Good way to tell LL they're stupid?

Don`t you love Bleeding stabing edge Innovators???????????

That's right! It's a little known fact that these forums run on the top secret VCCode. Created by the North Vietnamese in the late 60's. It was known as "Project Charlie". Albert Einstein and several German physicists were involved...wait. No... Wrong war. That was the nuclear bomb, now known as the George W. Bush Commemorative Nukular Bomb Thingy. OK. VCCode is particularly nasty stuff. It's cutting edge comes mostly from fire hardened bamboo and bits of shrapnel from unexploded landmines carefully plucked from the ground by Princess Diana before al Quaeda offed her.

At any rate, you can't expect perfection from VCCode. All you can expect is sneak midnight attacks and booby traps. I suggest if you're getting 503 errors, you should defoliate your keyboard with Loofa, since Agent Orange is no longer commercially available, and then pour lit sterno all over the cpu. Sterno is like napalm, only more jelly-er.

Oh, and LL is amazingly innovative. Stunningly so. They desperately need a businessperson in charge of many aspects of their business. They are making desperately bad business decisions.

Hmm, are you perhaps misunderstanding the word "innovators", Usagi?

The fact that someone can *create* something doesn't mean they're very good at maintaining it.

I'm saying that LL are *not* very good at running a day to day service, despite having come up with a great concept. I don't understand what you're not getting here.

No, I am just explaining feeling the issue.........

Which is why I left SL and went to Openlife and setup my standalone island...now building a sim sized pyramid, yep, 256m X 256m at the base...

In case any of you didn't read the blog, they have posted this today. I thought it was kinda funny...just shows that the read this thread.






But I must also add...I got to see the 503 error a total of 8 times while attempting to post this. yes, I have been counting each time...lol

Play by play announcers?

They posted it as resolved at 10:00AM Sunday though it was not, no further word until 9:00AM Monday but that post does not really contain any useful information on what if anything we can expect. And now, 2:00PM Turesday and the problems continue and we have recieved no futher word. If this is an indication of what LL considers play by play announcing we need an LL to real world translator because their definitions of things like RESOLVED, IMPROVE STABILITY, NO SERVICE INTERUPTION does not seem to match anything that the rest of the world uses.

*Sighs happily after reading most of this thread*

Nothing changed while I was away....

Morwen.

This thread is hilarious!

Especially Trout's post!

And I liked Raven's, too.

It only took me four tries to get to the page where I could type this; now let's see if it goes through.

welcome back!

OK, well, your English is far better than my Japanese - but I still think there's a misunderstanding on the words I'm using here.

I think we both agree that LL is *not* doing a good job of running a day to day service.

I just don't think that that makes them stupid - someone can be great at making things, but not good at maintaining them, and I think that's what's happening here.

"I just don't think that that makes them stupid - someone can be great at making things, but not good at maintaining them, and I think that's what's happening here."

totally lost here...............

you messed the point and why i said it.........

They call second life the cutting edge. well it is when you have nightish issues like what we had during his week and for the 1 year. Growing pains? Well maybe but lets get some facts here right. If someone is paying for a service and it fails to work right people have a right to talk back in a high tone voice ( and not not the voice option on sl ). I don`t know how long you been on sl ( mind you the amount of people that have been here for years and now are in alts) But the history of how LLABS has dealt with problems and issues is less then cutting edge tech. I never use the word "stupid" unless it fixs. one a few times in my sl i used such terms. But these past weeks is unbareable.........LLABS need to learn to start scaling their own abilites and not that of the UI. because thes edays it seems The coders don`t know a think what they are doing. Just look no they do a rolling update. As so didnt they say a few days ago there would be no problems rolling out the new codes? what happened? Well they rolled the "CODE" back and re did it. Why? because they screwed up. Now is that clear enough.

Yeah, you can tell them about the problems you're having, and they will not listen. They really just want to get you off their back, a lot like any other company, or they will give you the run around each time you call. The reason is not because they don't care to help you, the reason is because they DON'T KNOW HOW to help you. What do you call that? If we can't call it stupid, we can at least call it ignorant...

But keep in mind, this is a company that takes your money for a service, that's the way they see it. If you spend hundreds of RL monies in SL on some creation by some other account holder, and while LL claims they cannot do a thing about such transactions, and you are ripped off, you CAN go to the BBB and file the report against LL. If you make that threat to them, they WILL start listening.

We don't want to put them out of business, we just want them to start giving a shit. They're making a lot of mistakes, in the form of service, and the way they keep changing things that the ppl are happy with, and raising teir prices. But I think the biggest mistake of all is treating the majority of users like crap. They cannot succeed with only the concierge account holders alone. The concierge account holders cannot succeed unless they have us regular users to purchase land from them. This is not the days of survival of the fittest... Haven't we gotten past that? I may not have a huge balance on my account, but I do just as good as the ones who do, and I deserve the same treatment as concierge level account holders, because I'm spending as much money as they are, I just didn't buy an island.
