    In the sensorium, the "Quote Game" has gone to 10 topics. So number 10 was named "The Quote Game X". That means whenever it gets to, say 17, it will be "The Quote Game XVII" instaed of "The Quote Game 17". Just my opinion, but I think the roman numeral version looks ugly. Not too late to go back to arabic numbering.

    PS: Not sure if the comment shold be here or in the Sensoruim.

    PPS: Of course, this issue is of major importance to the future of all mankind! :rolleyes:

    Hhhmmm I don't think roman or arabic numering truly matters to me. And beside it's Indian numering not arabic, the Arabs adapeted their from Indian's and European from Arabic's. :p

    Yeah...but then you have to realize that not everyone knows or can remember Roman Numerals. I can't remember what happened 5 minutes ago...and you expect me to remember something I learned 10 years ago? :eek:

    I think it's fine the way it is. :thumb: :rolling:

    You should be talking to the person who named it like that. And yes, Roman numerals aren't really a good idea in this case.
