Lounge threads serve absolutely no purpose to this community except to post pad. If anything, they fracture the community. Omni (lite) used to be the place people went to shoot the breeze, and now it's happening in each individual forum with a lounge thread. They have turned into private clubs with thousands of posts in them.

I never would have met two very close friends had it not been for Omni because I never visit the forums they frequent.

I wonder why the mods would want such threads to exist in their forums.

FWIW - I have yet to speak to a person who likes lounge threads. Most feel the same as I do about them. Seems the only people supporting them are those who are active participants.
