You are mistaken about the OpenSpaces, but that's another story.
No that's pretty much exactly what happened and people have been trying to paint that particular cow chip yellow and call it a flower ever since.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people will buy a Yugo and expect Mercedes class customer service. You get what you pay for. Private grids operated as tiny dictatorships? Like that was impossible to see coming. Anyone who hasn't experienced a "business owner" who operates in that manner obviously hasn't done a lot of shopping on eBay or in SL.

For the same reason that when people misused OS's by using them for the top 2 things that the list said not to use them for,and being reminded multiple time that was not there intended use.It was still all LLs fault when LL said our servers can't handle it so we have to change something because people generally can't police themselves. You're wrong. |

I would say it should be "fewer" to give us another thing to argue about, Sindy, but anyone who doesn't think much of Talarus can't be all bad, so I won't!

ROFL Wow I'm glad I read this thread. Amused the hell out of me (yeah go for it Briana, you big drama lover). Call me a troll while you're at it! /me wanders off amused to create my content, slamming the thread shut behind me But yet you came in the thread, made a useless post calling me a drama lover and left. So far a couple people are screaming "Drama mongering" and all that was posted was a link to a blog post for people to read, follow the info trail and discuss the matter if they choose. The only drama is the one being created by the people crying 'drama'. Go back to spending your $ at that money sink. _____________________

I think making this a discussion about the veracity of Prokofy is the wrong direction.
I think more important are LaLa's comments about not recognizing DMCA which are more serious than the issue of Simone's situation itself. _____________________

Well 2 weeks ago I bought a couple sims and moved into LCO. After a week of crashes, builds going poof, no search, group land powers don’t work, etc. I knew I had made a mistake. I wrote to LCO support to cancel my big sim, I was gonna go ahead and keep the $25 a month one just to show some support for them, I told them why I was downsizing and I got a 20 minute chewing out e-mail from the owner for not realizing how hard they worked or how far they had come. Ummm didn’t they just buy an already existing grid that runs on open source software? Lots of work there. Oh they turned on the money option, no that was on already, OH! they inserted new avatars. There you go. anyway, I found the e-mail very abusive and rude, in fact I thought I was reading a teenagers forum roast post instead of a business reply from the owner of a company. I replied saying as much and explaining that I was just trying to help by telling them what a new customer was leaving for and what to fix to keep customers. I got an even longer abuse-O-gram from the owner. My account was then locked out/ deleted and I was told to wank off. So because I told LCO support about the things I would like to see fixed my account was deleted and I was banned. I will say they did give me a full refund of the money my main avatar spent, without my asking! That was a surprisingly classy move. The $25 each my 2 alts spent for game dollars is a small price to pay for the valuable lesson. Never contact LCO support! lol With all it’s faults LL is still the safest bet for a 3D world if your a content provider. Nice post, Lord. Thanks for sharing the good and bad sides of your experience. _____________________

lesson learned?
always have an alt (or two) that have full mod rights to ALL your stuff, and land. that way you can always go in to a college comuter lab or coffee house and take care of this type of business secretly (if needed). _____________________

I think we're middle-aged. OK- I can go with that. And you know what- it's funny, sometimes I get, "Wow! You are soo old!" Not hardly a pioneer but I guess time does move so fast. _____________________

Having dabbled in other grids, it seems like they're years away from being ready for prime time and I certainly have no desire to start over from scratch, but who knows. If it turns out that Linden is the virtual version of Bernie Madoff, the alternative grids might be the only choice somewhere down the road.
