All y'all negatory ppls - I bet if LL was on the NYSE or NASDAQ, you'd be shorting it. The Power of Capitalism!

Would could should. Yep! All true. Doesn't mean it will happen.

Tilia made money. The new company, Thune, will make that money instead. It does not necessitate raising fees, etc. Sorry if that sounds simplistic!

..unless SL is the initial customer. 😉

I take it however I can get it! I'll take it ON the kitchen table, if that's what's needed.

Great analysis!

20+ years has been a good run. So why are so many people acting like "things that have a beginning" don't necessarily also "have an end"? It's not the "end of the world", no matter what happens.

It definitely makes sense to create a separate company with the intent of selling it for profit. Profit is good! Profit keeps Second Life going!

Peeve: I've done that kind of thing before, if I want to see what they posted after I blocked them. How can I explain it: "morbid curiosity" could be an applicable term! But generally, telling someone you've blocked them is gauche - they can figure it out. (It's me! I am teh gauche!).

Since Thune will have more payment options, I hope PayPal is one of them.

On the one hand, you say the above. On the other hand, you have disagreed that selling Tilia is a good move. There is no winning, no matter what LL does.

It's nice that you don't have a sense of entitlement!

Sharp!

Yup. Besides you and me, I barely know anyone else who is testing it. And it is still so rough, I can barely stand to look at my own avatar since I can't style him the way I want. I hope they dump profits from selling Tilia into more Mobile development. Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!

Well then, you must be right! SL should take the required steps to "Embrace the Adult Side". All those other companies must be wrong! LL should look to the example of how "Twitter" became "X", and with less moderation was a swimming success. Amirite? OTOH - Are ANY of these other companies successful and profitable like Second Life is? Just curious.

See? An actual answer. THANK YOU. Now, I just hope that kind of decision isn't made to get Mobile through the required hoops.

Tumblr went from a $1.1 billion purchase to $3 million junk. Yes - but did you answer my question on the "motivation" for making such a change? No. Also - Second Life is profitable, while Tumblr: "Tumblr has never had a profitable business model, despite having a large user base. In 2023, Tumblr's annual revenue was $84 million, but CEO Matt Mullenweg has said that the platform loses $30 million each year."

Another example, I believe "Nazi" is not allowed, but "fascist" is. *Edit* Ok, I was wrong about this. There is also gender favoritism: I believe that "*****" is not allowed, but "bastard" is.

They would make less money, if we were "dead". What possible motivation would they have for that?

When I was a cub, we would listen to iThunes on our iPhods.

Fo' Shizzle!

Speaking of "Jazz", and on topic, I presume most people who have heard of him, don't know the origin of "Jelly Roll" Morton's name. We have gone soft as a culture! (So to say.)

I am starting this thread to raise the visibility of some differences between the Official and Mobile viewers. For the most part, the Mobile viewer looks "ok"! I did some Sculpty testing yesterday and today, and noticed that they seem to "mostly" work, except one case where the textures / colors were wrong (a PrimPossible) item. I was surprised Sculpties work as well as they do! I filed a "Feedback" report. The Snowman at Luna: Official viewer Same snowman, Mobile viewer:
