Actually.. I'd recommend leaving the old lounge as-is with the link.

That way.. people would know why a new lounge was made.

My thoughts exactly, make an example out of the situation "This is how a lounge should be like *points to start of thread*, this is NOT *points to end of thread*".

And just as a little taste for what I'm hoping the new lounge will hopefully be like:

Moving house, moving town.
I'll be IRL over the next few days/week or so, migrating out of my parent's house to move to the city. I hope to see a new audio forum lounge when I get back.

Everything looks to be in order, Rucklo. I'm hanging out for the new lounge.

Just had to follow above... u know, just to try it out! ^___^

Contacting Denvish
Managed to get hold of him, but he seem to be hesitant about starting the lounge. Basically, I feel him too, with the reasons that he's not a BBS-mod, and don't frequent this forum. For us it's tradition, I'll try to make that clear in a reply. He also mentioned that he still have no connection that allows him to even visit NG (lolwtf, 28.8k???). If he don't want to do it, then one of us BBS-mods will. I brought this suggestion up in the first place since I know that some of you cares about who gets a thread that makes many replies, though IMHO it really doesn't matter. It makes sense that a BBS-mod will, however, since we're the janitors. :)
Checking with him again however.

I'll throw together a new pitch and take into consideration what have been suggested. If your idea is not in the pitch, I'll try to make clear why, so we can keep discussing it.

When something BBS-fundamental like this is "in the open", I still just want to point out that us BBS-moderators still have the final say, *janitor reason*. Wouldn't have brought it up if we wouldn't listen however!

New pitch will be up within a couple of days.

Hi guys, first time posting on the BBS in over a year, how dare that Rucklo nutter disturb my Rumpelstiltskin-like nap.

If you really want me to post a new AF topic, I guess it's not a problem really, it just seems more appropriate that it should be started by someone who will be actively monitoring it and keeping the spam under control - which I can't do at the moment due to my silly connection (and the fact I retired from BBS-modship when I went AWOL). However, if you want to see my username next to it for the sake of familiarity, I can kind of understand that, although you should probably see a psychaitrist.

Rucklo's sent me a copy of his first post which I've kind of merged with my first post in the original AF to look something like this:

===========

Hello!

Welcome to the Audio Forum Lounge. This thread is intended to be a gathering place for NG's audio artists (voice actors, musicians, SFX-freaks, etc) to chill out and chat; to get to know each other on a more personal level, and to strengthen the musical community on Newgrounds.

When you post in here, a few basic rules and guidelines should be taken into consideration:

1) If you're new to the Audio Forum, do yourself (and us) a favour by reading the Audio Forum Rules. If you're new to the NG BBS, you should also check out the BBS rules.

2) This Lounge is primarily for non-audio related discussions, although you won't get beaten down if you do bring something audio related up. For the really technical stuff, please post in the appropriate thread (eg FL-thread or whatever). If there is no existing thread that suits your subject, then create a new one - that's what the Audio Forum is here for.

3) To try to keep order of all the simultaneous discussions that are likely to exist, please put a subject on what you're planning to discuss. For example, if there is a discussion about skateboarding going on you can make the subject in bold (and/or underlined). It might look like this:

Skateboarding
I bought a new board the other day, got it really cheap too! Haven't skated in bla bla bla etc.

4) Although rambling and ranting will be allowed and even encouraged, spamming will not be tolerated; as with any other part of the BBS, there are rules that must be obeyed. Flagrant disregard of these rules will be rewarded with post deletion and possibly a ban.

That's pretty much it! Enjoy hanging out in the Audio Forum Lounge!

Dude, I don't even fucking know you and I want your user name next to the new thread.

yeah, a new thread will be created, of course. we'll polish the last few details of the pitch, and then have Denvish to make the thread.

It'll come, but we might keep you guys short of a lounge a day or two extra, since you all sucked ass and made us work extra to create this new lounge ;)
LOL!

Alsoooo, this mean everyone still have a day or two for feedback and comments of the pitch/other ideas.

don't you see how why denvish was the best mod ever? We miss you denvish :(

i still dont understand what you all think is going to make the new one any different from this one.

we're making a big deal out of it, by locking the old lounge, say that everyone behaved like assholes - and that gets everyone, or at least some, to think a little, and agree that have been the case. then, we make this thread, lets everyone take part to create the new "home", and one is less likley to shit in the very home he helped building. the "making a big deal out of it" helps getting everyone focused in keeping the spam and bullshit to a minimum.

that's a few reasons why i think the new lounge will be different from the old one.

when the lounge starts to get empty from people, due to them being banished (lol, banished) from the BBS, that's when it didn't last any longer.

in all seriousness, i think it will last quite a while, and if hte attitude change, which it already seem to have, and all the new ppl joins up in the "mood of the lounge", i think there's a big chanse of it staying nice and clean.

sadly, new people don't read.

perhaps not, but new people follow the standards and adept to them quickly, i.e. the way people post and act.

Old people don't read either.

To keep with the house metaophor we could all METAPHORICALLY be the bitchy old folks that sit on our porches and yell at the hoodlems. Once we start waving our canes and our dentures fall out, im sure those rascals will stay clear of the audio forum lounge.

that paragraph was ENTIRELY relevant - and considering it was in the general forum - brilliant.

also I was never a noob in the audio forum - I was here before it existed - in faaaaact - I was the first person to respond in the original audio lounge :)

I'm gonna miss the old lounge. It was so old, so ancient, and I loved watching it's stats build up.

I has a sudden urge to go and hug it :(

The 1337 page was infinitely more important than the 2000th.
Farewell, l33tp4g3. We never knew ye.

*cries*

I just didn't want to mention 1337 page.

It's loss is too tragic.
