Cinnamon Mistwood Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 @Hendrix Portal I read some of the chat a few hours ago, so moles and Lindens are still interacting. I agree that it is nice to see some of it go by. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingir Ghoststar Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 57 minutes ago, Hendrix Portal said: This makes me sad. As I've said before, one of the things I love most about Bellisseria is the interaction - both as a community and with the people who are actually building it. I thought the Soon™ hints were fun, and like many others looked forward to the Soon-O-Meter dialing up a notch. Sure, it's a very small thing relatively speaking, but it gave us that little bit of anticipation and whimsy. Not to mention we swiped it for a standard reply to the multiple daily queries. Mostly, though, I really and truly hope the interaction with the Lindens and Moles doesn't go away. This is what makes the whole thing extra-neat to me, and hearing little bits about how things are created/scripted/etc makes me appreciate the process that much more. And the random goofing around on occasion is great - it puts a human face on the staff (no offense intended to the non-humans.) I second this. I love having the Lindens and the Moles around. I was quoted over on NWN before Bellisseria came out saying that I wished there were more involvement with them. Now that there is, I love it and I don't want them to go away. They are as much a part of the community around Bellisseria as the rest of us. Hell, I suspect several of them probably have alts, or mains, who knows maybe they exist on just the mole account, out and about in Belli. It would be a tragedy to lose that. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I don't think anyone is suggesting they stop interacting. This is snowballing from people wishing that news would be given in a more accessible way so that people who are not in the group, or not logged on, etc etc etc can see it. Patch has now told us they are working on just that. Seems like the snowball can stop rolling now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made me sad how some have misinterpreted my original posting, especially if they think it was directed in a negative way at the Lindens or Moles, it wasn't. Far from it, I've been a resident since 2007, and SL has been my safe place a few times, and the few times I have interacted with any of them has always been positive. I'm also one of those who met their RL partner in SL first. So I have a lot to be grateful for! Right now, we are ALL in the same boat with regard to RL, some more so at risk than others, and I saw some comments that just made me want put that person on the naughty stair! I feel this thread does not warrant anymore comments, especially any negative ones, and would like it to be closed. @Patch Linden would you be a dear and please close this thread? I don't see a way of doing it, and I just don't want to see any more negative comments. I haven't even read some of the more recent ones, I haven't the heart right now.

Nika Talaj Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) For future reference, I've been told that anyone on the governance team can close threads. I believe I've seen thread locks by both @Dakota Linden and Kristin Linden. I've always thought it weird that in these SL forums, OPs cannot close their own threads. An unusual configuration choice for forum software, I'm guessing. Edited March 24, 2020 by Nika Talaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have even received complaints and directed anger about the use of too many Soon™'s, so I've even stopped that at this point. Some one made the point that we might just regress and pull everything back, and yes, this is the path that leads us back down that road to total non-engagement. Since we just can't have nice things, I suppose I will have to digress. Our new communication system is pretty close to being deployed, and when I feel there is an important enough update other than Soon™ or Not this Week™, I will make a real forum post update. 13 hours ago, Sylvia Tamalyn said: I don't think anyone is suggesting they stop interacting.

No argument there, and happy to know it's been addressed. The point was not missed. My recent concern was in reference to Patch's comment bolded above, posted in this same thread.

Clearly the OP is being made to feel like something she said has started this derail into "the Lindens are going to desert us!", so again, I suggest the derail be stopped. It's a pity that apparently the thread will need to be locked in order to accomplish that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us with sense, and a sense of humor; get them as humor and that - deadlines can't be stated when they aren't known and trying to do so will only lead to greater problems down the road if they're missed because the nature of the project is just complex. I believe the number of people who enjoy the humor and coy engagement largely outnumbers those that take it too literally.

It's a pity that apparently the thread will need to be locked in order to accomplish that. Had the OP only asked for more official information to be posted more often it would have ended there, but that's not what the OP did. Rather she gave a rather derogatory description of an in world group and then basically complained that they had info that had not been posted in the official forum channels. People here complain that info is being released in world in random places while people in world complain that no one reads the forums so info should be provided in world rather than the forums. LL is aware of the problem and as Patch has said a message system is being developed. The idea of a message system was spoken about when Patch appeared on Lab Gab so that system was in the works before the OP posted. Since I was the person who said I wouldn't blame the Lindens/Moles if they stopped being as interactive with the kind of reaction presented by the OP I take exception to my comment being labeled as a derail. It's not a derail! It's the natural conclusion from what the OP posted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Ugh, I give up. What a load of drama this has turned into, and none of us need more of that right now. Y'all carry on as you wish; I no longer care. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jagix Linden Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2020 I only close threads when I have a joke to post. And I don't have a joke for this one. Unless... What if THIS is the joke? Whaaaaa- 1 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
