Ok, i do not see what is different about the main page now.


It's being tested at random times. There is a blogpost on it and a thread.

Supposedly the TAO has been updated too.

Yep, the TAO wording has changed.

A forum brought me back to SL when I quit. I couldn't come here since I had cancelled my account. After about 3 days, I decided to lurk at SLU, I stayed quiet for another day or two, the slowly got back into the conversations, and was bac here in 3 weeks. If I wasn't at SLU, I'm sure I would have been" out of sight out of mind" and would have never come back to SL.
Thanks for that Brenda. I have "quit" the forums several time as I ahve already said and I am not sure why I returned but everytime I do I am awfully glad I did :)

I know why I hang around the Forums so much... it's cause it's the closest I can get to SL while I'm at work.

How about discussing manners and attitudes in forum threads?
Or how I woke up a dead website and get people talking.

I would say that the forum is pretty lively, with or without you and your role is overstated. There are plenty of discussions related to SL that go on in here, but this is primarily a help forum. I'm sorry you seem to be confused about that. There is a lively discussion section at SL Universe, and you can discuss all manner of things without fear of LL reprisal.

Are they allowed to have children monkey's if they are allowed sex on webcam and use voice?


Yes, but is it cheating if you're under 30?

Cristalle as YOU may note I didnt start this thread. I was just on my way to bed when I checked the website and saw it. I THINK I make point about being qualified to say things in teh eternity thread just now replying to a person's assumption about my lack of qualification to even dare to ask such a question.

If it IS a help forum then why the "Just Ignore" thread which is NON- specific for most of teh time and is more about life in real. Maybe that is teh wonder of sl? That reality and sl arent too far apart? Anyway, teh sun's out so I am going for a walk

what i mean is, this is Jig's thread to do with as she pleases. nothing will surprise us. ;)

Saw the thread title, saw the thread starter and thought 3Ring was going to say that Jig was one of her many alts. And that "The Jig is up".

So how about that new SL Webpage? :rolleyes:


I recognize none of the avatars in any of the pictures, so it must not be SL. :p

I do have one wish as far as manners is that some individuals be it in forum or in world would grow up a little and maybe like to sites like Scarleteen and maybe get some education. Some of threads not pointing fingers on anyone but they do get a bit "Jerry Spring" -ish.

I know you didn't start the thread. I am merely responding to your narcissistic point that you "woke up a dead forum." It is hardly dead, it just didn't suit your desires.

And as for why all the off-topic threads? It is because we have no serious moderation here since Strife left. There are plenty of improper posts that remain here because LL hasn't bothered to care. When they outsource moderation, I expect that that will change.

Do you really think that's going to happen? It's already 3 months past when they said it would.

*shrug*

They have taken a greater investment in the forums in terms of time, so I think it will eventually happen. Maybe they are feeling the strain of the economy too. Who knows.

If it doesn't happen... well, life goes on.

Hold on there, missy...no walking away from Your Own Thread.

Let's stick with the "why we post" topic.

I post because these forums are like SL, only without the eye candy. They're a community, an extended family. We share information, which is the ostensible purpose. But the unstated purpose is the real reason I keep coming back: to be with my friends.

I logged out. Looked. Apparently it randomly gave me the same page I've always seen when I'm logged out. Instead of anything new.

3Ring's thread unless you also thought the thread was 3Ring saying she was Jig. :)

It's a line for Mel Brook's "History of the World." I didn't mean anything more than that.
