Rumor is the Lounge will have to shut down due to the economy.
I've been hanging around the mod hot tub and I heard a little rumor. Apparently, the Lounge is too expensive to keep open during these hard times. It will be shutting down soon. See you all in GD.

There is plenty of energy left to run the Lounge if we implement clean LOLcat technology.

They'll just have to pass out ear plugs for the yowling.

11. Screw that. If the lounge goes down, we must take all the other forums/groups down with us
let's see how long this place exists with only the Loners Group and Utah Forum. :grr:

(btw, does anyone else see the irony in having a loners group??)
