Default Re: Why the Lounge is Special.........

People should mostly concentrate on posting things that make for interesting discussions. Controversy may be rancorous, but it isn't necessarily very interesting at all. A lot of stuff that's "controversial" is only so among numbskulls or people incapable to coming to reasoned conclusions on their own. It's often dull and worth virtually an automatic pass. I'd rather see something interesting than merely controversial any day.

Letting the forum take its own shape, acquire its own fitting speed, and reinforce those qualities naturally seems cool to me. I don't care how many topics there are or how fast they come, as long as they are interesting and civil. No sense trying to "force" what makes this forum good. That might just trivialize it or make it seem mechanical.

Yeah but... it gets lonely in here at night. No one posting but me (listening to my annoying owl outside, all by my lonesome) you know how lonely that is? IT'S ENOUGH TO DRIVE A GIRL INSANE!! And OOT has lost its endearing charm to me. It would be cool if we could step up the traffic in this forum a tiny little bit so someone could shoot the [censored] with me.

i can respect this point of view.

I guess I just see this forum as having more potential. I think it could handle a few more threads a day and I'd love to see some of you out there starting a few. We have some really smart people who venture into this forum to read it. I think it would be cool if these same people would occasionally start some threads. I get bored and want to read stuff.
