Dan Dixon, Why?

Why did you change the name of Off Topic? It sounds silly.

It sounds more wide, even though pretty much anything could also be put into off-topic. But now anything can certainly be put into everything.

I don't like it.
It's always good to get a feeling of people's opinions, like in a poll, but while the discussion is indeed interesting and exciting, I just don't think we're getting so far without arguments. :P
Why do(n't) you like it? :P

I don't like it because it sounds weird. I liked Off Topic before.

I changed it because I think that "Everything Else" sounds more inclusive and less 'wrong' than "Off Topic".

How is it more inclusive? It's exclusive now.

Because "off" could be inferred to mean wrong or bad.

I don't understand how "Everything Else" is exclusive.

Off doesn't mean something bad. How about you change it back? I don't like it.

I actually like it. It sounds... Interesting. And yeah, sounds like you can actually put more stuff here. But, one question, exactly why did you change it?
