Linden Lab lays of 30% of Staff!

Holy Linden Moly!!

I wonder how this new development will affect the number of bots and campers inworld? With 30% less Lindens on staff, will the bots go rampant with no one left to enforce the ‘almost‘ bot\camper policy?

Only time will tell. It may be time to stock up on extra bot repellent. This is going to be one wild ride of a year for Second Life.

Hell has definately frozen over down at Linden Labs…

I sent the owner an IM. Still waiting to hear back.

Hey. I noticed the Green Dot Project seems to be defunct now. Maybe I’ll contact the owner and see if he’ll let me take over the site. In the meantime, I’m starting a new blog called The Bot Zone:

I concur. 50% is about right.

I’m glad to see someone (a couple of someones, looks like) has made a study of this.

For months (maybe over a year), I’ve estimated the number of bots at close to 50% myself.

MAKE BOTSPOTTING YOUR HOBBY!
post beautiful pics of bots everywhere. why not including the name of the SIM? make people aware that there are bots IN MASSES and how to estimate traffic.
and its a thrill to locate those guys

I completely agree with the above. until this is exposed, we will continue to see more and more bots. We need to start posting the pictures and the sim names. I am all for that and I am going to start doing this because it is getting ridiculous. what is the most absurb is that many people have never seen these bot farms because they never look for them.

I stumbled accross my first bot nest by accident and now i know for a fact that the numbers are off. When you see 70k users online, you can be assured almost half are bots.

lets start posting the pics now to show these non-beleivers, and also, so that linden is forced to get the traffic numbers adjusted to be what they really are. And currently, the numbers are off by 50%, and that is a fact.

Someone who wanted a name of a sim that has bots. well, try Tuzandi, 28 bots sitting in a bubble doing nothing all day long. (dania’s garden paradise). and this is only 1 location.

234,219,726

they are real and i would believe the green dot project is real as well. i was shocked once i started to notice them.

It was almost like being in an alien movie where everyone was stuck in a cocoon, only in sl, its a small little bubble, and you can’t even have fun with them by knocking them all to the ground. i am certain that the linden numbers truly are closer to 35k per day, not anywhere near 70k, open up your eyes people.

“I have no pitty for anyone who is\was STUPID ENOUGH to actually pay Linden Lab for Pixels. Also just FYI, for the cost of your adverage run of the mill animated sex bed, you could most likely go to a REAL LIFE BAR, buy some one a drink and have REAL LIFE SEX, or you can go, spend that money on a Sexbed in Secondlife and masturbate to a naked female avatar who in reality is most likely a 40 year old, fat, single, male living in his parents attic!”

Yeah but maybe I play Second Life because I AM that 40 year old fat, single, male living in my parents’ attic, and I’m just making money off all the tools who wanna get off to my shapely female vagina-laden av. Yes…yes…lots and lots of spacebux for my virtual vagina mwahahahahahha

“Bwahahah, the GLC is going after inanimate Bots…”

They are?

“…now that all the griefers have gotten bored and left.”

They have?

This is news to me.

@lol:
“… spend that money on a Sexbed in Secondlife and masturbate to a naked female avatar who in reality is most likely a 40 year old, fat, single, male living in his parents attic!”

Shit! How did you find out? And I thought I’d done so well at hiding my Real Life identity. Guess I’m going to have to move to Twinity…
