The Official "People Who Don't Have a Problem With LL" Thread.

I do have those years and I agree with the OP.

I'm pretty happy with Second Life. There are a few things that irk me about it, but I could proabably say that about anything

Being perfect myself, I see everything as being flawed...

I Love Linden Labs!!!!

They've got a thankless job and they do it well.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my Inventory to keep
If my contents wipe before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take

Definitely, Chip. I totally love SL, and thank LL every day for it (silently, at bedtime).

I've got no problem with them.

I wouldn't call them perfect either, but their world is definitely meeting my overall expectations (and then some!) so far.

Why, this thread isn't about Lash LaRue at all!



/me slams door, mounts up, rides off in a cloud of dust.

SL is good, It's got me hooked, and it's hard to keep me happy. It's not perfect, it has it's flaws like everything else. But generally... Good.

What are Chims People?

i hear about them but what are they ?

Seems to me this thread is more about you feeling superior to other people and disparaging them than it is about Second Life.

Utopia wouldn't work because there some people are natural fixers, complainers, exploiters, etc.... A disfunctional world creates networks of needs. It gives people a sense of place and identity where they have value and purpose. (or reason to complain about the lack of value and purpose.

Well, I've stuck up for LL at several points in the past so it should be no surprise that I would add my voice to the chorus here. Sure, they're not perfect, but no business is (or ANY assemblage of human beings in the whole history, for that matter). Considering the scale and level of difficulty of what they are attempting, I think they've done a remarkable job. There have been other attempts at similar things in the past but SL is the first of its kind. It's hard to always make the right decisions every time when you have zero precedents upon which to base those decisions.
That's why the "whiners" have always gotten on my nerves. I understand that they have had to deal with a frustration in some way or that they have lost money, but most of the time I'm left with the feeling that they have only considered their own current woes without giving the slightest thought to the overall complexity of any given problem. It is my belief that decisions concerning grid-wide welfare are not made lightly or by single individuals. I think most decisions that people have taken issue with in the past were carefully considered at a table surrounded by college graduates and logical thinkers. It is my belief that these people saw most of these complaints far in advance and made these tough decisions anyway because, lacking a crystal ball, they believed it would have an overall positive impact in the end.
You're welcome to call me naive on any or all of these points but you certainly can't call me a n00b. I do have a fairly early join date which apparently adds credibility in the minds of some...
Just call me a fanboy if it makes your life easier...or the antiProk. Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.

Persig

Ditto the above.

I could just Cut and Paste your comment, Jopsy - that is almost exactly how I feel about LL, too. Just the fact that SL even works at all is amazing - and to be continually improving and expanding while trying to keep all the existing uses happy? chaos - wonderful, creative, shiny chaos.

I no longer hold a negative opinion of Linden Lab because Robin sent me a personal mail saying I was no longer allowed to.

I love Big Linden Lab.

I agree with and endorse this statement...

*Looks at her join date...*

And as a "mature" resident myself, I also might mention I have no issues with LL or SL that I could not also level at any other company or product. I speak as both a social user of this virtual reality simulator and as a content provider.

*shrug*

But I also realize that for many people, the more they are given, the more they want and the more they complain. The closer any product is to our expectation, the more the last remaining deviancy seems to bug the hell out of us. I simply have enough age and perspective to realize such tendancies and counter then with a dose of "shut my arse up."

=P

I can't remember any other activity that's made me so willing to be inconvenienced for my pleasure (e.g. staying up very late). Not since I stood by my tv set holding up an aerial for hours so I could watch Der Ring des Nibelungen.

I wonder what percentage of the ones Whining have free accounts and contribute no monetary support to the development of SL? ...just wondering.

What is 2+2?

It's been more than two years for me and I'm just as smitten with SL as the first day I started. And better yet, the future only looks brighter! I'm simply happy I found SL when I did and have no intention of leaving. Hell, first life isn't perfect so why would I expect second life to be without flaws?

I still find content and people in SL that amaze me.


A big thanks to all the Lindens for creating this world and continuing to do your best to improve our in-world experiences.

Personally, I do not see what all the "hate posts" are all about. LL is entitled to run things the way they see fit and I think they are doing an excellent job. Then again, I do not have thouasands of $$$ invested in them either so I just cannot walk a mile in thoes shoes.

This very basic fact is lost on a lot of people. Thanks for posting that.

I shudder to think where the world would be today, if uber-whiners were prevalent during REAL crises the human race has faced in it's history.

Thank the stars for progress eh? It allows us to sit around on our fat asses on the internet and whine about "injustice" or better yet, "injustices" that might happen in an online setting.

I am sure the millions of souls who perished in the World Wars, so we could have the ability (just one result of their sacrifices) to recreate on computers TODAY, are so proud of us!

Very nice to see some positive stuff!

I love being in SL! (uh-oh, commercial!)
Before I discovered SL, quite by accident, I didnt do much on the internet. I hated chat rooms filled with whiney, angsty teens. Porn? Yea, seen it, been there.... But you can only see so many Up-Close-More-Than-You-Wish-Insert-The-Foreign-Object-Into-That-Orfice pics before you get bored with it.

Now I have Online Friends... again!! One's that dont end up asking "So what are you wearing?" The only Money I can lose is virtual! Yet I could make real money with it. I can build things! I can, if I was good at it, Script those things to do something!! I could buy/sell property that doesnt exist! OR- Do none of it & just hang out, talk to people, see what others have done. So much to see!!

Unlike Online Games, I dont have to shoot someone. I don't have to go on "quests" to make myself better. In SL, we're all on the same playing field. Just depends on where you're strengths lie & how much you want to put into doing something new.

People whine, bitch & Moan about many lil' niggling things In-World. So? Software ALWAYS has a problem. None of it is perfect!! This is something rather new so it's bound to have a few more bugs than say, Windows ME.

So Patience IS a virtue here. New technologies take time to iron out the bugs and to improve.

(end of commercial)

THERE!!! That beats 50 paragraphs of whining, yes?
