Lear, SLU has content forums I am fairly certain. And SCII made some new ones just for us!

I wish I'd known that a new forum here was an option before I posted. +1 for ignorance. I'll give whatever they plant here a good try before abandoning it. But I think I'll take this opportunity to investigate some of the others anyway. I think what you did was smart and responsible. There's nothing wrong with having a Plan B. |

I don't care if the poll is public. Never bothered with sc because I assume they don't want people like me there. As for the others I have never visited I probably will.
Why? Because it is necessary to monitor all SL related communications to understand what is really going on with Second Life. Which gave me an idea just now. Better write it down before i for.. damnit! |

This thread reminds me of the battle we had when they shut down the Xstreet forum for the Flog borum!
We battled and battled, but they still shut it down! You can see the results! I thought they would have realized with it's dismal failure it was a non goer but they seem determined. I moved over to the slapt.me forum after they shut down Xstreet and been there ever since. It does remind me of the old SL Exchange before LL took it over. Very much a community of real SL enthusiasts, shoppers and merchants. Obviously I voted for them! |

From their PoV the Blogs are a grand success.
Everyone there says yes, and if not, they are easy to silence. What could be better? ... _____________________

I say we go nowhere and occupy these forums and make them remove us by force. A sit in! Where's Scylla? Get everyone inside!  I'll hold the bastards off.   In all honesty, I have no idea where I will go. The only place for certain will be inworld when I can get there. For everything else, I have yet to decide. _____________________

I found SLU kind of mean-spirited, created an account at SC and promptly forgot my login info, went to slapt and have yet to make a sale (so I'm guessing it's mostly just vendors hanging out there), and I don't see a future in Avatars United.
I, too, will wait to see what the Lindens come up with before I chase around a dozen different forums just to try to keep up with stuff. For friendly company, I'll take the new Forum Cartel forum _____________________

I'm surprised that SLUniverse isn't scoring higher, since it is one of the oldest alternative forums. I wonder what is the reason for that? Could it be the negative experiences people had in the past when Josh ruled that forum? That is my first guess. Frankly, to me SLU seems to be about being part of the clique, so you can slam others. Every time I've been near it, it has seemed a very hostile place. (Of course, for that reason, I haven't checked it much, so I don't know if it has changed, or if there are some gentler areas I just never discovered). |

Probably not any of the forums. I just don't like any of the alternate forums very much, for a variety of reasons. I'll need to find another way to keep up with what's happening. Perhaps in-world groups, or Avatars United if it takes off. I like being able to keep up with what people are doing there, but that kind of depends on them updating their information, and AU not putting every accepted friend request back on the home page. It's like drinking from the fire hose. many forums I have read on do not offer the help you can usually gather on these forums, mostly they are useless insults to the OP for not knowing, or various other childish like replies. I am curious, this forum.... this LL action of removing, which I never heard about except in here.... Would that also mean the scripting and texture forums because those are valuable assests to the SL community and removing them would be like cutting off our right arms. |

Being in three forums at once leads to one observation for me: Each forum thinks the other two forums are too hostile/stupid to even consider. (=_=)
It's a matter of people. Find the ones you get along with and the place is no longer perceived as 'bad'. (^_^)y _____________________

I've been on SLU, but never really felt at home there. I'm not sure why. There are a few people I don't like, but it's not an intense hatered or anything. SCII, yeah, I don't like them, I'll never go there. _____________________

SLU isn't about "cliques". It is just people that are veterans of this business and can take a jab or two. people talk(ed) crap about thatotherlife and slapt too. All bullshit.
But given the way LL is allowing certain SA trolls to run roughshod over their precious blorum I can say if you think sc is bad well just hang around LL's forum on their blog. It won't be long before the real trolls are after you there. And if you try to take them on guess who will get suspended from Second Life? You. |

So I have now learned that it is not about cliques. You just have to find the right people and take it from the veterans.

I was in SLU for a while. No one was mean spirited to me personally, but I never felt at home. There seemed to be too much body function humor at the time. Too juvenile - too much like an infohub for my tastes. Sometimes I lurk there to watch all the animals in the zoo, same as I do at Ahern, but it gets old quickly.
SLCII was quite welcoming except for one raving maniac a while back. Chances are I will settle there or the Forum Cartel place. Or the one 3 was involved in. Was that one of the poll options? I lost all my bookmarks with my new Windows. |

I'm definitely not interested in a slice of censorship pie courtesy of LL, so I'll stick to the places they don't have under their boot heal.

I think you need to come back over to SLU and vent. LL property is not the place to do it, their communication management style doesn't allow for it. Venting there is preaching to the choir. What fun is that? _____________________
