyway" ?

The category will stay how it is, but maybe we can be creative in its name. I refuse to believe I lazily came up with the best name possible

Well, it might have been beginner's luck, but you did, dammit. Leave it alone

Even if you like the word lounge, we don't need to keep it a boring "PF Lounge". We can come up with something like "The Particle Zoo Lounge"

 

[Charles Link]

How about the "PF Corner Lounge"? That way, it also distinguishes it from the "President's Lounge".

Perhaps we can keep the word "Lounge" in the title but can we make it a little more creative?

 

[jack action]

If we have to go the same but different, this is the way I always read it:

Pff! Lounge

 

[berkeman]

"A Physicist walks into the Forum Lounge..."

(kind of long, but humorous...) Guess we need something more general than "Physicist", though...

 

[Ygggdrasil]

"Event Horizon Cantina"

I like the analogy between the event horizon of a black hole and our general discussion board because until very recently, scientists believed that no useful information could come out of either of them!

I will conditionally go with the suggestion from @jack action . The condition being that: only if the powers that be insist on asserting their power to make a change.
