If things aren't bad enough, I finally get online and immediately start getting spammed by chat from an old self-replicating griefer object:
7634623784.500000 shouts: Terror will rain down upon the unfit gods and the flock that they govern, from now until the end of days.
What kind of jerk would set off a bomb like that on a day like today?

"jerk" is way too high of a compliment for this.

What kind of jerk would set off a bomb like that on a day like today? Some jerk who was cleaning out their inventory and wondered what a "7634623784.500000" was? _____________________

(unless it's on land you have control over. then it's as simple as returning it,)

To return it. nah... just go into "about land", then to the "objects" section, then click on the unrecognizable name and choose "return objects". _____________________

(although it'd be hilarious to watch Ahern get bombed all day long by that type of return. now more interesting would be if the objects returned one at a time to give the owner a nice little blue popup for each and every one of them (nevermind the endless chat scroll =X) _____________________

The 3 different avvies that had them over our way were all...surprise surprise..No payment info on file...So no homes, most likely. But, yes, it would be sweet for them to get such a just dessert.

This particular attacker spams people, so I can well believe that some of the people who own the objects are simply people who got sent inventory and rezzed it without thinking.
I wish SL would track and let you view the compile history of scripts, so you can look at a script created by Ben Linden and see it was last edited by Ima Griefer. _____________________

There should be a "return and AR" button. It would be handy to have that all in one easy step.

My thought is this could be a comment on SL's 6th birthday. Either "lets mess up the birthday celebration", or "SL has done some awful changes this year, here's how I feel".

Well when I got back on after the big crash, there was a freaking ugly big night club right flush to two of my parcel boarders, so I now have a veiw of foundations that don't site right instead of the ocean. My whole sim is/was pretty much trees open space and few small rentals with all the junk in the sky.
It was a downer after this crash, All it has is a bot running and no one is running it or trying to do anything so it gets stray noobs, one of whom has already greifed people on my place. I've asked and offered to help them move to the sky, their answer is no but they will buy my land from me, also if anyone has seen it, I remember a bit of LL babble somewhere saying it's best practice to not sit your build right on someone elses boundary but to keep a few meters seperate, I've looked for it and can't find it. Does anyone know where that is? _____________________
