The subject of this thread is not written in jest. I haven't been to the Lounge in a couple of days, and there is quite a lot of entertaining and/or interesting material here. Or maybe I'm just delirious right now. No, that surely cannot be. Oh, how great the Lounge is, let me sing her praises. . .

[Twilly Spree]

The lounge is good these days. It has it's ups and downs but I find myself coming back every once in a while

[sugar_coated]

All things in life have their ups and downs.

"Oh Lounge" - a musical tribute

Oh Lounge Oh Lounge in our digital hearts you dwell
Oh Lounge Oh Lounge making our days a little less like hell
In our depression, sadness and grief
You make us forget like an autumn leaf
You are there to soothe us with your inane chatter and opinions which will never matter

Oh Lounge Oh Lounge
Your brand of comedy is rare
Sometimes cruel and unusual to spare
Oh Lounge Oh Lounge
You hold many within your walls
From baseball nutjobs to regulation nazis to plain old guys we just can't help to wdlove.

Oh Lounge Oh Lounge
Hold us together this day
Oh Lounge Oh Lounge
'tis you who had made time killing an art
So hold us strong, wise, evil or stupid
may we never part.

[Big Mac]

WOW! Magnificent. Did you just author that on the spur of the moment?

[ManOfSteal]

If you miss a few days of the Lounge, just catch-up by watching the reality TV show...

Tales from 'da Lounge: Season 1

It airs at 4:14 AM during the normal "database burp" so you don't miss anything anyway.

[Sealobo]

Teh Lounge was better 3 years ago.

It sucked major 8alls about a year ago due to various new dumbass members. but it's now getting better.

Uh huh

[chris v]

The Halcion days of 2001-03 are never coming back (R.I.P. chris_h ) but we seemed to have turned the corner from the +1-fest of early 2004. Flamage seems to be settling down a bit, too.

[turtle777]

Bah. The Lounge sucks. That's why I keep coming back.

According to your public profile your continuous presence here stems from your long term addiction to MacNN.

Nice job fitting halcion into conversation. I likey.
The lounge is like visiting daily with a hundred close friends. Except I don't have friends. At least not after the voices started up again.

The various incarnations of John Smith?

I'd agree though, it has gotten better. Cody Dawg, manofsteal, mindfad, fulcrum pilot, d4nth3m4n, xeo, paully dub, makki, and eug wanker are cool, just to name a few...

John Smith is needed in this community, I don't know why, but without John Smiths the world would collapse.

[paully dub]

psst... dan, xeo just locked your topic.

all the cool threads, and posters that turned me onto the place a couple years ago are long gone.

Plus I get tired of the no nudity, no cursing, no derailing, wrong thread stuff. I need to be obscene, god dammit!!!

the lounge is the pinnacle of the NN. without it, it would all be dumb, should I upgrade to x.x.x threads.

Where? Porn is not allowed within the 'NN Forums!

[d4nth3m4n]

ugh, lock.

party moved.

k, now where were we? oh yeah, the lounge has a lot going on, sometimes i open up about 6 tabs of thread listings if it's been a while and just sit back a read.

man, to think of the useless knowledge that i have gained in the last 15 months.

*ponders if the fact that yours truly was a new dumbass member about a year ago*

*decides it is*


But yes, the Lounge is in a good phase - very little bickering lately

[andreas_g4]

IIRC I joined MacNN forums some years ago due to some technical questions. I didn't recognize the lounge at all in the beginning.

Although I don't have that connection that those well known members seem to have, I now enjoy reading here and posting every now and then something more or less senseless. Besides that, I'm imroving my english skills mostly here…

goMacNN!

[historylme]

I makes me at least want to proof read that #%#^ I post. But yeah, the lounge is awesome. I'm just glad the "ripe" comments went away. I was riped to kill the guy that started that thing.

Why, what's up? Or are you just giving me **** like Ben has for not using PHP? Leave me to my HTML-only world. I have weak web page kung fu.

No, chill hombre. Just thought it was cool that you re-launched your site (finally), and then I was let down by the lack of cool mindfad-like content. Gimme icons, gimme fun stuff! gimmme gimme gimme!!!

But maybe leaving us wanting more is a GOOD thing.

I certainly ain't no code nazi
