Yesterday the Concierge list was disrupted once again with fights as somebody began spreading the rumour about the Lindens removing traffic. I don't think they are actually doing that now, but I did forget to put it on my "What Next?" list -- they will do it, if they feel enough pressure, or if they...

I was found it nauseating to watch Zee Linden take a star turn in the forums. It convinced all but the most seasoned and cynical in SL, and prompted some fanboyz to gush that it was a class act. People left the thread saying that, wow, aren't they reasonable guys, why, Zee even admitted they screwed...

Remember the other day when I posted a blog entry about Second Life's "Negative Numbers"? I looked at the numbers that are indicators of health or trouble in the virtual world, and found these figures going down: o number of inworld businesses, or people with "Positive Monthly Linden Flow," taking i...

What about the people with no talent? I was very moved by Sarah Nerd's post on her possible downsizing. I always watch Sarah Nerd carefully, as she is a good, honest business that has a healthy combination of rentals, land sales, community, and content production and sales. You really have to scampe...

First of all, thanks for writing back after all these years! Yes, for at least four if not five years, Second Life residents have been sending open letters to the Lindens, protests, manifestos, petitions, and demands. They've collected 5 signatures or 50 or even 5,000! No one has ever written back! ...

I pretty much boycott the Lindens. But I thought things have gotten so bad, I really needed to show up at Jack Linden's Office hour with a pitchfork and torch. So I did. He mouthed the usual platitudes. The situation is dire. Jack says he wants people to be able to chose the level of unpredictabilit...

I think this question, which some have always proposed, which is being discussed more and more here and there, needs to be debated, and not debated from the usual one-sided sectarian perspective that so often dominates the JIRA or forums. I don't think the issue of flattening or steepening tier can ...

Bay City. Good for the economy of Moles, Lindens, and land barons, but is it good for your economy? At the Sutherland Dam discussion on Friday, a land baron said something very interesting -- I don't know if it is true or not, but it sure makes sense. He said that the reason that the Lindens suddenl...

I can't believe I forgot to mention this good deed when I talked about the others. On one of the most contentious P-JIRA entries, WEB-382, Alexa Linden came in and left a remarkable comment: Alexa Linden - 29/May/08 03:12 PM - edited Reviewing this Pjira - people's choices of posts and actions here,...

I don't know why I'm particularly bullish on Linden this week -- it's a mere coincidence. Their three good deeds were half-full/half-empty jobbers anyway -- and hey, don't think these good deeds explain why I took their side on the birthday thing, that was separate. I just have to call these things ...
