Is this a clue to the Starax mystery?

You know what really, really pisses me off, and also makies me suspect he might be back sometime?
He could have sold rights to his entire project range to a third party before leaving (the wand probably being a special case, bearing in mind the sheer complexity and support issues for anyone) and cashed out with a very nice severance cheque... Like serious RL money.

Well certainly anyone who had a big shopping list of his stuff is

I miss Starax.

Why would that piss you off?

yes.

I still have a bunch of his works in my inventory from Krittannia. yay!/neener!

Starax strikes me as the type of person who would not be willing to sell over his creations wholesale.

I had saved L$7500 for a wand (almost there!), in anticipatin of it getting fixed and him putting back up for sale.

I don't know, still seems like bad form to just up and leave. What about all the people who paid him for his wand?

For months before Starax and I went seperate ways, I argued with him about the ways he used temp on res to get around prim limits (which is how it started with the ressers). Despite there being no formal policies against it, it is an exploit and unfair to others in a sim where such an object is being used. It sucks on resources too hard. He wouldn't hear of it though, despite my argument that one day Lindens would do something about it and break the high priced items he was selling, leaving customers who made those purchases out of the product AND the money. He point blank told me he didn't care about that. But continue to sing the praises of someone you don't really know.

As for why he left, who knows. Maybe he decided finally to go get a job.

Starax's Wand - the rich griefers tool of choice!
Don't care, it was fun.

Oops you forgot to flush

*hits the level on the potty*

*lights a match*

So bye Starax, hope the door did not hit you on the way out buddy. Thanks for screwing more than half your customer by leaving a broken wand and a host of creations hogging way too many prims to display in less than 4 sims worth of server space.

Wand this, wand that. What the phreak did the wand do? I have no idea what you all are talking about.

i dont miss him. For unknown reasons he hated me and he countered every single thing I said in these forums. So his counterpoint rhetoric is not something I miss. Especially when he did not have the decency to face me in person in SL and tell me what his beef was in the first place.
