LOL! In case any of you missed it somehow, there is an uproar going on about what posts should be allowed where. A lot of solutions mentioned simply dumping perceived ne'er do wells into the lounge. Then I spied this beauty from @Will Stewart that wisely shut down that idea:

"The idea that all non-sports discussions should be on the Lounge *sounds* like a good idea, but what most people who don’t frequent the Lounge don’t realize is that it has its own weird, deep culture that is not welcoming to non-regulars. (Actually, I think I just described every message board on the Internet.)

Bluntly put, if posters who are used to posting on the Subscriber board are told to go over to the Lounge instead, and they’ve never been over there, many of them will be shocked and off-put by the volume of snarkiness, inside jokes, and mocking that goes on over there. Subscribers would go over looking for a serious discussion on a topic, and when you do that on the Lounge, 90% of the time, you don’t get what you’re looking for, and it winds up just being irritating.

The Lounge is not a solution to this, folks. People pay a subscriber fee to have reasonable discussions and be treated with respect (go ahead, laugh). That doesn’t happen on the Lounge, which is a free board.

Sorry, Lounge Lizards, but it’s true. I no longer go over to the Lounge to ask serious advice on a serious question. I stick to the Subscribers-Only board. If I want to have a fun time on a topic not associated with sports, that’s when I go to the Lounge."

Go over to the Lounge to ask serious advice on a serious question? As always...Wise policy, I say.
