Yes, Ian.. trash was definately scrutinized.. and I never got the convinient "Deleting items in your trash will cancel at least one (active) calling card" message after looking though. So no go on that as far as for me. But if you want specific times.. I could tell you that I noticed David Cartier's card missing one day because i wanted to contact him on something and couldn't. We are working on a project together and have contacted eachother before, and I know we have traded cards and rating for in the past. Same deal with Yuki Sunshine. Last Wednesday (7-30) was when I started to notice with david.. and the next day with skee..., however... would it be good to you anyway when we noticed as opposed to if we knew the exact time the card expired? Because technically, a card could have expired a month ago and not noticed until we wanted to talk or get ahold of that person when we did notice.

I not as concerned about the cards about the cards as I am the ratings that you guys said were not going to be removed. But some names I can throw out that I noticed today. Ryan Linden, Sindari Jade. No positive that Sindari is still around, but umm.. I would hope that Ryan is..

I have had a few cards dissappear but I was up to one point where I was bringing in a decent stippend and bonus. Now because cards are gone and ratings...hmmm ratings we dont even want to get into. But I will for amoment anyway. I am not rate mining here but I do have a statment to make. I talk to people say hi and rate them most of the time. Yeah sure it costs me a $1 of linden money to do so but please for the love of pete...(petey not really directed at you buddy) but for the love of pete at least rate me back.

Its sad really I have been here since January, people come by they love my castle they love my builds they basicaly love what I do with the place but no one recognizes me with a rate. I wont stop rating people because of it in fact if I will keep it up I may even go broke doing so but that just me. DOnt get me wrong I wont rate negativly because you dont rate me but thats primarly because i dont want to spend anymore money as an investment in a person if they dont rate me.

Right now due to lost cards canceled cards etc. I have lost over 3k in my bonuses per week. Now I am working busting my hind end off doing classes and events to ensure that I dont totaly loose what I have created. I am a builder at heart if anyone comes by my castle and sees my dragon and stuff you will see what I mean.

But as for the lost cards what Ian said may be the reason for it. Still yet if thats the case that should have been solved back when they said all the accounts were scrubbed. Mine are still going down per week and I have been very visable over the last week or so and I don't think I have made anyone mad lately.


That is all I have say at the moment...

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, ShadowWeaver

Shadow, my friend, I would rate you three times a day if it was at all possiblr :D
I love castles, and it's a pity that large and comples builds such as castles are impossible to handle all by yourself. Why dont ya team up with Aurelie.
I would love to help out myself, but my present tax situation means that I cannot take on yet another project.
Oh, and regarding the card issue, I have two identical and functional cards for Skee. Maybe she mysteriously lost mine and then could card me again months later?
I reported this when it first happened but both my bug and abuse reports seem to go into a black hole =)
