Wowzers! Electric Sheep's "The Happening" gets top Slashdot billing!

Hmm? I was just curious because you had her name under yours, and you had a link to her blog *shrug*. If you don't want to tell me, just say so, don't get so defensive.

Martin Magpie = Catherine Cotton.

I apparently am less then them, since I questioned their motives. I think I will question those types of business motives, forever. If that's how they want to be precieved more power to them. I have already made up my mind here not so much of what the op was about but how I was treated after it was announced.

I for one have been very interested in getting projects noticed. Anyone who knows me knows I am saddened to see fantastic builds go unnoticed because they lacked the advertizing needed.

I was working on an primmed 'extreme spider web' dubbed 'the hootchie cootchie' but I'm waiting for flexable prims...

(wait a sec I'll AR this one myself to save a couple of idiots the time)

Unfortuantely I think you try to play the personal angle far too much, and too vehemently, which is probably why you're dismissed a great deal. You're doing it in this post - making it personal. You'd probably have more people listen to you if you didn't try to intrinsically make the issue somehow about you, or about how you've been slighted.

Just an observation.

STOP ATTACKING HER MOOPF JESKA THIS THREAD MUST BE CLOSED

Closed, reviewed, moved, voted on, moved to off topic, back to ON topic, then everyone must be bannenated!

Ok let me try again. "Based on the level of professionalism I have witnessed thus far. I can honestly say that even though I have been actively seeking out a company such as this. I find that it would not be the right company for my needs."

Better

Keep on discussing... generally-speaking...

I do see a lot of well-thought-out posts here on the topic of success in SL. To anyone who has hopes + dreams, I do hope they come true and that we can celebrate each other's victories. That we can lift each other up!



YUGE congrats with this... well-stated, and ahhh... this single paragraph brought so many smiles to my face. (That goshdarned [ARTICLE] tag.)

More articles about SL ripe for perspectives, bring 'em on!

And I adore the Electric Sheep name because of PKD!!!

Figures. Then again you do work for LL.

Now I have nothing further to say on this bullshit.

Nope, that just makes no sense. Especially with all those full-stops in mid-sentance shennanigans ?!?!?!

nvm It's not even worth the energy. Carry on.

That's an excellent statement in terms of a lot of the ideas that have been discussed so far.

In RL, its getting harder and harder to only do business with a company that you respect in all facets of their actions. (Check out "The Corporation", a great documentary on corporate ethics.) Conglomerates, mergers, and overseas business actions make it impossible to accurately research all the doings of the company that brings you Cheeze Doodles, for example.

In SL, you have an opportunity to really spend your money with an individual or company that you can stand behind. Essentially we're all cottage industries, which makes it a lot easier to know who you're dealing with.

Its a good point to take away from this that SL entrepeneurs (I can't spell that word) have to be even more attuned to how their actions reflect upon them, because there's no distinction between your company and yourself. And potential clients are going to have nothing but more and more choices of businesses that will be able to fufill their needs, so a good public and private image will be a big factor in how they spend their dollars.

Been a member as soon as it was first mentioned This looks like Big Fun!

Getting written up in Slashdot - getting more players - terrific.

The Washington party + SL party - very nice.

Posting about an article on SL in General – acceptable.

Posting about your own company in General – questionable.

Cory telling me kindly how to be an adult – hilarious.

Enabran telling me I “walk into a thread, victim complexes a-blazin’,” trying to make it about myself, guilty of “feeble, self-centered prattling,” and suffering from “deep disappointments in life in general and second life in specific” – what he lives for.

Jennyfur calling me jealous (“projecting” was the word I was going to use, too), “forum conspiracy theorist”, as well as “stupid and ignorant” – incorrect.

Everyone assuring Moopf that of course we don’t mean YOU, darling – par for the course.

Moopf psychoanalyzing Catherine, telling her (inaccurately) that she would “probably have more people listen to you if you didn’t try to intrinsically make the issue somehow about you, or about how you’ve been slighted” all this so she will understand she's not REALLY part of the conversation, and not accorded the respect allowed the rest of the clique - par for the course.

(I imagine posting her opinions makes her, like me, an “interfering busybody,” wouldn't you say, Moopf? I mean, it’s not like she’s an SL resident or anything.)

Siggy calling people who AR him idiots – rather understated, coming from him, actually. (He could have said a lot worse, because, you know, he can.)

Hiro/Flipper/Satchmo/SLCC/privateSLDeveloper’sMeeting/ElectricSheepCompany - all the same thing. They run SL.

Someone chosen from this group to be a resmod – abysmal. And my main point in this thread.

Particularly since there were a host of more independent residents to choose from for the role, who wished to have the role.

I am not happy to have a member of this already powerful group in authority over me on the forums. Particularly when he points out that, though he really isn’t that "attached" to the forums himself, the rules themselves don’t actually matter, but rather who is doing the reporting and who is being AR’d.

These people have enough fingers in enough pies. Must they run the forums, too?

coco

Cocoanut,

Please return to a normal font size or I will firebomb your apple cottage.

Wow , talk about a derail after the first line.

OK, so it *is* a conspiracy theory then.

applauds!

Remember when a certain banned-from-the-forums person was written up in a publication?

Where was that thread started?

OH! That's right! General.

Shouldn't it have been in advertisements? After all, it was really just a tactic to increase property rentals in SL, right?

Not at all, more like one hand washing the other this is just the way LL does business. Didn't you know that.

One might think that you didn't know, as suprised and indignant as you get about it every single time something tweaks your nose a bit.

If you think LL's business practices are so horrible, tell me Catherine, why do you support them by remaining a customer?

I have to admit, I'm still terribly confused about it. Who's the one hand? Who is the other? How is Hiro et. al. running SL? How is LL playing into all this now?

With time comes experience guess you haven't been around long enough. If one more linden tells me SL about is"art or education" I might have to stick my foot up their virtual .... NVM
