Teen Lounge

Post by Jess »

:( bah. i know that this topic will probably not change anything about it...but i really HATE how spread out our "teen lounge" is now. heh, i really liked it when polls & quizes and such were a sub category of chit-chat. :pinch: and now it is just all confusing and such and i really don't see a point to it and ARGH. my suggestion is to move it back to how it was. enough said. I know that now my suggestion will probably be ignored...but I had to tell y'all. :crying: i dont like it.

True... I don't like how it makes things look cluttered. Like move polls and quizzes back with chit chat and stuff.

I figured I was doing a good thing, but I definitely see what your saying and agree.



Ok, so the solution is what? You're saying that we should move "Polls and Quizzes," "Interesting facts & quotes," and "International News" back to sub-forums of Chit-Chat and leave the rest how it is? Would that solve your issue with the clutter?



Jess, your opinions and everyone else opinions matter to us. We have a suggestions forum for this very reason. Input from this forum is often used to improve the site. You're the first to say something about the new lounge. I actually changed it thinking it would be for the better, however, I was waiting for somebody to say something to see if there was a better way to consolidate the forums that are not for help but the community aspect of this site. I solved that with the creation of "TeenHelp Lounge" but I do agree, it's cluttered. That's why I want to know if my above solution will solve the problem you brought up. What changes should be made?

Ok, I will try that, and lets see what people think.



Update: Well, I have made the change...take a look at "TeenHelp Lounge" now and let us know what you think. Give any further suggestions and we'll consider them.

I would say move International News out of chit-chat... cause it isn't just chit-chat, actual important conversations go on there, and move Entertainment in... cause that well is chit-chat. But otherwise it looks better now I think...

You see, Jess? It DID change something. :)
ATTENTION: Due to finanical difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

"They turn the lights down low,

In shadows hiding from the world,

Only coming out when it gets cold.

The seas part when they hit the floor,

The voices carry on and out the door

And everything you touch turns into gold

Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,

(Never cease to amaze me)

That's when I got up and left" Like The Angel - Rise Against

This whole misconception that the members or staff with a lesser status can't change things really gets on my nerves. We're always open for suggestions.

I agree. It's serious stuff in there. Not chit chat.

I like the way it is now as well, less to scroll through and I don't get confused. I get confused easily.

Well, I have to answer back to this. The actuality of the "openess" is questionable. Sometimes [in the past] It was like suggesting nothing.. But I gotta give you props skye, you actually seem to be paying attention and seem concerned about our ideas recently :D !!!



I like the way it was, I'm guessing the way you guys & gals are complaining about...

If you suggest something and it seems right, we will do it. If you suggest something that doesn't seem right, isn't feasable, or is just plain stupid, of course we aren't going to do it.

I've always cared about all of your opinions...its just that some are better than others.
