A Real Place

Imagine a place that's like the Internet but Real. Electronic Signs above tables show what's being discussed. The forum is divided into Subject zones by lighting tables different colors. The overall look is futuristic but the feel is friendly and intimate - like a cafe. A large display gives an overview of the whole forum and shows what's being discussed at every table. Each table has a computer which records discussion threads as Blog or Audio. You can set the screen to display a fire to sit around... or water... or a setting-sun.
