Lounge Content?

Well crap. I can't believe this is happening. Quite frankly Titus, I hope you reconsider what goes in the lounge according to your user group or it looks like you will have no one left using this board.
Really, think about it. I can totally understand your point about the insurance thing, we really didn't need to know all the details there (unless they were really juicy [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] )but isn't it okay that he just puts it out there to find the right person to talk to and then they could take it to personal emails back and forth??
Some of us, strangely enough, have found friends in the people here at the board and have found that they can chat about other things besides reefing and do-it-yourself projects, there are other topics out there ya know [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]. I think a certain amount of freedom should be allowed in the lounge. After all it is the lounge ya know. Its supposed to be a more relaxed area to talk about whatever. Now I do believe that some restrictions should be placed on what to talk about (as with other boards) but really, shouldn't we be allowed to talk about non reef related stuff? According to your rules, technically Andrew should have really sent out 70+ emails to everyone stating that he was going on vacation, after all that had nothing to do with his aquarium. Shouldn't Darren be contacting Marc directly via email instead of stating to all that he had something for him? If we had it your way the lounge wouldn't even be used. And now it certainly looks like it won't be from the number of people that are exiting the board. Bummer, since things were just getting good. I'll stick around, I'd like to see how this all turns out.
