Re: Describe the Lounge
 

I'm pretty sure The Lounge strikes me as the type of place where the highest ratio of posts are "about the ponderings of life."

EDF strikes me as a forum that is useful for discussions about the actions of life. It's got the cooking. It's got what to do with etiquette, how to handle laundry, dates, etc.

The Lounge has always struck me as a place that sort of transcends daily life and asks what it's about from a higher level.

That isn't to say the Lounge is purely philosophical by any means. But I think the critical thinking is, in general, higher in here than it is over at EDF--though EDF is really valuable in my mind...and I enjoy it.

Re: Describe the Lounge
 

So far, I've liked these descriptions, but in the interest of practicality, I'd like to see some efforts put towards specifically hammering out a new forum summary that is ideally:

1. Brief
2. Accurate
3. Enticing to potential posters
4. Not derogatory towards other forums (as much as I did like SL72's summaries [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
5. Different from the other community forums

That's roughly the order of importance.

Re: Describe the Lounge
 

TL;DR: Topics that enhance and enrich the quality of our lives; from beers to box offices and beyond.

Re: Describe the Lounge
 

I think of this place as OOT for people over the age of thirty (or who behave as if they are).

That the discourse is generally polite and of a higher caliber of effort is a big part of the draw.

The Lounge:

A not brief, accurate forum about enticements of potential interests and differences.

Re: Describe the Lounge
 

*from brews to box offices and beyond. Relax in a respectful, safe for work setting.

Re: Describe the Lounge
 

I think in order to really stick out from the other forums we should allow NSFW pics. Tasteful ones of course, not tubgirl or anything. Then rename the forum Books, Beer, and Boobies. Or "B Cubed", if you will.

If you're going to allow boobie pics, I have another image for my Jessica Rabbit entry.
