So is my stepfather, though you'd never know it if you met him.
I wonder if folks would say the same about me.

Thanks for the kind replies guys. 
I don't think this change was caused by a single event. Many threads were being created so someone probably brought it up and the admins started thinking about it. It was then decided that all these threads (the big ones, some were closed I believe) were to be moved here.
There was nothing wrong with the threads in the first place, and yes they were made to be mostly off-topic. I guess the admins didn't like where the forum was heading to, so they decided to get everybody to chat in The Lounge.
It was suggested to rename the threads. I personally think it could work... There would be a few "chat threads", but with names not related to the phone. "Chat thread!", "Talking by the water cooler...", "Sit down and grab a drink
", "Break room chat!", "The bonfire thread", stuff like that (I just made this up). We'd then see if people prefer one thread or many threads (aka they all die except one or they all stay alive (without posts with only "bump" in them)). Or they all die.
We're probably going to leave it like it is for now. Too much change is never good.

I don't remember being too kind.
But I feel kindness. Does that count?IMO the Lounge forum is a waste.
The Incedible should have its own sub-forum called "Lounge", so should the Droid, the DroidX, Fascinae, etc.
This way you click on a particular phone that you might have, and see the "Lounge" sub-forum listed above.
Easy to find, out of the way, everyone is happy.

people bump those threads with useless posts in order to keep it at least on first page, so the entire community is aware it is there and they can come chill.
If it was sticky, or a sub-forum listed at the top that wouldnt be an issue.

A very minor (for some) annoyance resulting from the lounge change. I can no longer go up to the top of the page and click on the "HTC Incredible" link to get back to the Incredible forum. Now I have to "search" for it again.
And I'll have you know that I pay no attention to my post count and only post relevant (to me) things. I have always said that it's "quality" that counts, not the "quantity"

You can edit your favorite forums and you'll have a link on the left of the home page. I use that all the time.

What do you mean by "Home page"? Will it be at the top of any page within the Lounge" thread?
Forgive my ignorance, but this forum is not laid out like others I'm used to.
EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. DUHHH

Whenever you are on a page with a list of threads, there is a "Favorite Forums" box on the left of the page. You edit it and check off the forums you want to follow and get to quickly.

Am I doing something wrong or can you only add forum topics to the favorite list and not individual threads like this particular lounge?

I don't THINK you can add individual threads or topics. Just main forums and sub forums.
Good enough for me.

Yeah, that's what I think to. It's too bad because it would sure save time if you could add individual threads.
Of course it's good enough for you, most post hogs don't care where or what thread they post in as long as it counts!

Your welcome! How the hell are ya!
That's what she...
Never mind. I'm supposed to be an ordained minister.
For the small (very) part i play in all this, Thank You
I think a sub-forum IN the lounge would be a good idea. The point i would try to make is that there are plenty who don't/can't mesh well with x large amount of users and prefer the smaller though admittedly segregated atmosphere of the device lounges.
See above^ Never would be there own sub-forum, not for only one thread. And anymore than that would be pointless as well, that is why the Lounge is there
And no more sticky's (as i'm hoping you have noticed) any where other than the Global Phone Guide posts in every section now. I see and agree with most of the reasoning in this situation.

I'd like to think of you as dead too, but I keep seeing you posting everywhere!
We're going to need a few new mods just to keep an eye on you. Oh, and by the way, you do know that one of the preset reasons for an infraction is being disrespectful to a mod? I feel like someone should apologize.
Just kidding, as usual. Man, I need a new tea time soon, it's been way too long already.
Now that's just rude.

+1 on the tea time, you get to listen to tuesday's podcast? Not that it could compare but might of been a good buffer.
oh and who is being disrespectful to a mod? I will drag them out back for ya if you like! I'm down like that!
And your right, keeping up with me IS a full time job!!

I couldn't listen to it live, but I listened to the first half afterwards. No one was being disrespectful, I just wanted to see if you would apologize for no reason.
It feels so wrong to chat in The Incredible lounge, a phone which I've never owned. Or touched. Or seen. Sue me.
I think I'm going to get back to my favorite spam subforum. (if your name is green, you now which one it is )
