Not sure if everyone else feels this way, but the discussions in the Lounge have tended to move away from the nerddom that you'd expect from this website. More than half the active threads seem to be jokes/attempted humor/non-geeky discussions, and if we could have a sub-forum (a child forum within a parent forum) where those threads can be posted, it'd keep the Lounge clean. Right now, a casual onlooker would struggle to identify the Lounge as a hangout meant for geeky sci-fiction loving programmers.

You got my support for that!

They were jokes????? That's debatable.

When I said joke, I was speaking purely from the perspective of those that post them.

tidying up the Lounge? Are you nuts?

Not all of us have given up, Luc.

Now, get yourself a Darth Vader voice changer and say that out loud. I bet it's almost as powerful as "I am your father Luc".

Yes you are. And Nish would have you banned to some subforum?

Ahhh, but this is not the Lounge my young Padawan - plus check out the avatar; that's why I get away with Star Wars references.

You're right of course, I got confused again by all these forums.
And I know your avatar quite well, it is one of the reasons I have the popups enabled; yours currently says "CEO United Kingdom"; the other day there was a "President United States". Quite a community we have here.

Yeah, Barack likes to answer some of the easier .NET questions in the evenings.

I have no idea about that, I expect it would scare the cats, the hamsters, in fact the whole menagerie.

I support this idea.

Really, we'd need quite a number of sub-forums to have the type of vision you wish (which may not be shared by all).
A forum for heavy-drinking; ditto for bacon-based-abuse;
and for those suffering from / recovering from whatever
and those . . . never mind the list - and I didn't mean to offend anyone (except perhaps the boorish bacon brigade)
Would I be going over-the-top in suggesting that we each might have a suggestion to remake the forum in our own deified image, but that would ultimately be satisfied only when we each had our own CP Lounge.

How are those voting change suggestions coming along these days? The ones you made a while ago.
I fear that your suggestion will fall by the wayside, as all good suggestions do.
Oh well. I do like your suggestion, however.

Well, if Chris would only listen to some of my brilliant suggestions for this website, he’d probably be sipping a gold-dusted mojito on a beach on his personal summer island waiting for his family to arrive in their private jet so they could all go for an evening cruise in their luxury cruise boat.

He's too busy doing that right now to have time to implement any of your suggestions.

Not sure what you mean by a child forum. You mean a separate forum called something like "Lounge - Jokes"?
The lounge is for technical, geek discussions, and I don't see that bad nerd jokes should be excluded.

Well, don't you follow the threads there these days then? I see lawyer/blonde/pub/drink/race-stereotype jokes there but no traces of nerd-humor (good or bad).
