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


This would be my answer too.

I can't believe I'm defending Anshe here but... Have you ever given a single moment of thought as to what would happen if Anshe decided to cash out and cancel her account?
That woman owns like 100 sims worth of land. She has hundreds of tenants.
The whole land market would probably collapse and the L$ would massively devalue.

She should have never had the power to be in this position in the first place. Mind you, this is LL's fault, not hers. She just did what any smart person with enough income and time would have done.

Of course she should. She is no different from your average web hosting company in my mind. Buy servers in bulk, sell small amounts of space, etc.

Oh I know.

But that comment was really meant as a joke, Cocoa refered to the guy putting up those impeach bush signs on small plots and selling them. But was vague to refering directly to him. But what she said was, buys lots of land all over the grid, puts up grafitti signs, and sells it for oodles of money.

Lol and with Anshe buying land all over the grid, putting up For sale signs all over it, i've seen 20 of them in a small area before, and selling it all for high prices. So I was joking about how they're so similar.

Also, that reason you stated is the reason LL probably will never ban her, even when she broke ToS by buying accounts and publicizing that she did so and was looking for more, LL simply changed the ToS so they wouldn't have to punish her, since punishing her would result in that kind of thing.

Hippos. Followed by Ulrika harvesting all our keys and then using them to scratch SUV's. ;) :eek:

Nah, seriously, what Ananda said - that something better will come along. I love what SL is, and I love many of the things LL has done. But I also see things *cough*charge of $150 if someone wants to move a private island*cough* that make me wonder. *cough*charge of $100 to transfer private island to another owner...*cough*

"For serious," I'd have to vote for "hyper-defensive residents who equate any mention of issues that need dealing with in SL with 'rooting for sl to fail.'

In rl, I'm guessing you're one of the people who call anyone who mentions any current problems with your country "anti-american (or insert country)."


Actually, I wasn't speaking about you. I don't even know you. I had in mind an entire other set of people.

In addition, although I'm not sure what it has to do with the topic, I'm possibly the most anti-Bush administration person I know - which is entirely different from being pro- or anti-America in an overall sense.

You should try jumping to conclusions more often - along with navigating non-Euclidian geometry, its GREAT for the glutes.

Well I think what I'm about to do is borderline against the forum TOS but...

Fair enough, my bad.

:eek:

I know, actually admitting being wrong? I'm evil!

Yes but web hosting companies don't make such great arch-villains. Well, except for Interland.
