Darkness Anubis Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Actually "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate" was something printed on water and electric bills here in the states when they were mailed out on what was effectively a computer punch card years ago. You would return it with your payment in your own envelope and they would run the punch card through thier reader and credit your account.

Boudicca Littlebird Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Seems some from SLU have opened new accounts here, pity they can't change the way they say things, think they got to use to hanging out in the school yard.

I had sorted all my bills out while doing my personal finances, getting everything paid. I walked away for a few minutes. While I was in the other room I heard the sounds that all cat owners dread. Moving quickly toward the sound I see my cat sitting there smiling. Yep, he had up-chucked all over the bills. Loved my cat. He had expressed my sentiments perfectly.

Shelby Silverspar Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 You are aware that lots of people at SLU have had accounts here since before you were a pixel on a computer monitor, right? And that many of them are long-time and much respected content creators, developers, business owners and instructors in SL, right? And that much of what you see in SL today stems directly from their contributions, you are aware of that, right? And for anyone to say someone defended any type of child abuse on SLU is ridiculous, truly ridiculous. You went over there to start a flame war and it worked and they handed you your butt and now you're upset. Understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I have as little stomach as most for what goes on over there, but there is no question that SLU is the last place child abuse would be defended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qie Niangao Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hitherto, I'd not appreciated that forum trolling and adfarming are two symptoms of the same disease. So that's a contribution. Inasmuch as we're role-playing pseudo-science here, here's an interesting datapoint: two threads about Yoz's recent departure, here, and at SLU. Now, with which of these two groups would I rather have a beer? ... especially if I were the Lab's CEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it hadn't actually been my intention to derail at that point; twas just the way this general discussion thread had gone, and the relevance of it was because we were talking about this official forum v SLU, the difference in moderation and suchlike. Edited, after re-reading thread. Mosley's t1ts were very relevant there; the two or three remarks afterwards were just a bit of - yes, ok, juvenile - fun. No one, however, did remark on your "tuppence" from your earlier post - now that would have been very juvenile.

Masami Kuramoto Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Couldbe Yue wrote: Cris rarely bans people and it's only when they're completely out of control and refuse to modify their behaviour. As a forum moderator, Cristiano is as biased as it gets. There are a few SLU members who get away with literally everything, from trolling to stalking to defamation. I was banned after I had rejected a "privileged" member's Blender support request. After Cristiano had locked my account, that member went on to post defamatory accusations against me to "justify" the ban. One of the claims was that I had mocked the victims of the Touhoku earthquake/tsunami in the related SLU forum thread. Purely fictional and 100% contrary to the facts which are in plain view for anyone who bothers to look. I don't know how SLU gained its reputation, but I guess it's mostly due to SLU members like you boasting about it. However, it's entirely unjustified. The forum has a tradition of silencing dissent against the "party line" laid out by the members at the top of the social hierarchy, and even as an informational resource it is overrated. On topics such as SL content creation, people will find more in-depth and up-to-date information here in the official forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 i've never really had a hard time over there at all. i remember when i started going over there was when all the redzone stuff was going on.. they played a huge part in helping to end that redzone quickware fiasco going on that was hurting so many residents.. threads were getting shut down here left and right and you could go there to keep up on all kinds of things going on with that.. plus the JLU crap.. and these recent content theft over major skin creators..it's pretty involved in the community and they get to be a little more free and can expose more there.. i guess i may be in the wrong section or something for what others are seeing.. the sections i've been in haven't been that bad really.. i mean you will get some bad threads and some hot posts and posters at times..but not any different than here .. this forum and that forum are both great resources..and people have bad experiences in both.. there are a lot that don't brag too well of these at times also.. i guess it just depends on what you are looking forin a forum if someone will like it or not.. i just don't have a problem with either of them myself..

Innula Zenovka Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't know what you managed to say, JeanneAnne, that got the regulars in SLU's Politics & Religion subforum disagreeing with you to the point they found themselves defending organised religion in general or the Catholic Church in particular, but it really must have been quite something, whatever it was.

JeanneAnne Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 i appreciate you telling me about the JLU scandal & how i could read all about it @ SLU since the mere mention of it was taboo here .. it took me an entire morning just to read the SUMMARY of those threads! i was amazed by what i read .. reading all that did a great deal to make me dislike LL .. i think that if the JLU scandal was more widely known about it would really make newbies think twice about even being involved w/ SL so long as i stuck w/ the JLU threads in SLU it was informative & ok .. it wasnt until i branched out in2 other topics that the clique took notice & attacked .. i woulduv held my ground if id had anything invested in SLU .. but i didnt .. & neither do i have here .. a forum needs to be sufficiently interesting to be worth caring about .. SLU was interesting up to the point where id read all i cared to about 'security orbs' ripping ppls ips from media streams .. & ppl being harrassed in RL .. after that i just didnt care much about SLU .. when i got banned in here it didnt bother me much either .. in fact it took me 2 months to even find out i was unbanned .. forum participation is just a passtime for me when im bored Jeanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2003 4003 Fireglo Rickenbacker to be precise, highly recommended.:matte-motes-bashful-cute: All in all it's quite ok here and no need for the hyper emo of some of the SL rejects found all over the web.
