Will we still be here? :(


I'm not going anywhere! :)

We'll just post pics wherever we are able, in addition to 3Ring's forum. I am sure our pic would do wonders for the new Answers thingie. :D

LL still threatening to close or upgrade the forums? Sorry, I am out of the loop of "things LL says that you can bet are BS".

From another thread:

/327/52/323713/1.html

From: Nika Talaj
Notes from Blue Linden's meeting 03 June: The Future of the Forums.

Other folks who attended, PLEASE feel free to correct these as needed. A gang of residents were there (excellent!), and Oryx gave Blue a notecard with a *bunch* of comments from folks who couldn't attend. Two Lindens attended, Blue and someone who seemed to be a supervisor.

1. The new forums will *not* be Second Life Answers. The Lindens referred to the new forums as "Discussions". I got the sense that they are in the early stages of planning. I personally felt that everything they said about plans, EXCEPT for the choice of forum software, could change.

2. Discussions will be based on the same software used for the blogs, Clearspace from Jive Software. ( http://www.jivesoftware.com/products ) The primary reason cited by Blue for not sticking with vBulletin is that with Clearspace they can more easily customize. They were vaguely aware of Firefox issues, and seemed very happy to see a Jira on them (WEB-982), using their Jira widget to post the description to chat. (please vote for it).

3. Format for individual threads will be fully threaded, as in the current Blog comments. However, forum navigation and other aspects of the U.I. are not yet nailed down. They said they have considerable freedom for the layout to be quite different from the Blogs. There will be a beta before release; they couldn't give any idea of when that would be.

4. Post text will be HTML, as in the current Blog comments (there was discussion on preventing abuse of this), and the post editor will be Wysiwig. Pictures will be easy to post, as in the current blog.

5. They are currently planning for your inworld profile to be your forum (Discussions) profile; there was some pushback in the meeting on that.

6. They seemed well aware that a decent Search capability is key (there really is nothing usable in the current Blogs).

7. After the new forums are launched (at some point after Beta), LL intends to close all threads on the current forum, but leave it up exactly as is for reference.

8. The categories in the new forums will be similar to the current forums. They were very happy to get the "suggested" new structure for the forums that we all hashed out lo, these many months ago.

9. They probably will be moderated by a third party; however, there was so much discussion of this that Blue mused about a follow-up discussion on moderation.

10. Blue took several informal polls on various issues, including forum-ban-equals-inworld-ban, and how to best migrate the current forum community. He really did seem eager for direct feedback.

bah. So they are finally serious.

LL par for course. Don't be logical and upgrade what is already working.. start from scratch and cluster screw the whole thing.

http://www.ning.com/

If it comes a glorified question and answer format like in Damien's post they are going to be left with the know it all crowd.

Ning is a kick ass way to go to continue the thread. Hosted pics, videos, forums, blogs, etc for free. Or did I read 3 already had something going?

Whatever the new forum will be it will be designed for corps and educators.

Kind of Naked, Sort of a Bathing Suit
06-04-2009 15:23
Was this a theme today? I noticed a few peeps posted some bathing suit photos and someone mentioned naked?. I guess this qualifies ;)

Yeah, Konu does not log in as Konu anymore - he is Duncan now.
