When the GDT was set up initially, Stefan said he wanted them to discuss projects publicly on the development forums. Because there are also discussions where public input really isn't needed and often just makes it more difficult to get things done, they have access to global/staff connect. This forum has had its uses changed a couple of times while experimenting but we've settled on it only being available to the GDT and other global staff. It was set up for managers and dev admins to have access but this created huge logistics problems of adding/removing people non stop.

Any person requesting dev advice or help can easily ask for it on the dev forums/irc/testbed or in game. I really see no reason to set up a seperate public forum for GDT since basically the development forums do the exact same thing.
