I quite like the idea of keeping political and other sensitive and off topic discussions off the front page so that new members don´t see it when they first come to the site, and people who aren´t interested don´t see it all the time either.
This was a bit too much though. I mean I actually looked for it, and couldn´t find it.
Am I seeing it right that posts on the lounge don´t appear in the latest posts either. You have to actually go to the lounge, or sign up for notifications it seems.
