The lounge is losing its character.
Since the trolls try to run their post counts up in the Lounge to make it up to 1k so that the can achieve the enviable position as an Official Undercover Disruptor. Consequentially the lounge just moves too fast for good dialog.

Does anyone think we could do a Lounge II dedicated to increasing post counts only?

3. The Lounge has character?
I specifically come here to lose moral rectitude, not find it. :P

6. It has become a strobe light on busy nights.
Fun threads drop so fast that good dialog doesn't get to develop.

7. That's where the "My Posts" feature comes in.
It's still possible for good dialog to develop.

10. You're right.
But when an original post drops in 5 to 10 minutes there may not be opportunity for any good dialog.

There may be no solution, but it is my observation.

9. Easy to remedy...When you come to the lounge
click on page 6 aand work backwards to page 1..:)

I have always done that.. Even in the other forums.. I start at the bottom and end up reading LBN last :)

11. The lounge is where I go to find...
Similar, like-minded, smart, funny people after reading all the serious things, posting a couple of things about it, and try not to cry because of all the horrible sh*t going on in this world.

I love this place. :loveya:

18. Good point, but they aren't as much fun.
Change is bad. Things should always stay the same so that I don't have to adapt.

26. Hasn't been the same since they banned the "Sex Threads"....
"If you guys wanna talk smutty, there's plenty of OTHER places on the internet..."

Yeah, but those places are infested with PERVERTS!

So now we have to put up with Rove volunteers trying to build "cred" before they off-load in GD...
