One reason I think the lounge went away in it's old form was because many times when a mod tried to enforce a rule or keep a handle on things before they went too far outta control they were pretty much attacked. It got rediculous. This was not by all users like I stated somewhere else recently, it was only a few actually. Nonsense(there was ALOT of it) from the lounge routinely spilled over into the other truck areas at the time and it was finally decided to just rename the lounge and adjust it's focus. That is how General Truck Topics was brought about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again in case it was in one of those crazy banned threads last night that is locked. There was a TON of complaints from truck users we used to get when Lounge stuff would end up ruining a good thread. We rarely if ever get complaints now, new users are coming in everyday it seems like too. I'd say that is helping the forum and not hindering it. I think a truck lounge coming back again can help also, it's pretty obvious from the vote totals. I just hope that when it does it doesn't turn out like the last lounge.

I tried to explain why it went since you weren't here to see the chaos sometimes. If you were it would be somewhat easier to understand.

I think everybody needs to just sit back, relax a bit, let the lounge idea go for just a bit(as stated already) , and think about what their next mod is gonna be.


Ok makes sense, I think most guys just want to hang out with people they know and talk about stuff besides trucks. We are all adults in here, personnal y I dont see anything wrong with **** or talking **** its just the internet but, if the rules say no then everyone has to adhere to them I know I will. If I were you guys I would just lock the posts that get out of hand and if people get pissed so what they can go take a flying **** you guys are doing your jobs and I think most of yall do an outstanding job from what Ive seen in the past 6 months I hope they give yall some sort of compensation.
thanks for you efforts

can we please have a lounge now?

**** is a definate no. Too many people surf at work and can get in HUGE trouble if **** pops up on the screen. Gotta keep the site safe for work so people can pass the day faster.

Talking **** is ok but, that is one of the things that was spilling outta the lounge.

I see the lounge more of a place to go and just hang out, post a video link, funny site, crazy ebay auction, something interesting that happened to you, etc. Just general hang out joint. A little **** talk is ok, but that stuff HAS to be kept somewhat reasonable. I think alot of swearing and generally crude stuff makes a site look somewhat un professional, turns alot of people off.

Like has been said just hang tight, I think everyone will get their wish.

There is no need to single people out. If your guilty you know it.

You've been banned more than 3 times, just not the same username.

BTW, I think there are several people with avatars right now that might want to go ahead and change them. I can think of a rule against that stuff.
