Someday Bri, I too will have the time to stalk people's plurks, blog posts, forum posts so I can keep a log of stuff to use later. And seriously? Chunk? Honey, I've seen your RL Pic. Glass house much? (btw, is the strung out look still in? Really?) And then maybe someday I'll get an african american husband and then e-date a girl that says most black people are criminals.
If only someday....
And before you sit there and go "OMG Witty Retort!!" I've already logged off and I am now doing something more fun and will probably not come back to this thread. Toodles.

Yeah, I don't know. It's a tough call. Whether they're using the MOTD effectively is another barrel of hate, but it IS the only message almost everyone sees. _____________________

Anyone else amused that we had a huge fuss about trademarks and brand confusion, and now, this?
Just sayin'.  |

I never meant to imply I agree with or support what they did, or that its fair or good for SL in the long run.
Only that as a business, it is understandable that they pay attention to their main source of income (land tier) and their largest customers (large estate owners) If you want to know my personal feelings about using the MOTD for ads, consider I have a plugin called "Ad Blocker Plus" installed on my Firefox web browser. |

/me yawns.
So they're now ads. Ignore 'em if you don't like 'em. It's been a revenue stream waiting to be tapped. Is anybody really suprised this happened? _____________________

Once the grid is sufficiently sanitized for the Corps, your scenario is not too far off.

And I agree. There should not be spam in the MOTD, no matter who it's from. _____________________

Why do people use the word "spam" for everything they don't like? The MOTD ad isn't spam. It's an ad that the system owners put there. Monty Python enthusiasts ? |

Here is a reply from Adam Z from SLU
http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/30768-zomg-advertising-second-life-motd.html#post715164 "- I can tell you based on my early indications, we probably moved 120,000sqm of land today. For reference, on friday we did 160,000sqm[?]. So the results arent really what everyone thinks they are." _____________________
