Let's talk about creativity.
What IS creativity? Is it having some new, important idea to communicate, or is it just a reconstruction of bits of previously imbibed ideas that have been passed on to a person considered creative?
Is it an act of innate brightness or is it mimicry?
Can...
Well, I suppose that works, if the intent here is to "punish" people from reading the forum altogether after being banned.
What could a banned person do if they got banned and they could still see The Lounge? They'd lurk, until they were back. Worst case scenario, they make a duplicate...
What I find funny is that before this thread I imagined all of the regular posters and lurkers to wait for a thread and jump right into it the moment it appeared.
And it did. Let us thank Jesus our almighty creator for it.
Seriously, yes. It was the off-topic forums that made me stay, as a matter of fact, though I initially signed up to make HL2 related posts. But even so, by making the off-topic forums invisible, this place loses some of its appeal to a potential lurker, however small it could be.

Yes, that can and has been done and will continue to be done - as long as there are people here.
The issue is not whether shit threads or good threads are being made, but why it has been decided that the off topic forums should remain hidden to potential new members who could contribute to...
So I logout and notice that The Longue and all the other forums in the Off topic section are hidden.
I wouldn't really mind if we had more activity going on in the lounge. Oh shit, did I say we don't have any activity in the lounge?
F*ck yes I did. I mean, it's not like the Off Topic forums...
Which radio stations do you listen to?
I don't really mean music discovery services like Pandora or last.fm, but rather actual internet radio stations of whatever genre that play decent music.
