I would say users not coming up with compelling content.

I would say one or more of the listed options helps make it difficult for users without large sums of money to create said content.

I should have added "trolling alts."

I'd vote for the write-in for "Griefers". I think that's SL's biggest obstacle, with Linden Labs "handling" issues second.

Good point.

I'd add this along with some of the other suggestions, but yay for not being able to edit polls.

For serious, I'd have to vote for "residents that do nothing but root for SL to fail".

None of the above. It's that someone else may come up with more advanced, more compelling technology.

That was an important post, and you should feel proud for making it.

Well this is wild. Before looking at the poll, I thought up my top two things, and the first one wasn't on the list:

1. Not being able to see the world. (Textures as gray squares.)

2. The second one I guess would be "Linden's handling of things," but I wouldn't want to vote that one since my idea of it is pretty limited - i.e., things like putting their own information under Infonet would be an example; letting one guy buy up bits all over the whole world and put sign graffiti up and charge oodles for his land, would be another. In other words, things they haul off and do without thinking them through about obvious reasons why that may not be the best way, or things they just seem to let fester far too long to their own detriment. So I would reword this, "Lindens' handling of some things." Cause lots of other things I think they handle GREAT.
