When you read past threads on the forums its clear that there is unhappiness about about a small group of members who are chosen/featured/promoted by Linden Lab over and over and over and over.....
Reading all the articles and hype one would think the only builder of worth in SL is Bedazzle, and the only clothign designers worth mentioning are Aimee/Preen, Midnight Studio and Torrid.
I read the current thread on Stage Coach Island and found it incredible that once again Linden Lab singled out the SAME MEMBERS for promotion and special treatment. I looked at Philip Lindens announcement about Stage Coach where he said the builders and vendors were selected.
Yet recently it was announced that SL now has more than 50000 members.
WTF!!! WAKE UP LINDEN LAB!!
Surely there must be others you can promote, other builders who are worth tossing some promotion tidbits and money, and other clothing designers who are worth recognition.
WHAT IS WITH THIS DAMN set up incestuous relationship that LL has with Bedazzle, Aimee/Preen, Midnight and Torrid?
Isnt it time to welcome the other members into the inner circle of favoritism?
COME ON LL ITS SICKENING !!

well LL are just people and have their favorites, life is never fair but I know what you mean.
It would be nice to have events where everyone gets something nice and maybe usefull for just showing up though.

Bedazzle does not have a contract with Linden Lab. Bedazzle was hired by Swivel Media, after one of them saw Chinatown. The vendors were chosen by Bedazzle, and the selection of vendors includes a wide assortment of people, not just "Aimee/Preen, Midnight Studio and Torrid." Linden has kindly provided us with excellent support, and sold Swivel the necessary accounts and simulators. Also, to the best of my knowledge, neither Bedazzle members nor vendors are employees of Linden Lab

I heard that cursing at people wasn't a good way to get them to take you seriously...

I am sick of it and I bet others who work their asses off making clothes and building are sick of this blatent favortism too. Yet these people do not promote themselves. How many content creators have their own websites and domains for their brandnames? How many create full islands of decent compelling content. Umm, like a hand full. You seem to have a lot of background knowledge for someone who just came here in May. You must read a lot of forum history. Maybe you can go work with Eggy as a SL Historian.

I don't have a problem with LL having their favorites, they made the platform and can use it too. They aren't our gods or parents, just people who obviously like what they have made and I don't think it is a conspiracy or favoritism to 'be in bed with' certain people and groups.

I'm not sure I understand.
Who is the vendor in this situation? I didn't think it was LL.
Perhaps you could put together a presentation to the group that is doing the hiring and make yourself available for future projects.
As for the most prominent people getting contracts. That's life.

Except that Linden Lab had nothing to do with who the vendors are on Stagecoach Island. Bedazzle chose from among those they had good relationships with, which is their right to do so. They were not under any obligation to use anyone's content in the project.

It gets boring beating the crap out of the same successful people all the time. Feature some new meat for us to accuse of favoritism and special access! Minimizing people's accomplishments is supposed to be fun! Help us out here!

Or is that why you only have those same vendors on your sim in Aqua. You are one of them and your opinion is so biased its a joke

They provided us with some basic content that had already been made a long time ago - two catapults and some weird particle puffing machine thingy... heck, that one is older than me

Wouldnt you like to be one chosen, even some of the time, for promotion in a national magazine, or a newspaper, or for a build? I like your shoes and jewlery and i think it deseerves the same attention as the others get,,,,at least once in a while! Maybe every 5th or 10th article could be about a member other than the chosen few? Recommend a few builders once in a while for the client to pick from? I dunno..smells REALLY BAD to me.
