[Suggestion] Jokes Forum in the Lounge
Hi,
I suggest that we have a forum specially for jokes in the lounge. I think this would break up the lounge a little and would encourage people to post them.
To make sure people know the nature of the jokes they are reading, there should be a scheme like:
[12+] Johnny Shot Himself
[15+] Sexual Joke
[18+] Even Worse
Or:
[Violent] Joke Title
[Sexual] Joke Title
[Racist] Joke Title

I don't really think its needed. The lounge is a place where people relax/hang out after they're done with their "business" here. WHT's main purpose is to serve the consumers and hosts out there for the web hosting industry. The lounge is just to cater to the off-topic threads. I don't think we need to start developing an unrelated forum.. WHT would soon become talk.com.

This is webhostingtalk.com I'm sure there are also forums out there for posting jokes. This isn't one of them.
Because... hosting is serious business

I don't think it is needed. Most jokes that are posted are old to some and the thread quickly dies when someone posts a link to a search for the number of times that "joke" has been posted. From what I have seen, if I get time to view the posts in the lounge, there are not too many joke threads. Any obviously offensive ones are reported and removed.

Most of the threads in the Lounge are jokes...
Might confuse people ...What does one host say to the other? "(HostA) Want to go see a movie?" "(HostB) Sure, can your parents drive?"
I'm premium, and no, I did not have to pay $6 a month to figure that out.

This is primarily a hosting forum. With just an area (the lounge) for offtopic discussion. Off topic discussion should not be allowed to takeover!

Actually, the Lounge is for topics that don't fit in other Forums. I wouldn't call that 'off-topc.' There are a lot of useful threads in there. Sure there's a lot of jokes and other forms of relaxation. But it's for "general conversation, share interests, have a laugh or discuss anything not related to above or below forums."
There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.
