The best bet is to never ever waste your time even reading the linden lab blog.
hmm... Today I posted a 'smart' reply to someone in the "scripted agents" blog. Shortly afterwards I got an email from LL, telling me that some of my model bots (the ones that demo on sex beds) are not allowed in a mature sim, and was issued with a 'warning'. It was either a very big coincidence, or people at LL sometimes take notice of what we write there :)

It would be typical. Skulk about and operate in the shadows, while untold threads with issues could have been resolved with a simple LL response just go on and on and on.

Debating on forums is a waste of time. Do you honestly think decision makers care about what they call "noise"? They don't. They don't read forums. Nothing. Forum debates are just a form of idle pastime entertainment.

.


I'm convinced that they choose some "gems" from forum, and share them over Appletinis and Rumaki at Wednesday afternoon's "TGIHD"....Thank God It's Hump Day Happy Hour.

More like the obvious result happened since you confirmed it yourself by flaunting your bots in writing. As for LL taking note I would lay odds on people probably filing a lot of ARs on you after reading your post lmao.

They can file all the ARs they like and they won't succeed. I've always flaunted my bots whenever someone gets snotty about bots, as that person did, and it's never been a problem to me. This time is no different. The guy stated that I'm gaming traffic - that was his objection. Nothing has happened concerning that. My 4 bots had to go because of something completely different - sex in public on mature land. If that guy ARed me for gaming traffic, he didn't get what he wanted. All that happened is that I had to remove 4 sex demo bots, which is something that I thought I may have to do anyway. I didn't know one way or the other, but I'd put more clothes on them, hoping it wouild help them survive. The other 6 bots are still there, and aren't a problem, except to those who would like to AR me for gaming traffic, which I don't do.

You've got them? I saw that they'd gone but I'd no idea where. But if you only have 5 of them, where are the other 67 that vanished?

A Yorkshireman goes into the vet's surgery carrying a box. Tell the vet he wants him to have a look at his cat. Vet says, "Is it a tom?" Tyke says, "Nay, he's in't box".

In other words, free prims!

What's not to love about free prims?
Well, slumlords can't overcharge their tenants for them. That has to be a problem, right?

Seriously answer: There was a very long thread on SC on a controversial topic. There was some heat, but not as much as you'd see here in the SL Forums.

Just at the point that I was going to tire of it and unsubscribe, someone engaged the person everyone was swearing at and began to ask serious questions and got serious answers. It was a good thing -- at least for me -- that the thread outlived the personal antagonism and got into some meat, and I ended up learning something about the motivations of people that I've considered irrational and rabid.

We -- especially we Americans -- have a rather thin skin when it comes to discussing or arguing or whatever it comes to be.

And by the way, "twat" is a swear word, and it's not native to California. I remember hearing it when I was a kid as the punchline of a very adolescent joke. An airline stewardess asks a male passenger if he wants some of her "TWA coffee" and he replies, "No, I'd like some of your TWA tea."

I smiled at that. Reminded me of a word heard but not written - "smeg"


Oh, smeg. Now I can't use Red Dwarf references in type anymore? :(

I too must agree with the idea that it's time to disengage as soon as you reach the point of calling somebody a twat though. Trust me, it may mean fool and other synonyms for such in some dictionaries, but in the state of Washington it means something entirely different. And as somebody from SoCal said, girls have them, boys don't.

If that's what you look like these days, I hope they have enough sense to stay right where they are as any attempt at escape could prove fatal. Are you feeding them well? Do they miss me? I do hope they miss me.

LOL...I remember hearing an old Dudley Moore/Peter Cook tape in College where they talked about Marilyn Monroe have
Lobsters up the bum".

Bingo. But I'm pretty sure Derek's lobster-afflicted employer was Jayne Mansfield.

Fox's litany of swearwords reminded me of another sketch on the same 'Derek & Clive Live' album where, as far as I recall, two old fogeys discuss obscene language and where and when it is acceptable. The dialogue disolves into an hysterical rant of foul-mouthed nonsense.

Laugh? I nearly shat.

I never laughed so hard since Grandma died or Aunti Mabel caught her left tit in the mangle.........

You are right, it was Jayne Mansfield.....wasn't there Chinese Takeaway up there as well?

They speak fondly of you. They are being well treated, and are looking forward to a time where they can return as productive members of society.

Well, for veracity, you could confirm the account of Lobsterissimus Bumikissimus here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpxJu4uJff4

I can't check it myself since I live in a YouTubeless zone. However, I saw a transcript and as it turned out, Clive was the administrator of lobster suppositories.

People of a nauseous or sensitive disposition should not attempt to follow this link.

Dunno where they got it from - maybe just made it up - but you have to watch Red Dwarf to learn the word and how it's used.
