If we really want to talk about things not related to C++ can't we just go on Facebook or something?

I'm always intrigued by people who are bothered by freedom of choice.

I do not have a Facebook account, that's why.

My facebook is for personal friends and family.

Why don't we have an IRC though?

Because we're humans, and as a product of talking about C++ on this forum we develop relationships with other users and there needs to be a place to put the resulting irrelevant chatter. If it bothers you don't use the lounge.

IRC isn't good for search results.

Anything worth searching for will eventually make its way on http://www.qdb.us

And now I hang out in our IRC. People should come to it and we'll discuss interesting topics.

IRC is great for finding help. You can ask a question there and get real help. Though doing a search on here you find different users have, at one time or another, made an IRC channel. Though, we do not have an official C++.com IRC channel from what I can remember.

Hmm well it seems like the quakenet #cplusplus channel has a few people idling in there.

Facebook? I prefer MySpace.

Last time I was on MySpace I had to wash my eyes with bleach.

Facebook? I prefer MySpace.

I prefer to have my own website as oppose to using some other company's url and strict template.

@OP:
There are many miscellaneous programming conversation that would really only fit in a forum like the lounge.
