What do people think about that now?

You would not be able to start new threads in it, only reply to threads that had been moved there already be a moderator when they reached a certain number of replies.

Thoughts?

How about naming it "distill'd coffee lounge - popular threads from the coffee lounge.", "hall of coffee- cups of tea and coffee we remember."
(in other words, I'm with the split up voters)

Although I'm against the split... Coffee Shop would also be a good name.

I agree with TechieMoe

I like the idea of moving threads with four or more pages to a popular lounge. Or even creating a `classics' lounge. We all know where we were that day we clicked the link to the coffee lounge and saw Chris H posting about why he Dumped Linux and Reinstalled Windows

The occational long thread in the lounge wouldn't be such a big deal then.

Just an idea.
