* Total of eighteen (18) from July 6 to 14, 2013. Plus ale1552's friend.
* Thirty (30) Members and we'll open our private club forum.
To do so, we must have an official site identity.
So, let's get creative. Please post your suggestions here.
Member whose name is selected receives the Honour of Our Forum's First Thread!
(Yes, even if it's a WAG or "Sticky Thread Game's Daughter" lol)
Let's capture the spirit of a relaxed environment committed to all of its member's comfort and enjoyment. Our objective:
a casual internet forum where new and old friends gather to swap a few thoughts and laughs at no one else's expense. Chronic Complainers, Spammers, Flamers, Trolls Not Allowed (effective now). Here's the list of suggested names so far:
1. "Fiasco with Honour" (Our Private Club Forum)
2. "Call Home: Troll Free" (Only Within Our Private Club Forum Calling Area) lol
3. It's not cherry it's grape.
4. Bob's Mob
5. Camelot Oasis in Space...
6. "Just COS"
7. Friends All React To Spam (or it's anagram)
8. "Spamalot catharsis in yer face"
9. "Our space, not My space!"
10. My Camelot Oasis in Space II

Wonderful, Andy! Disclosing their tentative interest this week will facilitate our timeline decision regarding "when" to open. Rusty, rookie54, Hand of Hecate, LemonJello, twhitehead, Indonesia Phil, JS357, Suzianne, Kewpie, the Newest RHP Member, even Russ or Chris will all be welcomed cordially and extended the same hospitality. All will comply with Red Hot Pawn FAQ: Forum Guidelines (flexibly administered) as well as standards of common decency or forfeit membership. (gb)

"The Guidelines"
"The following twelve points are the guidelines that should be followed when posting to the forums.
1. Discussions in forums can often get heated, but while you may take issue with another poster's viewpoint, you must not resort to personal attacks or abuse.
2. Do not post offensive or inflammatory remarks that stray beyond the bounds of reasoned debate. Calling another poster an "idiot" will leave a post subject to immediate removal.
3. Do not post profanity. There may be occasions where the context of certain words may be acceptable, and this will be at the moderators' discretion, however posts containing profanity will often be removed automatically by the "robomod". There will be situations where it removes inoffensive posts, but this is unavoidable.
4. Do not post material which is obscene, indecent or pornographic.
5. Please stay on topic. There is clearly a subjective judgment to be made as to whether a post strays off topic and in the majority of cases the post will not be deleted unless it is considered to be disruptive to the thread and its participants.
6. While it is acceptable to post links to external articles and information, you may not use these forums for advertising or promotion of products or services or canvassing support for political parties or movements. You may post links to personal home pages, but repeated spamming of such links is not permitted.
7. Do not make defamatory posts. While reasonable criticism of an individual or organization is not in itself libellous, any post that adversely affects the reputation of a clearly identifiable person or company is likely to be removed.
8. Do not harass other members of the community. Harassment is any unwanted conduct including insults, jokes and any remarks affecting the dignity of another. Such conduct could relate to gender, race, nationality, sexuality, religion, disability or other similarly sensitive issues.
9. Do not post information which invades the privacy of another individual, or the disclosure of which would breach an individual's reasonable expectation of confidentiality.
10. Any posts which are deemed to be incitements to commit criminal offenses, or any post which seeks to influence another to commit an offense will be removed.
11. Repeated posting of the same material (spamming) is not acceptable. Overly trivial posts may be removed at the discretion of the forum moderators if they are deemed to be disruptive or distracting to the thread and its participants.
12. Do not rant. Ranting is defined here as a style of post that comes across as a political broadcast or an angry protest that does little to progress the discussion or to involve other posters. Such postings often feel like an intrusion into the general debate, regardless of the validity of the points being made." FAQ: Forum Guidelines (notation/italics: for ease of reference)
Here's an updated list of all suggested names so far:

-Removed-Time may come when I'm no longer able or capable of caring about Red Hot Pawn and its Members. Since returning from a sixteen month medical leave of absence in April, 2012, I've cared more intensely than since joining in July, 2007.
Successful ventures require forward planning, which involves patient removal of obstacles and the elimination of excuses for failure. All of us, including you, must choose between being part of the challenge or part their resolution.
If you have personal issues with me, please have the courtesy to use the site's Personal Message Feature, rather than continuing to interfere with the positive tone and stated purpose of this thread. Effective, immediately. Thank you. (gb)
