It's so touching to know that my dumbest ideas are remembered almost two years later.

I lived in Mocha at the time. I was but an impressionable young newb. *sigh*

You know, Lillani, not one of the many charities which I support provides for those in less fortunate circumstances the ability to play games on the internet. Can you recommend a good one so that I may assist in alleviating this burden?

Exactly.

And hopefully no charity ever will. Charity starts at the cupboards, not at the keyboard of a powerful computer, high speed connection, and a computer game/virtual world.

I'm sorry to read about peoples' negative experiences in Second Life, however when such posts are grammatical/spelling/punctuation train wrecks, they make me giggle a bit..

I can just picture the woman sitting in front of her computer chair, her face all red and flustered, her head twiching in uncontrollable spasms of indignation every 5 seconds. A frown of injustice and self-pity streaks her face and she pounds the keyboard as hard as her vienna sausage fingers will allow.

She shakes her head as she recalls the injustices done to her.. the only thing now on her mind is to type as fast and as incoherently as possible before she might accidentally forget one of her important points of flawed logic. Enter key? Tab key? No time for such!

Finally after minutes pass, she takes a pause to read back her last line of English language bastardization which she believes is the cornerstone thesis sentence of her post. A sigh as she is moved by her own elegant ignorance. Enough rest already, it's time to resume ham-handing those plastic keyboard chicklets so that she can finally inform the world of her nonsensical grievance. Without skipping a beat, she shoves the approaching cat off the corner of her computer desk with the back of her hand. Not now Mr. Fluffenstein, not now.

A few more minutes goes by, and the beads of sweat slowly begin to collect across the large expanse of her receding-hairline brow. Her hand slides across the top of her head, pushing down the oily strands of randomly uneven hair that have been springing up with every angry slam of the CAPSLOCK key. With a sharp exhale, she finally clicks the "Submit" button. A pause, a close of the eyes, and then she gets up to begin her journey to the kitchen. A half-pint of Haagen-Dazs will wash away all the pain.. all the pain..

AND....the Nobel Prize for Troll-Slamming Litiature goes to.......Katiahnya Muromachi!!!!!!!!! *stands and claps*

~Jessy

P.S Allana Dion's post over "Effort" took a close second. *claps again*

Goes to show most things are in the eye of the beholder, if you’re looking for Sodom and Gomorrah, you certainly will find it. If you’re looking for the genius and the imagination that goes into most of this game, it’s truly a fun and unique place. You get what you give in this online (game?) id call it a social experiment, but whatever you are looking to find wrong or right, its here.

I will admit it was a bit hard on the eyes to read but as usual the Second Life die hard faction and apologists circle the wagons when another unhappy customer declares they are quitting.

Instead of discussing why this person is upset. Make fun of the person. Pick on the posting style. Perhaps the forums closing is a good thing. It is plain that there is no room for unhappy people to express how they feel. There is a execption to this. If your a big name creator or a well known citizen of Second Life.

Here's an idea...

How about practicing what you preach?

You rail at us for not taking the OP seriously and denounce us as apologists for not listening to what they have to say, but don't actually comment on the original post and offer no solutions on how to fix their complaint.
All you do is haughtily finger wag and tut-tut.

As for your point, I think that most of the complaints WERE addressed and then promptly dismissed.

"Free stuff isn't free"? Um. Yeah. Ok. First off, there are myriad places to get free stuff for L$0. They're all over the place.
Second, those that DO charge L$1 do it to offset land rental. Greedy buggers, trying to actually cut down on monthy overhead by charging 1/3 of a cent for a tonne of stuff.

"You don't get free money for a free account."
Riiiight. Those greedy Lindens, refusing to give me free cash. Bastards.
In addition, with VERY little effort and a whole lot of fun, travelling, you can get a nice little nest egg to start uploading stuff, if that is your wont, by visiting money trees.

"There's no way to make money"
This one? Outright bullshit. Complete and utter.
Don't blame LL, or anyone else for an inability to make money on SL.
Blame your ancestors for not having the genetic stuff to give you any sort of talent. (not you personally, that was directed at the OP and his/her ilk who complain about stuff like this.

Finally: You don't need cash to have fun on SL. If someone is looking at it as a business venture, then they shouldn't be complaining about start us costs.
If they look at it as a game/enhanced chatroom, then what the hell do they need money for?

Any other points I missed?

Or will you just be continuing to sit on that high horse?
