I think this place is still trying to figure this place out.
This thread has, obviously, gotten an overwhelming amount of attention. I thinks it's where people first enter in, and bring with them what they're carrying.
It's only been a week or so. I'm hoping it settles in and settles down. More threads and topics will bring more elbow room.
I always viewed the Tav as a real bar. The threads were tables. Walk in, settle down, grab a beer, mull around, check the different topics at different tables, stop and say hello to a friend. Tables all over the place. And freinds, or their friends, or total strangers were always willing to have one more at their table. You could table jump or just sit down.
For now, This place(this thread) is like the day after they waxed the floor the night before. Someone pushed all the tables together.I would like to think that people will come in and grab a table and some chairs and find a spot to sit with their friends.
