Is anyone up for a blog revolt? We could take turns reposting Lindall's Letter. As soon as they lock one someone else could post it so they are unlikely to ban anyone individual.

Arch,

As tempting as that is, I would ask that people NOT take that route. Claire's graciously published it on her blog, and anyone else has my permission to copy and paste it in their favorite blog or third party forum.

I'm not out to annoy the Lindens (this time), I just had a lot of stuff I wanted to get off my chest.

I had my say, and that's enough. Whether they listen or not is up to them.

It's not worth it Arch, honestly, leave them to it over there.

OK I'll say it. Post it on a system designed for petitions that collects signatures. Be careful it is one that does not limit the responses to 100.

And when there are 1500 responses LL can say "We hear you! and we are still doing what we want to do."

Thanks for trying, Lindal.

But I'm confused. Reasons that were pointed out included that was not the place for lengthy discussions. I don't see any mention that "content" was a problem. Was actual "content" a problem?

Sometimes SL feels like we're a bunch of Iranians posting on Twitter while running from the police in the streets of Tehran...

Also posted on mine, I figure the more places its posted, the more likely it is they won't be able to avoid reading it.

Apparently not. Just an "inappropriate place". Of course, as I pointed out in my PS to Lexie, there IS no "appropriate place"...or won't be, after Tuesday.

Ah, well then, Lindal....you know exactly where to insert it, for lengthy discussion :)

And if that does not hit you in 30 seconds or less, call me.

Apparently the new blogforumwhateverthing is designed as a wavebreaker and moderated like a wavebreaker.

LL learned much from 2009.

(We too, by the way - which caused that alternative forums and wikis appeared, slapt.me for example)

Since the Zindra announcements and discussions they (LL) are doing now 7 days short announcements instead of 7 months long ones in front of a major change - and if the smallest resistance appears, a Linden next to it locks or delete the thread.

I do sign the open letter mentaly because this is the enthusiasm for *our* SL we have.

I still wonder why LL is unable to see the value in this.

SL makes only sense in the way it is (or was, until Sept. 09) and in improvements which are able to support the way it exists.

It must not end as a boring clone or twin or appendix of other web applications.

This open letter is - again - very well structured and verbalized.

Instead of to create a fitting and easy to find area for such an expression or to move it to a fitting forum area (a general one for example) they locked it in a second and answered/replied nothing.

They smelled that thousands would sign this/agree with this letter, because of the significant insight the content delivers.

Hmm. Hmm. This gives a taste about how the new forum will be designed and handled.

I have a feeling that there will be no open agora/open room where we could speak freely.

Not on Linden servers.

Should have warned you in advance, Chris....but that fancy new system over there, does not acknowledge paragraphing, after you copy and paste.


oooops....never mind.

Dammit. they can't do a freaking thing right. It is sad to watch this company slowly swirling around the bowl as it goes down.
