Linden Lab has screwed with me a lot of times over stupid Griefers to closing my account Perm twice but yet I have actual proof saved to my hard drives of their old Terms OF Service, and many records of Linden Lab abuse including the fact that people can use Second Life service to illegally Launder Money, Gamble, and anyone can start a casino without even a license, and that is just the begining of some of the stuff I have.

I even have proof of Linden Lab banning Innocent personal without any reason from SL other than Pranks made to Linden Lab, and many other things to go along with that.

Linden Lab also can Terminate an account any time they please true they own the servers, but if you Spoof your hardware information using an illegal viewer, use a complete seperate gateway, and a VPN WTF is Linden Lab going to do about it I mean they Dont ask for.

1. Credit Card Info, or Even your RL Name unless you buy Land or upgrade to premium, so SL is an as is Service.

*Other*

As for why SL is loosing its customers, it is simple, Linden Lab needs to Remove Spyware systems like Red Zone, Skills Hak’s CDS System that Violates peoples privacy, and the Community Standards under Defame Residents, and harassment, but Linden Lab wont do anything because Skills Hak has connections with a ton of Militaries, Content Creators, and Owns Gemini Industries yet every connection I have seen Skills Hak with has lead back to a Copybot supporter somewhere including the people who are hosting Copybot content for free download, Prove me wrong now will ya, oh wait I talk shit yet Skills Hak filed false DMCA on my videos and I counter filed Lulz.

The name System sucks, and they need to allow residents to generate last names, and or create their own Last Name to get more customers.

As for the Copy Bot it will always remain in Second Life & Out Side of Second Life, there is nothing you can do about it but abuse report, and DMCA report it, and or take legal actions over other people selling your work when you don’t even know who they are because LL doesn’t requrie any ID or anything, So good Luck with such LL will remove any and all CopyBot content they can but simply there is too much, and Don’t think about going to Avination, as I have seen Copy Bot used over there and it still functions if you are not a dumbass.

So over all who just got Served a Cold Dish? Linden Lab lol.

this game is over to me, long time ago

I have never experienced this kind of issue in my year of continual, daily SLing. Either your computer is having issues, or your connection sucks. Other than that, problems with rez speed tend to be highly sensitive to how the builder of a sim chooses to organize, texture and script their objects. Also, avatar script load can have an effect on the sim’s ability to process data in a timely fashion, if said sim is already full of badly-written scripted objects and suchlike when you get there.

All I can do is laugh at this article. I’m sorry.

The problem is virtual worlds are becoming more and more commoditized; the future is multilayered integrated public grids on small and large screens. LL could be seen as a response to the cyberpunk ethos in the minds of its early proponents (I admit I fell for it, hook, line and sinker) – which in the dystopian Tessier-Cesspool void that is the LL grid today, has no cultural context with the networked generation of practically cradle plugged in hyperactive dilettantes. In this ecosystem regurgitating the same old system and slathering on a thin veneer of ‘new’ features can only get you so far. Underneath it is still the same-old same-old – with the emphasis on old (although not as old as the oldest continuously running 3D sim currently in operation: Active Worlds circa 1995).

If they want to remain relevant they will have to push the envelope significantly. I thought they were going to make interoperability a reality – but after tentatively dipping their toe into Open Grid Public Beta, they soon gave up and closed it down. Given the departure of Philip, and the control of LL firmly in the hands of suits, I don’t see it happening.

That leaves a long slow decline. I predict 5 years from now we’ll look back on LL and wonder what happened – much as I do now when I think of Active Worlds. I won’t be crying though – it will be more like – to use an automobile analogy – wondering how we ever managed to get around on those old horse drawn wagons, compared to the sleek flying cars we all use now-a-days…

1. The new user names suck, and need to allow us to create our own Second Life First & Last name, or revert back to the old system, as far as display names, IMO those could be fine however in some cases I have seen display names used to Troll against new residents who don’t know that it is a display name, and me myself I always use old names anyways.

2. Viewer 2 is a piece of crap, Sure it could be good but I do not like the interface layout, and would like the option to modify and customize my own viewer 2 in world like any other game that I play on the internet, such as revert back to the old classic interface and still be using viewer 2.

3. Spyware Systems such as, ZF Red Zone, which was banned from Second Life, and Client Detection System (CDS), no one wants to spend money in a game where one resident has control over a large portion of the grid, and can bring harm to many residents, every since my name got add to his data base I stop spending around 10-20K Every month in SL, so I no longer buy stuff much, and when I do it isn’t really much.

Linden Lab needs to remove these from Second Life, and if the users refuse to comply then remove their accounts, I know that I talked to Zfire Xue about Red Zone, he admit to working against my account and manually adding my name, and he should have removed the system when Linden Lab asked, but instead he challenged people to hack his server on his own forums and someone did, and as he did not listen to LL they removed his account and his system.

4. When there is so many ripped freebies going around the grid and newbs who freely collect them and use without knowing who needs to buy new content, and btw I did see the Gothicatz store on the internet for download every single item they have ever created, but I thought Skills Hak was suppose to protect them, Obviously not?

Here is the links to a few things I have found.

Also many popular places I once played at are gone from SL, such as NOR which was once 32+ Regions is only 12 regions now.

DCS Island no one plays there anymore.

No BNWCS combat sims without rules anymore.

Very few GOR sims without Copybot content on them );

The old system allowed for more Bella’s, Pixie’s and whatever other first names people wanted. They should have kept the old naming system BUT still allowed one to change their display name. How uncomplicated is that?

I HATE looking at my friends list now. I HATE that some of my “friends” seem to be unable to make up their mind on what name they go by. All these years they went by such and such and I log in one day to find they changed there name to something silly or entirely different. It’s jarring and upsetting.

Call me an old fart I don’t care. First life it’s not so easy to change your name. It should be the same way in secondlife and it shouldn’t be free.

I can understand wanting to change your display name to take on the last name of one’s current spouse of the month or to get rid of those very stupid numbers telling everyone the year you were born or graduated or change it to something more respectable since your avatar isn’t stripping anymore.

Sadly, the way the name system is set up now seems to only fit the moronic whims of roleplayers. What you idiots can’t include your character’s name in that block of text telling everyone you smell like flowers or dirt or something ubber macho mainly?

Sorry but someone can’t make a witty secondlife name then perhaps they are too stupid to play secondlife.

Then there is trying to ban someone. Because of the new naming system it IS more complicated. The Linden’s lied…they seem to do that a lot. Before all you had to do was cut and paste the name into your add to ban list. Now you have to fuss with removing the period between their first and last account name and restoring the space. And that is only if some hapless noob was smart enough to get that instead of the display name.

Rant out!

Here’s another one, it’s a TED talk with some brainiac going on for 20 mins about being wrong. I think it sums up LL’s situation pretty well. LL is like the road runner who has run off a cliff but hasn’t looked down yet to realize he’s about to fall.

The past few months has seen the beginnings of a major shift in online culture and technology. Game engines are getting more accessible, movers and shakers of the online counter culture are trying to be more safe for work and respectable. Things like the cypherpunk movement are exploding into things like wikileaks and the Egyptian revolution. ED sold out, I Can Haz Cheezburger bought RocketBoom, moot is recreating the image board to be more safe for work. VC funding is flowing freely in silicon valley. The remixers on canv.as are asking to be able to remix video games. What do you think all the /b/ tards are going to do when they realize that they can remix together on the cry3 engine? LL should be marketing SL as a remix portal, but they don’t realize what their product actually does. They’ll be left behind if they don’t do something drastic. Consumption in SL sucks. Making stuff in SL is still cool… for now.
