No its not. I want these oldbies that are unwilling to change to quit whining. Everything changes. EVERYTHING.

Stop whining about what used to be, your old FIC'er role, the respect you used to command, and get used to the current situation.

Change with the time and the times will change with you.

Don't just sit around bemoaning the death of some "golden age" that myself and most SL'ers never were a part of.

Cuz we dont really care.


It is okay to have sour grapes over us not letting you into the FIC. Just don't take it too hard. I am sure there is another group in SL that will accept your pleasant persona with open arms.

Just not the FIC. We are sorry, and there is no appeal process. :(

Maybe try Gor?

Perhaps, but they really aren't needed anymore. They've outlived their usefulness to LL and the general SL population.


Something that never existed cannot outlive its usefulness.

Well, sort of.

If you believe that your fic application has been rejected in error, or that the
details of this incident have not been adequately examined, please address
your concerns in an email to [email]appeal-manager@fic.com[/email]

There is no reply-to-an-appeal process.

Saying the FIC is under attack by LL is giving LL far too much credit in their organizational and planning capabilities. If they were disciplined enough to attack the FIC, they sure as heck could figure out how to do a proper QA process.

And just look at the QA state of SL! Pfffpt.


I vote for the 'dont give a shit' option.

That is not what our records indicate. If you feel that your application was rejected in error, I would most definitely try Gor.

If you feel you have reached this recording in error, please check the number and try again. :)

I still don't know what FIC means. Near the beginning of the thread, someone gave a somewhat cryptic, sarcastic answer, but it never really gave an explanation. All I've been able to assume is that it's some elite group of people that aren't the Lindens. What does the acronym FIC, in this case, mean?

Heh, FIC is forever, for good or ill. You may be outcast, but then you are just outcast FIC - not back to normal :)

I remember when Christiano was in There.com's version of FIC - that must be a sticky thing to remember!

The only way out is to make an alt, stay an alt, and never look back.

So far as I am concerned, when anybody uses the word 'whine' or 'whiners', it instantly invalidates their posting.

Nope. Can't tell.

Are you being wise, or a wise ass? I'm lost on it.
