What you fail to point out is how addictive that "New posts" button can become...
...or is it just me?

Yes between User CP (subscribed threads) and New Posts, your virtual 2D soul is forfeit

OK. Well crap. I'm a little worried about this one.

OK - Here goes. Give me a few minutes to write up the letter and the rating. I'm probably going to get banned for this, so it's been nice knowing you all. Someone please tell me Robin has a sense of humor...please?

Robin seems to have a sense of humor, but I've only interacted with her at her office hours, and Lindens have to be pretty guarded there.

Rating Robin would certainly not get you banned.

However, consider this, which I DO know. Robin has instigated this forum improvement program over the objections of some at LL, who would prefer to simply close the forums. She is VP of Marketing/Customer Experience. Many at LL will read that thread of hers. I question whether it would be wise to embarrass our advocate in front of peers who may oppose her backing of the forums.

But then, perhaps I am taking this too seriously. You're an adult ... do whatcha want! It would be funny.... but ... *worries*

derailing the one thread the Lindens have started in 2008 might not be for the best though..

Maybe post it in Chris's mirror thread here in RA.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I'm simultaneously doffing an imaginary cap and tugging an imaginary forelock at the sheer splendour of Trout's post. What fun

Too late.

Double dog dare *infinity must be completed. I'll move it if it get's out of hand. The thread went right back on track, though, which is exactly what it should have done. Robin rocks for taking this on. The forums desperately need some reworking and we need these forums. Hopefully, something good will come of this.

It will be after my time:

Dear Trout: We regret to inform you that a Linden Hit Squad has been dispatched to confiscate your computer and smash you on the head with it...

LOLOLOL! On reading it, and your subsequent post Trout, I think it will be fine. I hope someone sends it to Philip! I'm sure he could use a laugh after his testimony this morning.

I would bet that Katt, Jeska, and a couple of other Lindens are subscribed to the thread. How long, I wonder, before your letter hits an internal bulletin board at LL? EVERYBODY checks their mail before going to lunch, right? So, maybe an hour?

Trout will be happy enough if he can still log on tonight.

Wait - what do you mean so much for me being the new CEO? I'm submitting that instead of a resume! Plus, I'm taking the Board of Directors for naed bi-plane rides. We'll be strafing the hangout later today. Then after that, we'll go out to lunch at the Taco Bell (it's two-fer Tuesday).

I think I'm a shoe-in.

That's not a safe dare... doesn't promise he won't then take the cieling and such with him, or anything of that sort.

He can be a crafty one >.>

I should have mentioned how badly I hate "Recreant" and how much I would love them if they would change my name. If I thought that it made it onto an internal bulletin board at LL, I swear, I would be in heaven. That would be the crowning achievement of my time here on SL and in the forums. Which goes to show I haven't achieved much, I suppose.

Anyway, it would make my week

I didn't mean I was actually dying. I meant that I no longer have any self preservation instincts. Once you lose the will to live, life actually gets more fun. You can do all sorts of kooky things and not care about the actual results.

Fyi, Katt Linden has posted her "Hello!" over in Robin's thread.

Btw, personally I do not believe Katt will be doing any moderating herself --- if she really is the new "Communications Manager" (which has yet to be said out loud by a Linden), then when I read the job req a few months ago it included responsibility for a number of outbound PR/marketing vehicles, including the Blog, Webcasts ... sort of a Director of Product Marketing role.

If that is her job, then presumably she will be putting together a program for the forums, but not necessarily participating herself.
