12. I think there are a few misperceptions about this

Here's what I just posted in another thread:

The "Hide Lounge" function is an option that you will be able to set in your profile. The option to hide the Lounge will be "off" by default (ie. Lounge threads will not be hidden by default), so newbies will still see the Lounge when they come to DU, as will unregistered members who just browse the forums. Lounge threads will only be hidden on the Latest page by DUers who choose to set the option in their profiles.

The point of the upgrade is to improve DUers' personal experience by allowing registered members to customize what they can see on the Latest page. We're starting with the Lounge because a lot of people - including quite a few Lounge folks - have requested the option. However, it's certainly possible that we will extend the function to other forums in the future. Ideally, if the software can handle it, DU could be set up so that DUers could customize exactly what appears on the Latest page - which would mean all Lounge all the time if you so desired. That's a little way off though.

So to reiterate - this isn't an attempt to "ghettoize" the Lounge by any means, it's merely a continuation of what we started with the "Hide Threads" function by providing greater customization choices for registered members.

This was meant entirely in the sense of the South Park denizens running into town square and going "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!"

All in good fun :7

(I really don't care if people see the lounge posts in the latest threads or not, it's a non-event IMNSHO)
