The Lounge vs Soap Box

[GT98]

Whats the difference between the two?

and what are the posting guide lines?

[Ant]

I've done away with the name Soap Box as I feel it has become tainted and the recent rediculous claims of people's constitutional rights being infringed by the way the forum was being run was the straw the broke the camels back.

The rules to the Lounge are simple, act in an adult and civilised manner. I retain the right to close threads that I feel go against the nature of this forum and this site. I will retain sole control over this forum to spare other people the abuse that has been aimed at them for simply trying to moderate the forum and keep the peace.

Lets make this a clean start and bring back the old sense of community we used to have around here please. The only reason I have continued with this site for nigh on 8 years is for the community that has built up around it, I really couldn't give two figs about Matrox or their products. As I have said before the MURC will end when the community disappears and in my mind the end is nigh with the way some people have been behaving, some people have simply turned into playground bullies. If you want to spew forth your anger and narrow minded views then please take it elsewhere it is not welcome here. If you are capable of entering into a discussion and listening to the views of others then make yourself at home.

I will be glad to reserve this forum for more lighthearted stuff. The new name reflects a feeling of being a refuge from the tiring world. It would be nice if we could find a place for more lively discussion, though. Some here like it while some do not, and I understand why a lot of people would avoid a forum with a lot of political content. It's like the paper on Sunday morning.. kids read the comics, mom gets the society pages or whatever, and dad reads the sports.

As you would in real life, though, let's respect the feelings and positions of others in the room. Real discussions do not involve name-calling, at least successful ones don't. How could I expect someone to consider my point of view if I am calling him a Euroweenie or whatever? I know I'm as guilty as any for sometimes falling into the fiery flame trap, but the people here are a bright bunch, and when we try, we can say something without flaming each other. Flaming of governments might be a different matter, but that annoys some people, so we should not do it in here. Wish we had a "Bloody Politics" forum or whatever to spew that sort of drivel in.

Maybe a "Piss and Moan" forum too.
