Title: Forum name changes.
Post by: Kobuk on March 01, 2013, 11:19:38 am
Just a small staff note to let members know that after staff discussion, we decided to change the names of a few forums. ;) The following are the changes that were made:

Furry fiction -->  Furry Storytelling

Artwork Techniques -->  Artwork Techniques & Tutorials

Singers' Groove -->  Singing, Music & Dance

That's good.  I was kind of worried there for a second that you didn't have a comma between the "music" and the "&" (although it is still correct to not have a comma, I personally think it looks better with the comma aesthetically), but it turns out you put in the comma in the actual forum name change.  :D  

On another note, when you capitalized the forum names here, I thought of this thread (http://forums.furtopia.org/index.php?topic=45694.0) (although in the actual forum they are not capitalized).

On college I was actually marked wrong for putting commas before the word "and" or the "&" when listing things. Apparently in most the writing world it's considered incorrect now.
Which was hard for me because it was REQUIRED when I was in high school. -_-
Too many years went by between high school and college, so much changed. lol.
