    ...That's why it's a linux forum. So we can talk about linux. Coffee lounge aside, remember why the forum is here in the first place.

    This reminds me of the legal threats on thepiratebay.
    'Infringed Party' "Dear Sir, You are infringing serveral US Copyright Laws and are liable to be sued..."

    PirateBay"Eh, Hello? I'm in Sweden you idiot. Swedish law applies here, not US law."
    Yeah the piratebay is a great thing.

    I want to keep the lounge, and it seems like everyone else wants too. If you don't wan't it, browse the other sections. People won't post more in "Linux Networking" if they don't know how to solve the problem.

    EDIT: I btw have 559 posts in the lounge, and 1239 posts in the other sections

    The coffee lounge is staying.

    yay...

    yeah, I've noticed people like offtopic sections. If not most people, then at least me.

    I vist a paintball forum just to go to the 'off-topic' section. I don't even play paintball.

    Even if people tend to post more here than in the linux-related forums, it's not like taking it away is going to do anything about it. Except bring people displeasure.

    By all means... KEEP the Coffee Lounge!

    In my opinion, it would be a huge error to do away with it.
