Hey everyone, would really like to know what your thoughts are about the FIC. It would
be interesting. As some educated decisions
about how to deal with the FIC would probably help a lot at this point.

This is utter forum spam. You already HAD a post about it open.
I may add that this post is not only intentionally trying to provoke a response (see: troll) but it also presumes there is a FIC. Enough, already, it's old. It's like slap bracelets and the macarena - dead. _____________________

I don't understand why people like yourself and Prokofy always try to cause divisiveness in SL where there is none. It's become a pathetic fixation that you have, and it's quite sad, quite tired, and just makes you look like a complete biased idiot. At least Prokofy shows some level of intelligence and wit. Get a new song and dance, Blaze. You aren't getting anywhere with this one, except more alienated.

Blaze, I gotta say... people would take you much more seriously if you didn't pull crap like this... or for that matter, post on, quite literally, anything and everything that crosses your mind. (This is something you've admitted that you do, so I'm not alleging anything new, here.) _____________________

I'd like to state that for the record, Delairen Baysklef and I enjoy the Macarena. Xylor, however, is indifferent. Although XyObjects would conceivably rez a giant Macarena dude.

My name is Delairen Baysklef, and I endorse this statement. hehehe Of course, the Xyobjects will only work if you aren't using one of the new shapes... Xy hasn't gotten around to updating it... Mebbe we should all harrass him until he does? Delairen |

I think so -- I'm biased, as you are even moreso, but Xylor is one of SL's finest scripters (in addition and in addiction to being an ex-member of FIC come 2003 A.D.). A much-vaunted and much-wanted update to XyObjects would be a big boon to the SL community. Innovations like it really push SL forward.

I think Xy left because he was too good. His scripts became like those Gremlins from the movie out of the same name, and multiplied after they were fed and exposed to water after midnight.
But seriously, put on the table for general discussion, I wonder what will happen to places like Classic Games Park? Do you know anything? It was one of the first places I visited in SL (after loading Top Picks) and will always hold a fond memory in my heart. My understanding is that it's been around for some time, and I think I was told that it expires this summer or something? I don't have much info at this point but am looking forward to more. Also -- and I hope Xy is aware of this -- concerning projects with much history in SL that date back quite a ways, Huns started a really thoughtful thread about the Kazenojin to get things up to the present: /82/2d/37401/1.html I visit Gray sometimes and it'll cool to see what happens. Also, what about the revival of Americana this summer? I heard they brought it back last July. I have a personal interest in builds that last this long and evolve over time because SL is such a transient place full of vibrant change, but that change can also bother some because of the rate of accelerative turnover leads to a type of Toffleresque "Future Shock". I therefore end up asking elder Residents in SL for their stories, hoping to learn from their experiences . . . Please ask Xy about this too, Del. Thanks!  _____________________

some educated decisions about how to deal with the FIC would probably help a lot at this point. This stopped being amusing weeks ago. A better thing to solicit educated opinions about might be what to do about people who go out of their way to try and incite intolerance and division within the community. I realize that you're probably trying to be satirical but here's a news flash for you... you're so bad at it that no one gets that you're trying to be funny. This kind of idiocy is harmful to everyone. It's petty and it's anything but humorous. Please get a new hobby, like maybe self flagellation. _____________________

See definition: troll. It goes beyond mere trolling. They specifically try to divide people into groups - feted inner core, content barons, this, that, whatever, it's all labelling and maligning people, for the sake of what? It is really tiresome, and such stereotyping of people is both ignorant and damaging in any environment, including SL. _____________________

Actually, he still really likes SL. He just wishes there were more hours in the day! (And that SL didn't conflict with WoW time....)I hereby vote we change the name of this thread to "Xylor Fans" and we all post a witticism about how cool Xylor is. Mebbe then he'll dump WoW and come back and play with us.... As for the rest, Tor, I'll pester Xy to respond to it later. Delairen |

Oh, I should have clarified. I meant, Xy left the FIC -- not SL.
Xylor fans eh? Okay here goes: "Xylor is so cool because he's a scripter, AND he's friendly too!" What a broken stereotype eh? _____________________
