With all do respect. I don't understand how moving the lounges helps the lurker situation. What about people (like me) who want to ask a quick question, the info is minor, and you only want responses from specific people. The lounge fills that need. Do i really need to start a new thread? By keeping the lounges in their own sections you will know that if you ask a question it's going to be answered by a guy with same engine as you. I can't imagine I am the only one who feels this way.
Thank you for listening (reading). Michael Garrison

Shoot. I voted before reading all the arguments. Too late now I guess

I guess I still don't see why anything needed to be done anyways. Everything was chugging along just fine... now there's a mess. I voted compromise... but back the way it was is probably how it should have been all along. Who were we hurting? Exactly what was the problem in the first place? If you had to move every thread that went off topic to the off topic forum, there would be no threads left anywhere else.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. This is a perfect example of why that always has been and always will be good advice. Can we just put things back the way they were and forget about all of this? I'm losing interest daily. Who knows... maybe I'll start actually driving my car more often.

Okay I read it all, I likewise don't really see what the problem was. I vote put them back as they were or if that is not aceptable, comprimise, but in the off topic just does not seem right.

Think of it like this... Historically, a question would be asked and all the replies would be in that one small file. New question, new file. Search pulls up a specific small file (usually). Now, imagine most questions being asked are stored in one HUGE file..... some new kid comes in and asks, "What's the best CAI for my car?" You proceed to rip him a new one because you've already answered that question a million times. He leaves and never comes back because "Those C5 people are punks!" Forums have a specific organization for ease of use for anyone, not just a certain clique. And that's what you want, a clique thread... not a good idea. Bullshite threads belong in off-topic, information threads belong in their most appropriate area.

Did you originally come to C5 for information? Or to make friends? Be honest...
It's cool to have friends on here, but when all the good info is in one big thread, a noob does a google search for "best exhaust for a v8 camaro", google will take him somewhere else, not here. Here, on C5, is where he belongs.

77 persons posting 3,200+ times in one thread, with the top 10 persons responsible for well over the majority of the thread... ~2500 posts. How many V8 engine related posts? (legitimate problem/solution posts)

Look at it another way... I have a problem and need a quick solution.
"Does the oil pressure idiot light and the console oil pressure gauge feed off the same sensor?" How many 'other topic' posts do I have to go thru before I get to my answer, IF I ever do get an answer, because only 8 people know I even posted a question.

I never come to a lounge looking for answers to technical questions, that's what the various categories are set up for. If I need an answer about my engine I go to the LFX section. Or I do a search on my particular issue, if I can't find an answer then I make a thread about it and usually within a few posts I get my answer. As members I wish the OP had the ability to delete any thread he starts. That way after you get your answer you can delete the thread and reduce the clutter.

Outside C5 I am a very respected business man. This current business model is set up to be a one and done model. Come in, get info and leave. In the business world that's a doomed model. You need people to stay. The lounge would be the vehicle to keep members. That's why I mentioned 3 lounges. Demographically "gear heads" are going to want to talk to other "gear heads"." Ultimately , somewhere along the line C5 is a business and the lounges are good for business. If there is no lounge I probably won't hang around for long, because once you get your info, what reason is there to hang around. And as far as business goes I am probably a very common and profitable demographic. I think we are going to have respectfully agree to disagree.
