Yeah sometimes SL just isn't much fun.

:eek:


Sometimes RL isn't much fun either.

You are not supposed to refer to people directly on the forums. Why people refuse to respect this is a mystery to me. Discuss the topic and save your direct and by-name criticism for PM or in game, where you may be ignored and the public will not be bothered with sniping.

Unless you're looking for a fight.

I'm also sure that if the admins feel the post should be moved, they will move it. Odd how some of the most devout Linden lovin' types seem to phase in out and of respect for the admins ability to do their job.

# Flaming, Spamming, Trolling – Flaming (posting a message that is intended to incite anger or directly attack a person or persons), Spamming (multiple posts of the same topic or discussion), and Trolling (a post with an intentionally contrary opinion written with the intent of inciting or getting argumentative opinions) are strongly discouraged. If you think your post might be over-reactive, or that it might fall into one of these definitions, please reconsider posting.

I would say the above is at least borderline. Just look at where it has taken the thread. Although I may have been wrong about the name thing, you did lead me to discover why the post is in fact inappropriate. The manner of the post is clearly all about provoking a particular speaker, not furthering the topic at hand. A classic troll.

Save your personal advice, stick to the topic.

Thank you for your assistance.

If RL was for everybody there would probably be no SL, so what is so odd about SL not being for everybody? The only thing I find odd is the amount of verbiage these posts generate. Good luck to you Rob. End of story.

First, this should be in Notices and Well Wishes. :)

Second, Robert, I've never met you inworld but I wish you well on your travels, and if you go to Basic and just leave your account around, it leaves open-ended possibilities to come back should you change your mind.

Take care. :)

Thanks for reminding me of the good sides of the game - people like you - don't think we ever met but I think you get the point :)

It would be interesting to try and find out what the oldest build is that has always been on the same piece of rented land (not owned originally, via group, deed, whatever, in any way, by the tenant). I'll bet it ain't that old. Another interesting tidbit might be, what is the average time a tenant will actually lease the land.

Tcoz, now that Stellar's treehouse is gone I think that YOUR house is the oldest non-Linden owned and persistent building. It's been there a good 22 months, at least, hasn't it?
This is actually something we ought to know, if just for the sake of history.

Hmmm I always assumed stellar was a linden alt. Asking them is pointless since they will deny it even if it's so, so I just stopped asking/believing. There's more than one player out there denying anything to do with LL when it's just so obvious it's not true. Either way I'll miss that treehouse. Then again there was a time everybody thought I was a Linden alt (a time I'm sure is long gone though).

However, I do not rent the land, I own it and always have, which sorta makes my point. Had I rented it I'm sure the house would be long gone due to ownership/land owner leaving/whatever. And, I'll bet no other build on rented land even comes close to it in age, or ever will.

So, as far as the facts available are concerned...you want a piece of SL, with all the trappings of longevity and permanence, you buy the land. If you don't mind the build 'n burn lifestyle, land ownership may not be as hard a requirement. Before you argue "build 'n burn", consider which builds have been around longer and are more evolved...ones on owned, or rented, land.

HI GUYS!

Flipperdee pointed me to this thread so I thought I would add my 2 cents.

I am a $9.95 one-time-fee user. Haven't paid a dime since my initial sign-up a year and 3 months ago. I somehow manage to keep myself entertained but your results may vary. :D

Thats not fair, Aimee. Everyone knows you're really the secret source of Phillip Lindens divine power. Like the vaunted ravens in the Tower of London, if she leaves Second Life, the Reign of King Phil falls too!!

Unlike the ravens, we don't keep her wings clipped. I mean, we tried but...lets just say that every week, I go to the asylum and visit the few remaining survivors of the Green Beret platoon we sent in, the last time we tried. :D
