1) What standard of decency do you expect from this forum?
None.
2) What subjects do you think are off limits to all ribbing/jokes?
None. While I thought the recent roasting threads hit a little to close to home for my personal comfort, I have this unique ability to ignore those things I don't want to look at. I think only me and blind people have it.
3) Are there too many bloody picture threads in this forum? (I think so- enough already! )
Sometimes I come to the Lounge to see pics. Sometimes I come for insight. While there's been a bit of a derth in the latter lately, it doesn't mean I want the pics to go away. I like futurepig's ass as much as the next guy.
4) What subjects do you think are actually ok to poke fun at that you might think not be acceptable to others?
There are environments like dinner parties and job interviews where topics should be acceptably limited. Lounge is not one of those environments.
5) Is this thread too serious for the lounge and are you only capable of posting pics of various types of women these days?
I like this thread. I think it's overdue. I've been posting in the Lounge longer than most people here, and it certainly doesn't offer the wit and wisdom it once did. That's not to say I never find it here, it's just not like it used to be. I think this stems from the fact that 5 years ago, the Lounge was frequented by a small contingency of BLers who knew each other personally, and because of that we were able to communicate on a more familiar level. As the popularity of this site and this forum grew, you get more and more new folks who are trying to make their mark with timely zings (usually failing) or questionable posts.
My solution? Fewer new posts. In 5 years I've opened maybe 5 threads in this forum. It's because I'm not particularly witty or insightful, so I leave that to others. If you want information or advice, post in SLR, etc. If you truly have an interesting topic or series of pictures, post here.
