1. You know, for awhile, it did bother me.

But now, it makes an excellent page marker; if I'm not sure which page I'm on, that little yellow marker tells me instantly without looking where I am! So it works for me that way...I'm sorry it oppresses you...

:hi:

BTW, I LOVE your sig line! I like it so much that I copied it into a little blank book I keep with memorable sayings and such...

2. Can you imagine managing a public forum with The Lounge in it!

Talk abouit maga "bummers." I don't know how they do it. I kind of like it. Puts things in perspective, you know regressed behavior in The Lounge, teachers trying to set limits, etc.

7. I don't know how Skinner and the mods do it.

This crew of wiseass, intelligent, irreverent, anti-authority, crazy (in the good way) people, discussing all sorts of intense, controversial topics . . .

It's flat amazing. One of the greatest community exercises in human history.

14. You know, you're right. This is THE best forum on the internet...

never thought about it on a larger scale but I think that's correct.

If people can nominate Kos for the Nobel Prize, we can nominate Skinner!

17. It is a truly remarkable place

I've built smaller, more niche-oriented online groups, but this place is amazing.

and really feature rich and pretty much everything pretty much works pretty much all the time.

Freaking incredible.

3. I'm not crazy about it.

You can have fun without sex threads. For a long while it made me think in the back of my mind that we can't have any kind of fun in the lounge.
It made the point. I wish they would take it down or at least change the post so it doesn't constantly look like its a new announcement.

19. I don't really mean the whole post or the rules

I just mean those words perpetually stuck to the top of the Lounge.

Just having the words "the fun is over" is a downer.

I'm not dissing Skinner or the mods, but it does seem like it dampens my mood whe I fire up the Lounge

Kind of like an "UNWELCOME" mat

16. It's funny to me.

Because I mostly spend time in the Lounge, so when I leave the Lounge and don't see it tacked up, I get sad. :(

This should be addressed in the "Ask the Administrators" forum.
