Why do Lounge threads never make the Greatest page?
Granted, I spend most of my time in GD, but when it occasionally gets a little toxic over there, I like to drop in on the Lounge. I have read some great stuff in here!

1. GD snobs. They don't appreciate the rapier-like wit and pithy reparte....

... that comes from The Lounge.

Besides, sometimes we're too busy flingin' poo at each other to notice how good some of these posts are...

And I've completed left out the conspiracy angle....

:D

3. because I would make a post called "nominate this"
And it would get 5 votes and go on greatest.

4. I think it's set up so that no matter how many votes a lounge topic gets..
It won't appear on the greatest page.

5. Because they are too great.
We can't allow our greatness be spread too thin, or else things won't be as great as they are here.

If our stuff ends up on the "greatest" page, lots of people will see it and think it's great, and there goes our greatness.

6. Great Scot...
What are you talking about?

Your post was starting to 'great' on my nerves.

(OK, I admit I was reaching a bit on that last reference.)

8. Well, thats two votes:
I agree that lounge threads rarely get that type of attention (meaning serious attention).

9. Because it's set up that way.
Not every forum can appear on the Greatest page by design. The Lounge is one of those excluded.
