Maybe what I should also do is moderate to cut down the (what I percieve as) attention-seeking "Oh, woe is me" threads. Cut them out before they get started.
I like that!

That sounds like the most reasonable so far. I think it'd work.
+1 I think that will be a great way to go about it.
Folks are complaining about the OT lounge, but it has it's place. It strengthens the "Community" part of this forum and helps to make the members human and not just names with an opinion you might or might not agree with. Without it, the site will purely be just another resource - and as far as resources go...well, the internet is full of them.
Now it's a great resource, don't get me wrong. (Without it I would have known nothing about how the price you see in music stores is NOT the price you pay and all that, ?) It really is great to be able to PM somebody for advice when you're stuck or need some help and I can also attest to the generosity and calibre of some of the members. (Stuff you can't put a price on here in the platteland) But I would probably not have had the candidness to make use of these members as a resource if I didn't feel part of the community. So it's a bit of a two edged sword.
