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.

That's why some people choose not to post as often as they used to.

Ok...but the thing is...

Is the Lounge not the same because we've all just turned into asshats? (I'm lookin' at you Cav)

Or is the Lounge not the same because most of the people who claim to dislike the Lounge and it's people now have moved on and don't post here anymore?

Or is the Lounge not the same because VQ hasn't made a hairy toe comment about me in the past week?

The Lounge is what the members make it. Unfortunately when the numbers grow to such a huge group the ones who seek the most attention are the ones who set the patterns. I've told other people who got upset here in the past that they didn't have thick enough skin to survive the Lounge. It took me quite a while to realize my own skin wasn't quite as thick as I thought.

True. You also can't take things to personal. You'll just end up getting upset over nothing. You can't make everyone happy, thats just the way it is.

Plus, I think people get real ballsy when they are sitting behind the comfort of thier monitor. That sh!t wouldn't fly if they were sitting face to face with ya.
