It is not Silly v Serious, but just a defining of areas. The Lounge has become, for better or worse, a place where jokes and pranks are the norm. A Club, or Salon, or Drawing Room, or Whatever, would be the place that is more about on topic talk.
I can understand the reluctance to jump into the Lounge by Newcomers. It was daunting to me when I started, as well. I would have to say, however, that that is the situation with any area of any forum. I really do see the utility of expansion of the Forum. Not because I want to be exclusive and divisive, but because I like to see lots of options for everyone.

Well said .... and coming from a person of major silliness, its is also well thought out.

No, truly Wolfie, you didn't come anywhere close to expressing that.
I still think a lock-step on topic area would be a place I would avoid. Sometimes I read a thread title and it looks interesting, but then you read the original post and .... not so much.
So, rather than wade through a bunch of potentially boring crap, I will bow out of it. Not to make it an "us vs. them" thing ... as much as it is an "interesting vs. deadly dull" sort of thing for me.
