People post an inordinate amount of shite in the 'word games' subsection. I never even knew it was there.
Threads like 'one word story' and 'count to infinity' and 'what are you eating' are alive and well and full of complete and utter fuckspastics.
There was some mild controversy a few years ago*, the lounge being swarmed with mong-a-longs posting those threads to pad their post counts. The lounge resembled the BT section briefly, until JP objected. Some modulating monkey came up with the idea of disabling post count in the lounge, and this was implemented, albeit for about five internets seconds (three or four generations in real life terms). Legitimate lounge bastards didn't see why their posts shouldn't be counted as they found word games the domain of dicks and Boab, and after much harrumphing, lounge post count was reinstated to muffled applause. Word games was relegated to a blasted subsection and everyone went about their business, not quite sure if they'd dreamt the whole debacle.
*Subject to dream.
