Nutty, as with just about everyhing on Mudcat, the Mudcat Tavern is not everyones cup of tea (it certainly isn't mine). It is however an important part of Mudcat for many and I think that you will find that many of the "Taverners" 'attend "real" folk clubs and singarounds, sing "real" folk songs and drink "real" beer' and even if some don't, I don't see that it matters.Having no personal feelings towards the Mudcat Tavern does however lead me to see the problem differently to kat though in that BOTH Mudcat Taverners and Paltalk Taveners can get confused when they see the "The Tavern Is Open".
I suppose, all in all I think that a change of name for the Paltalk Room would be a good idea. When I started it it was the Mudcat Song Circle. If Amegin is willing, there is no reason why he can't rename his room to the original Paltalk name I used for these events.
