		<description>Agree with Michael.  The response from the Linden was completely inappropriate.  Very poor form.

		<description>Ive know Nay for almost 2 years.She was a blossoming Dj at the grand opening of my first jazz club Serenity Beach.Thru the years  I have always been able to count on her as a wise,warm hearted friend who always had good late nite advice for me whenever I was down and needed a good smack of reality.It was in one of those late nite reality smacks that Nay told me to do something for myself for once,and enjoy what Secondlife had to offer,that I went and bought 3/4 of a beautiful sim and bult my dream.I was the happiest man in Secondlife as i set up my mansion on my expensive protected waterfront property.I built a great dock and set out my yachts and seaplanes.Friends would come over and water ski and jet ski all nite.I then built a wonderful airstrip and set out my airplanes.I would practice my take offs and landings with no lag whatsoever.Then one day a guy buys land next to mine and puts in a mall with 9000 vendors,a huge volcano with a lagmonster waterfall,and suddenly i cant even walk across my property without lag.In the blink of an eye the man ruins a beautiful neighborhood,I could not fly my planes,my friends and I could no longer waterski,my dream had suddenly became a nightmare.I contacted the Lindens and they told me it wasnt their problem and there was nothing they could do about it.The only advice they could offer me was to buy an island sim and dump my mainland property.Thankfully i was able to find someone to buy my land and I made a nice profit as well,but I lost my dream.It hurt me,and I know it hurts Nay to lose her dream,and now to continue her dream she is forced to try to aquire an island to do it.We all know that this is going to cost someone money that they will never make back.What is my point?Well,guess i dont really have one,all I know is that my bubble has been burst.Just the other day i changed my account status to free for the first time in 2 years.I will not buy anything here anymore.I am tired of supporting people that wont support the little guy anymore and only are interested in numbers of people and how many times a magazine prints an article about them.This isnt the wonderful world i remember,it is a server farm business that has forgotten about the little people that got them where they are.I truly hope that Nay finds a place to be and can reopen so that I can come listen to great music and dance,in the meantime,im not spending a dime in sl until things start to change.

		<description>It&#039;s the insufferable rudeness of the Linden responses in these cases that gets me.

Nicole Linden: Trade1 Whiplash has been told who to contact about this. And mainland region DO NOT get rollbacks. Please do not contact me directly about this again.

&quot;Please do not contact me directly about this again&quot;????  In the time it took Nicole to type her response she could have told Naydee who to contact.  She could have sent a message herself to whichever Linden she directed Trade1 to.  All in a matter of seconds.  This is how the agent of a company that wanted to maintain decent customer relations should have responded.

Nice Nicole Linden:  Sorry to hear about your problem, Naydee.  I&#039;ve directed Trade1 Whiplash to ______ Linden.  I&#039;ve also sent _______ Linden a message myself.  I&#039;m not the person to talk to about this, but if you can&#039;t get in touch with anyone else, let me know and I&#039;ll see what I can do.

Sometimes it seems that the Lindens think taking a few extra seconds to be customer friendly is a waste of time.  Sad.

		<description>This article brings out a few issues, the main one probably being Linden Labs (in)ability to provide sufficient customer support.

It reminds me of the Great Blue Screen of Death in &#039;98, the hours spent on technical support with various avenues at my disposal, or so I thought, trying to breathe life into a computer that had gone through its last crash. Absolutely frustrating.

I like to use backups for files I don&#039;t want to lose now. That&#039;s the second issue that was raised in the comments that I think goes ignored more often than not.

Not to say Linden Lab isn&#039;t at fault for a completely inadequate support system; they clearly need to work on that. But you gotta work with what you have, and if you&#039;re given crap, backup your builds, people.

		<description>Here are some of the main questions that I have, although as a member of the Blue Note myself, I am sad to see that this took place.

1) Why wasnt the build linked?  As far as I can tell, only a small section of the club is gone from the back side.

2) Why didnt someone (since this is group-owned land) have a copy of the build in their invo?

3) Was there any use of mega-prims?

After these questions, my only other concern is that the call for donations has already gone out to BN members.  &quot;If everyone donates just $2500L, we can get our own sim&quot;. Does that mean that everyone who donates that amount becomes an owner?  The Blue Note, the Ice Rink and the Beach did not take up an entire sim.  What is the proposal on the table to do with the rest of the land?

Having traveled there again today, the Ice Rink is now gone and the land is no fly, no entry, no build even for group members.

Whats the explanation now?

		<description>(Im sorry if my english is bad, but Im not a native english speaker. :) )

First:

I dont understand the behaviour of LL.
Why they refuse to co-operate with a respected and well known land owner?
Why did they disappeared when Naydee has asked them to do something?
Why they dont want to at least compensate the damage?
How can they expect the newcomers to buy land, if there is NO support when its needed?

I ... Just dont understand... why?

Even if this faluire was some technical glitch, and no one is responsible for that - I know this can happens sometimes - they supposed to at least respond to that, and say:
-OK, boys and girls, we cant do a rollback because the policy, but we are on the case, and trying to do our best, to provide a solution which is good for all.

Why they dont communicate with Naydee?
What is the reason?
I want to understand!

Second:

I do agree with the fact: Blue Note WILL RISE AGAIN. ;)

But its not &quot;Only a game&quot;... not for Naydee, and not for most of the members.
(not to mention the the RL$ what was needed to build a sim in this excellent quality)

Third:

Personally, Blue Note has touched my soul, and it was - it IS - my second home.
Im checking the scene on every night, because its important for me, to be at there...
Stop for a moment, and see the others whos feel like me, and standing around the closed area.
The place is never empty.

(That was my personal opinion. Nothing more)

		<description>it was group owned land; why hasn&#039;t anyone brought up the idea that maybe one of its many members could have returned it by accident? i&#039;ve never (have you?) been standing in a club that vanished before. so many assumptions here.
