Just thought it might be fun to post some everyday quotes from the threads that now make up 99% of the land and economy forum:

"Hi everyone. I'm new here, and I don't know much about economy - but I see there's a problem with the L$ and I think I know how to fix it."

"If LL doesn't take care of this, they will soon dissappear."

"Linden Labs knows nothing about economy." (usually said by the same person who just admitted to not knowing much anything themselves about economy)

add them up and we have

2(The difference between me and you) = 0

The difference between me and you = 0/2

The difference between me and you = 0

I never thought we were so similar :eek:

I don't think this sort of behaviour is unique to discussion about the economy.

If SL has taught me anything, it's that having a clue is not requisite to having an opinion.

The falling Linden equals no more content will get made.

End of dwell means no more content will get made.

(something else) means no more content will get made.

Stipends are the root of the economic problems.

Too bad about the no new content. I have not seen anything really new in a long time. It is just the same old stuff.

Why cant these so called "creative" people come up with natural wearing hair? Mine makes me look like a hedgehog" when looking down. I still can get hair the way mine looks.

Too bad about dwell, I will not be affected one way or another.

About Stipends being the "root" of all evil? Give it a rest! These threads are getting old. Here something to go with your whine. No it is not goverment cheese but the best private industry has to offer!

When LL make change unfavourable to others, but not to the poster: "That's just the free market, stop relying on handouts."

When LL make change unfavourable to the poster: "THIS IS DISGRACEFUL SOCIALISM AND WILL RUIN BUSINESS IN SL"

'The falling Linden equals no new content being made' is only part of the quote. the rest is 'by people who feel they have to make cash. Those who enjoy it won't be affected.'

I am so sorry to disagree with you. I have a real life job that makes a lot more good money that anything that I can do in SL.

The point all of you "creative" types are missing is that SL is a game to me and nothing more. I support Second life by my $17 a month payment to Linden Labs. Yes "creative" types, it takes real money to run the servers!

Let me be the one to introduce you to our nice friend Sarcasm. He is a friend of Satire. Sometimes he tends to make rather weird statements but once you get to know him better he's a quite nice fellow.

My suggestion for residents is to buy objects through "slexchange". Hope I did not mis spell that too badly. This way the producer and distributer get real money (They take pay pal) and the user goes not have to bother with play money. There are no extra costs for changing money and they do a nice job on delivering the goods! Prices are also stable with these transactions. This way all parties are happy!

It is a win/win for all concerned and will "affect" the Linden.

From SLEx's Help section

Whenever a purchase is initiated using real-world currency (such as via PayPal), SL Exchange converts the payment to Linden Dollars before processing the purchase.

Transaction Handling Fee: $0.30 USD
Conversion Rate: 274.0 Linden Dollars per US Dollar (or equivalent)

-The Conversion Rate is subject to change at any time without notice.
-There are maximum conversion limits in place to prevent fraudulent transactions. -Conversion limits automatically adjust according to your individual account history.

If you lot want to talk about the economy and boring stuff like that, go do it in the Snooze and Economy forum.

The point wasn't really to spark up new comments / discussions about the economy, but to have a good laugh at some of the most over used cliches that can be found there.
