Trying to look like the next Chris Donothan is so 2008.

LL CEO Mark Kingdon’s choice of people to axe (a whole lot of concierge team members, virtually no g-team members, and a whole lot of Lindens you never heard of) is demonstrating that M has figured out that the major problem with Second Life is that it is full of people. Bitchy whiney people, to be exact. Generally bitchy whiney people who don’t spend as much money as it costs to maintain the resources they consume. Too many effing Scots (er, Brazilians).

No, Mark pines for the day when the only people in Second Life are employees of one of the major corporations that pay them insane amounts of money for Class 6 servers in walled gardens. These sort of people don’t require squat for customer support, even tho they each get a personal Linden to see to their every need.

The Lab is more than happy to ethnically cleanse the rest of you off the grid so you can go waste Adam Zaius’ time on osgrid. They are of course more than happy to see you go, abandoning all your intellectual property to them which they can then go and resell to their corporate clients…

Great article, Pappy.

I do admit a fondness for Jumpman Lane’s butt, that that am a different thing.

Rite now, we should all be full o’ sweetness n’ light, folks! Ol’ King Mark done fired a heap of them Lindens (proberly he needed the money to buy a bigger throne).

Now them flyin’ monkeys who didn’t git the axe will be so busy they’ll never find this po’ boy’s squat. I don’t reckon we’ll be fussin’ over SL fashions in a year…won’t be no fake world from LL to kick around like an ol’ steer’s skull in “Hillbilly Soccer.”

I kinda think that that outcry ‘Gaaaaa…aaay’ was aimed at me for having a female avatar. (And what if I was gay?)

You’re absolutely right, though, to point out that style conscious does not equal gay.

Still, I can see why Pappy felt the need to comment on these pictures. You can take style too far and we don’t need a new breed of anorexic role models.

I’m rather tall and pretty skinny myself. Im of the body type that can get a folded lung at random. But I still dont look like I could break in half attempting to pick up a pillow, like these guys… If there is something wrong with them, I’d say its anorexia.
And a failure to create a shape that looks, dare I say it, realistic.

Also, if this is what’s in fashion these days, Im glad I never bothered to keep up with it, lest I’d be forced to look like a hobo too. Im just gonna stick to my camo cargo pants.

Melissa. calling these guys, specially the second pic, well groomed, is stetching the definition very, very far. Someone needs to shave their chest, seriously. It looks ridiculous.

PS people in general in SL are gigants, on the subject of being tall… 2 meters is about the max for your average RL person, compare that size to your SL avatar for fun sometime. I wish LL wouldnt have used the metric system in retrospect, then maybe SL avatars would be normal sized…

Darien, believe it or not some guys actually KNOW how to dress and KNOW fashion, and no not all of them are gay.

People who equate being style conscious and well groomed to gay need to seriously grow up and get with the times. The only one who’s looking bad here are the ignorant commenters.
