Over the past months I've noticed how Second Life had been taken over by twits who think that they should run the entire game, and spend their entire day slagging their competition in the forums to accompish that goal. Second Life, to me, represented a great new way for people to interact and create. It was a medium never before explored, and a chance for something new and great to happen. I was wrong. SL is just another place for self-serving politics and disgusting displays of greed. This latest development with Ulrika's self-serving call for a "boycott" of her future competitor is a prime example. And then, when I try to talk about it outside of SL, I'm told "sucks to be you". I've had it. I have spent untold hours creating aircraft for this metaverse, but have yet to see a purpose in it. The only thing that kept me in SL in the last few weeks was the fact that I relied on it to buy groceries. Yeah, that's right... I relied on a game to buy my food. That was a stupid mistake that I won't repeat. You had a chance to create something new and great, but instead, you just fucked each other over as usual. I've had enough of it. I quit. There's no point fighting against the morons who drag down such amazing potential. Sad to see you go but, If you are having problems affording grocerys maybe you should get your highspeed internet and other things that you really do not NEED cut off but then again i dont know what you do in rl so you might NEED your computer. Remember bad press is better than no press.. You know how many probably went to slexchange just to see wtf the big deal was? Now as far as the greed goes i agree 100% not everyone can be like yourself and give away your creations for free. _____________________

You can't quit, cubey. Not allowed.
The aerodrome is like among the top ten places to be recognized in SL. Therefore, you can't leave. ![]() LF _____________________

I've seen your work, Cubey. You create amazing airships and share them with the world. The skies of SL are full of your creations. So this quote popped into my mind.
"Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against; not with; the wind...." - Hamilton Mabie Lots of people are working on many amazing projects in SL. Most of these people rarely make a peep on the forums. SL really is making a difference in many people's lives. Don't let the bad signal to noise ratio on the forums get you down. _____________________

Cubey, you're one of the few big names in SL I respect(besides some of the IRC big names -- but they don't count.
). Don't let this shit get to you. Build for the enjoyment, not the money.Man, I wanted to give you a plane too -- and now you're talking off. I hope you reconsider. |

I've had enough of it. I quit. Sorry Cubey, I've already placed a call to the gay mafia - you will not be allowed to leave the game. Oh, and they'll come help you redecorate. ![]() On a serious side, Cubey, growing a world ground-up is bound to have some issues and some personalities - some good, some not-so-good. We've all seen the bickering back and forth, but thankfully, most people recognize thier error and come forth with it. It's not going to be a perfect world, but it is a world which only those that participate can help shape. You and your skills are needed - not so I can continue to buy your amazing crafts, but so others can see what *can* be done. Please take some time to breathe, relax, and think over your decision to leave Cubey. You would be sorely missed. |

Cubey I gotta throw my vote in with the "don't leave" crowd. Your work is beautiful and you contribute so much to SL. I hope you change your mind.

Cubey, I'll rehash some advice I keep meaning to follow myself.
First- The world seems a better place if you step away from the "news" for a while (in this case the forums). Take a couple weeks away from them. Everything will seem a lot friendlier. Second- Sometimes it seems like the whole group or community you are involved with has gone sour, but it's not the whole group. It's always just a few specific individuals. They make out like their opinions represent the larger community, but they don't. Any attack or bad influence in your life can always be traced to a particular person. Disconnect with that one person, not the whole world. And Cubey, I hope you manage to get back on your feet soon, and make a good life wherever it may take you. ![]() _____________________

Everyone else is just as sick of Ulrika's crap and sees through it as easily as you did, Cubey. She is the exception, not the rule. Don't let people like her and attitudes like that drive you out of the game.

hehe, well, if you left I'd be loosing competition so....
actually, that's barely true. most people don't decide between vehicles they buy one of each of comparable models. though some take longer than others. Not to mention you're a bit more prolific than I am . so in truth I'd be loosing a sort of brother in arms :/. Anyway, I like you, so don't leave darnit!_____________________

Cubey, I hope it's not only about the forums. I rarely visit. SL is SL, not people writing about it here. Stay in SL and let me continue to buy your planes - I've only just discovered them

Awww Cubey.
Dont let the bastards get you down. No one takes those people seriously anyway. Do you actually think Ul's boycott will affect anything? The only thing it might affect is her ability to be a successful politician in SL. Think it over, take a breath and disregard the dingleberries. They are not to be taken seriously. *hugs* Taggy |

Don't you dare leave before paying me for that last shipment of faux leather for your aircraft seats. I've had a crew out all last week slaughtering the fauxcows, stripping, tanning the hides; there's no demand at all for fauxcow meat right now either, so the carcasses were just left out in the field, they're stinking my place up to high heaven!
Seriously, if you have RL stuff that you need to contend with, it's one thing. You're one of my consistently favorite creators in SL though, and I have a small collection of Cubey Terra aircraft. I look forward to seeing each new thingy that you create; if you're disappointed with how people are acting inworld or in-forums, take a break from the forums for a bit, and restrict yourself to hanging with friends and people you admire for awhile. Hope you don't leave, Cubey |

You wouldn't happen to have a lifetime account you'd like to sell?

I for one would be very sad to see you leave. I've never had anything but respect for you. I know my boycott post has upset you because I'm taking on your business partners but I give you my word of honor it is only to affect positive change. I feel terrible about hurting you.
![]() Still I want you to try and understand that addressing and understanding social and political issues is just as important to me as building planes is to you. It means so much to me! Please respect my right to pursue my own interests in SL. Please. Let's all take a break for the forums for a while and come back when we're feeling better. We'll have a group hug session. ~Ulrika~ _____________________

Hello friend, fellow hot air balloon competetitor, and overall good egg!
![]() Take a break from SL. Especially, take a break from the forums. Everyone deserves a respite now and then. You are an extremely talented designer and scripter that I look up to in SL, and I would sincerely hate to see you leave the place that we all dream about becoming the Metaverse. Get some rest, refuel, and come back and see us again when you are ready! ![]() |

I've said it before, but I'll say it again... LL needs to clamp down on these forums. These forums are not an integral element of SL. SL should be able to exist without the forums. The forums should be the accessory to SL - helpful forums. However, for a few people, the forums have become the "Main Event" with SL becoming the accessory.
I wonder how many non-forum goers in SL would recognize many of the names frequenting these forums. To me, there are two separate SL worlds, in-world and forum-world. And I don't see any of the forum-world residents in-world save two... Cubey and Torley. As far as I know, the others don't exist in SL. Of course, this statement may be slanted for me because I don't get out much beyond a few projects and the Welcome Area. Cubey, ignore the forum users whom you don't agree with. There's nothing wrong with that. Yes, it's personal censorship, but so be it for the betterment of your SL life. I don't think you came to SL or the forums to argue. If you have problems with folks in-world, then handle those problems... but don't let the forums get in your way. If you have problems with accusations made against you in the forums, then file a complaint - but don't try to take people head-to-head. As for forum-fighting, there's no reason a bunch of "bleacher creature"/sideline observers should participate in certain discussions of which they don't have all the facts. By the way, SL is not a democracy, nor a Republic. |
