The right hand never speaks to the left hand at the lab. Or so it seems.

The threads were locked because there is no discussing it, there is no reasonable response to be made, there is however a facade that your entitled to express your opinion and they care what it is.. lol.

I wonder if its better for Lindens labs for people to be seen to be arguing over moral rights and wrongs rather than berating Lindens for the ongoing technical issues and failings within second world...

Easy to shunt people round, pen them into certain areas and seem to be seen to be doing something rather than trying to tackle issues like teleport and transactions fails etc... which you can attempt to tackle by slipping in 'iffy' technical changes with barely a mention and possible attracting attention to the shortcomings in your technical set up.

Yep I'd have to agree. Like walking up to someone on their right hand side and tapping them on the left shoulder as you walk by.

Which begs the question, whether the clean up of SL is really related. Businesses are going to hold these meetings either on private estates or (more likely) on private grids.

In neither case will the attendees go anywhere near the mainland.

Which makes some wonder if this is more about 'brand'. If so then that would at least make some sort of sense to me, although imo still seems out of touch with current user wishes.

From a board meeting pov though, I can see someone making a speech about 'brand' and how to improve it. And coming up with this decision. It just seems iffy in implementation - no matter what.

Solution to me seems to be improve stability of product, hire PR firm to get that nasty 'adult' taste out of the uninitiated public's mouths, keep kids and businesses on their own separate grid, and keep as much freedom in the rest of SL as possible.

This is the single most important thing that people want to see from all sections of SL community. This single request keeps getting mentioned in just about every blog comments section over the last few years.

The main thing that has struck me from the beginning is that such a huge announcement was not made by M Linden.

Is he still there or did he quit or getting ready to bail or something?


New theory: He is changing his avatar to Ursula Linden

In the announcement LL made it clear that the move was going to happen. They were not seeking input as to whether that should happen or not. What they were seeking was feedback on how it could best be handled. I don't know how much constructive input they got on that, but my guess is not much.



Would be best handled by moving all PG to ursula!

sl freedom
03-26-2009 20:45
I come here 2 have fun I like sl case its the only game that is so open ended u can do anything. build, scrip, fly, rp, shoot people in combat sims, and yes have SEX its the rl world made fun with no work and u can do anything and I dont $*#&$ like it when someone tells me that because its obseen or your kids don't like it. keep your kids to the pg areas and don't yell at us because your incapable or don't want 2 rase them your self u gonna push it on the world shunt work that way. when I found out about sex my parents had the wisdom 2 inform me about it so I was well egicated and understood the meaning and risks and im damn glad they did. wish everyone would do that why not put all the pg stuff in one area and let us adult enjoy our game sl wasn't deised for toddlers was it?
I have a gf, I rp in a dark rp combat sim, and I enjoy clubs and addalt content u take that stuff away or move it 2 some place I cant find im gonna be pissed at sl for wasting all the money I put into guns and equipment.

and my appogiys for my rudeness and crule words I dont wana heart anyone its just been a long day, hard year, and I feel my place of R and R is under attack. I get protective.

sorry

I second that, why take the adult stuff away from the adults? if they want to be kids, send them to a secluded PG area, why should WE have to all bow down to the asses that are protesting adult content in an ADULT service. better yet, make another ADULT PG grid and move them over there, let the adults who can handle theselves be adults. don't treat us like children!

they should not do it

If LL do all that about having to pay to be in a mature area and all the rest, I and I thinkg a lot of people too, will just stop playing because is the best part it has. (in my opinion of course).

it's ok that they restrict mature content to matures areas, and may be they should have 2 kinds of profiles 1 for matures and other for normal so if in a PG area and the avatar is below age it will see the other or may be just none or it may say " not allowed".

that is far much better.

on the other hand all the pople I meet so far si beyond 23 years old.

so if you restrain the game so much it will be turned into a bored game and eventually someone else will do a similar one with no restrictions and all people will move there.
