One more time, I hope it's simple enough.
The bus (SL) is over crowded and can't move very fast and threatens to breaks down.
The choices for the driver are;
A. Stop the bus and wait for repairs (everyone logged off)
B. Keep driving with the overload and hope the bus doesn't explode
C. Tell some of the riders to unload.
Ca. Who to tell to get off the bus? Non-payment riders, basic account riders or premium payers?
I don't think it's an emotional issue or one of unfairness. It's basic logic.

I would think that tier paying customers do. ;] Take land away and whats left, no world. Private estates derive their revenue from anyone who wishes to buy - Basic or Premium. Do we know what percentage of Linden mainland is given over to shops and other businesses? Most of their customers will be Basic accounts with payment info. There are parallels with the many threads on the rights of conent creators - imagine SL with just creators and no consumers. Likewise, imagine if every single person in SL owned a clothes shop. _____________________

Christ on a Pony! You need all of us or else there is no SL. Premium and Tier payments allow the land so "Serious Developers" can have their places to do business where us giggling Kiddies who like to play will come and spend our money. That's how the Metaverse *snicker* works.

I don't think you've quite grasped the facts of this thread, so I'll explain; We don't agree with you. We understand what you are saying, but we think you are wrong. Restating your case over and over and over will not alter that. Also, you tell the most recent people to have boarded to get off. _____________________

As long as you have been in SL you should know by now that the "driver" (LL) is gonna run the bus full on with the water and oil shooting out of the engine and will keep loading up the passengers. What you are saying is lighting candles in the rain and pissing in the wind. Philip has heard the complaints and never cared about them. Dropping yourself into a forum and starting to blame people for your woes is just silly. Once again.. go talk to LL or file a jira. They will both fall on deaf ears as has been shown in the past but at least your complaints will be somewhat more valuable then tossing them out here to piss people off. THAT is basic logic. _____________________

Choose one or don't bother answering. Does being a premium paying member mean you get to order people around now too? Let me go become premium, I might have a few choice words for your attitude in a minute. o.O _____________________

Choose one or don't bother answering. Since you are not in a position of authority, you are not able to issue instructions. Ultimately you are wrong, everything you have said has been wrong and the lesson that can be learned from all this is that you should keep your fool mouth shut. _____________________

The mention of Mr Cleese made me suspend my Moratorium on not manually cutting and pasting links, since the Bus Company won't fix the BB Code. I'm glad I did. LOL. And the Two Ronnies as well.  _____________________

What do you know? You aren't a serious developer making a living in SL. Yeah, Dinalya. You've probably got a real job, instead of a pretend virtual one. You loser. _____________________

Ultimately you are wrong, everything you have said has been wrong and the lesson that can be learned from all this is that you should keep your fool mouth shut. Seems to me you don't care about the issue but are here to troll and flame. I don't see a debate from you but condemnation at every chance you get. I asked a question that is about ideas for solutions and I get back how screwed up I am from you. That is what a troll does. Please stick to the subject. |

When did Christ start riding a pony? Modern day version around 1926 when they realised riding an ass wasn't sounding right. |

Posted as link instead of IMG so as not to offend people who didn't go to school and therefore don't understand satire.
