This resolved all my problems blocking adverts on SecondLife.com domains.

I am deeply saddened to read that not only was GD excised, but any such threads created will also be closed by overzealous moderators.

Now we have no choice.  The Official SL forums will become sterile and any camaraderie that would have normally occurred outside of the negativity will be very difficult, if not impossible, to flourish in this new environment.

In any event, please put down my vote for a much needed GD Subforum.

Agreed.

This is deja vu. They did the same thing before when they changed over to the Jive software. Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it .

Yup. Same thinking from people who don't actually have anything to do witht he forums or the community it supports. Round and round and round .. Maybe were supposed to talk about Second LIfe on facebook or something...

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.

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.

[Is the Avatar forum going to be the new GD?]

In the absence of a place to just chew the fat, the fat is gonna get chewed everywhere in every sub forum scatter gun, it degrades the value of the sub forums as they end up full of junk threads, moderator thread moving / deleting drama a plenty and a whole mess of in fighting in sub forums that previosly were actually very much on topic and very much useful.

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.

Yeah, No General forum, linear .. It's better than the old system technically, but you just ripped the heart out of the community. It's alsmost as if you don't want us talking about Second Life or something.
