So you are just going to wait this out, Lindens?

@ Dip: best post in this subforum so far.

As for Gordon: I do understand your frustrations since the topic comes up in all subforums and not only this one. But is hijacking this topic here the right way to express your discomfort? Basicly by doing so you have entered the "can't beat them, so join them" group.

Also something for everyone to consider, and I say this since I am one of them:

A huge amount of the Residents don't speak english as their native language. But still they feel a need to express their thoughts about this subject. Respect for those that dare to comment in posts like this. Honestly, as well written as this one is, I would never be capable to do that, at least, not in english. Lost of foreigners posting with a restricted vocabulairy means that a lot of posts might come across as whining or as saying the same.

But it feels so damn good to sometimes write it off.

If people however find my english inadequate and not up to standard to post here, let me know and I will be happy to continue replying in Dutch

I can see the headlines now:

Protest in front of Linden Research Inc.'s headquarters by disgruntled customers fizzles out when employees ignore them. Protestors retreat back into parents' basements to bitch and moan about how protests were ignored.

Perhaps so; but in a forum labeled "Openspace Announcement Discussion", what sort of threads do you think you'll find?

For someone trying to avoid the topic, you sure pick a strange place to do it.

If you encounter OS-discussion posts that are truly not germane to the thread's topic in other areas of the forum, simply use the "Report Post" button and let the moderators do their job.

Granted there isn't an official thread anymore but even back when there was one some people just refuse to join in to an existing discussion or discuss things in their proper place because they need to be noticed, because THEY need the attention so they post their own thread and it piles up and piles up.

Gordon you're a clever guy, you're also involved in the Jira. This is how people are, they won't search through pages of existing threads to see if their point has been made, they make their own posts. The same as people won't trawl through the Jira, they'll post a new Jira issue instead.

Sometimes it's attention seeking and sometimes it's just because someone feels their point will have more oomph if they start a new thread, but mostly it's because trawling through the existing content takes too long. That I'm afraid, is human nature.

Strangely of course human nature is also the root of greed which is by most reckoning what started all of this I agree though that it's human nature for people to take the easy route and just start a new thread. Another issue of course is that Katt hasn't been managing things to merge threads as needed, lock threads as needed, and deal with at least several incidences I've seen of the same person opening many threads at the same or close to the same time on essentially the same thing.

Hey Folks,

I'd appreciate it if you would not attack others by name (or otherwise) in the Forums.

Also, I've removed some "investment" ads which do not belong in the Forums.

Thanks,

Katt thanks for reining in the personal attacks that were being made but replacing my name with ** in a blockquote of a post I made doesn't really have any point when the original post stands unaltered on the previous page.

On the "investment ads" I can see how they can be interpreted as advertising even though that wasn't the intention as can be seen by the context of that post as well as the previous and later posts on the topic but I don't particularly care enough to make an issue of it since I don't support it anyway and people who want to support it will probably find out in other ways.

back to topic!

Dear Lindens how long we will have to wait?

Have you allrady markt us as lost value?

Hello Lindens we still wait for an awnser!

I am a 50 year old artist who came to Second Life with a very serious purpose and a commitment to working with Linden in bringing them a project that was truly innovative and would have grown and grown. I am out of pocket in the region of $10,000 ... so why don't you wipe your snotty little nose ** kiddo and trundle back to Linden Laps?

PLONK!

The trends have come and gone, people get their weevils in a bunch and storm off, but the truth about open sims is: they are not fair to the older players who have paid up to $1600 for a sim. The money-scammers have profiteered off open-spacers just like they manage to do off everything else they can. Open space sims should have never been created. It is diluting the quality of sims in SL
