The question is "why don't I go to EDF or OOT instead?

EDF is to snobbish in it's exclusivity, for something so uptight about who can and cannot post, the subject material is not interesting for the most part.

OOT is.... I don't know.

The Lounge is a slower paced type of place, where people are more cerebral and thoughtful about what threads to post and what to respond with. I find it interesting that there is a sort of self-imposed content filter that works wonderful, like everyone is keeping each other in check about not creating too much noise, but that is unsaid. Unlike EDF, we are all free to start a new thread whenever we wish, yet, no one seems to start a thread more often than once every two weeks. I guess it is more competitive here. That's the best I could describe it: that there is a sort of competition of thought, but in a friendly way of coarse.
