the lounge is not everybody's cup of tea but, like other bl forums, it's a market of ideas. hence, there's demand for (and therefore supply of) what many who do not frequent the lounge might consider juvenile, stupid banter.
if you want to discuss an aspect of bluelight from a process-improvement perspective, support is probably a better bet.
if you want to discuss some aspect of bluelight culture more socially, then start a thread in the lounge but consider dropping the lounge staff a pm to ask them to keep an eye on it and keep it more on topic than the usual loungefail threads.
there's no substitute for getting involved. be the change, and all that...
