Say what you will about the Lindens, but you can't deny that they all work extremely hard to keep Second Life working. I have always tried to keep that in mind when something breaks. I know that fixing something as complex as SL is never quick and easy - however, this recently came to my attention:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-11118
The Hippos are gone! Something must be done! C'mon everyone, they need our help! Vote for this to have it restored!
It's not a matter of overall stability for SL, it's a matter of pride.... Hippo Pride.
/yeah, I know I'm a day late...

voted on that a week ago =)
Though I think it's a sign of the times. Gone are the fun loving(well aged) lindens. They've been replaced with newbie corprate executive types. I imagine hippos was a bit of code Cory slipped into a nightly. With him long gone, no ones there to protect the hippos. =\ Save Teh Hippos!! |

The hippo will always be SL's official mascot. LL may try to erase his existence, but the noble beast will live on in our hearts.

residents will accept change, but it's unacceptable to attempt rewriting history. haven't we gotten past that by this era?

Oooh, oooh, can I Godwin this thread?
First, they came for the Hippos, and I did not stand up for I was not a hippo.... Okay, now, in all seriousness, I did not know you could do this thing with the hippos. I am sad now. Hippos are part of SL's heritage! They cannot be extinguished! Therefore, I shall vote on the side of the hippos. _____________________

I'll have to work up a shirt and a sign ASAP EDIT: I have passed out a shirt, a sign, and a Hippo with its own sign to the Forum Cartel group inworld. I'll drop one on you too, Suezanne. _____________________

I voted for the Hippo! I mean, they took away our box on head default. They took away our Ruth. I will not give up my Hippo!
