"Generic" or "General"?

[RhythmSpring]

I think calling the parts of the forum that are about anything relating to a certain subject "general" would be more accurate and clear than "generic," which reminds me of generic prescription drugs or something vaguely common about something. Just a suggestion.

I agree “general” would fit better in this context, generic would be a place where all the topics end up that have been covered in one way or another and have nothing new, or fit every other internet forum.

 

[The Traveler]

All 'Generic' forum names have been renamed to 'General'.

"Ah, I see you have given yourself ranks yet... 'Major Woody' and 'Private Parts'?! You!! Wait till I get you little punks!"


Kind regards,

That's a bit of a generic approach

 

[Varallo]

I would say I generally don’t like the generic. I like an unusual specific

 

[Voidmatrix]

Generic: characteristic of or relating to a class or group of things; not specific.

General:
1.
affecting or concerning all or most people, places, or things; widespread.

2.
considering or including the main features or elements of something, and disregarding exceptions; overall.
