Lounge area?

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but it seems to me that while the NAS message board is a valuable resource for autistic people who are struggling and need support and good advice, it doesn’t really offer a separate space for autistic people who just want to interact with others like themselves and chat about shared interests. In light of this, wouldn’t a separate “lounge” area be a good idea, similar to those I’ve seen on other message boards like science and philosophy, etc?

    Yes, I agree, but wouldn’t it be easier to go directly to a space where all the non-crisis, non-support chats are and simply browse through what’s there? Not everyone necessarily knows how to filter, and you have to do it every time, which can be a bit of a hassle. Also, the particular filter one uses may not catch all the casual chats there are. Anyway, if people aren't interested we'll just forget it.
