I can understand him being polite on the disaster in the waiting that is Twitter. I can understand him not wanting to get his entry lost amongst the five index pages of BollySpam. I can understand him not wanting to look like he's checking on Torley's minimal attempts to justify his salary in the Feeds. What I can't understand is him making an account on the oh-so- passé SLU forum and posting there. Maybe Rod, as a leaving gift, gave him some advice on how to alienate the mainstream users. © The Judge Is he posting on SLU already? Haha.

Maelstrom Janus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 And considering that you can't even use the name of Britains favourite timelord on the forum I dont think anyones going to last long using the name of the company's CEO...

Treasure Ballinger Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They actually invited him to come post on SLU. Did we do that? If I were him, reading these threads.......I wouldn't want to come here either. We do not seem very welcoming here, outside of the OP on this thread, and a few others. To be honest, we sound pissed off before he even gets his key to his office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Janus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think my copmlaimt ...err complaint was entirely reasonable as no doubt do those others who do not access twitter but wish to see what big brother has to say.... However I may be judging harsly based on rod humbles record number of posts on this forum.... Im sure that Ebbe will rush over here to say hello as soon as he gets chance and shield 'useful' questions about tiers, the current state of sl technically and everything else we want to put to him... In fact I'll take your word as a guarantee that as soon as he gets the proper access he'll come post haste and say hi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Clarence Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 If I were he I would not post here or to SLU. I can assure you of one thing if he does decide to post and that is I will troll him to no end: golf, vampires, pixel sex, Microsoft, Yahoo, Harvard, Lee (no not LeeHere,) inter alia. There is no end to the words I will hurl his way. Welcome Ebbs. PS And the fun part is, from reading this thread, I know I won't be alone.

Canoro Philipp Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i really hope he improve the communication of Linden Lab with its users, having no announcement of Rod leaving was a basic fail of communication, it was a very important event for Linden Lab and its users. i have personal wishes like many of us, like bringing back last names, improve the marketplace, perfectionate search, i hope he can comply with the most reasonable wishes the users have, and more importantly, to get second life at pair with modern virtual worlds, and even more important, to surpass them with innovative ideas that none has even thought yet. i wish all the best for Ebbe Altberg, and the best to Second Life under his managment.

Hi Canoro, I have been following the thread, and appreciate everyone having something to say. Yes, if the name servers could be reconfigured to pull in a last name server, rather than the default "Resident", it might return something lost--a sense of community, and quirky uniqueness. When I began in SL, the last names were not only revealing and memorable, but they created many opportunities for chat. To this day, I remember the first Avindar I ever met! My advice to Ebbe Altberg on Twitter was "keep; the lights on and the doors open" because it's all good (as long as the worlds are humming away on the server farms. Ten years here has shown that avatars are world creators and path finders. As builders, we are problem solvers and critical thinkers, breaking down barriers of difficulty by learning, doing, collaborating. I'm not much of a builder, and have not kept pace since mesh and new techniques, but I enjoy spending time and a little bit of coin here now and then, and blending the old with the new when I do build a space, or put together a new look. As for the lack of communication when RH left, I can hardly blame the Lab. It almost seemed as if he left without communicating directly himself. Kind of like breaking up via Twitter, except it was Facebook, and we heard about it second hand (so Second Life.) However, we have a new CEO, and he will need awhile to get the feel of this machine so he can drive it. Second Life is the big wheel driving the cuter, more compelling little wheels, and I would think he has a team of game developers eager to make him into a new RH, but he has a wider background, not simply game development but a sense of media and market reach--so he may re-cast Second Life into a more mainstream tool, if he gives it much focus at all. After all, LL has done a good job of managing our vast, shared resources along with issues of privacy and securiity, virtual economy, and a beautiful product to behold although it uses alot of computer resources. Ideally, this platform would run on a laptop without it heating up, and why not have at least an app that shows our avatars on a windows phone, like with X-box. Thanks again for your thoughts! I couldn't help sharing a few more of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't tweet so the procedures of Twitter are over my head. I only saw him retweet a couple of times, so if Perrie was "retweeted" he ought to be flattered! As to why a new CEO would choose to have an introductory, "get to know me" session on Twitter, rather than here in a closed house, on a members only forum? Well, it seems to me that would be to introduce himself in a "public" way, and since the entire history of Second Life has been about alts and the masquerade, why would he parade in here first? I understand we might have expected a dashboard announcement that we have a new CEO, but at least Strawberry Singh announced it on the my.secondlife.com feed. The forum is somewhere between roman baths and a shark tank. Twitter is global and public. Thanks for your remarks, Treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum is somewhere between roman baths and a shark tank. Twitter is global and public. Thanks for your remarks, Treasure. Why the meet and greet occurred on Twitter is pretty simple to me. He already had an account and people sought him out there. As to why people sought him out there is also pretty simple. People have different cares and concerns regarding Second Life. How legitimate those cares and concerns are could be debated to no end. I do agree with Storm when he said, "He came to LL to do a job, not waste his time posting to the forum just to appease your sorry asses." That is certainly not my expectation. For me I tweeted because I care about Second Life. It's a part of my life that I enjoy very much. If it disapeared I'd miss it. My life would not end if it did, but I would hate to see it go. Simple enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoe Whitfield Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So this I am going to just go ahead and say 'wont work'. asset storage in it's self is high, something like 370petabytes. then bandwidth, employee payroll <other business expenses> so to justify 20 bucks a month. god they'd have to be highly insane, it would be like cutting there right leg off. I'm in this hosting business and trust me. "we want a cheaper prices" is what certain client of mine rave and **bleep** about. They do not understand. we are breaking even on our accounts currently, our upstream provider has just actaully raised our per gb cost. which we have to pass to the consumer. What the lab is doing is making sure all costs are covered and then making some what of a profit, they have too or sl drys up and we all move to opensim. so tl;dr. it costs money to provide SL to us, so please think before you go 'LOWER OUR TIERS' Some reason it replied to emilia, this was not directed at you. but another poster.
