Hedge funds split up the company, sell what they can sell and dump the costs as much as possible on the part(s) they let sink in the swamp. That's how they maximize profits.
Yes, they are bad. That's what "except for hedge funds" meant. You are agreeing with me. Or didn't understand my point. It's all good.

I could debate this all day, but will step back and watch everyone turn red and explode, instead. Fun!

Ah, so you're mad about the possibility of losing Adult Content? Got it!

Wrong.
The OWNERS of LL and Tilla wouldn't sell Tilla unless it benefited THEM, Put's cash in THEIR pockets. Don't assume this means LL will have a HUGE bag of money to spend on shiny, as in reality, they will spend it on Shareholder Dividends.
They are not doing this to benefit US.
"WE" are LL's "cash cow". If you think they are dumb enough to jeopardize "US" (your caps), go ahead and think that. Except companies that suffer leveraged buyouts by hedge funds etc., most don't kill the "goose that lays the golden egg".

Really? What "positive outcome" ?
Listed earlier in several posts..

"Hey, we are proud to announce yet another new un-feature almost nobody wanted, that should have taken 6 months, which we extended to 6 years, then gave up on half way through, it's a broken hot mess, but we're saying its Working As Intended!"
"Business as usual but we've raised transaction charges from a buck fifty, to 15 % of anything under $100"
"This year we're embracing SL's Adult side by pretending we're opening a smutty club, then imposing a draconian puritanical crackdown to cover our own asses"
And you wonder why some of us "lack faith".
These are "promising something". Selling Tilia is "abandoning a bad thing". Just like, selling Sansar. LL will not be encumbered by the dead, stinking albatross carcass.
Did anyone consider that perhaps having a stake in / owning a payment company may have hindered future growth in Mobile? There's many things "we" don't know.

Good time to implement the $1/100L plan, no? 😁
Heck, if it was a good idea before, that didn't change. According to some, we won't be able to complain much longer either way!

It could benefit the pockets of the investors too or even solemnly.
(Me looking at the half empty glass now)Is "not being able to blame LL for Tilia" a glass "half-empty", or "half-full"?

Well, thank goodness for this thread, the day was getting slow.

There are people who just are a tat more critical about Linden Lab than the full time Linden Lab cheerleaders on this forum. What's wrong with that?
It helps with discussions if there are more flavors than only vanilla.Nothing at all is wrong with it: my opinion is just as valid as theirs.
For some reason, those who hate / fear change despise being disagreed with, and apparently take it personally. That's about the only way I can explain the personal attacks against me when I disagree.

but they don't team up, it's aquired.. so ordinairy sold ( as predicted during the previous change in command)
Yes! Selling Tilia will give LL more $$ to spend on the projects everyone complains out. It's a win-win. (I honestly believe that Tilia will fail under new management, so LL makes $$$ from the sale, and we all benefit indirectly.)
I think what a lot of people miss is, LL wouldn't sell Tilia if it didn't benefit them to do so, and by extension benefit us.

I'm glad you're having fun.
We all deal with things in different ways, and I guess being the top poster already here mean's you're quietly freaking out too. Don't worry, there will always be other forums whatever happens here.
You misunderstand: I tease because in this case, I foresee a positive outcome.
On the other hand, the fact "any change at all" results in "oh noes" from certain people, definitely makes the entire "Sky is falling" response ridiculous.
Despite protests to the contrary, it's as if those who complain truly wish LL (and thereby SL) to fail, as shown by their sheer and utter lack of faith.
I hope you can process that explanation without somehow thinking there is reason to "turn it back on me" as usual.

Oh, I don't know if there's anything OMINOUS in it.
The word "thorn" has mostly negative connotations.

You think thee is one?
It was sarcasm. Because what Coffee posted - the building possibly being sold - would from most angles appear to have absolutely nothing to do with Tilia being sold.

How are we ever going to survive? Won't anybody please think of the children?!
People seem to be in such a hurry to don their tinfoil hats these days. Scoffs.
We could talk about children, instead. That topic is popular!

This feels like a massive betrayal.
Did the sale include battery street .. are we actually homeless now?

Welp. Interesting times ahead then. If this means that SL will need to switch to traditional payment processors, I'm going to grab the popcorn. Wouldn't be the first adult online platform forced into pg13 seppuku.
I kind of predict something like "SL will need to switch to traditional payment processors" will happen, because my prediction is that Tilia will fail under a new company.

Breaking News:
The purchase of LL by a group headed by well known "buy, repaint, slice up, and resell in bits" investor, has resulted in LL being sliced up, repainted and sold off in bits
As predicted.

Why do we get stuck with the spleen?!
I mean yay, we get the core bidneth! -
..I thought "spin-offs" / sold stuffs is where LL projects go to die. If I'm right, I wonder what will replace Tillia?

What do you mean by "inner music"?
The music of "the spheres", music of "the heart", the music you hear when there is none playing, which cannot be written down, cannot be performed, only exists within the..

"Grooming" is the slightly coded language that has mostly been used, and is being used, to associate gays and trans people with child abuse.
I won't disagree (we all have our own perspectives), but instead will say that normally I don't hear "grooming" associated with child abuse, just with "indoctrination".
