This thread has certainly mushroomed in a short space of time, and become often heated - and its location is in Announcements not Conservatory! There remain pros & cons as to why the Conservatory came into being and was then closed. At least a couple of good informative discussions developed, the choice of windows/ubuntu being one I can recall (though some have suggested that became acrimonious - but is that because of, or in spite of, the Conservatory?).
However I do not, really, appreciate what difference it will now make to move the Conservatory discussions into the Lounge, albeit with a 'new' tag (much as was proposed b.c.). Perhaps the discussions in the Conservatory area were just an example of how MobileRead membership is increasing, with a greater cross-section of humanity in a small area.....
The dark, and occasionally uncomfortable, subjects that were appearing in the Conservatory, will now appear into the Lounge....?
A Lounge where the number of threads, on a screen-full, may become more difficult to wade through. At least with the two separate areas one could manage ones' time.
I do appreciate Ea's concerns that a discussion took place to introduce the Conservatory, but a similar opportunity was not offered before its demise. I sincerely hope that she does not depart .....
However, Moderators and especially Alex, have a difficult enough task managing the site as a whole and one must bow to the decisions made on behalf of MobileRead and it's members - no matter how unpalatable they may taste.
We should really all accept and support this decision and move onto what we all dearly love .... books and their readers
