Lobby Guidelines

You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!

The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site

But remember, always play by the rules: here

  • Compliments that I find weird.

    Being called much to kind. I dont really get it. I know it is saying that one is kind but why does it say one can be to kind? Is it trying to prevent people from heing gullible? I don't get it.

        It's not a compliment; it's intended to downplay a compliment that one receives thereby showing (false?) humility.

        "You have a beautiful singing voice."

        "Oh, you're much too kind. I really can't sing that well."

            Find my speling strange? I'm trying this out: Simplified Speling. Feel free to join me.

              then he should have used "2" because it is shorter.
