  1. I don't think we can assume that the SL tech and experience as we know it can last forever and that something better will not come around some day. It's either us or someone else. By letting you know that we are working on something I've already seen a lot of positives come out, and yes, some doomsday stuff, but there are always a group of people who dislike change (even for the better). So, in the future, you will move to something better, and we plan to provide that.

  2.  

    In an attempt to improve we made a few mistakes and caused some misunderstandings as well. We rolled back the changes and will work on getting it right. The team is looking at feedback and will communicate a plan for how to get there. 

  3. Nobody knows what may happen in the future. But we have no intent to steal your stuff. I can imagine scary scenarios that are more likely to happen, that none us have control over,  that would concern me more. I don't see how SL as we know it could be successful if we started to steal your stuff. I certainly don't see a business model based on stealing stuff that could last very long...so I don't really see the logic in this conversation. It sounds scary to some of you but how it could really become a real problem I don't really know. 

  4. I'm still getting up to speed on that topic. I've had several discussions about it. It's not a simple topic. 

    Trust me. It's not becuase we have an intent to arbitrarily profit from your stuff without your permission. That would be very bad for us as we're all about user to user. We could seriously harm ourselves if we started doing that. 

    But, the edge cases and the potential cost to us in certain scenarios are quite substantial. 

    Making the spirit and the language match up seems to be very difficult. I'll learn more over time but for now I can't promise anything other than what I said above. 

  5. Making it work for everybody would be a dream and should possibly be a goal. But is it possible? Is too broad a bad business as it could become too little for everybody...hard to tell...sometimes you just can't get what you want. Especially hard as there will always be anti-social elements making it suck for others for no reason...

  6. I'm supportive and I have experience. If Adult is the RL perception of SL then we're not going to be as big as we want to be. I've been in businesses where Adult (and Psychics) were key customers. Keen.com Niteflirt.com Ingenio.com were all brands that I helped build. It started as Keen.com but when Psychics "took over" there was no way to combine that with what you see on Ingenio etc. today. So we chose to become multiple brands...some separation is important if you want to appeal to a broad market. Thanks!
