Dont you remember the times where Taverns existed in Dota to pick your heroes?
it's only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything

I am on the same boat with "Trench". Make it "Welcome to the Trench!"

Actually although I have no objections at all to "The Tavern" it really, really ought to be called "The Trench" now that somebody has suggested it. X-D

I do like trench too.

Maybe we get a plot-twist where techies visit tavern and we're left with the trench.

I never realized until now that that tavern has 2 giant stills basically injecting booze into it.

I will say that the "Dota 2 General: General" subsection is currently literally just a mashup of the community news and featured news sections (outside of leloup's stream thread what a hero). Which seems a bit... pointless.

I like how the stills are as big as the structure itself. Priorities.

Still pushing for the Trench, however. It accurately reflects the community as a whole.

Trench has a very negative connotation/inside-jokey feel to it.

Tavern sounds like an off-topic spam area.

I think is shows how seriously the community takes itself(aka, not at all) and promotes the idea that everyone is in the trench, no matter how good you are. That the struggle is real.

Plus its funny and people get the joke instantly.

You could also consider "lounge" or "The Fountain".


Using what GD devolved into as inspiration, I nominate "The shit pit" :D

Though honestly the fountain is pretty good.

Holy shit, Trench is even better!

Roshan's Pit is good.

Lounge is good, I don't think that's been used already.

So this is comparable to reddit, then? Random content that is more of an amusing- than an actual informative nature?

Sounds like a plan!

Congratulations you found a tiny point of overlap between every forum and Reddit that always exists regardless of how the forum operates and made a totally ridiculously sounding comparison off the back of it.


Woah, sorry! I was just kidding :o
Should've included ./s tags, I guess!

I'm fine with tavern. Throwbacks to wc3 are good.

Also my stream thread will continue to be a beacon of hope to those that wander the halls of Dota 2 general.

Or not. Only time will tell.

EDIT: well that was fast.
