Forums to Close, Somewhat
Posted by Simon Lameth on August 10, 2006
Robin Linden posted earlier that within the next month, the “Bulletin Board”, “General Topics”, “The Sandbox”, “Land and Economy” and “In-world Political Science” forums will be locked to all new posts, and then
- Announcements along with Press and Events, both of which will be replaced by the Linden blog,
- Known Issues & Development Updates to be replaced by Support > Known Issues, and
- References and Policies, to be replaced by the knowledge base as it is expanded
Long Term Changes
- The knowledge base and blog will take on some of the responsibilities of many of the feedback and content creation forums.
- The Classifieds will be closed in favor of Resident advertising and portal sites such as those listed on http://secondlife.com/landing fashion/, the In-World Classifieds (which can also be found on the secondlife.com website).
- Inactive group sites have been culled as time goes by; we expect groups will have better asynchronous communication options within Second Life with the release of v1.12, so the groups forums will be closed within the next three months.”
This sounds fammiliar… Oh, Wait! TSO closed it’s forums and had Stratics run the new forums! That resulted in the fact that moderators could now abuse members and not be fired by anyone for it.
Are the new SL Stratics going to do the same when the current SL forums close? Will we see any stapler-fondling Miltons, or Power-Abusing Leah’s? Will EA LL begin to stupidfy itslef and start becoming more like EA?
We here at Metaverse Media have decided to add into next weeks redevelopment with this news that our forums will be modified to be more user-friendly and not corporate-friendly. Hopefully you will join them when the old SL forums close.

This seems to be becoming a trend, people are putting their advertisements in these comments sections. Can something be done about these ad bots? There have been two in one day, both on this thread and on the Public Service Announcement thread
