    Should lounge threads appear on the recent posts on the front page?

    The definitive poll. Made it public so that no one can cheat the poll by using second names...

    Personally i think that the front page is for file sharing and the recent posts box ought to reflect that by not displaying the lounge posts. All it would mean would be a link to the view new posts could be added and people would just have to use that which i dont think is a big inconvience or a big deal.

    Since last time some people got confused or cant read but this is not a poll to get rid of the lounge, nor is it a poll of getting rid of the recent posts. Its just a poll to see if the lounge posts should be displayed in the recent posts box on the front page as they are now or they shouldnt and that the recent posts should just have file sharing threads in it.

    It wouldnt be "fixin" it. It would be improving it... That and it would target people would visit this site to view the forums more because people come to be file sharing site for file sharing.

    view new posts is much better if you want to keep up on more than just the last 10 recent posts. Its what we(the moderators) use..

    I also use the "new posts" extensively along with the real "search button", but I'm still leaning toward not trying to hide anybody. If they want filesharing posts so bad they can post some.

    Feel free to set me straight though :tilted if you can.

    I just see 8 or 9 posts on most filesharing topics and 5 or 6 pages on things filesharers actually enjoy.

    It has long been a pet peve of mine that lounge threads are shown on the front page, often with titles that IMHO that are not suitable there. Similar to the requests to remove the T shirt girl for the same reason. I am not a prude, far from it, but I feel it will clean up the front page a bit.

    I still don't really understand why you want to hide it.

    Where is the problem? You think people interested in p2p issues do not want to see other things. Maybe I don't get it, but I can't help feeling this is a vendetta you have against certain users.

    I am burned out on it anyway. I don't mean to sound like I'm taking it too personally but if this is not a forum where my kinds of topics are wanted then I'm certain I can find another.

    You win. Maybe. It does look like this poll is going our direction though.
    I think I ate a bug :(

    It is not a matter of hiding it as much as responding to people complaining about it. Seph is doing the right thing by bringing it to you the members for a vote.

    I agree.

    It would keep the site looking cleaner for those who post from work, so I'll vote "no".

    Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!

    EDIT: Changed my mind - I agree with what Method77 is about to post:
    I'm not really malicious. I'm a nice guy.
