This site needs one to consolidate all the whining, becasue lets face it, everyone needs to vent on occasion and it would be nice to have it all in one place rather than infecting and inevitably drowning out helpful/constructive posts.

PS* I looked through the forum list and did not see one in particular to suit rants, please feel free to lambast me if I am wrong.

PSS* In the Inner Circle might be a good place for it, becasue most people will not scroll down past that first page to look for it.

If there was one, I'd never visit it

From past experience moding EQ forums, it would be "the most" visited. But im with you, I would stay out and enjoy the pleasent posts.

quality over quantity
and it just leads to other headaches
so I'd say probably not

From our experience at other Guru sites, heavily leaning towards a no here.

You know, I used to have a nice "rants" section on my old website (a continuation of the rants I used to post on ThemeStream, ages ago), and I've been thinking of resurrecting the idea for my current one -- it was pretty popular with my visitors based on the feedback I used to get. My own recommendation would be, if you want to rant, start your own website or blog and rant away. If you're good at it, people will read it. But that kind of writing on a forum setting tends to be very hard to moderate -- rants work best as "soapbox speeches" under some author's presentation and control, not as open discussions that tend to degenerate.

I like the idea. Then I can say WRONG FORUM hope it gets moved and NEVER see it again.
