Train Wreck?

Can someone explain why I chose to come back after a 4 month hiatus?

Cuz you love us and you missed us and you crave to make cute furniture again

This one did it for me too. Unless I see significant improvement in the next few months, I plan to tier down to 512, use that as my home or perhaps a small shop.

Or, I might just go back to Basic and rent a shop on estate property. Not sure.

All I know is I see one bad decision after another by LL and I don't want to immerse or expand my business until I see what happens. XStreet was always one area I could trust overall...now with LL buying it out...anything could happen.

True...true...and true

If this ever transpires, please count me in. One of my top interests in SL these days is eduction.

It's called Project Wonderland, backed by Sun and based on Java. Here's an overview with a pointer to the site.

NMC (New Media Consortium) was heavily involved last time I checked.

Your butt. There is no other like it in all of SL buttdom.

Awwwwww. You remembered. (sniff)

While I don't think the SL sky is falling your statements simply don't comport with reality. Unless you live in an alternate universe the facts regarding grid performance cannot be reconciled with your first 2 sentences. I have experienced much better periods of grid stability and performance in SL than the past weeks as has anyone who has been here for at least a year.
That is an extremely short sighted and narrow minded statement that simultaneously displays a position of ignorance about the broader ramifications of merging the grids concerning speech, self-expression, creativity, content access, and id security.

Now THAT was offensive. And unnecessary.

Also inaccurate - pedophiles go anywhere kids are. And I can tell u from working with certain charities and organisations that means *everywhere*. Not just "one certain church."

Don't the SL TOS rules about not slamming religious groups, apply on the forums as well?

Just not funny. (And imagine a victim reading it, too if it's only "that church" you want to insult; not so funny from any vantage point.)

Not at all. It expresses the far-sighted vision that I share with Linden Lab and a number of organisations that would be prepared to explore the potential of SL for major projects that foster creativity and learning in people of all ages.

Unfortunately many people are unable to see beyond their own paradigms of what SL is or could be. These are based on SL as it is now, and reinforced by an aversion to change. This underpins many of the frankly ludicrous 'arguments' against any form of positive development for SL.

Merging the grids is just part of a much bigger picture.

What is the bigger picture please?

I cannot see an upside to this plan. I'd love to know.

You'll bet those bullets against a set? I'll gladly take some of THAT action!

No, 6/6/6 refers to 6/6/06, when the Great Unwashed Masses™ were allowed in. Previously, you needed a valid payment method to get an account... now all you need is a disposable (or fake) email address. Why do you think griefing went to absurd levels after that point? Just roll a disposable alt, and blast away. Gets banned? No big deal. Can roll another and keep going if you want.

Harkening to another current thread -- it's like the storyline of Lost.
------ made up as it goes along.



And people keep watching.

Let's see...I specifically did not name a particular religion or group. If your mind filled the blank in....*shrugs*

OK, so that's now two posts where you're putting words into my mouth.

True =)

Although sometimes I think SL more like a reality TV show. And we all in it.

We're Truman?

More like Neighbours From Hell sometimes I think =)

Thanks Nika

There was no question what religion you were talking about. Why not just admit it was a bad joke and appologize?

Really? No question? If there was no question...then why be offended?

For all you know, I could have been discussing my local church and it was an inside joke to the person I was responding to who, while we're making assumptions, could very well be my sister.

Or it could have been the House of Honey Fashion Worship Center.

If someone filled in the unnamed portion of my statement with a church that they think has that reputation...I'd say that it's not MY fault.

So no, not apologizing.

And I'm simply amazed that someone will get their panties in a bunch over an *intentionally* unnamed church, but not say a word about Congress being a pedophile haven.

Sheesh. Get over it.

Fail.

Awww, I'm crushed.

The new PC....not only will you be ostracized for what you say, but also for what someone thinks you meant to say.....whooopppeeeeeee!
