The issue with bringing back lounge to the public is that, because of the exclusivity of the past, there is personal information scattered throughout there. Emails, selfies, discord IDs.
Also, the people commenting in this forum saying that they “deserve it” haven’t even been devforum members for a year. Most messages in the lounge go back over a decade. I was posting in those channels at 13 and on the original forums at 11. I would recommend just not stressing about it.
This forum used to be wildly unmoderated, and I know that I personally would prefer it being kept as is. I see it more as a personal information concern. It’s already bad enough that me being a cringe 13-year-old is already permanently publicly available.
