The lounge really has gone downhill.

What is with the new people constantly going into threads and cutting people down? Why are we putting down other's screennames? why are we so goshdarn rude? This site has gotten out of control and mods really need to take control of the rudeness of it. This site used to be such a nice place to hang out. Now you have to stand up for yourself in every thread you make because the asshats come along and either hijack the thread or will start being, well, asshats. And people wonder why we start going to other forums?

We have the mod alert feature for a reason, people. Use it. There are eleven of us, and thousands of all of you. We can't read every post.

The Lounge is what you make it. You have the control to help make it better. You want a better Lounge? Be pro-active and do something about it.

I definately think that there was kind of a "magic" here a year ago that just isn't here for me anymore.

Those were good, silly, fun and crazy times. Sadwalk

Seriously though...and I might be wrong...but isn't that because a lot of the people who have helped make this board fun now post mostly on the other site? I don't care where people post...but when people say "The Lounge isn't the Same anymore"..I want to say "Of Course it's not...a lot of people have left us. We can't do anything about that." Maybe I take things too seriously (lol) but I sometimes feel like they're saying "The Lounge Was fun...but now that it's only you and some other people..it's not good enough anymore."

Wow...overuse of quotes there laugh out loud

I'd bet 10-to-1 there were people who felt the same way you are now at the exact time the magic was here for you.
