Anyone noticed the police blotter the past few days? A good chunk of it is for people misposting items as events and spamming people to visit their place of business. Granted, I do not support spam and hate to see events filled with ads, but dayem there are a ton of warnings being issued!!! Is this a result of the dwell going away? People gotta get ghetto to get business??? Marsellus Wallace Boss, The Sim Mafia www.thesimmafia.com That’s not the only thing Linden Lab is killing.

I suspect the Lindens needed to find some sacrificial lambs to feed to the content barons and land barons bitching about the really sucky cashout rate now for Lindens ($300/$1.00 US today). Plus, removal of ALL incentives and world-crutches (like telehubs) is a to-do list they've pursued with grim determination for the last 18 months I can see. It's really just a matter of whether you can persuade them about how to sequence it differently or not. I agree.

That's a growth rate of 1%/mo. (Or to but it much more simply; the amount added by dwell to the money pool is essentialy insignificant.) As usual the Lindens make a 'fix' that has little to do with the problem - and punishes the innocent rather than guilty. (Camping chairs have never been about dwell or DI. They are all about Find.) $L4.7M into a total money pool of $L600M… That’s a growth rate of 1%/mo.
