I hate this. I really do. Lindens are idiots.

Dunno where I will end up but I will miss these forums and the people that made them so special. Even the ones that made me want to pull my hair out and scream.

/me hopes she will run into you all again.

Lexie Linden just posted in the closed 'just ignore and let this one die' thread that there WILL be a general discussion area for us once this place closes next week.

i'm going to try it out. you never know, it might be ok - IF it's not the same layout as that goofy blog place.

Yes, it'll be the same layout/format as the rest of the blogs, just different channels similar to within the Commerce Forums over there.

Last year I reduced my involvement with SL radically 'thanks' to the way LL mis-handled just about everything to do with residents.

I thought I might come back, but they kept putting me off with more and more anti-resident policies and decisions.

To say, as Blue Linden does, that they have made 'plenty of tweaks' to the jive-arse software is just one lie too many. I've just had it with LL and will soon be withdrawing from SL altogether. No, the sky isn't falling by any measure, but it's the final straw for me. It just isn't worth the hassle.

Obviously the blogrums won't be good enough to support SL community but... it's technically possible to add forums links to 3rd party viewers... so there might be a solution there.

I agree, it's bad. There are people who think in paragraphs, and forums are their natural home. There are people who think in sentences; places like SL are their natural home. There are even those who think in abbreviations, like "K" and "CU" and so on; I am not the kind of person who can sort out where *their* natural home is... but I think LL know the business they are in. Their community isn't here - it's in SL. Their provision of community services isn't focussed on aVBulletin rollout - any chump can do that. It happens to be a humungously vast 3D virtual world with avatars staggering about in it.

Which overall, counts as a pretty sizeable piece of work in the field of "creating communities". So the choice we have here while mourning the passing of this home-forparagraph-thinkers, is to use the tool we all share to perpetuate this community.

So; why not just drop by the Forum Cartel Hangout, and grab whatever or whoever is there and "commune" that way? Is it really such an imposition?

Because most of our employers won't let us do that... not to say we would be checking the forums while at work *cough*
