I actually learned about having two inventory windows open for organzing stuff in the MOTD. They should put up more helpful stuff tho, not just 4 or 5 messages.
Oooh, how about
"Did you know that the more scripts you run on your avatar, the more you slow down the region you're in?"
"The term "rez" comes from the movie Tron and means blah blah"
"A prim is any object in Second Life. It can be combined with other prims to make complex objects."
"Second Life was started using a Commodore 64 computer and a 1200 baud modem"
You know, basic trivia, more helpful facts, tips, etc.

From: Jessica Elytis Alright, I'm looking for some serious-minded feedback here (though I expect a bit of sarcastic humor will creep in).
The current MotD's are things like "Want to return to Help Island?......" and "Did you knwo you can zoom on the mini-map by clicking on it?...." and other small tidbits. Some usefull (the mini-map is fro new Residents), and some worthless (who would want to return to HI when it doesn't teach you anything anyway?).
My question (yes I have one) is: What MotD's do you think would benifit the community?
Example, my ideas:
"Have questions about scripting? Building? Land ownership? Anything else? Ask your fellow Residents on the Official Linden Forum (url here)."
"Have a problem? Visit the Support Protal (url here) and search through the Knowledge Base (url here), or sumbmit a Support Ticket for further assistance (url here)."
"Visit the JIRA page (url here) to look at features/fixes in the works. Vote for ones you feel should be done first."
Bascially, I'm of the mind that LL should move daily communication like this to be more geared to finding how to FIND the information, rather than on tiny tidbits of information.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
~Jessy I agree completely. This could also potentially help the Lindens crawl out into the open again since I suspect they've gone into seclusion because of all the dumb questions/complaints they must get from people that don't do their homework and find the proper channels to deal with that through. Being nice to them would also help, but that's for another post! But back to the point. I agree with you completely, Jessy. Good call!

No offense but I have no idea what you are talking about.

From: Brenda Connolly "If that Avatar you just met at the Club were really that sexy, do you think they'd be wasting their time here?" That's a good one  and really useful too. So many people develop a huge online crush on someone who neither matches their avatar nor their "RL photos" in RL. Only if you keep in mind "they probably look just like me or worse", you can really enjoy online relationships for all they're worth.

"If that avatar you just met is really that sexy, the chances are that their RL partner is bigger than you .. and you *are* traceable"
