Should we give this room a name? Other sites' general chat rooms seem to have cute names.
ani.yodeya, anyone?

Stack Overflow Blog: Don’t Be Afraid to Use The Science
Posted by Jeff Atwood on December 7th, 2011

I saw an interesting Battlefield 3 question on gaming a few weeks ago.

So a Joel on Software Off-Topic discussion group was created for all of That Stuff. Joel’s forums are still going strong!
