Kill it! Kill it now! The other forums are laughing at us because of it LAUGHING!! Well I don't know if thats really true but I think that filthy pit of slime has had it's run and it's about time it was taken down so we can all move on and stop wasting so much time there... Not always. One of the biggest uses of the Spam Lounge was to post nonsensical remarks and rehashed memes like “ITZ OVR 9000 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL KADSJHADSJHADSJHADSJADSHGADSKJDSAJASJFAAK” or something useless. Hey I had a perfectly valid reason for doing that over 9000 bit... Kinda.... >_> Hold it, I know of at least on forum that has a spam lounge type topic on it, that I didn't create. I can't remember the site though.

At TUS, before they shutdown, what we used to do was have an entire forum dedicated to Spam, and one dedicated to General Discussion. In The Dump (name for the spam forum), you could make any topic about anything, but it would not count towards your general post count, and it was more lenient on what you could talk about. Then General Discussion would hold all the topics worth an argument or Discussion. So random unimportant stuff in The Dump, everything else in General Discussion.

But that forum is more up-tight than this one.

There are plenty of forums that have a spam lounge esque thread but I have seen none that took over General Discussion like the spam lounge has.
Imagine GD was a town/city. The spam lounge would be the huge skyscraper while the other threads are little impovrished huts that no-one visits. Thats the way I see it.

Let's just move all spam and forum games operations to the P-X RPG forum. At least then it will have some use.

Thats a good idea. We still would have the spam lounge, have general discussion back and solve the problem of the dead Pokemon-x RPG.

Um, that's kind of pointless because the SPAM lounge has no relation to the P-X RPG, which has died anyway since nothing happens there.
Anyway, I'm glad to see people agree with me about the lounge and that we should start creating more threads that have actual topics.

I've glanced through the SPAM lounge on occasion and I noticed that it's become the entire General Discussion section of the forum. Where as, normally, a new thread is created for a topic talked about for several days, weeks, or even months, a variety of topics get discussed in the lounge, but are immediately dropped when a new point comes up. New threads should be made that focus on each topic so we can have multiple discussions at once instead of just the one or two we address in each post. First off all I suggested the exact same thing in the Spam Lounge like a month ago (Though I didn't word it this well) Second, even though I hold the tittle Spam King of 09, I agree the spam lounge has be come to massive for it's own good. It has become somewhat of a topic black hole that sucks away any chance at good discussion. Heck the only threads that are immune to the spam lounges power are forum games. We can't have serious discussion in forum games people, and it's about time someone took the intuative to notice it! I say down with the lounge and up with discussion!

I'm just giving my input, no need to insult me.

Erm... sorry? How was that insulting?
Oh, wait, sorry if I wasn't clear, I was commenting on how you mentioned you can't have an intelligent discussion on a forum game.

That's not the forum I'm referring to. I said it's one I can't remember and do you honestly believe I would forget about that one?

Maybe I souldn't have put it so black and white what I meant was that it's hard to discuss, say a new movie that I liked, in a thread for a corrupted wishes game see what I mean?
