    Protest.

    I wish to protest that the 'What have you learnt in the last 24 hours' thread has been moved. Why couldn't it stay where it was?

    Anybody else want it put back in Chit chat general arena?

    Go on then. Oh, hold on, you have.

    It makes sense to put some of the long-running "social" threads together - they all say the same stuff anyway

    Also, those threads seem to generate a higher level of private information than usual, on occasion, which could otherwise be seen by anyone / Google / whatever. In the Private Lounge, only members can see this information, so there's a bit more protection on that front.

    Re: Protest.

    I moved it because it contained a fair amount of personal information of some of the people who posted regularly on it, and thought that it would be better in the "Private Lounge", away from the prying eyes of search engines and non-members.

    I moved "The Person Below Me" thread for the same reason.

    Do you have any good reasons why it should be moved back into "Chit Chat"?

    No, I agree with you Ducasi

    Re: Protest.

    i disagree with everyone, just to be contrary.

    I could've posted this to any thread at all.

    Re: Protest.

    If it's there with general approval, fair enough, I withdraw my protest.

    Since I hardly ever go to the Private Lounge, however, my posts on that thread are likely to stop.



    WHO CHEERED AT THE BACK THERE? OWN UP!

    Don't you use the "recent/new threads" link at the top of the page then? Doesn't matter where the thread is then. I find this the easiest way to keep up, but do wish it would also list the threads that are upstairs... I find it so hard to keep up with those

    Neeuw.

    Not enough time. Usually log on, check for PMs and Rep, look at the Chit chat threads, read the interesting sounding ones. If there's something I'm thinking of going to I might check the Social Events board, but the Private Lounge is usually infested with a sort of fey tweeness that I can't usually take for more than a minute or two. What have you learnt thread is now similarly doomed, I fear...
