Welcome to FTM! smile

Back at MFIF, if I recall correctly, someone suggested that the Lounge should be named Cyn City. grin

Why mess with a time-proven entity?
My vote is for "Lounge".

I'm not sure if it was just a suggestion (or was used as topic?), but I have a hazy memory of a Lizard Lounge back at the old MFI. Not that it would necessarily be my first choice....

I think the Lounge is safe though, grelber, for now at least, because the powers that be have only officially solicited a creative description. "Lounge" is pretty standard usage that most folks probably recognize, which is a plus, but something wild and crazy in the subheading might make a refreshing change.

Here's the original description:

The Lounge (1 viewing)
The place for discussion of just about any NON-troubleshooting topic, from aardwolves to zymosis, including Apple happenings and Mac news, cats (of course!) and 42.

I tried to have a look around there for my original posts, but it took too long..........

Yes, lizards were associated with the ur-Lounge, but they were deemed too slimy and/or degenerate by the bouncers. Hence, the contest and the name change.

Obviously, those bouncers never handled a real lizard. Like their brethren, snakes, lizards feel smooth and leathery. They are far from slimy.

It's unfortunate that many people have wrong ideas about these wonderful animals.

Romper Room

Common Room

1. A faculty lounge in a college or university.
2. A lounge for use by all members of a residential institution or community.

Indeed — on all counts. At least you and I are on the same page on this one.
Methinks the bouncers were considering the lounge lizards of human ilk.
