The thing is I don't think it does. The people with that device who don't venture out, don't know about them. The people who post in them are usually the people who frequent the lounge anyway. It just seems clique-y to me.
If they're supposed to encourage device forum people out, they need to do a much better job. Most people in these threads don't have the device anyway, so why is it that device's watering hole at all? They're just one long, off-topic thread. If someone wants to talk about star wars with someone who may or may not have the same device as them, why is that not a thread in it's own right?
I see them as pointless and aggravating. Every time I scroll past one, a little piece of me inside dies. It's fine that you don't see whats hard about that. That's your prerogative. But I have been objective about this and put myself in the shoes of those who do use them, when creating this thread so I would kindly ask that you at least try the same.
