OK i think this forum is missing a General discussion section, and we should vote for one, hopefully with enough votes one will be made.

LL closed it due to the fact they don't like having their dirty laundry aired in public.
I doubt they would ever reopen it.

There is a greater chance for SL to acheive 100% stability than the General subforum being reopened.

Linden wants a place for residents to help each other with SL-related questions. This helps Linden out, and takes a minor amount of burden off their support infrastructure.

Linden has *not* shown any interest in fostering any sort of community on the SL Forums, and has been encouraging us to post those kinds of social conversations on 3rd-Party forums for quite some time. The more we try to post those kinds of threads here anyway, the greater the chances that they'll close this forum too.

Sadly, no one listens - and history repeats. :(

Are you aware that you are now posting under two names in the same thread? And that neither one of you is making any sense?

Is it Friday already?

In some places it is ;-D

Still thursday for me though... damn...

But to answer the question. They did have a general discussion before (it was called the sandbox which can be found in the archives). Basically it made the Lindens cry and at some point they were going to shut the whole forums down but decided to only take general discussion out.

Do I think they shoud bring it back? Yeah.. we can get all silly in there and leave resident answers to the serious questions.

LL has forsaken this forum altogether and has closed the General Discussion forum. This forum will be closed if it continues to be abused.

THERE ARE MANY GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUMS. TAKE YOUR TWO ACCOUNTS AND GO FIND ONE.

General discussion should be encouraged. The Lindens can take their eyes off that forum. I know they read the forums. Hello Lindens!

A General Discussion forum would defeat the purpose of being here. We're HERE to answer questions. If we moved over to GD, questions wouldn't get answered.

They do, whether they take note is a different matter but many Lindens have inadvertently let slip that they read the forums when I talk to them, or maybe they let it slip on purpose so we know they read them but they don't want to officially acknowledge that.

I don't think a general board is needed, there are some fantastic sites out there that cater for general discussion.

But this question does get asked a lot here, so you are not the first op, or most likely the last :)

The last Linden that I mentioned the Forums to ran screaming for the hills. I haven't seen her in weeks.

I vote yes but qualify that with a "but not until Strife gets some more help."

You've actually spoken to a Linden? A real Linden? *Face palms*

In a nutshell.

I compare our second level banter with shop assistants who are waiting for customers to help .. just maintaining interest enough to stay here.

You could make a group in-world for General Discussions.
