[sniffa]

Poll question: how you feeLing about the Lounge LateLy?

it's hard to venture beyond the Lounge sometimes, but how do you feeL about the Lounge?

[Guaranteed]

1. You know, there just aren't enough sex threads to keep

a perv like me satisfied.

25. definitely! More Cowbell!

[no name no slogan]

27. I mean, we don't have a lot of threads that feature the cowbell

(n/t)

[terrya]

15. Too many polls, sometimes.

Other than that, it's the Garden of Eden. :-)

[Allenberg]

16. On a related note

And while my opinion doesn't mean that much considering I've only been here a couple months or so, I find this place a nice haven of people who think like me, and doesn't take itself all too seriously.

[fluffernutter]

[Skittles]

87. LOL

too funny, I was just going over that list

http://www.geekspeakweekly.com/cowbell/data_search.pl

[XNASA]

26. I liked it better before the DU Groups feature was added.

The DU Groups robbed the Lounge of some of it's variety.

[Susang]

33. I agree

Now it seems too fragmented and I only seem to see two kinds of posts. Now that one of those kinds is completely banned, the Lounge seems destined for homogeny.

[XNASA]

34. You agree with me?

WTF :shrug:

[Susang]

60. Now that wasn't very nice

Was it? ;-)

[XNASA]

64. Again.........we agree!!

No it wasn't. Sorry. :cry:

[Susang]

88. I am I really that bad?

:scared:

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. I'm with you and Susang on that one

We lost some of the chaos of the lounge being about everything. I'm missing the lounge cooking threads, sci-fi threads, music threads, etc.

In one way, it's nice to have them in their own spaces.

But in another way, the Lounge was the place where the conversations went everywhere and anywhere, like they do when hanging out with friends.

[Susang]

94. I do kind of miss the chaos

I think the individual groups resulted in the Lounge losing a lot of it's distinct character. Lately, its seemed a little one note and truthfully, I think rather dull.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

56. I agree except that now if a GOOD conversation about any of those group

items takes place, it stands a chance of surviving and not getting kicked into the archives by obsessive, compulsive outbursts by a handful of jackasses that just don't know when to quit.

[Beware the Beast Man]

30. It feels as if the same people, over and over ad nauseam,

drag us into their TMI personal lives, no matter what. It's like a scab that never heals. At least, that's how I see it.

[the Princess]

37. *snort*

:boring:

[Beware the Beast Man]

41. Guilty conscience?

Perhaps I was referring to myself.

[the Princess]

43. No not at all

I don't believe in guilt! :)

Perhaps you are seeing things where they were never intended??? Could be. :)

[Beware the Beast Man]

44. About 2 dozen DUers and I are done giving you the attention you crave.

[DrWeird]

48. You're right, they dragged you into clicking on that thread.

Their powers of seduction are irresistable. Maybe they're witches.

[Beware the Beast Man]

50. And you are...

:shrug:

I get all the attention I need from CO Liberal. Thank you very much.

LOLOL

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

62. Yeah - that shows

:eyes:

[the Princess]

65. Jealous?

LOL

or just lonely?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

71. If that's not a passive agressive attack I don't know what one is

[the Princess]

75. You don't know what one is honey!

:)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

82. You're not coming off as "cute"

[the Princess]

89. I'm not trying to be cute

and you?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

95. Then you were attacking me. "lonely"?

What exactly did you mean by that?

[Beware the Beast Man]

80. Watch it Chavez, you might blow your chances with Her Highness

58. 25 people out of what? 62,000

That's pretty good odds.

[StopTheMorans]

61. fyi, there aren't 62,000 people here

tombstones, inactive members, etc...

[the Princess]

70. picky picky picky

:P

[StopTheMorans]

81. well hey, if you want to just go making things up, that's cool, but don't

expect people to trust anything that you say if you do...

[the Princess]

86. What exactly is your problem?

On the front page it says 62 some thousand menbers. OK so accuse them of making things up.

[CO Liberal]

69. Then By All Means....

...add me to your "Ignore" list. Please.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

74. Why should people have to do that?

[the Princess]

77. Because you're the one complaining

and that is EXACTLY why the ignore feature is there.

LOL

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

85. But you're the one incurring the ire of the Admins and Mods not I

[DrWeird]

92. What are you? A hall monitor?

If you don't like what people talk about in the lounge put them on ignore or just plain ignore.

Quit with the little childish "ooo, I'm gonna go tell on you" bullshit games.

[the Princess]

93. See that's funny

I'm being held accountable for every sex thread ever posted here

[tjdee]

40. Does TMI mean "Totally Marvelous Intimate" ??

:silly:

But what does it mean really?

[Beware the Beast Man]

42. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Too much information.

[no name no slogan]

46. Have to agree

There's a reason why they put doors on bedrooms, or why people have "private" lives.

Believe it or not, not everybody is as interested in your sexual proclivities as you may think. :think:

[DrWeird]

49. Begs the question.

If you're not interested, why'd you read it?

[the Princess]

55. Hey now stop that

You can't make people take personal responsability - that's just not right.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

90. Did you really just say that?????

Holy shit if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black!

:wow:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

66. Oh Please

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

31. It used to be better

The quality of humor has gotten less funny in the past year.

[arcane1]

39. too many bloody copycats

sometimes it makes the Latest page impossible

[StopTheMorans]

45. too many hoodrats, I agree

[arcane1]

47. dammit!

:spank:

[StopTheMorans]

52. what's this about the hoover dam?

[arcane1]

54. what does J Edgar Hoover have to do with anything?

:shrug:

[StopTheMorans]

57. you're cross-dressing now?

:shrug:

[arcane1]

59. don't you mean salad dressing?

I prefer fig leaves, personally

[StopTheMorans]

63. what's this about fran drescher? i can't stand the nanny!

:grr:

[arcane1]

68. Mammy?

[StopTheMorans]

72. no thanks, i don't eat green eggs and hammy

[arcane1]

[StopTheMorans]

83. no i don't want any yammy's with my lamby!

[Guaranteed]

78. You guys need to stop talking about RagingInMiami behind

his back!

[Worst Username Ever]

67. Not enough napoleon dynamite threads

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

73. Everything is great in moderation. It would be nice if a couple people on

this thread understood that.

When copycats happen...about the first 5 are funny and even witty...once we get to 20 or thirty, it becomes more of a pack mentality where a small herd of people make the lounge a miserable experience for everyone else while an endless loop runs its course..

[DrWeird]

79. I think George Burns said it best.

"Everything in moderation. Including moderation."

[StopTheMorans]

91. hi NSMA. might just be a guilty conscience here, but most copycats

get between 0-3 replies, and then quickly die. i would guess that less than 1 in 5 actually sticks around for more than a few minutes. valid points all, but i still think they're amusing:D

[BigMcLargehuge]

96. locked

There is no need for this argument to continue. Everyone count to ten and take a deep breath.
