not enough people would post there and we shouldn't add a forum that will barely get used and require a ton of modding when it is used.
Some requests have been made for a Computer repair/help forum as well, but we don't even think there's enough demand for that. The lounge is a catch-all and if any political discussion is brought up there, that is fine. A serious political discussion in the lounge would be protected by the moderators, the lounge is there for that as well as silly fun.
