    But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

    "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

    "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

    The problem is simple...

    There are not enough people in SL that have money; Real World Money OR Lindens to spend.

    Linden Labs needs to focus on getting NEW users to participate and keeping them here to enjoy all the great stuff we have.  They need to crank up the (Banner) Advertising they themselves do a little of (be a Vampire) and until recently, did none of.

    Take a look at how much Advertising IMVU, Red Light-UtherUniverse and games like WoW, Final Fantasy and a pile of others do.  The New Linden VP of Marketing, Kim Linden (Kim Salzer) ((frankly she rocks)) came to LL us from Blizzard http://lindenlab.com/about/management#salzer

    IMVU claims over 100,000 users logged in, and I will bet you that not many of them are "bots"

    Kim, please deliver us from this mess.  Advertise SL and boost the economy for all of us!  Share with us what you are planning and doing.

    Thanks - Aprille Shepherd

    Again, this week, Linden took my payment for my Classifieds and issues still remain unassigned and not fixed.

    If you are an SL Vendor or Service Provider and you pay for "Paid Classifieds" and you use Adult Key Words – then you are getting ripped off when anyone views them in 1.x Code based viewers, which includes SL 1.x, Phoenix, Snowglobe, Imprudence and others.

    It is easy to be fooled...in it's place, you will see the Top 20 Paid Classiifeds (PG).

            • This means...about 50% (aprox how many people use the 1.x viewer as opposed to 2.x) of your Adult Paid Classifed Advertising IS NOT BEEING SEEN (and others - who have unrelated keywords are in your slot!.*****

    Some have said...this is a new Linden Policy, but it can't be. If it was Policy, then 2.x viewer users would see the same thing too - but they don't - they see it correctly.

    >> With Organic search, it is more or less FREE (pay 30L a week to list the plot)
    >> With the Buttons issue, that is just a pain in the butt
    >> BUT...with Paid Classified, this is REAL MONEY - PRE-PAID going down the toilet, and in some cases BIG MONEY. If this was happening at a RL Newspaper, Radio Station, or TV Station there would be compensation.

    If you are an SL Vendor or Service Provider and you pay for "Paid Classifieds" and you use Adult Key Words – then VOTE ON THIS ISSUE AND MAKE A COMMENT.

    As for the Single Name Avitars, i got some good ones and some that protect my brands and my name.

    Most people were gone over the weekend when all this became available (I think is began on Wednesday or Thursday).  It would have coresponded roughly with the introduction on the web account log in page; you logged in and found a single field for your name...i wondered if it was some sort of hack for a few minutes.

    Anyway, no matter what, you should make an avitar that protects your brand(s) or name and if you have some very specific key words, check them out too. If you DON'T do it, someone else will - likely your competetor.

    It is like owning a single word domain name; dance.com

    Who knows if Linden will let this continue at the top position in search, but at least you will be protected if you make the move first.

    Good luck - Aprille Shepherd

    Thanks for the Update FJ...Keep up the good work!

    My Christmas Wish List...

    1 - Simply leave non-premium accounts at 25.  Give Premium Accounts 40 Groups.

    2 - Add more Group Roles and Participation Tools (who gets what features)

    3 - Add a tick box to allow the group chat to automatically re-open when discussion begins...right now once closed - it stays closed unless you specifically re-open it or re-log - please give us the option!  Especially usefull for those who are administrators of groups.

    4 - Fix the "sobjects" bug in viewer 1.23.5 and stop wasting the resources of those who still choose to use the older viewer.  This is part of the reason why viewer 2 users see better preformance.

    5 - If you figure out Multi-Threading then you will also be able to offer a "Super Sim" or "Enterprise Edition" that can be One Sim on One Box using all four processors of a quad-core and get 98 Milliseconds of Time.  Charge 999.00 USD/Month for this "dedicated box".  Wow...we might even get 100 people on a sim!

    6 - Fix the Mono Bug

    7 - Impose Avitar Script Limits (on the avitar side) - especially for free accounts.

    8 - Create Sim-side tools warning those who enter that they are over the limit set by the Sim Owner and offering advise on how to reduce script usage (how to remove 250 scripts for their ^%#**&^!&* Hair!)

    Happy Holidays!
