    Can we get a name change here?

    'Leica camera chat' sounds, well, a little common really.
    The LUF have 'Barnack's Bar' and we couldn't really have Leica Lounge as it would confuse the unenlightened but we need something with a little zing but also redolent of 'hallowed halls'
    Red Dot room doesn't work either as so many cameras don't have it anyway .

    I think whatever you have, it will have to have Leica in the name, for obvious reasons.

    Plus, I'm not sure TFC is into giving people a choice - it might be like the custom titles, in that you have to take what you're given. So ask for a change if you dare - but you might live to regret it!

    Yeah, I can see it becoming something like Leica Loonies, or M-mount Mutterings - or something worse.

    Just as long as we don't include the dread phrase "where the elite meet and greet" (or hurl, more likely hurl actually with that slogan!).

    ... or something worse.
    What - like the one you suggested some months ago (courtesy of your old boss) for a certain other camera board?

    [I'd give a link, but it's in the mods' forum, and not accessible to non-mods.]
