There is a discussion going on here; people's opinion are being expressed.

The BS Taverns were started a long time ago after a particularly bad spell of the worst flaming and personal attacks ever seen, at that time, on the Mudcat. It was started as a haven for us all to go to.

Since then, we had dozens of them, some quite memorable. If you go to the first permathread, Mudcat FAQs, and look for the link to Lonesome EJ's Memorable threads you will see at least one of them listed.

So, over the years, before Paltalk, before Hearme, we all came to recognise "Tavern" as one of the BS fun threads where almost anything was possible and one could always expect to find a hug etc.

IMO, "Tavern" needs to remain identifiable as that type of thread. Otherwise it will confuse people, as it already has done the Mudcat's owner, Max.
