may i assume the lounge is no more?
just curious: i certainly do not want to start (or rekindle?) any controversy. i remember some of the issues that plagued the lounge, and assume it got shut down.
this just happens to be the first time i logged into these forums in years, and noticed the absence. i've been gone a long time (from audio in general, and reaper and its community specifically) for several reasons in real life, including change of job, change of address, then a minor flood at the new address :P .

If you missing it you can google Reaper Lounge you will find it externally.
It's much the same, but less popular, perhaps with the conspiracy fruitcakes having even less opposition, but then a smaller audience too. I might be being unfair, I haven't paid that much attention to it.
The lounge never really had much of the super low IQ conspiracy theorists, it never have the David icke fans, covid 19 deniers, flat earthers, or moon landing denial types, but it's still got pretty bonkers in there at times with the unthinking types buying into ludicrous nonsense about real world terrorist attacks that were regarded as orchestrated false flag events!!!

as a way to spotlight the nutjobs one might end up working with closely if taking up audio employment in a studio or the industry?
as reenforcement to the idea that it is far better to remain an independent artist/engineer even with the downsides, so as to not be forced to deal with nutjobs in the music world?
it worked marvelously for that purpose.

The new lounge is here
https://discourse.thereaperlounge.space/
Ground zero for the QAnons. Covid deniers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, Trumpers, holocaust deniers, white supremacists, Israel haters.
If that's your thing, sign up, and have at it.
In hindsight, I can understand why Cockos shut down the lounge. It was a nice attempt at "free speech", unmoderated, but as with all these things, over times, the hate talk and reported posts took a toll on the very few moderators that we have.
This is a music forum.
If moderators have to spend an inordinate amount of time shutting down threads and suspending users, at some point it just gets too much.
Most forums have a long standing internet wisdom: no discussions about politics or religion. For a good reason.

I've never read that there. Strong objection to the accuracy of PCR testing, repeated highlighting of potentially missing and exaggerated elements of mainstream media coverage, but no pattern of denial of the disease in the slightest.
I've never seen anybody post anything about QAnon either and the rest of this list is shear smear as well:

Peter was in the lounge often to tell us mueller time was coming to drag away the Russian puppet...
So he knowingly shared a forum with these apparent nazis and did nothing about it.. but now he tells us with authority who these people were..

Why don't you go make some music instead of trolling. You are in the wrong forum if you don't want to discuss REAPER related things. Go to the new lounge

A quick glance over there shows credulous enthusiasm over a corporate think tank sponsored argument for herd immunity, signed by such illustrious academics as Dr. Harold Shipman and Dr. Johnny Fartpants. Also an unironic statement that BLM supporters are paedophilic child sacrificers.
So he wasn't too far off the mark...

This is what happens when crazy talk goes unchecked and unchallenged, and applies to the new lounge too btw. More groupthink and extreme nonsense from you and from them.
Bravo Everybody.
