Make Lounge Public?

Post by stipud »

Currently the Lounge is only visible to users with accounts. The idea behind this was to shelter new users from our banter, and keep the forums looking focused. Anyone who signs up for an account here can read the Lounge, but any guests don't get to see it.

Would you prefer if it was publicly visible? One good effect is that this will get us more content on Google, so we will have a higher page rank, and the likelihood of us being found is higher. This also means that anyone can read anything in the lounge without registering.

Not a big deal either way, so I'll implement whatever the poll result is.

I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.

Like you said it really doesn't matter but being an "audio enthusiast" site maybe keeping it off is a good thing. The Lounge is mainly for us that don't have anything better to do with our time than making each other laugh. Just my thought.

Ok, out of 5 votes I'm the only one who said open.

Looks like it will be closed then. I will still keep the poll open for another day...

I say closed until you register, enough banter flows over into the other sections to show guests what to expect from this forum knowledge level wise.

If you say closed, why did you vote open?

I have stolen hundreds of dollars from my friends. If you know me, stay away, because I will steal from you too.

If I voted yes, I messed up, switch me to no. Sorry, I was probably high.

No can do seniorita, but I think it's pretty obvious what the answer is anyways.

Consider it done. Lounge is only viewable to registered members.
