Chat LoungeNon-travel talk

The idea's been implemented, that's great, but... I'm afraid the naming/labeling should change. Here are two arguments.

First, on the words "Chat Lounge". I think that, in a later stage (but already starting in public beta, I would say!!), we might wish to implement a real chat engine (Drupal [Chatroom] or [Buddylist Chat]?), offering several national languages chat rooms by the time that CR will be in public release. I can imagine that, by then, we would like to name that page simply [Chat Rooms]. Which means that we would actually do a better choice to change the naming of the currently added community section into [Travelers Lounge] or something. You, native speakers of English, no doubt, will probably find better alternatives.

Second, on the words "Non-travel talk". In my opinion, talks in this section ARE travel related, positively. They ARE in an INDIRECT way! Like conversations with new friends in a hotel lobby mostly ARE strictly travel related in the beginning, but tend to end in more personal experiences with reference to places visited, people met, music heard, books read etc. I think that "Non-travel talk" should change to something like "After travel talk", "Beyond travel talk", (talk or talks?)...??? Again, you will probably find better words to express the idea.

I would like CR to create a possibility* for bloggers to post copies of relevant "after travel talk" blog info to CR [Travelers Lounge] * for other users to publish "just beyond travel" talk directly in [Travelers Lounge].
