I also start at the last page and work forwards, looking for those small-and-honest businesses, after learning early on that the first page was full of rubbish, more likely than not. Plus, the first few big shops listed never seemed to actually sell what I was looking for anyway, despite claims to be the expert in all areas. I do this as well. I don't like large stores in general and love to find the out-of-the-way, unique, boutique-type shop. _____________________

I will be curious to see if it all goes away in the next 24 hours or if the signs are up there just to cover there own butt. What happened to getting traffic by honesty and hard work? There's lots of places that try to cover their butt by making false claims of legitimacy. I see it all over the place, and yeah.. it's annoying. As was said, honesty is fine if it's convenient, but that goes out the window for many people when the prospect of hard work, a lower search ranking, or a few lost $$ pops up. As someone who frequents your sims, I appreciate that the place is run legit, and the traffic is real. I like boosting traffic, buying from vendors, and donating when I can for places you can tell were crafted with hard work and passion, instead of gimmicks and cheats. |

If you want toys, but not boyz (though in some kitty-moods, those are the same thing, but...).  If you're looking for a club, or hangout spot - you need to know how lively a place is likely to be. And finding that gets really hard when the traffic numbers are false. I can't start at the bottom, and I can't start at the top... |

Looks like it's "dog,dog,dog,dog" eats "dog,dog", then ! eh...... LMAO? Okay, I know it is not the first time but you are loosing me here. The All Search gets screwed up and you are laughing your ass off. Last time I checked you were so in favor of a non-gamed search that even paying a person was making a person <insert your insult here>, and now keyword spamming is messing up Search All in the worst way, you laugh? Why is messing up search funny this time and a crime at other times? _____________________

Update on the place i mentioned on my rant. Funny the sim is still full. So tell me is it legal camping or her bots? 24 hour notice was posted 2 days ago. Why is the traffic now at 67k? Everyone that cheats will find new and better ways to cheat. If LL sees 24 hour notice are they going to get a warning? Freakin BS i tell ya.

I was in a friend's club the other day. Just next door a HUGE camping place has just gone up in the past few days. The owner of the place came over to see if my friend wanted to open a doorway from his club onto the camping place (I have no idea why). So I asked the guy if he was worried at all about having all the campers, since LL has nerfed camping. He had no idea what I was talking about. Then he told me that LL has no way of detecting campers or traffic bots. I was like, gee, I just look at my map.....where I see a tower of green dots would be a good place to check. interesting update, the new camping place next to my friend's club has disappeared. _____________________

I am not running bots anymore since Linden Lab changed the TOS, I am out "business" (few bucks) and probably I have to use my CC to pay fees unlike who is still running bots.

Why don't they delete the all search and make the classified a 1 search word.
Classifields are completely useless, make a vocabulary of search worlds. Now if I look for x I always find Y that is gaming the search engine using multiple search worlds. |

Has anyone noticed avs are not being logged off for being idle at the moment? I wonder if it is to balloon numbers with out the bots around.
