The lounge fits a very specific purpose. It's an outlet for side conversations and other things to happen that would end up happening regardless. When you have a conversation even if it starts out being about music. Conversations are fluid and will stray into other things/discussions. If we take away the lounge, sure there will be more discussions going on in the music area but that doesn't mean it's going to be music-related. Also, there is going to be so many more posts that need to be deleted and warnings given out for going off-topic when people are just trying to co-exist and have a conversation.

Why are people so anti-conversation?

The reason there isn't much music discussions going on is because people don't feel like talking about music 100% of the time when they log on. Sure, they may make a few posts in that area but I guess you guys just want people to log off after they talk about what little music they do. Also, people that have been here for a long time know that when you post a thread about what you are interested in or into. Majority of the time you get little to no recognition about said artist/band. We all have different tastes so when threads are focused on a specific band/artist you are into at the moment it might not get many posts because other people don't feel the same way you do about that particular artist.
