Re: Do we like the sub forum?
I like it, it's good when your looking for light relief 
I haven't ventured into the pub yet, thought it might be a bit rough

Re: Do we like the sub forum?
Makes sense to have the two. The L&C for all the important questions and the Barbie Club for all the drivvle. Especially good if having a bad/good day and just want to chat etc.
Keep it going.

I like being able to gossip

Hey, I've been in the lounge, and I came out unscathed. They are ok in there, it's just I prefer familiarity
It's not that I'm a wuss honest

Agree - & it keeps the likes of Bix, soapy, Rooksie & Fraser where they belong
.Seriously, it keeps all the inane drivel from overwhelming the posts that need answers for people like me who sometimes have very limited time available.

Threads with titles as "I've sold my house in the UK" don't belong in the OZ Lifestyle & Culture Forum. I do realize that the OP of such a thread is ecstatic about his/her house sale and that (s)he wants to share that information with his/her friends, but such a thread doesn't contribute anything to OZ Lifestyle & Culture.
If we (= ALL the members of BE) want to keep this board as a valuable source of information to those who seek it, we HAVE to keep the relevant sections clean of such threads as I mentioned. Only then will people be able to find the information they're looking for. For this purpose was The Lounge created.
I regret that The Lounge has become what it is. Without judging people, I regret that a lot of you Aussies and Aussie-wannabees don't feel comfortable in The Lounge and don't feel welcome. Maybe I have been guilty of mistreating some of you in the past and if I have I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for that.
I do realize that it's probably to late now to change your conceptions about The Lounge and the people that "live" there. I can fully understand why you don't venture into The Lounge, but I also see the need to keep the Lifestyle & Culture Forums clean of "My-hubby-has-the-flu"-threads. For those reasons I think that The Barbie is a good addition to BE.

. (Not that you have mistreated me LOL ).The Lounge was created to keep the piffle & pish out of Aussie L&C (& the other forums), but it only worked for a limited time for us. Bix & co soon migrated back dragging their heels & the Aussie forum because a quagmire of stuff again that was quite painful to wade through.
I almost never post in the lounge, but thats more to do with lack of time than anything else. Hope you come back & add some flavour to the Barbie sometimes Toontje, the same problem of "new blood" will apply just as much in here as it does in the Lounge, Im sure
