As we all don't want the same thing, this would be one hell of a long strike.

Is there a Milton Keynes themed sim anywhere? ;)
Maybe if we put "cows and roundabouts" into search? Other than that, I did a little research, and figured Jig Chippewa has the answer:

/327/f5/191615/1.html#post1555268
/327/e3/190951/1.html#post1555278

Either that or Jig isn't too fond of Milton Keynes. :p

how many would it take to make a difference? 1000? 10,000? They could write off 20,000 of us and be back where they were….ummm a month ago!
Good luck but they know that they’ve got me hook line and sinker.

oh...sorry. we're now off topic arnt we

Edy your last strike didn't work so well -- the toothpaste and deodorant companies are still in business.

They do listen and I think they read the forums.

I posted on a thread to say that I was online in SL for nearly 7 hours today.

I relogged and not even 1 hour went by and I got crashed out.

They must of read my thread and thought, " not having any of that then, 7 hours, crash him when he returns and that'll teach him".

See, they listened...


LMAO!! Same thing happened to me.. cept I was in world, and made a comment about something SL related, and I swear to the Gods I crashed 5 seconds later .. So they're listening... Big Brother is watching!! MUHAA HAA HAA HAA haa haa haa.. .. ..

I am already striking.
Not buying any more lindens.
Not that they listen to just me but who knows maybe they would if enough were serious.
But I am not striking over not being able to gamble.

You guys are hilarious! :D:D:D thanks for this post!

But seriously, folks, the only thing LL would pay attention to is if you did another project open letter stating that if your demands aren't met by a set date six months after receipt of the letter then everyone that signed will not log in for a month and downgrade their accounts.

They take ANY logins as positive numbers, kids!! Have you people been paying attention to the whole "6 million users is great!" thing they've been into for the last year?

But either way it won't happen. You guys have short attention spans and are hopelessly addicted to SL and I don't see that changing...LL probably doesn't, either!

Well ... since the other two threads have been closed ...

Should we come back to the topic of Milton Keynes?

EDIT: Damn. Alyx beat me to it.)

No they don't the whole reason they shut down most of the forums is because they don't care what we say. They certainly don't listen. There was so much complaining about the new communication center that replaced history and ims that they promised it would be removed before it went live. Sure sounds like they care what we say.

If you think anything you say here is read by a linden you are fooling yourself. The only thing they pay any attention to is the blog which more and more now has comments turned off because they don't want to hear the complaints or Jiira.

Lets face it they will do as they wish regardless of what we think, you can either continue to play or not it's that simple. A strike will do no good because you would need 80% of the users minimum to strike and you couldn't get 20% to do it.

Games die a very slow death they never go out with a flash so just keep plugging till it's to much for you.

God ur not moaning again Edy r u? I was watching over my partners shoulder the other day, ( yeah life sucks we have to share a PC lol ) while she was mentoring on Help Island public and i recall u did nothing but moan at her bro about how you couldnt make money and you havent even been in game long, just like RL these things take time and hey I know LL sucks sometimes but its not a get rich quick scheme and if all else fails then just uninstall SL and dont pay LL anymore money :) Or you could use the anger you have and channel that energy into something positive in SL and maybe if put the same energy into constructive stuff as u do destructive u just may succeed ;)

I will also have to go along with Jessica's post as well but really if SL isnt any fun anymore and causing you this much anger then just leave and find somewhere else better to play cos for all its faults and problems atm its all we got :) apart from that it might save you money on future counselling sessions when u finally lose it ;)

Peace bro

You might want to visit the Residents Answers forum more often, where this thread originated, and look for a certain other thread started by Edy.

The nature of this particular answer will then be made clear to you.

Oh, and did I menion hat moving this thread here has seriously hurt it?

Should we all stop login online for a while and make a strike so we get LL listen us for once and for all?



Fantastic idea!

That way we can all still pay our prem membership and our tiers, our stores will strand empty with cobwebs growing, our linden balances will dwindle and float away. BUT... We'll teach them Lindens!...


:rolleyes:
