Wildly compelling and provocative, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Rehnquist Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The whole idea of having a GD forum is to keep the other boards on topic. Those are meant to be informative on a specific subject. Also by having a GD board would lighten the moderators work load in moving or deleting off topic threads and posts. But hey it's LL sandbox their rules. They will figure it out after a while, usually only takes them 6 to 12 months or so, sometimes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was leaning towards Entertainment as a meeting place. If that ends up being unacceptable to LL then I am sure they will let us know. Most off topic items are entertaining it was the rest of the noise from the old GD that spoiled the view. I find that the social aspect of a hangout (or lack of it) will limit overall participation as most new topics won't be seen by folks. They will come for specific interests by-passing the rest. Of course that can well be only my perception of things. Hense this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant really - what makes SL 'entertaining' is the interaction between people (represented by avatars). Without people SL would just be a sort of virtual Lego set (with better colours). It's the people that create the entertainment - either here on the forum or inworld. Personally I'm hoping that 'entertainment' remains the overriding ethos and that it doesn't descent to the 'dramatic depths' we too often witnessed in the old GD.

Aye to that. Although there were some who found that stuff entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Clarence Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I would certainly get a kick out of a new GD in the 'Make Friends' section (tab, sub-forum - whatever it's called!) Am I the only one that finds that funny?:smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
