I think the owner of that site should institute a retroactive fee per post. :p

Actually that would not be such a bad thing.

[rant]I must admit I dislike all this "donate when and what you want" applied with lots of pressure. I prefer upfront actual charges so that I know that I am paying my way properly.
I also hate anything to do with ads, I will not buy any and I will seek to avoid any directed at me. Our lives are too saturated with advertising as it is in my opinion.[/rant]

I'm with you on ads. I can't stand the constant barrage of inanity from Madison Ave. I DVR everything I watch on TV, even if it is just a 10 minute delay so I can skip the commercials. I don't give them a look when reading magazines, and shut my eyes when driving past a billboard. :p

Not exactly. It is ad supported, mostly SL businesses and donations are accepted. It's just a little drama that went on a little earlier. You had to be there.

I went to a few parties there in the early 80's - I even remember seeing Supertramp playing "Breakfast in America" there.

Pep (They were busking outside in a pedestrian precinct)
The Pearl Street mall is a very well known pedestrian mall in Boulder and most of the arts department folks perform over there at various times -- some of the best entertainment going around here, really.

I've decided only to do one - just to minimise the clutter I pick up lol, which is best? the Vain Kissed hunt, or the Greater Love hunt?
Have done about 1/2-2/3 of each, but have not checked prizes, so cannot tell you.

One or two of those posted on Honey's Hunt forum page are for a single item and you just have to find multiple things to get all the item pieces.

So THAT'S how we get Mac back here from across the street.... Ladies, check your inventory. :p


You know something odd. I haven't been at SLU but once or twice in the last week or so. I have been busily making a vampire skin for guys and keeping drama free for the most part.

But you just wave your handkerchief anytime and I will be here quick as light miss Kanto. ;)




From: Gabriele Graves
Mac, just by being here, you have put the smile back on my face that the other forum managed to turn in to a sad - thanks :)


Awww hon.. I have no clue what happened. Here is a huge hug from me to you and I hope things change for whatever is going on there.

I am concerned with this Yahoo style forum Q&A that I have been reading about LL going to. If worse comes to worse and (Linden Gods Forbid) this forum is ever shut down I know the other is not the right fit for some that post in this thread. Not that they are not welcome, but they are just not comfortable. I move that if LL shuts down the forums as we know it and not everyone wants to move across the street that we get a free forum called "The Never Ending Thread" and mod it to feel safe for everyone at work or just safe from the drama.

Only threadies and friends that are known for cool heads and fun banter allowed.

Just an idea..

I am presently on a marathon watching all the shows from "Dead Like Me" (That old showtime series) and am on the next to last disc before I can watch the movie that is coming out. So, I will be back and forth.

HUGS to you all and if I am not back first Valentine hugs and smooches to you all..

From: Gabriele Graves
It seems one big mouth took exception to the fact that my browser adblocks as many website ads as it can. Mainly because he has ads himself, then went on to bitch about how I am not supporting the advertisers or Cristiano.
When I didn't even know there was a non-paypal way of making a donation. An expected donation btw which seems far more like a regular payment if you listen to this malcontent.
Being able just to drop L$ onto Cristiano's av still has not been confirmed by him to be OK - I don't even know if he goes inworld anymore or if he uses or want money on that av.
ahh well I will have to take a chance - I have pretty much been called a freeloader by this person.

Just for the record, I am not in anyway critical off Cristiano or his need for payments, just the bullying that this other person attempted. I think Cristiano does a good job and it is hard to find financial support for a website these days.


Not knowing who or what was said.. without traffic nobody would buy ads. Just going to the place and giving it the stats it gets is support. Yeah, I know lots of people ask for donations but we can't all do that, right? I say showing up and adding to discussions that others find interesting and/or entertaining and brings them back to add to that traffic is supporting it.

You can have 10 people paying to support a site every month but if there are only 10 of them talking about things and no variety in topics and opinions then it is a dead dog. That is not the way SLU is by a long shot.. it is extremely popular. But at the end of the day everyone who clicks the site supports it.

(((Gabriele))) Us vamps suck the life out of stuff, not feed it. :D

Seriously, Cristiano is a good guy (and yes he is often in world) and SLU a great site.. but if you ad block that is tween you and firefox.

*hugs* Thanks Mac, that helps a lot. In fact Cristiano said much the same in an email to me. I have even made peace with the person who upset me and I have to admit I never expected that would happen at all. I think I just hit one of his pet peeves is all. Ahhh well - I just hope he does not read what I put here lol :eek:

It's talk like that what will feed the clique accusations!

I am one of those who isn't comfortable across the street. More accurately, I get acutely irritable if I read over there. When I was posting there, I found myself unnecessarily angry (in a way which I've *never* been here). If LL's forum shuts down, I'll probably just fade away into the forum night.
