Okay, maybe this is just a temp solution but I saw someone making use of a similar option and it seemed to work...kind of. For those that have land surrounding the "Impeach Bush" signs, you can put up walls around the border of his land but on your property. I saw someone do this but the walls had some texture on them. You can make them invisible, as well as the signs, by using this script. Put this script in any wall that you build: //The Better Invisibility Script //from Chris Knox // Slightly modded by Damien Took
refresh() { llSetTexture("e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ALL_SIDES); llOffsetTexture(0.468, 0, ALL_SIDES); llScaleTexture(0, 0, ALL_SIDES); llSleep(30); llSetTexture("e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ALL_SIDES); llOffsetTexture(0.468, 0, ALL_SIDES); llScaleTexture(0, 0, ALL_SIDES); }
default { state_entry() { refresh(); llSetTimerEvent(5); }
timer() { if ((integer)llGetWallclock() % 60 < 10) { refresh(); } } }
When you leave the sim and come back in you will not see the signs...or much else behind the wall except for land and sky. But hey, it's better than "Impeach Bush".

I want to compliment everyone who's been posting in the last 20 hours or so for the good discussion of what the renderer might be able to handle, and possible interim solutions.  Keep focusing on the solutions and we can beat this, and in the meantime score some great land owner tools.

From: Jakkal Dingo I've seen two suggestions that I like for dealing with this, since SL won't. I think it was Hiro's idea to have everyone that hates the sign to IM the guy once a day. I mean hell, that's a lot of spam we'd be giving them, and there's nothing wrong with IMing someone!
The other is what our neighbor did, it's pretty funny. Have a screeny: *laughs* Hey, that'd be the far end of my church grounds! Hello neighbor!  I don't remember off the top of my head who made that mafia sign; but I liked it enough to have it on my own land as a bit of protest. The creator was kind enough to drop a copy on me when I asked; the one my lot is set freely copiable. Perhaps I'll try my hand one day at making my own protest sign; looks like I'll have no shortage of time to design up a good one. Who knows...maybe someone can organize a contest for best Impeach Bush Protest Sign. As far as those bright-blue eyesores go, I'm just biding my time and hoping that a decent solution will be brought to bear. I really don't want to tangle verbally (textually? IMingly?) with the guy as I'd rather keep any ugliness out of my IM window and contained on his own small lots.

Hey Eryn, your group, the Anti Lazarus Divine Initiative, is one short of having enough members to get a group forum made.
How bout finding one more person and making a place for all the Impeach Bush threads to get stuck?

From: Sherrianne Hailey Hey Eryn, your group, the Anti Lazarus Divine Initiative, is one short of having enough members to get a group forum made. This is ironic, because the other day, two members were kicked out of the group, one of them being Lazarus himself (go figure!).

I see like, a dozen "Impeach Bush" threads on the first page of General ...
... this is still the most viable solution that's been presented.
