OK, so the original conditions for OS include the phrase “they are provided for light use only, not for building, living in, renting as homes or use for events.” So anyone whining about “their rentals” should keep quiet. Last night I talked to someone who said they are going to leave the OS sim they are living on -not because it is THEIR sim but that their LANDLORD is having to sell it or convert it to full sim. Wait a minute… landlord? It seems the “landlord” bougth a number of low-price OS sims and then rented then out.

Oh come on, boys and girls! That’s profiteering, no more no less. While folks are climbing on high horses and crying “bait and switch” (it’s not “bait and switch”- just a huge price rise that although seems usurious and political inept, is quite legal) some of the folks crying are guilty of breaking the contract they entered into when they agreed NOT to rent out the place. Give me the proverbial break.

Yes, it’s a bad idea to punish all the folks who did the right thing instead of punishing those who broke the rules, but let’s not make those bad folks the heroes.

By the way, I hope you enjoyed your crashed protests.

Linden Lab wants more voided OpenSpace sims? Fine! Let’s all sell our lands and move to OpenLife… this way the Lindens will more empty space than it wants.

LL: I know why your here, Neo. Why you hardly sleep at night, why your now afraid to live alone, and why night after night you sit at your computer. You understand something you cant see. We looked at one time too and evolved beyond that. Neo if you pinch yourself do you feel pain? Is that air your breathing? You think because you “log off” this game your out of the matrix. Your wrong Neo. Do you think your a free man, Is that money your spending real? Neo your still asleep in the Matrix, your a slave to the commonwealth of the british government, IRS is not a US Government entity is a corporation owned and run by the British. Neo you will never be enirely free till you wake up and step out of the box and realize that which you believe is real is not real at all. Neo you still worried about Second Life? Wake up NEO you chose the red tablet its time to see the world for what it really is. There is a much bigger problem for you than Second Life. Second Life will become quite insignificant in the grander scheme of things when you wake up and realize the blanket that has been pulled over your eyes and your living in two Second Lives, the one you sign into every day and the one you have lived all your life that is right before your very eyes in plain sight.

“In your case, Alyx, you were actively in both groups till the PN figured you out and threw you out.”

Actually I was thrown out of PN for being in Furnation Admin – Woodbury had nothing to do with it whatsoever. Learn the truth before you speak.

“Rott: the problem with ford doing that is, unlike SL, which is more or less a pay-to-play service, is that with a car, YOU OWN IT.”

Good point and a bad example on my part. although that highlights another fact that in second life you don’t really own land, just rent it but that is not at issue here.

I think the more important topic of discussion here is that LL is collapsing under the weight of their own stupidity like we’ve been pointing out for the past two years. The difference is in the management and their adaptability. LL cannot adapt to changes or adversity very well, whereas our organization of fine, upstanding afro-wearing, suit-clad individuals have not only adapted to change and adversity, we plunge our plump phalluses directly into the anus of adversity, and fire our steaming white hot hatred directly into its veins.

The point I want to make here gentlemen, is that the Pool is Closed.

I guarantee it.

In your case, Alyx, you were actively in both groups till the PN figured you out and threw you out. Then, since like all emo kids, you decided since it’s all about you anyway, you posted that tell-all article. No wonder you and Tizzers and Intblubber get along so well – your minds all work the same way (defective, but the same). To tell the truth, I’m just waiting for the next shoe to drop – FrizzleFry will be admitting the same thing any time now, going public, trying to become “PN, Esquire” or some bullshit like you and Tizzers tried to do, and then admit he’s the biggest furfag since N3X15, and that job he had as a “dog groomer” was more than just a job to him.

@WitnessX: “”I was a PN toolsmith and a Woodbury goon at the same time, but there’s no link between the PN and Woodbury.” Please.”

This is like saying there’s a link between the US Government and Freemasons because the founding fathers were freema-

Oh.
