[heavy mocking sarcasm] Here it is: Raise the Lindex Fees for L$ sellers from 3.5% to 10% ! (and drop the $0.30 lindex fees for buyers, AND give out 5 FREE L$ with every 100 L$ bought via the Lindex!) Who can turn down free stuff? And how can IGE and Anshe's exchanges compete with that?
Like... Who cares about teh consequenses. [/heavy mocking sarcasm]

No! What we need is a NEGATIVE STIPEND! Multiplied by 1,000 for free users because they're just spongers and Ayn Rand wouldn't like them.

Free users L$50 can't harm, it mostly induces a buying habit that can lead to buying lindens or going premium. I m in favour of it. Free stuff is always the best way to allure to shop more.

Another silly thread about play money! I pay for my stipend as part of my "Preimum" membership with Linden Labs and expect them to get their bargin with me.

Aleister, you're not alone. Coming from the Xbox Live world, this whole typing thing is so '90s, must... have... voice... chat... And being on the old side myself, the acronyms often have me stumped. And my personal refusal to denote laughter and sarcasm explicity...
As for the money situation, I couldn't care less, I pay for everything, sell nothing, so tell me how to make the L$ worth even less, that's the thread I want!

Well, personally, I feel that you can never have too much sarcasm and freaking out.

I like the idea of opening a restraunt selling Kentucky Fried Tarn and Sweet and Sour Gorean! Then contribute the proceeds to Linden Labs to pay stipends!

Stands back and waits for waves of ridicule and pity  zOMG, I'm not really sure either!  I saw it in the thread title and it was funny, so I added it to my posts in this thread.  I think it's the standard "OMG", only with "z" in front!

From: Schwanson Schlegel Buy high, sell low. It's really easy and fun! I'll help by selling to you and buying back lower. I'm not some tin-pot economist talking about fixes not willing to do anything! I'm willing to be bumped up into the next tax bracket if it means lowering the Linden to USD$1/5000L to eliminate the evil that is stripends by making them worthless.

*rushes into shower to wash off the unclean feeling she gets when using leet* Got all that except w1/\/! (win.. one ? lost completely otherwise..) So not quite so fluent in 1337 as I thought... bummerz0rz... or something.. I'll have to sign up for a class somewhere, never been much good at languages anyway, I have enough trouble with English and that is supposed to be native for me, mind you I can handle Neaderthal quite well...

So from this poll, we determine that:
PIE SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS.
That is all. Good night.
