Speaking as a Player..
I see no need to add an additional room to the Modern Setting. If you removed the words "Night Club" and replaced it with "Club" you'd get precisely what your seeking to accomplish.
Computer terminals, we have those. Coffee, we have that. Fruit juices and bottle water, Check. Clean, non-smoking environment.. yep. Ages 16 and over, check.
The modern setting does not generate enough traffic at this time, you even stated so, to justify the additon of another room. All this does is create another splinter in the current setting, and divides a small player base into even smaller groups.
Add to this the small number of dedicated Magi, and there's simply not enough man power to have to moderate another room, especially given the low traffic already present. Having to split attention means that all the other areas suffer a loss of notice.. or as the phrase goes, spreading themselves too thin.
Anyone looking for something outside what is offered by the settings that ISRP offers, is free to create their own background and genre in Ahoy Adventure and Carpe Diem. These rooms exist for people who want to Role Play something that ISRP may not offer, without the need to create masses of additional rooms.
Anyone can make a suggestion, so long as it's done creatively I would think. This statement however makes it seem like the Magi are doing something wrong, just because they are in disagreement with the idea. When really, they are basing their judgements on the current room and the current amount of interest it generates.
It's basically been implied that the current TMP setting is undesireable, and thus this idea would be somehow "Better" than what is in place. However, what is in place is pretty much -exactly- what is being promoted. A few changes of words here and there, and it's actually the same thing that's in place.
Also in order to propose a new or change to setting, there honestly should be a large demand from the playerbase that a change or new room is needed. There has to be the traffic and interest enough to justify the adjustments required. Things can not and do not happen overnight, and as such there has to be basis and foundation for adjustments to be made.

"Which is great in all but its why I suggested a new little room. It would be the same setting and everything but give a refreshing feel to the whole TMP's modern setting. As it sits only a handful of players even attend it. Occasionally you can catch at the most, five to eight characters in there."

"And aren't suggestions for new settings OR setting changes open for anyone to make?"
