“We don’t have those figures. Obviously, as someone who runs 12 land groups with hundreds of customers in Second Life, unlike Alyk Stoklitsky, who is just a bum, I do understand a little bit about data bases and groups.”

This is truely hilarious given the nature of my RL qualifications and work history in database management and systems maintenance.

The fact that I don’t feel the need to own land doesn’t make me a ‘bum’, Prokofy. It just means I have the common sense not to invest real cash in something that doesn’t exist.

Actually, you didn’t have wear your tag to TP in to the party. I got in with my, I don’t know, “I have a green tentacle arm” group activated. But I do suppose you had to stay in the group until liftoff … Anyway, I got the group spam all week and it was nothing as interesting or ground-shaking as you’ve reported. Mostly “Where is the party????” and “But I don’t have a toga, wahhh.” And then LL clamped the chat shut in seconds pretty much each time. It was amusing.

“I hate having to explain everything like this all the time.”

If you wrote better arcticles you wouldn’t need to.

So, the real surprise is that there are only about 7,000 concierge level members? Why? There are about 13,000 islands and 3,000 mainland sims in SL. So there can theoretically be only a maximum of 13,000+5,800=18,800 people holding more than 1/2 of a sim.

Since a number of people are owning more than 1 island or more than 32,768 sqm of mainland, 7,000 concierge members sounds like a number you would expect.

“Just go off and die.”

ZOMFGWTF!1!11!???

porkfritter wished harm – real life HARM to someones!

CRIME!

Artemis! You should write huge screeds, on several different blogs, about the atrocious and criminal immorality of such REAL LIFE HARM statements, and how it’s damaging back the metaverse(s). Make sure to somehow connect it to the Soviets.

In other news, I saw pork’n'stein shedding fake crocodile tears over on her blog about Phillip’s departure. I noticed how porkfritter says she get email responces from Philly Dawg. ZOMG FIC!

I like Artemis.

Why don’t you write about LL potential IPO? Will you be buying any LL stock?

“I hate having to explain everything like this all the time.”

Don’t worry, you’re not alone, I’m sure there are lots of other people as confounded and frustrated as you are when they’re similarly trying to convey to their Doctors why Aliens are out to get them via their cybernetic cow-agents from Mars, in all those mental asylums across the world. I’m sure they’d like you back.

Good article Prok. I laughed at the thought of chaos.

While not a friend of Prok I do appreciate her writing ability and am glad to see an article from her on here. Those above that complain because they think Prok bitches too much must not be familiar with her. Check out her other blogs. She comments on a wide range of issues and balances the critical ones with the complimentary. My only issue with her is the elitist personality that infiltrates some articles. She seems like people I know in RL that are “conversation dominators” who despise the simple art of listening.

Nonetheless, her writing ability is sharp and entertaining so I hope to see more.

You know what, Artemis? Why don’t you just go off and fuck yourself. What purpose would you say you serve by posting your stupid little trite pieces of shit here? No-one likes you, myself included. Just go off and die.
