Kill the Lounge!

[tim atherton]

It may be that many here don't frequent Apug's lounge, so I think it nice to have an area here where all else goes that just can't seem to fit a category.

you mean all the never ending crazy zionist and neo-nazi threads and conspiracy etc.... yep - fun

My impression when the lounge is adverised as an unmoderated, off-topic place is that it's a place for people to excercise restraint and use good judgement and not be
irresponsible or totally offensive - but by the same token, if you are offended by what you see in there, then stay out of that particular thread.

Leave The Lounge alone. To me it's a snapshot for us in Europe of how America is thinking. It also saves me the bother of applying for a passport, I've decided to stay at home.
PETE.

Kill it! And classifieds too! There is nice classifieds section on the APUG and I find it totally adequate. Bring back the spirit of the old forum. This one starts to look like rag-fair - noisy and gaudy.

Keep the Lounge !

I agree with Pete Watkins. Plus - that is what makes this site so much better than any other, as it blends photography and all its technicalities with the rest of the everyday world.

Ah, leave the Lounge alone. It's kinda like the Golf channel on my local cable TV service. It's included in the programming package regardless if I want it or not. Who wants to watch golf on TV? I programmed my remote for my TV to skip over the channel completely. If you don't like the Lounge, cool, but skip over it completely.

Kinda like my account on APUG - I never look at the 35mm Forum, I always ignore it, even though I have 3 Nikons.

If you remove the Lounge, then the off-topic threads will just occur more often in the other sections. I don't understand the problem - I don't read the Lounge threads, so it doesn't matter to me what they contain.

LOL! My sentiments exactly, Pete. Ooops ... I'm already here. Oh well ...

I've never thought of that, but then my mind usually doesn't think that way.

People on this forum are alot more civilized; I don't see a real problem.

... is that it's a place for people to excercise restraint and use good judgement and not be irresponsible or totally offensive...

Andre,

As much as I concur with you... this is asking a LOT of some people!

Cheers
