(Meh. Wanted to post this to THIS blog - not Common Sensible. LOL)
As in the words of the "Wierd Science" geeks: "She's Alive!"
Robin Linden speaks again with another update on the Linden Lab Blob. I mean Blog. yes, that which used to team and thrive with life and has all but withered away into a yawn-fest news-release outlet.
As suspected, a strong hint of the reason to move everything to the forums had a lot to do with anonymous idiots posting stupid, worthless garbage in response to Linden posts. Hence the 'ability' to add "authentication" top this process.
Wordpress always has had the ability to require authentication of some sort. And yes, I know Robin is likely referring to requiring your Second Life account name just like the rest of the web site.
Just as well. The Second Life blog has been a real yawner as of late. Hell, I am beginning to think that if I count all of my readers of this blog - the three regulars and the two that read once a month when there is a worldwide news blackout and they just can't sleep - I have at least one more that the Linden Lab blog.
Gosh-golly-gee-whillickers! I feel so special!

Update on Linden Lab Blog Revamp « Robin Linden: "I’m happy to report that we have some great things ahead for the Linden Lab Blog. We are on track with a multi-stage process of upgrading our Web presence, including both the Blog and the Forums. Our goal? To improve the information you get about Second Life and enhance our dialogue with you.
"We’ve put a lot of thought into how best to expand the usefulness of the blog and forums without slowing down the efforts of those working on grid stability and reliability. And, we’re making great progress with the project. One foundational change we are making is adding in authentication so it’s there for the blog as well as forums. This is valuable because it adds better security and uses Second Life names in a consistent way."
