I agree and my money has been sent!

Lindens, if anything should be subsidized in SL it is the Ivory Tower of Prims!

I think Nyx is responding to the fact that only four people or something have ever donated, and is aware it is moving, not closing.

Yup I know it's not going away away, but your right, I think this is one great charity that has gone unnoticed.

I honestly thought it was owned by the Lindens! I remember going there as a newbie too.

Why, oh why, is there no scheme whereby the Lindens support things like this? It is so important a feature. Surely there should be a scheme where places of real altruistic value can apply to be sponsored (less tier fees).

A certain segment of the population would go apopleptic if that happened. I think LL has probably learned from experience that any attempt to subsidize resident owned and run attractions will only result in cries of "FIC!" and Nyx would likely be accused of being an LL employee's love slave or something. :p

I can, if need be......'for the cause' you understand


And Elgyfu Chip is right, if LL decided to sponsor in whole, or in part, The Ivory Tower, despite how deserving, all we would hear would be the wailing and knashing of teeth

So WE as a community can do our part :D

Not. If. Everyone. Were. Allowed. To appply for. The opportunity.

Such a simple message, really, and I've made it clear so very, very many times now.

People. Would. Still. Argue. That. There. Was. Bias. In. The. Choosing. Of. The succesful applicants.

If we believe these things are important, and need support, we can do that ourselves.

Am not even going to address this AGAIN! Since this thread needs to stay positive :D



And thanks all :) I mean really, I think Lumiere is awed and very grateful :) There couldn't BE a much worthier cause
