I agree also. But there is one thing that bothers me a bit : names. New Quest for lucidity. It mess up with old the Quest for Lucidicy, that is step above the new one.
Altrough I fully agree that this change will put more logic in forum. Great idea Q
yes, but the old Quest for Lucidity will have a new name. I know this can be confusing at first. The mod team will move all, or at least most posts into the new appropriate forums, and the new forum descriptions will also make clear what the purpose of each forum is
/me gives Petter some Cloud-In-A-Bottle TM to keep
The cloud discussions can still take place but they will be in the lounge everything that’s now in the cloud will be found in the lounge, so nothing is lost.
the phil discussions used to take place in lounge so they are just returning there, nothing will be lost. Plus members won’t have to wait to join the cloud user group anymore before posting.
Sorry, but I have to be honest and say that I don’t think it was a good idea at all to merge the Cloud with the Lounge. It’s a lot more messy now, and it doesn’t make sense that discussions about existential problems should be in the same forum as everyday topics such as Anybody play golf? and Lost (the tv series). It’s not that I dislike these kinds of discussions, it just feels weird and confusing to have them all in the same place, together with broader and heavier topics like that of whether there’s life after death or not, for instance.
Otherwise, I’m very happy about the changes. I missed a forum about general LD discussions before, so I welcome the General Lucidness forum with open arms.
But in phil cloud the “heavier topics” were also accompanied by more light weight ones. Also Lost is a bad example because if discussed in depth it could give very philosophical discussion
In fact, this was exactly how I felt when I first visited the Loung after the change, so you’re not alone. It really did feel so messy to have those topics side by side together. It also feels as if the Loung is being flooded with too many new topics. I never spend much time in the Loung in the first place, so I’ll be leaving now.
