| When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | bagleworm | 3/30/12 7:40 AM | ... All that's left is a hundred "how do increase pageviews?" threads. I thought that was the very thing you wanted to prevent? It's no skin off my back if the new off-topic forum drowns under a sea of link-dropping spammers, but there really is no |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | aka alex | 3/30/12 10:22 AM | I was hopeful that this topic would get attention, but then again I was hopeful that this was a REAL off topic forum. Seems it is only off topic for the google team. They LOVE SPAM it is worse here than it ever was in the REAL Coffee Shop. This place |

It's just so much easier to hide behind the badge and hope that folks will just get fed up and go away. The saddest part is that the threads in which folks are valiantly tryin |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | DayDreamer | 3/30/12 1:55 PM | Exactly, where is the integration and community building if all the posters are one offs just asking how to increase page views. Post after post of the same but no community, blogger or otherwise. I don't want to join Google+, and don't even know muc |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | Nitecruzr - Blogger Top Contributor | 3/31/12 10:28 AM | Alex et al, For several reasons (some I don't agree with either), Google decided to move their product support forums to the GPF platform - before GPF had been fully developed. We are still awaiting some key features (key to us anyway) to help us m |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | aka alex | 3/31/12 2:33 PM | Ok, that was a lot of scrolling, but why call the old one Pistachio? |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | K.V.S.S. | 4/1/12 12:35 AM | I do not find good amount of conversation here. Compared to the millions of bloggers, the people who participate here are extremely limited. We know that forums can become places where links related to unwanted sites are dropped and many times contro |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | Nitecruzr - Blogger Top Contributor | 4/1/12 11:19 AM | Alex, The old one used the Pistachio infrastructure - and the new one uses the "Google Product Forums" infrastructure aka "GPF". The two are completely different infrastructures, and are developed from the ground up. I don't know why they called i |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | Leroy Quet | 4/1/12 11:24 AM | Actually, I personally have not yet had to deal with the infamous infinite scrolling, thankfully. But... it isn't like Google wasn't warned about this issue -- remember Legacy trying to warn us all? PS: There do seem to be quite a few bugs with the n |
| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | aka alex | 4/1/12 12:42 PM | Nitecruzr, now I get it :) I just thought maybe you were calling us little nuts or even worse little green nuts. btw my parents called me alexia... Now everyone that likes me, calls me alex. The endless scroll doesn't bother me because we of stars |

| Re: When you lock, remove and discourage casual discussion... | ElleArt | 8/7/12 12:03 AM | Thank you Sam! User discussion and or conversation is clearly not the intent. Why is The Coffee Shop even here? It's misleading. There is no purpose for it here. The Coffee Shop is CLOSED. |
