We heard you: No Off-Topic Lounge.

Fine, guys. There won't be an off-topic lounge. Even though it's a *kickass* idea we won't do it, we guess. Also, I talked to Bella and I did want to point out that my reasoning wasn't "people are posting things I don't like" because if that were true I'd delete most things you guys post. Rather, it was because like as some commenters have stated in the last post, we're like moving way off the topic of sims. We aren't a politics blog, we're a sims blog.

Unrelated but does anyone who uses DreamWidth and knows HTML know if Dreamwidth supports Iframes?

Also, say Happy Birthday to Calmcil! It was their birthday last week!

(Anyway, this is the last non-secret post for a while, we promise!!)

It'd be nice to have an off-topic lounge, but some people just don't want nice things I guess.

I do recommend putting up a poll not during the week though. Or at least give it a full 7 days.

EDIT: Not entirely sure if DW supports Iframes but it's worth testing. If you want to make a private DW journal or comm post, the option is there. DW is kind of... janky when it comes to what HTML it likes and what it doesn't. Sorry I couldn't be of much help beyond that, it's been a couple years since I did significant coding here. :(

If there was a off-topic lounge I will completely ignore it and continue to post in the main thread.

And then your comments would be deleted as offtopic and everyone would be happy.

This is actually a point I brought up because it could easily be taken out of context and used as a sign that I am supporting an agenda, or mass deleting, or trying to censor anons by deleting their comments whilst my intentions in this situation would simply to be cleaning up offtopic discussion.

If there was an offtopic lounge you could first copy paste the offtopic comment there as anonymous to "move it"and then delete it? Then it wouldn't be deleted fully but transferred in it's rightful place.

Your asking them to do a lot of unnecessary work

Yeah, so delete away, if one can't follow the rules their comments can be nuked, no discussion or reasoning needed.
