    Like to Qie, I' d have to say again, if only money should be talking, you are right. If only ... I' m stepping back for now.

    Oh come on, Qie . HL doesn' t look anything like Suffigium in the slightest. Even I could create something like Suffigium. HL is at level with Insilico. Do you compare Suffigium to that as well ?

    I can and I will. I never stated such thing. Mainland is not good promotion to SL. This sim is ; otherwise LL would not have used it RL as an impression how SL is IN GENERAL to the main audience. Should that audience be interested (again ) in SL in large(r) numbers, I doubt one could say : " Well, what we showed isn't there any longer, but look at all the mainland we kept. That is just, sorry to say to all that want this sim to cough up and just shut up, plain .. let' s say this mildly as I can ... silly.

    True .. and that I understand.

    Let me (re)phrase it in the context I suggested it. Killing off sims like HL into oblivion before mainland is transformed in the form of Bellisaria, is to me not minding pulling the trigger to shoot yourself in the foot while the gun is pointed at your head. That is the point I'm making with that. P.S. The moles did quite a good job on mainland to somehow keep together what has been abandoned in droves. I'm not suggesting mainland should just be tossed away in favour of this sim.

    To me it IS like Svarga .. and Svarga is still here. Svarga was advertised once as the best SL had to offer. This sim falls in that same category .. to me.

    Pixels don't belong in the HD era. Pixels belong to the eighties with low-resolution. Dont equate my , or your, building attempts in here to all Hangars Liquides has to offer.

    Now you, only, are talking money here. LL must caching. NOT making LL caching means ' off with the head' without consideration. In case of this particuluar sim, I beg to differ that that should be the only matter involved.

    By others .. not by me. If all fails, I want it at least this sim preverved for our SL future ( only to see what was / is possible with high levels of quaulity. ). I want the preservation for all of us, while SL is still around.

    Oh yeah , I get that .. and again .. legalese... what goes for you must go for me. If I build anything LL may keep it for itself and can do with it what it wants. I can deanl with that damage. (sound of tumble weed passing by) But honestly .. this work of art is way out of my league. It's another level of design that few would top in cyberspace SL. It was mesh at it's finest. It was as if Blade Runner' city feel came to life. It still impresses me to this day. I'm certain it will do so for residents to come. If THAT is what LL wants they should defenitely preserve it.

    If copyright was embedded in DNA none of us would be. For me it's not about legalese. That's should not destroy the little beauty we have left in this world. I will not convince you of that. You have your imagaination. I have mine. I do want LLto know that destroying these sims first before cleaning up mainlaind is not good for anyone involved in Second Life.

    Heard ya. So far I understand there is a dispute in how to keep the sim running. Lindenlab gave the creator a morbid ( regarding the sim ) choice : Either the non-profit status is withdrawn. ( Because of the commerce held there ). Or the sim retains the status if all commercial activity is removed. The creator has had this commerce on her sim to cover expenditure which were left, eventhough she was allowed discount based on her non-profit status. But the creator cannot cover these expenditures anymore when all commerce ( residentials and stores ) is gone. I have no idea really about figures ( well sorta, but not quite ) but my guess is the coverage of the monthly tier is done by rentals. Stores might bring some extra, but I have no insight on how much is sold which "rains into Djehan' pockets" and is spend irresponsibly. The creator is also angry over one thing : Second Life presented itself on Oprah with imagery of Hangars Liquides for promotional purposes. She was not compensated for that. Kinda strange for a company which holds on so tight on copyright and IP. It's all data. It can always be resurrected. as long as the database is intact and this specific server of LL' undoubtedly large server-park keeps running for it. These 5 regions are a fraction of the world map. These 'costs' are negligable. The loss to me as a resident is very unsettling. It is what makes Second Life beautiful to me. I have yet to speak to her. This is based on what I know of the sim itself by visits and the events over the past hours.

    @H8 So far you are a troll with no substantiated evidence. I do say you lie. Try again.
  18. Ted McGregor
    Snitch some more, please. Wh;y should we believe you ? So far you have 0 credit and are headed towards a negative balance.

    Purpose. Go find it elsewhere instead of spewing spite.

    The OP's post might have been redundant, but the reactions show the subject is still alive and will be until said date. So this works apparantly as a venting mechanism. The course is inevitable. And all of us will have to comply. It's true this is all ambient noise that will fade. Until the next change.

    It's not .. it was setup so comments on the matter wouldn't immediately be deleted as LL promised to do and did in the official thread. I mean it has it's purpose.

    At least I learned today how to create a freebie-dispenser. Dispenser is copyable too. Copy / Mod / Trans.
