If the lounge is the first thing people see when they find TD for the very first time, there's a good chance they will never come back. For an outsider looking in it must seem like a fucking mad house!
However, if they start with the quality content first and hang around a bit longer, they may learn to understand the lounge and it's big boy banter ways.
The thought of somebody coming to TD for the first time, and and leaving without even knowing travel threads like Bobcock's latest one, even exist, is madness.
Well done Admin for sorting it out.
