Suspiria1488303077 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm thinking there isn't a GD for a reason. :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima Rang Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think we do. Entertainment seems a suitable location for GD's :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjafoo Ng Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The ommission of GD is no accident. It's a decision to try and focus the community into only talking about things that are positive and useful. But then you have no community chatter, you have no community.

Derek Torvalar Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You may use this Entertainment forum for GD. Or the Avatar one. If both then we can have flame wars between which is the bestest GD. I vote entertainment. :robotvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think the Second Life forum will be the 'new' GD. There are topics one can pick and any number of them can be used. I do not see why we should limit ourselves to one topic. I will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finora Kuncoro Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The loss of the GD forum seems no bad thing to me. I'm sure there will be enough community chatter in the subject forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC Short Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Since most of us found GD to be entertaining, I figure this is the perfect place for the new GD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Kasshiki Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not really liking the fact that there's no GD now. I understand the reasoning, but if people want to be uncivil they'll do it regardless of the arbitrary new forum structure. I suppose people will gravitate to wherever there are discussions they find interesting and there will be a snowball effect creating a de facto GD. Here's hoping anyway.

I'm sure there will be enough community chatter in the subject forums. That's not a good thing. There are already at least 3 conversations going on about where were all supposed to post non specific stuff. In the absence of a general pool, every sub forum becomes the general pool. The forums use as a resource is compramised and the only option is to moderate with a heavy hand to keep the sub forums on topic. You end up with threads being moved, threads being deleted and a whole mess of resentment that drives the people most useful to the community as a whole away from the community. The general chatter will never die down, the people who are very subject focused will just give up and find a better venue. The signal to noise ratio is what matters, no general discussion just added a lot of static everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQ Darwin Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I do understand the lack of a GD in it's old style, that was actually brought on by the state it was in. But as a general place to chat about anything under the sun that's not covered elsewhere I lean towards Entertainment. I have a strong feeling that the free wheeling discord style of the old GD will be heavily moderated out and as a result we might have a nice spot to meet. Just to bring up what doesn't fit elsewhere. It would be our place so to speak. If this didn't fit with policy then okay that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Indigo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I imagine Entertainment will probably emerge as the nest GD - I mean apart from discussing clubs, pubs and concerts (yes I'm being a tad facetious) what else could one talk about in this section - apart from the things that make SL (and the forums) actually entertaining.
