One of the advantage is to keep it SIMPLE !
'Lounge TALKS' have been set up and is awaiting its first comments.
The idea is to stay zen in discussion, with a clear and easy layout for any kind of user to understand, and start talking about any subject.
By using it you're in creating an instant community alike and, even simple visitors (not registered) can interact, take part in discussions, ask questions, give answers and express opinions.

You just can't edit and tag on topics (you need for that to have an account). But the most interesting is that with a click, and no more waiting, you're allowed to discuss with any other on anything you like. No need for moderation, and use the tags to find topics much easier.
For now I have pre-defined some you can use. Quite 30 or more topics in often a SALACIOUS, PROVOCATIVE voire OUTRAGEOUS flavors have been set-up, and it's only up to you to have more. Clicking on one of the topics will open a comment form and a scroll list of the actual topics.
To summarize, it makes it easy for anybody to communicate with any other (so I hope that you'll come around and make it FUN), with open and no confusing categories,  just 3-click-away, with a quick overview of all topics in a single mouse click.

Use it intensively (until further notice obviously :-)!
