Lock the Lounge (quote, Ching)

^I think the boards would get so much ridiculous spam that we would end up losing some people.

Of course.....It may be worth it. I guess we don't know until we try.

rather than locking the lounge
i dare you to try and stay off the sex talk for a day
no sexual references, anything
i personally think you can't do it
sex has become the number one thing you people talk about on MB

^That's terrible!! Sex, a no.1 subject? *gasp* hehe
If we band every member that spoke sh!t we'd have no members, myself included. We all have our stupid days, and if this place was no fun, why visit?

Ma Cherie · 12-19-2006, 08:56 AM

i stopped most of my sexual comments along time ago

It's actually pretty simple: If you don't like it here LEAVE!!!

Isn't there a way to like close the lounge when the post ratio tips too much in the lounges favour for each member seperately, so that people are forced to post elsewhere? just a thought, probably wouldnt work, i mean i like the idea of being able to post about things off topic from music now and again but only in moderation if it can be helped...

Mr Sensitive · 12-19-2006, 01:09 PM

People should be able to post where they fucking like.

right-track · 12-19-2006, 01:16 PM

Agreed. ^
Providing of course they follow the rules.

The Lounge is an important part of a forum community.
It's one of the reasons why people return here.
It gives members the opportunity to get to know the other members better, while posting on these boards.
MB is not just a message board.
It's what helps to make MB a community...which it is.

Closing the Lounge would be detrimental to MusicBanter.

It`s all about taking responsability.

You want more posts in the music forum , closing the lounge will do f*ck all.
You want people to stay then treat people better & have a bit of respect for them , don`t go around calling them retards, idiots ,you do this and then you wonder why your music posts don`t get any replies.
Don`t get all pissy because someone disagrees with your own high & mighty opinion. There is way too much namecalling & abuse on this forum.And the main forums are suffering for it.
This place is what YOU make it , if it`s going down the sh*tter then maybe some of you should start looking at yourselves rather than pointing the finger all the time.

I've always hated the lounge, that you probably know, but closing it will have a detrimental effect on the "music" sections of this forum. People naturally make affiliations and freindships so they are going to talk and joke. Keeping it in the lounge will leave other sections free for music discussion... well... that the theory.
