I've read several places that LL is closing these forums.

Can anyone fill me in on what's going on or paste in a link?

Thanks!

Most of the resident to resident, 'casual conversation' forums have been closed already, such as General and OffTopic. Those forums were closed, and moved into an archive status last month.

As far as I know - no additional subforum closures are on the radar for the immediate future.

Edit: Here are the blog links:

Forums Take a New Turn

Several forums will be closed on Sept. 8

5 forums have been closed

Some more forum tweakage

They closed the General forum and then reopened it and renamed it "Resident Arguments" or something.

There are many third party forums more than adequately filling the gap where Linden Lab failed so dismally, such as Stratics Second Life, Second Citizen, SL Universe, SL Homepage, etc.

It's just unfortunate that Linden Lab don't realise the vast benefit of forums over blogs - not least the fact that you had to sign up to view the forums, whereas anyone can view the blog and find out about theft of personal details, grid crashes, exploits, bugs, loss of inventory, hacking, griefers, etc etc.
