1. We aren't great enough apparently.
We can't be taken seriously.

7. You had several threads that made it to greatest ( plenty of recs, at least )
didn't leave front page...unless I'm thinking of someone else?

But I don't think I am..to be honest, I've never used the search feature here for others posts

5. Because the Lounge is so freaking awsome, it would be nothing but own posts
Think of it like an engine governor, but for the Internet

6. Cause then there would be stuff like:
"K&R this thread if you think the Bangles were HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111" on the greatest page.

12. They treat us Lounge Lizards so bad. They treat us like mushrooms...
they keep us in a dark, dank place and feed us bullshit. :P :evilgrin:

:hide:

You ask a good question. It's a question I have always had. Anytime we venture out of these padded cells to mingle with the oh-so-serious (translated: full of themselves) GD and GD: P types, they stick their noses up in the air. I think if it rained, the poor things would drown. They don't understand us at all over there, you know?

13. Because the people in GD can't handle humor.
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 10:46 PM by DarkTirade
At all.

So they need to be hidden from it lest they try to bring their flamewar shit in here in response to an obvious humor thread.

16. Somehow I think you would have gotten a bunch of the 'fuck you's, but they wouldn't have gotten
around to noticing that they fell for anything. They'd just get mad, shit on your thread and leave.

... actually I don't know what thread you're talking about. But that's what they do to any thread that has any semblance of humor in it.

18. According to the DU elders...
in days of yore, when Lounge threads could go to the greatest page, there were many times when threads with titles such as "Do breasts typically get larger or smaller while cooking?" or "If my nipples don't settle down, I'm trading them in!" or "Rats! I fucking fucked up again! Dang!" would appear on the greatest page.
The DU chieftains decided that having such threads on the greatest page made DU look weird. So they offered a sacrifice to the Tubal Gods, and from that day forward, Lounge threads were quarantined to the Lounge, never to migrate.
