Entered the living room this morning and I immediately noticed the giant splash of water near the back door.
The rain is seeping through the ceiling through a leakage that seems to be about a meter wide 
It's been raining for about a month, but never had this problem until last night.
This sucks big time! (not quite the expletives I uttered this morning, but let's keep it civil)

I know it is not the best answer, but if water only drops from the upper side, be happy.
It could come as a wave through the doors, bringing mood, oil from the crashed cars and many other things (like fecals, dead animals or similars).
We have had the strongest rain week of the last years, the basements of most houses got full of water, a colleague lost his car, another one had to be evacuated... luckily I wasn't directly affected
Damned extreme weather

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Yeah, could be worse, although floods like that don't really happen where I live (well, not since "the disaster" of '53).
We've had the wettest May ever, so it's kind of weird it only started leaking now.

Luckily no floodings at the Mosel river where we are on holiday at the moment near Traben-Trarbach, also the weather is fine since our arrival last friday.

Could be worse - if we notice a puddle on the floor somewhere, it's usually one of our cats.

That was my first thought too.
Not sure how cat going pee pee is worse than a structural defect in your house though

Sheesh, I thought you were talking about a memory leak in a program!😳

i'm sure there's an ointment to help with leakage.

Why do people go out of their way to answer questions that we know should be in a different forum with people we know abuse the system? Like, what's the impulse to be the sucker? Not really referring to peeps we know who don't do nothing but abuse the system over and over, but to those who blatantly do not care and 100% of their posts is nothing but questions in the lounge.
And sure, we've all done it at times (myself included). And at times I'll attempt to help if there's no forum suited for the query in question that I know of at the time of replying and it's someone I know. Like for instance, Sander just had a networking question and only now do I realize there's a hosting and servers forum. Oops. So, I guess I'm a hypocrite. 
But, we know Sander and know he's not intentionally breaking the rules. Can't say that for some in the lounge (won't mention his name). So, why? Surely, doing nothing but answering tech questions to people exploiting this fact is not a dev's idea of being "social"?

Not to mention there is still someone trying to answer his questions in appropriate forums...

I think it's partly because folks know their post will be seen pretty much immediately in The Lounge.

^ This.
It's not laziness, it's just increasing the odds someone that possesses knowledge on some obscure/very specific topic will see it and offer a response.
Who in his right mind regularly looks at all the forums?

I think it is nothing more than people liking to help others. Sure, they should refer the questioners to the appropriate forum, but in many cases it's much easier to answer the question.

I have an idea/suggestion/solution: it shouldn't be too difficult to give a select few (editors, protectors, whatever) a tool to move a thread to the appropriate forum, eventually informing OP of the change of venue. Not only would this free the lounge of the occasional misplaced thread, it might also breathe life in other forums. In particular, the forum you mentioned, "hosting and servers", hasn't seen a new message since October of last year.

You and me and probably a few more out of the nearly 16M registered members.
The one steadily enforced rule is "no programming question", not "use the obscure forum that was created for that one time someone had a question on that topic and nobody even knows exists, which now includes the guy who created it in the first place". For a software developer site, "Programming vs everything else" seems pretty straightforward to me.
When you have too many subgroups, the end result is that nobody will see the post, and the poster will never get a response.
I'm 100% okay with the current arrangement.
Maybe what we need is some way for an admin to move an entire (non-programming) thread to a different forum, after the fact, if it contains some information that could be really important and useful to a significant number of people, and we don't want to let the thread scroll out of view, get lost in the noise, never to be found again.
But I sure wouldn't want that job.
