Make the lounge thread stick and revise the title a bit. That should do the trick. If someone comes in and opens an OT thread, move it into the EB thread. Nothing seriously offensive or highly active happens here anyway and our good mod should be able to handle the workload.

Let me put it like this: I have moved about 10 posts and deleted a couple the weeks I have been moderating, so our forum will not be quite different.
Anyone have a good name for our possible sticky thread?

I agree with aidanc here, there is no point fixing what isn't broken. Some other forums seem outright boring compared to the EB forum because of very strict moderation. As happy as I am to have one (and Tommy777 is a good choice), I have also been very happy how well we got along without a moderator.
Therefore, make the loungethread sticky if the need is there. There is absolutely no reason to create a new thread, that would be kind of insulting to all the posters of the old thread. Instead change the name if so must be to something like "The EB lounge thread for all your off topic needs"...
Basically what I am saying is, I would like to see the moderation to be done very, very sparsely. I have very rarely come across posts that I found needed moderation in this forum. Don't worry if it goes a bit off topic, that is the charm of our forum. Let's keep it that way!

"The Eurobonus OT Lounge Thread" and make it sticky.
Other FT forums also have "ot lounge" threads, so the idea will not be alien to most FT regulars.
I'd also suggest a lounge meet-up thread. I saw ksaw mentioning he was in ARN yesterday in the ot lounge thread.
Putting a meet-up thread after the faq, and then the ot lounge thread will avoid confusion about the "lounge" aspect of the ot thread. I believe the order and names of the sticky will help alot.
Otherwise, just business as usual.

OK, I have read through the tread and I have decided to sticky the Eurobonus Lounge Thread.
Let's try to keep the other threads a little more on topic so people can find answers when searching a little easier please
Also, when I feel like subjects are going a lot off topic, I will move the posts to the EB Lounge Thread
Thank you all!
