Where is the lounge exactly?

First of all, congratulations! You will have a surprise in the Lounge 😉.

Now, you have reached level 6 and you are waiting for the access to the Lounge. Hosts have to allow you the access and this may take some hours, like in my case, so do not worry. You will receive an email from the hosts soon.

The link you have indicated is for the Full Host Bar, which is a forum inside the Lounge. When you get access to the Lounge, you will get access to three forums: Full Host Bar, Water Cooler and Community Operations. There are posts that will explain you how to use them

This is the link for the Lounge > https://discussions.apple.com/community/lounge

At the moment, you should get an "Unauthorized" message, but soon you will get access to it. That's all you need to know now

See you later there! 🙂

Congrats on making level 8. Be warned the lounge (especially the WC) is not for the faint of heart.

You obviously haven't been tasked with cleaning the Goat's mess yet ;-)

It may take a day or two before you receive the key to the inner sanctum.

Its the weekend (and Thanksgiving weekend at that) Most likely the key bearers are all asleep and won;t stir for a day or two.
