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.

Go to User CP...edit options...number of posts per page and set it to 40. Then you only would have had to read 7 pages Wink

You and cd must spend a lot of time there as guests to know so much about it all the time. You should register and drop in once in a while. It isn't like selling your soul to the devil or anything Dontknow

LMAO I hear things...but I have looked in a few times...once when I did I saw a thread about lurkers...funny but some were telling people to come in and one of your mods...yelled to STAY OUT or GO AWAY...one of the two..but it got the message across. And I do think that it's difficult to stay active in too many places...and I prefer it here. But, thanks for the invite.

I really don't know why you have such a gripe about CD...he has been trying to be polite and make logical and helpful comments to people who seem to have a hard on for him. Not exactly a friendly kind of environment if you ask me.

OK, just did a quick search -- I'm pretty sure the lounge has always been going downhill:

March 2007: The Lounge is no longer the fun place it once was

December 2006: We're nearing the end of a forum cycle

September 2006: The Lounge has recently filled up with people who are too immature

August 2006: The Lounge has changed in the last 1-2 months

October 2005: I used to enjoy the site but now there are too many kids posting nonsense

August 2004: Recently there has been too much sarcasm, fighting, and self-gratification

I couldn't find a single thread that said "wow, the lounge sure is better than it used to be."
