The phrase 'Bye, Felicia' comes from the 1995 American crime comedy film Friday. According to Ice Cube, who starred and co-wrote the script, 'Bye, Felicia' is the phrase to get anyone out of your face.

If you really want to support a region, @Peryda maybe you should learn the practical ways already in place to try and do so?
I’ll go see this region today and see what I think.
Sorry grl i stopped playing Magic "The Gathering" when I was 12.

I seem to have overlooked my invitation to the Secret Enclave. Resend pls? New Year’s Party soon? 😉
seriously, what is it with the people demanding free rent for things lately? I’ve seen a ton of amazing SL things close and my partner and I DID buy and run a sim/shop cooperative (Doll Factory 🏭) that would have otherwise gone away, we liked it a lot, we met great people and had many great experiences with it for a while and then we moved in a different direction.
It’s perfectly reasonable to expect for people to either seek grants, Angel investors, sponsors or backers, form cooperatives/communities or pay for projects/things themselves if they want them to manifest and to continue...usually it can take a combination of things mentioned to mount and run SL projects. And yes, MANY of us volunteer on many levels to make some of them happen, but we don’t expect a free ride just because ‘I made a thing’. That’s basically what Open Sim. is for IMO?
Yes a few extraordinary things have been preserved in SL, but not everything can or should be. Regardless of any ideals about things (and yes most everyone has them, just like opinions and bellybuttons), Linden Lab is a privately held company in business to make money as any other company. No profit for them, no SL for us.
Yup and corps that keep employees offer reduced childcare and free lunch. Like the MGM Grand is on one of the best places to work list. Other places that don't follow labor laws and enforce kids to work 15 hours a day 7 days a week and live in a tenement usually get shut down by gov't due to riots and become an anarchist region for drug dealers and prostitutes to run around "griefing" people so they then form a caravan to escape and seek employment elsewhere.

I don't mean to be a douche, but, seriously, c'est la 2nd vie. It obviously wasn't important enough to enough people who were willing to subsidize it through donations. If you want it to stay around so badly, then finance them. LL is not a charity and are do not exist to guarantee access to your own personal favorite spot.
Oh, and this IS the internet. Threatening to cancel your accounts and other such nonsense will generally only get you replies such as this:

Peryda, I remember the Exploratorium region - it was one of the first places I visited when I was new In SL, having been to the San Francisco Exploratorium many times over the years in real life.
However, I do not think that Linden Lab has an obligation to keep science or other education regions alive in-world, beyond the region cost discount that they provide for non-profits. If in fact they did host the sims for a number of months without requiring payment, than to me it sounds as if Linden Lab was working with the organizations and giving them time to work out future funding sources.
Your open letter might be better sent to the Board of Directors of the organizations behind the Exploratorium regions and the SciLands regions. Perhaps there are reasons why they are deciding not to continue with funding the SL regions? I would imagine that there are more internal expenses involved than just the monthly tier cost to Linden Lab - I'm thinking internal staff costs for planning/running the projects, builds, presentations, etc., on the SL regions. I imagine those expenses might be bigger monthly costs than the region tier. Do we know how much of a priority these regions are for the overall mission of the organizations? Are the regions still meeting the goals that they had when they created the regions? Have you reached out to their Board of Directors to let them know how much you value the regions being in SL, and your wish to have them remain there?
Maybe because sl is overrun by sex ads and strange fetish sims and they just don't see it as a productive way to spend their money. If i was in charge of a university or science foundation and took a quick breeze through the secondlife world i'd probably cut funding on it too. Its up to linden to consider the prospect of their own website. you know, other media (and this is media) has had such issues. They degenerate into like a brothel and then no one uses them anymore. Someone else will make a better one. I think SL has a lot of great potential more than just that, but if they keep cutting real interesting areas due to them not having funding and don't donate some of their profit to allowing interesting and educational operations exist for free, then it will be just that. I mean a non-profit application for a region or partial region. I don't think that would be putting them out much cash. I will certainly leave once there is nothing left to do but talk to furries and child avatars with a 50 year old adult behind them.

You apparantly keep projection what's keeping your mind busy onto others with figures that are easily manipulated to boast being on top of the list.
I guess you are like them too, because you keept spurting out the same subject you accuse others of.You made my ignore list. I knew I forgot something.

So you're going to double down on your quite incorrect assertion while spouting off a link to Dullahan (which has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual regions/simulators) as well as a screenshot showing Singularity, two Dullahan hosts and two instances of SLplugin?
All that to deflect from everything else?
I'll simplify this for you: Second Life regions/simulators are not Web Pages just as MMO world servers are not Web Pages. Being served over the Internet/from a server does not automatically make something a Web Page, despite it being able to be classified as Web Content (yes, there is a difference).
You can attempt to argue over it all you'd like but the simple reality is that it was brought up by you as a deflection tactic. Sorry, not going to work.

Now here's your problem : people remain unconserned no matter your opinion. What you consider invaluable scientifical education is disposable and perhaps outdated ("been there, seen that") knowledge. I've had a discussion like this here regarding an artwork. Let's not rake that one up though.
Essentially what I am trying to say is : If you want the sim preserved quickly, buy it. Regarding Lindenlab : they will preserve the sim if they consider it neccesary. Not sooner. Hardly anybody, especially not the community here or Lindenlab in general. else will either care or be able to save it. Many brilliant sim aside this one, was lost this way.Good luck.
No wonder.

If by "you" plural you mean those with fetishes to force their sexuality upon creatures who cannot choose to do so, then "you" plural should be ashamed. However, I was replying to a fantasy "Us" created in the minds of some people who appear to believe they speak on behalf of all SL users except myself, which simply does not exist as an "Us" except in their mind.

The more room for me came as a response to your OP attack and yes I use the word attack on people who explore their fetishes in SL. Kink shaming. I had no idea your mind was full of ***** and *****, it was certainly way far from my mind as I have never encountered it here personally. You had every opportunity to discuss your wish to preserve a region or website without resorting to all that.
the only kink i shamed was animal and ***** and both animals and children are innocent and cannot choose to have sex with you.

See point number one in that list: This is a public forum and you do not get to decide who responds or how they respond. If you wish to write a letter, do so and mail it off to its intended recipient. If your intent was to write an "open letter" then you should have done so on your own blog/forum.
Any "hostility" you perceived within the initial responses existed solely in your own mind and should have been dismissed. Instead you reacted to this perception and thus responded in a hostile manner, thus making your response the first post containing a hostile tone.
ETA: Seems I missed something a bit ago as well ... These forums are classified as a web site, Second Life regions/simulators are not nor are MMO world servers. Now, do you have anything else you would like to use to attempt to justify your tone and responses or are you done?
A silly question honestly as your responses thus far have shown.
They are servers connected to the World Wide Web, and internet and therefore websites. There are also links on the 'map' on websites to the locations in the server, which then opens their app that connects to a browser that accesses the location on the server. It is a website.

I'm sorry. I just read your unnecessarily nasty response to Cindy, above. She said nothing that merited that putdown.
You are generating far more conflict and nastiness here than you are receiving.
Child-sex is against the CS and TOS of this place. I'm fairly confident that no one posting here is into that, and if they were caught engaging in it, they'd be banned outright. As for animal-sex . . . definitely not my thing, but what does this have to do with your initial point? How is attacking others -- people you are judging without knowing anything about them -- advancing your argument?
Do you not see that your responses to people here is counterproductive to your announced aim?
Well, the "more room for me" then statement warrants it IMHO. No, no more room for her then. Or, if there's more room necessary for her, then I'm moving to another planet, she can have the whole thing to herself without me there. Thank you.

I fully agree. 100%.
But what on earth has that got to do with a project running out of funds? Are you accusing any persons in Second Life with carrying out, permitting, or in any way facilitating this kind of activity? If so, it is VITAL that you raise an Abuse Report immediately. LL will investigate such a report with a very high priority indeed.
The fact that the majority of sites is about that and a minority of sites that are actually interesting to a 6 year old, making it over-run with self-loathing masturbators in a fantasy cartoon escape world. Which is sad because its actually a pretty cool platform that could have a lot more uses than that. By "site" I mean area of the internet and app to connect to a server.

Please note: I am not a counselor nor required to listen or consume, on my day off, someone else's psychological problems and why they have those needs or fetishes. Since I'm not getting paid, no I don't "have to" or "learn to" listen to such nonsense.

Right back to your trollish and immature responses I see. Yep, I really need to learn to listen when people so easily reveal their intentions ...
Actually I don't need to listen. If no one in SL supports the Exploratorium but me then I guess it will be shut down. And, just like every other plethora of porno trading hubs that have become plagued with nothing but people talking about pornography and trading it -- like IRC, that and "ads' -- I will likely abandon it. Just like IRC. Yes, I know you don't care and would be happy for that too -- and I also don't care, so at least we agree on that.

Peryda, I have to say -- as someone who has always been very interested in the arts and education sims that SL has hosted over the years, and who has built exhibits herself in SL, I have a great deal of sympathy with the main thrust of your initial post. I think LL should support these, probably more than they do. Of course, they are making a business decision when they make that determination, but places like the ones you describe do add to the attractiveness of SL for a diverse range of people.
But your tone in response to others who have posted here, and most especially your derisive expression of contempt for anyone who finds other things attractive in SL, is a real turn-off.
Surely it is possible to make your argument cogently and forcefully, without being so dismissive of others, and their particular choices and preferences? You're making anyone who does support educational, science, and arts regions in SL look like unpleasant, elitist snobs. And speaking as someone who does support these things, I'd much rather you didn't.
Can you take a different tone here, perhaps? One that is more constructive, and less belligerent?
I am replying to belligerence. I don't care if they find it appalling that I think child-sex and animal-sex is a putrid and hideous escape. I really don't care at all if they dislike that about me anymore than they care if I think they're hideous and grotesque with a profound psychological problem that is well beyond me to comprehend nor do I choose to try to comprehend it. I think they are more angry that I said that than anything else -- and if they were proud of themselves and felt righteous they wouldn't feel the need to write a nasty reply. Clearly they are freaked out by their own psychology and are projecting it upon my post -- as an attack, rather than just putting me on ignore as someone they didn't need to read that day Its good -- the truth of themselves shines forth!!

I'm glad I don't know you in real life. All I can say. Please clear out the pile of trash and horde before calling 911 because my EMT friends don't want to move your piles of trash before lugging you out to the ambulance.

- This is a public forum - you do not get to choose who reacts to your posts nor why they do so
- My responses thus far are blunt and matter of fact - deal with it or use the Ignore function
-
Your assumptions and reactions make your intent rather clear
- I already stated in my initial post that any reaction you have is your own and is quite irrelevant to the information presented/points being made
- You then came at anyone who responded with both barrels and the attitude of a troll
Own your responses and attitude.
My responses are to a bunch of hostility that is directed at no one, but they must wake up and do this as a hobby. My letter stated "To Whom it May Concern,' and if it didn't concern you, it didn't.

So you come in here and debate, stomp your feet and call us names when supplied answers you disapprove of and call US immature ?
AND a grammar-nazi too ?
/me leaves the thread.Who is "us?" Some monolithic group of people who spent the last 10 years of their lives debating me about the benefits of BOM vs. the latest and greatest Nails HUD applier for some 11 years collective? Thanks but I'm not a group joiner nor perceive a monolithic, monochrome "we" vs me in some non-existent fantasy you created in your mind.

PS -- the region and or sim is a website.
nounnoun: website; plural noun: websites; noun: web-site; plural noun: web-sites-
a location connected to the Internet that maintains one or more pages on the World Wide Web.but then you may know that if you didn't drop out of CIS 001 and were slithering around in some furry sado masochistic VR link.
