Oh, cool...ha! I forgot to mention I did contact a moderator about it and they basically said if we can agree on something to then forward it along. I voted "Fallout History" as it is simple yet elegant. :coolvaultboy:

I would think that Fallout Universe, would be best, as often times the topics vary extremely from things such as the state of affairs in Australia, to whether or not South Africa had nuclear weapons.

I like archives - Its appropriate to the setting. Many of the others are very generic.

Well, I'm voting for Universe.

I think it needs to be generic in order to be easily understood.

"Universe" seems the clearest to me. I'll admit I find it a bit silly sounding, but no sillier than the current name.

The Great Library of Fallout, is definitely a great name....though it sounds more appropriate for a CIV2 Archive, then Fallout.

Why does it need a new name?If it's called something like Fallout Archives people will think it's old post of the Fallout General Discussion board. :nuts:

Because "Lore" is more fantasy sounding.

'Fallout canon' is the only option that doesn't sound stupid... Except however, the pefectly apt and reasonable 'Fallout lore'.

Reasonable to who exactly? TES fans? Yeah, of course the fantasy people think it sounds reasonable. Again, keep your elves and furries out of my yard please. :gun:

I bought The original Fallout as it came out and have been a fan of the series ever since. I followed the post-Fallout 2 dark age and resented Bethesdas plans for Fallout 3 to the point of spitting feathers (Until I realised what they had created wasn't half-bad). I didn't like Oblivion and generally don't like fantasy-based games. What does the word 'lore' mean to me? Exactly as it is defined as ' A body of traditions and knowledge on a subject'. Just because you have associated a different connotation to the word is not our problem.

Further more, in response to your moronic parting mesage... Keep your personal stigmas and erroneous interpretations out of my garden please.

[Edit] Just to save confusion, I loved Morrowind. But my heart will always belong to Fallout

Fallout Canon doesn't make sense to me - a lot of the discussions deal with information or speculation outside of the canon.

In all fairness Fallout Lore should have been an option on the poll.

I agree. Only reason I voted 'Canon' was due to the lack of 'Lore'.

Well so far ten people have voted for Universe, but what if thirty voted to keep Lore?

Why aren't more than two of you speaking up about it then?

I don't like the name, but I do agree that "lore" should be an option.

Well "change nothing" should have been an option since the very title of the poll is "to decide a new name" and "new" being the key word and "lore" being the already existing name of the forum.


Anyway, sure. Do a poll over again. I only stated before that "lore" bothered me personally and "who is with me?" right? Go back and check. Nobody seemed to be defending lore.
