LL's announcement that they will terminate the forums has drastically cut down on the dhrama and nit pickery that had become the forums.

There's nothing like fresh blood to satisfy the ravaging wolves in the street, and with the forums left to die a slow, torturous death, the wolves have moved on.

I proclaim these forums dead.

Hail Philip!

There's lots of alternatives out there. Use 'em if you miss the vitriol so much. ^_^

If by "brilliant" you mean "selfish" then sure. It means fewer interuptions of his precious Lego play-time.

These forums may die at the hands of their master, but luckily more than a few people have decided there is need for discussion between residents, something the actual Second Life client lacks. As an added bonus, some of these alternate forums give us a chance to interact with people who have questions about Second Life before their decision to join. As acommunity many of us want to answer their questions, and the questions of existing residents.

One such place is my clone of these forums on my Second Life Home Page Portal.

http://forums.slhomepage.com

Linden Lab may not want to provide space for the community, and think this move furthers their "platform" plan, but it is simply an indicator that while they can staff the company to pimp the system to the media, they can't pay to support the already paying community and their desire to interact.

Well you know, Philip did say awhile back that he wished he was able to spend more time in SL. Now that the forums are closed, maybe he can.

I don't consider that selfish at all.

Yes, the forums have improved massively since my first week here. Perhaps I joined at a bad time.
