ZOMG! Imagine how much money is wasted on other useless activities. I say the only solution to ban all holidays and make mandatory 16 hour workdays without breaks.

So what is it you are doing? Posting vile racist comments to entice the Americans to read them so you can bankrupt their evil empire? Very cunning! :D

From the sounds of it, the OP has spent about triple their quoted number, being uselessly tedious. My advice: The Classifieds or any of the many job information sources here on the internet!

Good luck with employment, im sure someone will miss the 20 some hours a day you spend roleplaying a troll.

Well... it's a lovely day in the neighborhood so I reported this section of Cottonteil's post:

"That sounds a bit gay, but I get your point. I mean, happy gay. Not the butt banging gay."

And what else... oh I'm loving this hot, humid weather we're having in north america land. You?

Lucky for us, I only accept currency exchanges in pancakes.

This thread has cost me 45,000 pancakes.

You assholes.

In the wake of the post I posted yesterday, I did a very rough estimation that the time spent by the predominantly american population wasting their time reading and replying to it. It costed an approximate 10,000 USD. Here are the estimations.

600 views within a five hour span before it was closed for review. I'm assuming maybe 100 out of the 600 are either non-americans or just non productive, unemployed americans. So 500 hits.

Assuming an average person spending about half an hour reading and returning to it to read replies and lurking around. Also includes the requisite cliched parody post started by one of the posters.

This was happening during the morning. Many of the posters were posting or reading but not inworld. I know its a holiday, but it happens during workdays too.

Assuming also an average loss of productivity is around 50USD an hour, inclusive of wages, utility bills, rental and general overhead borne by the employer and the loss in potentially profitable and billable work.

So 500 x 50USD x 0.5hour = 12,500 USD.
I'll minus away 2,500 USD to be a bit conservative.

That results in 10,000 USD wasted!

I do hope that some find it entertaining and it was well worth it. I guess for a country full of excess, 10k is merely a speck of sand in a vast desert. But very likely the Lindens find that moderating and maintaining a general forum full of crap is a non-productive and non-profitable effort and those who participate are merely a small fraction of their customer base. Money best spent elsewhere.

Thats why we have the slave labour resmods to do the dirty work.


Long live the fake japanese.


You assumed 3 times too many.
