I’m a big fan of inside jokes / running gags, but I must admit I am not very fond of “taking seriously” either. It’s unwelcoming to newcomers (huh, there’s some inside joke going on which I don’t get?), and it usually does not describe very well the actual topic of the discussion. In particular, “taking … seriously” to me often sounds like the kind of title I would come up with five minutes before leaving the office when my brain is dead and I’m running out of time, which does not do justice to the often very deep and insightful discussions hiding behind these titles.
