Linden Labs sure has a style with their wording making some of the simplest things sound so sophisticated and complex and sometimes hard to understand. So in our appreciation of the linden downtime language...please share your favorite linden blurb with the rest of us...

Ummm.... this one from upper management...? :D

From: someone
Sometimes we run into a series of bad luck when it comes to downtime....

Again - we're very sorry for the downtime this week. We will be making changes to the release process so the frequency of downtime should be reduced. We're also looking at ways we can deploy new features or fixes without taking down the entire grid.

I loved yesterdays one, just before they logged us out they sent something like "Assets lost" and then we went bang.... such a reassuring one to give just before u kick us!!

LOL. Yea that was pretty hilarious.

Agreed on the typos. You can almost feel them trembling as they stutter out a message or two while having a hoard of angry SLers booted out

that like happened once right? I remember getting 500 lindens or something one time because I was online when the grid went down. But dont hold your breath of those kinds of kickbacks these days with the widened user base.
