So, is there anyone else here who wants to show up and let the anti-noob types know that noobs are welcome here?

Maybe if the person trying to be disruptive for the sake of it had the courage of his/her opinions and used his/her main to offer it? You are just proving the reason for the protest here.

You're free to do whatever you want, but please make sure your protests target the proper people. I'm sure there are people who hate new folks. However, the people in the protests that I've heard of today are directing their protests at the new registration system, not at all new registrants. If you were to stop and think about it...calling for the old system to be put back in place is different than calling for no new registrations. Give it some thought.

disruptive=="you don't agree with me"? Distruptive = you don't even appear to know what the issue at hand is and are just rabble rousing for the sake of rabble rousing. |

Perhaps it's in the terminology.
I'm very anti-noob ... but newbs are very welcome. Newbs aren't noobs (not immediately anyway). A newb is a new player. A noob is either someone who is disruptive or someone who refuses to learn how to do things properly. |

All these fake and idiotic alt threads are another reason that some sort of identity verification should still be required.
Yeah, you're "newbies", we get it already.  _____________________

ANYWAYSSSSSS How easy it is to dismiss people by claiming alt, troll etc. I guess under the circumstances of your loosely supported griefing protest at the celebration I shouldn't expect more from people who knee jerk reaction in order to feel like they are doing "something" no matter what that is..  |

Ummm Summer, LOOK at his name. It was made for the express purpose of organizing a counter protest. You can't be serious, and if you are, good grief. _____________________

Go for it counterwotsyername! You'll do more to show how bad the new registration system is than the people protesting against it.

Anti-new resident? I haven't seen anyone who's anti-new resident. There's a big difference between wanting to keep teenagers and griefers out, and being anti-newbie. Although, by the OPs name, we can be fairly assured he's one of the "alt / teen / griefer" variety.

Regards, -Flip To me Flip, it looks like an orchestrated attempt to try and make older SL residents look bad. It's likely spill over from a certain large and well known forums <cough> whose members have undoubtedly been made aware of the new reg policy, and are likely all in irc giggling their lil arses off. _____________________

Why the hell would any of these hypothetical forum people try to interfere with you all making asses of yourselves? Hell, I only heard about it because I came on the forums just now to see why the grid was down. Get over yourself. |

So, is there anyone else here who wants to show up and let the anti-noob types know that noobs are welcome here? Newbies are always welcome in SL!! However, I'm afraid you won't be able to log in and have your protest because all of the "non-newb", unverified, possibly underage, griefing alts (Teengrialts) that logged in and blew up the grid... (by the way, those are the ones the original protesters are talking about, not actual new users, and I'm pretty sure that they made that very clear in all of their statements so far here on the forum...)DISCLAIMER: FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE MISSED IT. THE STATEMENT ABOVE IS SARCASM. I, NOR ANYONE THAT I AM ASSOCIATED WITH REALLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED, ONLY THAT LL SAID THERE IS A DATABASE PROBLEM. _____________________
