Uh... What the hell? The General forum just jumped down right next to the Off Topic one? I know that General's getting some pretty "barely on topic" topics lately, but... uh... WTH?
Haven't we already discussed this with the Lindens, and everyone agreed that General should be at the top?

seems pretty appropriate to me that General is right next to Off Topic now. one step closer to my idea of everyone posting in Off Topic and Jeska moving them to General if they deserve it. would save her alot of work.

I presume it is an attempt to get people to use the proper forums.

I think the Lindens have just expressed their collective attitude toward GENERAL and all its works...

We've been over this road before, folks.
Remember the LAST time the Lindens moved the forums around in an attempt to "moderate" them? We ended up having newbies posting in all the wrong places because they couldn't find the right ones. Do we REALLY need to repeat history for the third (or fourth) time? _____________________

Moleculor -
Yeah... But if they keep putting it off, its only going to get harder to move as more users join up! *shrug* Its an evolutionary process. And besides, these forums are a free service that's provided to us over and above our SL accounts. As far as I know, the TOS doesn't guarantee us a damn thing outside of the game; so you gotta at least like the price for a place the Lindens give us to communicate, rant, coordinate, etc.... Even if it is abused a lot.  Take care, --Noel "HB" Wade (Tread Whiplash) |

I like the move.
It forces noobs to read the forums before posting every single trivial question in the general forum  _____________________

Are you sure it's nothing to do with the server being messed up?

I've taken a cheeky sick day today. I did that yesterday! Lotte, I keep looking at your "The first four letters of Cha'ham are Cha'!" comment. I'm not sure I get it, but it keeps bringing me to the same (probably wrong) conclusion. You don't live in or near Medway do you? |

You don't live in or near Medway do you? Thankfully not. It's a running joke on Kiss 100's breakfast show, so I thought I'd be obscure and use it.  |
