How about a forum page for people to announce leaving SL or being sick, on holidays?

How about a "no replies" forum where people can just leave a short 1 line note like "on holidays 14/4 to 5/5" or "had a car accident", "can't get inworld" etc
For people in groups etc who wonder where they went.

There used to be one called Announcements but LL did away with it a long time ago.

There may have been one called "Announcements" for use by users, but I don't really think so; my memory says that if there was a forum called "Announcements" that it was for posts by Linden staff.

There was a "personal announcements, happy birthdays, get well, etc." forum called "Bulletin Board".

It would be a good idea. Since Katt Linden is in charge of the forum facelift, you may send her a PM pointing her to this thread with your idea. Can't hurt to suggest it. :)

That's weird, no one has opposed the idea yet :)
It must destroy someones SL experience :)
Dumb question time, where is the send PM button?

I just wonder how long each thread would get! If someones able to take a few minutes to post here saying they're sick etc, couldn't they just send a group notice just as easily? Of course, some might not be able to get into SL, but I mean in general.

Maybe we ahould have a separate announcements tab in our profiles, in addition to our SL and RL profiles. That way people would be guided where to look for info on an absentee.

people can just post the stuff in resident answers


Since LL is never going to actually update these forums ...

And Resident Answers is now translated as "Everything you want to talk about"
