Christ, it doesn't matter to me if the lounge used to be this great place full of wonderful members and golden threads. All that matters to me, and most others who actually post here, is that we have fun.

Who comes here to post crap?? Some people might not want to read "crap".
Of course there is the new talk bar thing, but it seems to me that that was driven by the rubbish threads rather than anyone asking for it.
No, the lounge hasn't always been good, but it has got worse, and it's people that "just want to have fun" that has made it worse.
I believe this board was originally set up to help people using K-Lite, and the lounge sort of developed from that..but the same people that used the lounge gave something back to the rest of the board, that isn't happening now...stupid threads, multiple accounts and spamming only slow things down for the majority of users.[/b]
Sounds familiar...........

I thought it was a good idea (Talk Club) as well but I also thought that:
1. There were only a small number of people "screwing" the Lounge up anyway.
2. The Lounge should have been moderated like it used to. Allowing thread hijacking and ubiquitous spamming wasn't tolerated before.........so what now it is ......in the Lounge. That's still weird but I'll buy it since there is this Talk Club.
What it comes down to is that a small number of members hijacked the Lounge and admin gave in and gave it to them.
Very interesting.

Who gives a shit. It's still as boring as Lounge. Definitely yawn material.[/quote]
The funny thing is that the Lounge wasn't always that way.
Now it's mainly an adolescent spam world (now there's 2 Paris Hilton Porno Threads )
I do find a good topic every blue moon though.

The board does slow down..of course it does, maybe not so as you would notice but of course it does.Originally posted by mrcall1969+12 March 2004 - 04:11--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (mrcall1969 @ 12 March 2004 - 04:11)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by Withcheese@12 March 2004 - 03:57

As far as I'm aware people can come here and post what they want this is The Lounge...now I can agree that the multiple usernames got a little out of hand (something that was addressed tonight) but if most people want to post less sensible topics then who are you to say otherwise?
If people want to start silly topics then who are you to say that is wrong? Should we perhaps censor the board so it fits into your views on what we should be doing?
If some people don't want to read "crap" then don't feckin' read it...is it that hard?
The board has been given a "sensible" area, a brilliant move in my view, if you people who want things to be less spammy don't use it is that our fault?
You've missed my point...every thread on this board slows it down a little..the people in the past gave something back to the board (even the spammers).
Now that isn't happening. It seems to me, and I don't really mind if anyone agrees with me is that some people would be better off using MSN to have a conversation rather than having conversations in almost every thread.
Though we obviously don't agree I could see where you were coming from with your other posts and took what you had to say on board.
But that is complete nonsense...the board doesn't slow down because of the amount of threads that are made...the board runs at the same speed it always did.
Of course people have conversations within the threads and go off-topic, and from these we have chats on MSN and other apps. The most popular thread(s) in this lounge with nearly 7,000 posts has been boab's chatbar...with it's one aim of giving a place for people to chat.
When I came to this board there was the Beautiful Day thread, a behemoth of a thread devoted to this. It's obvious, to me, that this is what people want to use the lounge for.
Couldn't agree more.that is what makes this board the best on the net
Yup BB's chat bar is excellent, there's lots of conversation and jokes etc, but it's not that long ago that a memeber of this board was flamed by a lot of people (including myself) for taking over every thread and having a conversation/joke with it.
I try and not be hypocrittical and this seems to be exactly the same as was happening then.
I hear what you're saying, but think of the rest of the people that use the full board and not just of having a few laughs with your 'mates' [/b][/quote]
Pretty big quote isnt it ?

Funny crap is good crap
There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either.
And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.
