Missed Connections

[Alwin Alcott 11,422]

it seems that in many translations the title "Missed Connections" brings confusion. It's seen as technical connection problem.
Perhaps little change in the title to make it more clear it's about people? ( subtitles seem not to be read)

Missed Liaisons maybe?

Missing

Have You Seen?

Somebody that I used to know  (I hate that song btw)

Friends Reunited 🤔  Oh wait that's been done

Where the hell is...

Actually the whole "Missed Connections" category can probably just be zapped - it's not like you would stand any chance of actually being able to make contact with someone you glanced over a crowded room on the forums. Much easier just to IM them.

I agree it's really just a pointless category.. the majority of people who are in sl don't read the forums.. so the chances they will see it is very low.  The chances they will care is even  lower..

Why is it that the user base for the forums is so low and doesn't have more participation?

I think in the case of Second Life, more people log in and seek help from groups within Second Life than come here to forums. I didn't know about forums until I'd been a resident of Second Life for a while. I wasn't a fan of forums generally. They're growing on me. Like a fungus

This is standard for most 'game's'; forums usually have very low participation except for the main clique groups that populate them. The population that comes here doesnt represent the majority of those that play the game. Most of the time people only come here if they cannot find any solution in world to their problems.
