Kanomi Pikajuna Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There used to be! Anyway, wondering if anyone is interested in forming a SL/LGBT friendly guild for Fallout 76! We would not use discord but maybe SL would be a more friendly communication platform. Thank you for your attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Wasn't that forum for games that were created in SL? I don't believe there was a forum for games outside of SL.. We did have an off topic forums at one time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If you mean there used to be one in the SL forum, I don't remember one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanomi Pikajuna Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Perhaps I did not phrase my query as eloquently as possible, but the gist is: where is the forum for current SL-ers to talk about other games? To possibly socialize and ally together in these other games? I was never a big EVE player but SL had an EVE group at one point, no doubt for other games too like WOW. Would be cool to meet some other FO76ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) There may be groups within SL that cover what you want, but there is no forum for it. You could do a search for groups that cover what you want. Edited July 13, 2018 by Phil Deakins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic Aeon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There is likely a Google Group for that -- or you could start one :D. Personally I would like the SL forums to STAY SL Forums :D. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanomi Pikajuna Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Android can't even deliver a functional alarm clock on my phone, so thanks but no thanks to that kindly meant suggestion. Talking about games outside SL shouldn't be some Potemkin Village scenario. Everyone knows other games and worlds exist, why should talking about them be discouraged? Unless this place has mutated into a Star Citizen echo chamber since I last left, but that's not possible, SL users are strong-minded iconoclasts.

Ceka Cianci Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Maybe you are thinking of SLU Forums? They have sections for other worlds and gaming and other stuff.. Edited July 13, 2018 by Ceka Cianci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford Mint Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well ok but I just don't get it. I go to a news site to get news, I go to Amazon to shop, here for SL and other gaming sites for those games etc. I don't need to see RL news here, I don't go to Amazon to read about SL and I don't go to a gaming site for politics. Segregation just doesn't seem like a difficult challenge to me, especially when a company that owns it, does so to further their own product. SL inworld can form whatever community as appropriate but the forum is run by LL and they have one goal. *shrugs* 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Trying to be smart about it is rather silly, because it just serves to make you look ridiculous. You have no reason in the world to expect the owners of a world to do what you want. You won't go into a supermarket and find directions to competing supermarkets, will you? Or areas set aside to specifically discuss other supermarkets. You started off ok with this thread, but now you're starting to look like someone who wants to be waited on hand and foot, and everything to be just as you want it to be. You won't find any support for that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Idea: LL could sell ads for other games on the forums, and charge us smaller L$ transaction fees. Also, LL could open a lemonade stand outside their RL offices, and lower our Tier fees again. Edited July 13, 2018 by Love Zhaoying 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Landar Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm in the camp of.."I don't quite understand why someone would go to the SL forums to read/chat about other platforms/games that aren't SL". Since you've not yet actually explained why, that's likely to leave folks with the assumption(good, bad, indifferent) that you're one of those "give me everything I want, when I want it, where I want it, how I want it, right now...logic be damned" folks...That's not going to bode well for you much of anywhere in life Why would you go to a car dealership and ask to see their line of washing machines? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to view it from the companies point of view: Why would they want to invest any amount of work, time, money and server space to host discussions about other companies products and draw attention to those? LL wants you to spend time and money in SL, not find more motivation to spend both in other virtual worlds and games...or worse, drag others with you in the process.

Paul Hexem Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 LL woukd never allow us to talk about other games here, because then we'd all realize how terrible SL actually is. 60+ FPS on ultra settings? Servers that cost 15 USD a month? It'd be chaos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a washing machine in the car, you never need more than two sets of clothing, the set you're wearing and the set in the washing machine. My next dishwasher will be one with two drawers. I'll load one drawer with a day's worth of silverware, and transfer that to the other drawer as the day progresses and I dirty everything. At bedtime, I'll start the dirty drawer washing. When I rise, that'll be the clean drawer for the day. This way I can free up the silverware drawer for more junk. I sorta do that now, but sometimes forget where the line of demarcation is between clean and dirty, and only figure it out when the fork is in my mouth.
