I do not like emerald and do not trust Phoenix for that matter. But I agree, it sounds to me like they found some left over emerald garbage in their code and are doing the right thing by making everyone aware of it and fixing the problem.

@ Bubblesort Triskaidekaphobia

At least they admitted they have a problem and requested the broken version to be banned instead of saying everyone else is lying. Besides, almost nobody used 1.5.0.1, so the data they would’ve gotten may not have been noticeable. In addition, there is no mention that the information was actually stored anywhere.

Pheonix has proven that they are just as untrustworthy as emerald.

From their blog:

“A few days ago we discovered a bug in our first release viewer ver 1.5.0.1 which sends the avatars first and last name to our server on login. This information is not used in any way and this bug does not exist in any of our other releases. We have sent a request to Linden Lab to block this version for the above reason AND because that version was FULL of bugs. We will also be blocking 1.5.0.0 Linux because of bugs as well. We have had many great updates and improvements since then and would like any users still running that build to upgrade.”

That’s from the blog, a post dated Oct 17, 2010. They have been collecting this data for how long? How did they not know it was putting information on their server? Were they all like, “I don’t know why our server is filling up with information, maybe we should ignore it and see if it goes away instead of looking at what is coming in.”

All you’ll ever get from anybody who was ever connected with Modular Systems is bullshit and lies.

Another example: Phox never came through with his LL tell-all.

Quite Typically How Linden Lab’s handles situations, Unlike how the TPV Works it’s just common on how they ban People for Stupid Absurde Reasons that are Unknown to the Public until the Person who is banned tells it all Like myself.

So when is Skills Hak going to get banned from SL, he has like god knows how many alt accounts and is defiantly abusing CDS, and IP Logging.

[2010/09/20 6:08] Skills Coy: you stop using HXO life Martini?
[2010/09/20 6:08] Skills Coy: Yes?

Emerald was a brilliant viewer – but the silly buggers had to play, well Silly Buggers.

So I guess the most silly of them will now find nasty things to do instead as revenge – pity.

Why not enable world peace – at least that way someone will remember your name after you are dead, this time….

Dave Bell,
You are absolutely correct. Uri, Pix, Tizzers and I will be judging submissions from groups that would like to be featured as the New Axis of Evil in SL. Please submit your spell corrected applications to Pix with the names of all key players, their nicknames, alts, and their roles in the group, the full name of the group and any nicknames you would like to be known by, a description of the origination of the group and what activities you engage in which will outrage the community enough to lead to your eventual mass banning.

We will be producing a machinima tv show titled “SL’s Got BAWWW!!!” that the top submissions will be invited to participate in.

Why am I getting the feeling that some people involved with the Alphaville Herald are looking for a new Big Bad, so they can carry on being shocked at events in Second Life?

Emerald has been such a good thing for them.
