Keli Kyrie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Did you know we are invisible to all visitors? You have to be logged in to see the Off Topic Forum. I logged off when I went to lunch and when I came back I tried to find it without logging in. Can't be done, haha.Not Logged in:Logged in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindira Galatea Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If LL intended that or if it's just lucky chance, it's a good thing for LL and SL, that you have to be logged in to see the "Off Topic" forum. I'm pretty sure that the last things that Linden Lab wants is to have our off-topic discussions catalogued and distributed by Google, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Danube Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 LL wants to maintain a happy image and they are 'learning' from their experience on GD. I would give 100% Kudos to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Clarence Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I think it's brilliant of LL to not put this on the viewing page. +1000 kudos to LL You MUST login to read - fantastic. No excuse for anybody to not like the content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 That really doesn't bother me at all and it might even be good news. If in fact LL does not want their casual visiting audience to see what looniness some of us get up too maybe that means there will be a general tolerance for looniness, at least on this little side branch.

Cato Badger Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You will probably find that the Google bots don't mine Off Topic and even that the Teens can't get at it either. If anyone knows a friendly Teen you might want to check that out. It's the way we work it on the forums for the sports club I belong to - the kids behave childishly in open view of the public and the adults behave childishly in private.

Cato Badger Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Might I point you at the Guidelines which do not merely refer to Redzone operations regarding uninformed and unsubstantiated accusations regarding the use of alts? You may wish to edit your post, and I trust that there won't be any immediate need for referrals to moderators of any libellous suggestions from you or anyone else who has been in the habit of slinging wild unfounded slurs around. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Morani Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I believe that's actually the best possible solution, and it's definitely one I can live with. It's win-win.

Maxine Kohime Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well, they try to mute critical voices, another attempt of LL to ignore thier customers, cos we cant voice our concerns to the public now... Youre sooo great LL!^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Badger Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Maxine, I think this represents a reasonable compromise on LL's part. It would be really stupid of them to sponsor an enironment which might reflect adversely on their business, but it would be just as shortsighted to censor informed critical feedback absolutely. If anyone wants to criticise LL publicly then they should find another venue to do so. I understand that Wasted has a whole website dedicated to explaining his position vis-a-vis LL - or at least, trying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre sooo great LL!^^ I disagree. This is an example where LL listened to their customers (us) when so many of us asked for a GD-like place. If one must log in to read the content, so be it! I think it is a great compromise. We get what we asked for and LL can show a 'preferred face' to the outside public. We still have the Feedback forums to speak 'directly' to LL who, right now, are listening and listening hard. Also, I would suggest that if you have any concerns, you try to attend one of their Community Tools User Group feedback sessions held on a regular basis. There was one yesterday. Unedited local text of the session is always available soon afterwards. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Community_Tools_User_Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Solo Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I think it's very cool. LL didn't HAVE to do this. I even enjoy being given the title of Honoured resident. (spelt properly of course - well u can't have everything now can you ^^) It's good, LL has listened and delivered. The marketplace appears to be having a little spurt too. Good times all round so far~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
