btw i am not spamming... but u av 2 giv a valid reason y u fink diz forum shud be called wot... and this is my reason:
i jst thought that this forum bein known as "Asian" is rather a racial name bcz of the fact that it excludes all the other races...i.e. the name of this forum sounds like as if it is only for the asians and not for the non-asians.... altho this site does kinda promote non asians to join but the term "asian" seems to only be invitin the asians into this forum...this is because when the non asians see this forum they will think it is only for the asians and therefore it is not suitable for them.... in other words i think if this forums name was changed to summat like the "Multicultural forum" it would invite others from a whole range of cultures.... and it seems quite cool to actually have it multicultural bcz it is more appealing to the non asians then being known as the asian place forum... and also the term multicultural is not racial bcz it invites everyone from a variety of ranges of culture.....
im sorry but i jst had to post this up cos it was stuck in my head all the time since iv joined....and partly cos i invited one of my close frend whoz not asian and he said to me the name of this forum says it all.... he sed to me dat bcz of the name he will not join bcz it is reprimanding and depriving the non asians to join.... i told him it says non asians are welcome...but he told me it is entirely due to the name of the forum and wants nothing to do with it....
(i kno its copy and pastid but i couldnt be asked writin all dat out agen!!)
i lyk da asian place we all used 2 it xxxxxxxxx

lol @ asian invasion!! ha ha !! omg my there was a club called that somewhere... cant rememeber ...
how about Kayz's love shack ;)
2 reps from me to you Playa ;)
You have made very good points, and bananasuit is correct, weve started it and were in it now, but that dosent mean we cant change it. Well the story of this forum started with me, with the old forum 'I' was the one who thought of 'The Asian Place' weve had this name for a very very long time!
Now ive seen other big forums with the term 'Asian' in it hence where i got this idea from, my own website was called 'Kayz Place' hence i got the idea for an 'Asian Place'. So you see now, we have bought the domain and the lot, but i still think its quite trendy having 'The Asian Place' as the header, but we do invite non-asians ofcourse. But your point was non-asians will leave thinking its just an asian forum which your 100% right thats what i thought to.
Now if anybody can think of a new name, which also gives out vibes to asians and non asians then we just may consider changing it, but i still think the theme and the new name should have something more asian, e.g we can call it: 'The Multicultural Desi Place' hence you see ive used the word desi with multicultural.
btw i voted multicultural,

but u c many ppl from other cultures dont no wot the word 'desi' is :|

how bout the Multicultural Desi Crewz Forum
bananasuit
02-11-2005, 17:15
no not crewz :| thats so tacky and cheap like i bought my domain from the market :|
but u c many ppl from other cultures dont no wot the word 'desi' is :|
exactly! now u got a rep too!
See..., they will know multicultural and join possibly on the other hand Asian peeps will know its got a desi/asian vibe to it aswell!
But the e.g. i gave was just a quick one, but if we do change our name we will need big time support getting people on here, but i'd have to see what OS has to say about this. But we need a really really good name seriously having the desi vibe somewhere!

i don't think 'the asian place' is a racist term at all. It just sounds like the forum is mainy here for asian ethnic minoroties, whats wrong with that??? And if peepz of other races wanna blend in, then thats fine too, don't see why the name has to be changed... with this name, it has more of an asian homely vibe to it. You get LOADS of other multicultural forums, so whats wrong with having this one dedicated to mainly asians?

i see thats what i thought to, but i feel divided, but i really am leaning towards more of a multicultural forum, make things bigger, get more people, share peoples exp, religion, country, etc etc, hmmmmm, but i think if we are going to change names we are going to need people, and i havent seen alot of people apply for that promoter job which is a lil dissapointing,

nah keep the asian place if ppl are ignorant enuff to ignore it cos of that they do not deserve to b here, what r u gna do name europe multiculture if more different type of ppl come in, all the asian place means is that it is a place with an asian vibe which is true, nothin else if it were only asian's place then it would be racist and btw to all the non-asians do u guys think this place has made u feel racially discriminated against.

tis already multi-cultural...having a name like 'the asian place' didn't stop bananasuit coming on here (unfortunately). Anyhoo, its good to have an asian place, gives some of us dungars something to do once in a while or all day everyday in some cases (bananasuit)
as undemocratic as it is, fuck the votes, and lets go with what i say :d

THE CONCEPT NOT THE NAME!!!

why do you want it to be multi cultural anwyay??? its an ASIAN place,so it should be dedicated to mainly asians...there are loads of other multicultural forums, so if your so fussed about it, join them.
playa4life55

Mizz Khan... FYI this forum clearly states "a place for asians and non asians" so there4 IT IS multicultural.....and the term asian is rejectin those of tha other ethnic minority groups..... therefore i conclude that the name has to be changed for other non-asians to join....
also i wud lyk to put anova point across 2 mizz khan...why are u so bothered to keep it ONLY asian forum?? bcz a post lyk that clearly determines directly or indirectly that u are racist....and also FYI there are many other asian society's only for asians so why dont u shift from this forum and join those? and trust me u wont be missed!!

You know what let's go to Asia and get them to change the name "Asia" to something more mutlicultural like "Everybodysia".
She's right this is a hangout place aimed at asians but it doesn't mean other people ain't invited.
If you build a multicultural forum the problem is since your trying to attract a wider range of people it's more difficult, I was looking around for an asian place where I could talk to asians bout problems we face.
I could have gone on myspace which has a LOT of asians but it didn't feel appropriate.
Places for forums aimed at ethnical minorities do exist and rather than trying to transform a rather successful forum why don't you find a forum to suit your needs?

I think we should just leave it as it is...It's not racist at all - its jus like having a group and it doesn't say anywhere that its for ASIANS ONLY..
