1. Threads are VOTED INTO the lounge. By Skinner himself.
It's an honor. Series.

Have you ever seen any of those humorless people in GD or GD-P post here? Know why?

They can't. Skinner has to approve your lounge presence. Yup. It's true.

3. Isn't a system based on a vote of one a dictatorship?
Are you saying they're exiled here?

Is this a gulag?

4. They are rounded up and placed in those funny jackets

where the arms button in the back and carted off to the Lounge in a padded wagon...to get their shots from our special(translated: cracked) team of doctors and to join the rest of us in our humble basement DU asylum. Only the most enlightened(translated: hearing voices), insightful(translated: seeing things) threads are deemed worthy of Lounge emigration. :evilgrin:

6. Have you ever seen a Lounge thread moved to GD or GD:P?
No. Because they immediately place above GD or GD:P.

7. DU being an anarcho-syndicalist commune,
we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer of the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more...

well, you get the idea. That's how threads are moved to the Lounge.

13. If you are trying to be serious and people laugh, then do you have a good sense of humor?
