One more suggestion.

If possible, I think this should be moved from the lounge and put in its own separate area at the top of the front page. That will separate it out a bit more and direct more new posters to the board.

Beyond that, I just want to say good job on this site. I came here sometime after the first ACC raid and was interested in the Big East board because it talked so much realignment which I thought was fascinating. It's been neat to see that split off to the Big East Expansion board, then to Conference Realignment, now to more general aspects as well. This site is run well and that's why it's gotten to where its at.
