RE: Real talk, Hawkspace should be merged with Gen. Chat

I'm personally ok with a merge if other folks are (note that I can't actually do this merge myself because I stripped myself of admin privileges, but Pinary is slightly more around than usual so getting him to do the thing shouldn't be a problem).
I definitely think Hawkspace was a good thought experiment or somesuch for the forum; I was definitely too uptight about "quality posting" and this has in part helped me chill about banal shit like that (because for real, there's other stuff in the world to be self-righteous about).
Hawkspace being here or there (but not being neither here nor there!) doesn't affect me much, so I'm asking the Hawkspace regulars (or just folks in general who have a particular attachment to the place):
Q. If Gen Chat had the same "quality control" (i.e. none, neither in the forum rules nor in unspoken social contracts) as Hawkspace, would you post in it? Would you post in it if Hawkspace were made no longer available?
Q. If a merge did happen, would you like the name/description of Gen Chat subforum changed to something that less implicitly says "have discussions about Events" and make it more open to freeform posting?

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
