I thought that Linden Lab was the pseudonym being used by Viale Linden now he is the Community Manager because it would be awkward to square his promotion of the disnified aspects of SL to the general public with his association with the Adult Continent.

My friend and I used to have competitions to see who could do the dirty with hostesses quickest. They were obviously desperate for money or they would not be doing such a demeaning job so I used to cheat by offering them sums of L$ they could not turn down whereas my friend considered it a failure if he couldn't bed them without bribery.

Or was that "White Chicks for Black . . . " or "Black Chicks for Black . . . I am a member of all of them actually. It's just as well to cover all the bases.

I have not read the whole thread but I think that you might find a satisfactory answer (as I myself have certainly found considerable satisfaction) by joining the inworld group "Black Chicks for White . . . erm . . . Richards"

. . . to start a Vampire Forum when there is a sparsely populated Role Playing subforum already in existence? Or do LL know something about Annie O'Toole that suggests that it isn't just a fantasy?

Don't be so hard on Melanie, she has two whole forum posts to her name so she must be completely au fait with the culture here.

It is fairly apparent that Rod has lost his grip over the forums now Lexie has disappeared and the new Community Manager has declared Unilateral Rule. But does he know what is being done in his name?

I really do not understand what you people are all complaning about since although I did not see the post that got the miscreant permabanned I am sure that it was redolent with hatred for Vampires who are as everyone knows the sweetest beings to be found in Second Life and even more hatred for the misunderstood and hardworking moderation team and its new leader who are taking wonderful new initiatives to engender a little spirit in these dilapidated forums. Bravado I say to the actions of these guardians of moral might! Bravado for executing their duties so fearlessly in removing from these forums someone who might have been considered a noisome plague since she joined, offering unacceptably thoughtful opinions in a manner which the less discriminating might consider "civilised". It's just as well the mods can see through that sort of deceptive sarcasm, isn't it! So let that be a lesson to all you other posters who contribute views that do not conform with the marketing strategy of LL. Your transparent desires for education, information and entertainment, in contravention of the final paragraph of the Community Guidelines, must be constrained, or retribution will be exacted.

Not OVERmoderation but moderation that meant that even if you obeyed the Guidelines ad TOS your posts could still be deleted. Many posters felt that it was a waste of time composing constructive coherent rational or even humorous posts if they were going to get taken down because one person or a mod felt oversensitive that day. Some of us still do.

@Storm:Actually the way the forums are laid out your cigar smoke must be drifting up inside DQs skirt.

@DQ: I made the request on these forums. You or one of your cocensors probably had the post removed.

@Dillon: Your response does not do much to dissuade those who believe it was the LWL themselves who persuaded the powers that be to remove a threat to their cosy existence nor does the offhand response of the cofounder and I am not just saying this because my application to join your terpsichorean oenophile coven seems to have been consigned to File 13.

MaryAnne - The Guidelines do not have anything in them about posts needing to be of a certain degree of sensitivity which seems to be the critical criterion for not being deleted without any explanation and when occassionally an explanation of sorts is offered it does not relate to either the post or any part of the Guidelines or TOS. One womans snarky and derogatory comment is another womans accurate and clearly stated opinion of a murky and formally unsubstantiated paradigm which matches the outdated morality of the Mary Tyler Moore Show or maybe I would quote The Golden Girls except they were at least funny in their ridiculous attempts to get laid. The question is are the mods members of the LWL.

I have it on good authority that Storm has a cold which accounts for his strange dialectical mix of Noo Joyzy, Gangsta and pidgin or should that lt one be bitchin.

I was visiting my Dad where he worked in a bank as a teller and a robber in a clown's mask shot him in the face and killed him.
