Many years ago I made the suggestion of adding a coffee lounge to the site
Just a place for members to prattle on about their days or converse with other poets.
While there probably isn't much point now as most have either died or left I would like to bring it up again
and not just because it was voted down but as a point of discussion amongst whoever is left:
Both billy and leanne were against it (I can't remember what Todd's position was)
The arguments against it:
there may have been more but I don't remember.
My counter arguments were:
What are your thoughts?

The arguments against it:
- it would suffer from trollery and tomfoolery and be too much work for the mods
- We already have areas for member discussion
- We have the sewer and the Pig's arse as unmoderated prattle
there may have been more but I don't remember.
My counter arguments were:
- no argument here, there might be some trollery or tomfoolery, I was willing to take on the extra work if necessary
- The areas for discussion seem targeted around topics and sometimes members just want to socialize with others with similar interests
- Both the sewer and the pig's arse have some negative connotations as a free for all and wouldn't actually fill the spot.
What are your thoughts?
