I am interested in reading and sometimes participating in threads in the lounge. But I want to read other threads first. And since I read by searching the only way I can prioritize is to exclude the lounge (which I unfortunately have done recently for user interface reasons). So for the search reason I voted for a separate forum. Maybe I should add a button only searching the lounge also.

This discussion is heading in a direction that Alex was fearful might happen and that is "Us vs Them" in trying to make a decision. After a lot of discussion amongst the moderators, we decided to have this poll and get the feel of the members.
1) It is not us vs them, it is us and how we can be sensitive to all members and their desires. 2) It is not silly versus serious, it is about having places that we can do things in the forum that we like to do and having a convenient way to sort them all out. 3) There isn't going to be any moderation of threads to make sure they are either silly or serious. That's up to the members to police for themselves. The moderators are going to be watchful of disrespect and flaming that is out of hand and will step in only in extremely severe and blatant cricumstances. Like they always have. Please try to keep in mind that this is about opening up possibilities and expanding opportunities, rather than being about anger. |

I leave for a few hours and look what happens.
What the heck have I ever done to make people think I'm going to hit them with a stick??? Oh. Wait. Never mind. Let me repeat for the umpteenth time. If I should ever hijack a thread, and someone really wanted to keep it on track, all it takes is a single request. I have broad shoulders and can take a simple smack on the hand. I"m sure that would go for everyone on this board, except for trolls, and those can be dealt with by a mod. Okay, have your serious discussions, describe the threads however you want. The decision has been made, and all thats left is the implementation. Now, I can't wait to see some of these topics. |

Sure it is. If a topic isn't allowed to get off topic to begin with........that is, the first time someone posted 'off topic' and it was asked that people stay "on topic" the topic would stay "on topic" thruout.......(honest, that made sense in my head)

I could still ask for it to go back on topic. It might be harder for that to be achieved, admittedly, but one could still ask

However, the deed is done, as they say, and we all need to move on and not waste any more time arguing. Lets just look forward to some of these conversations that are sure to evolve....... |

I'd like to offer that I like the idea of Option #1. Adding a forum for somewhat more serious stuff seems like a very useful notion.

The poll has ended. Of those who voted, almost 75% were in favor of adding a new forum while leaving the lounge intact as it is. We will work on adding the new forum today. Thanks again everyone for participating in the poll. Your feedback is what matters most to us! |
