    Indeed, and thanks for being the one!
  2. Lawrence Celestalis
    Yes Selene! Thank you for posting it!

    One year is the minimum amount of time in order to find new funding to pay the servers for the coming years and thus save the city.

    Yes note, that's correct, she chose not to downgrade the artwork. If the donors cover the expenses for a year, she will keep maintaining the city and update/upgarde the buildings so that the experience for residents and visitors is always optimal.

    I wasn't talking about me, rather about the artwork which has gotten a lot of acknowledgents in real life. I still am surprised with all the outrage this has caused in this forum. If an artist, either in Sl or Rl have acknowledgents, this personally makes me very, very happy.

    I have replied to this one some posts ago. I understand it's a lot of pages and therefore not easy to spot. This is very true, Djehan has chosen (for the reasons you will find in the previous post) in the following order: to have it supported by donations, where she would continue in upgrading the artwork and maintain it, to have it preserved by LL, or to move on and proceed to other platforms and AR. I believe it is exactly the constraints you are talking about to push her to make these choices and she is very peaceful about all of them. I want to acknowledge you for bringing up very valid suggestions to the discussion, thank you.

    Thank you for your wise suggestions, they do seem wise to me as well!

    If this is true, same can be said on how participants choose to post and how they perceive my posts: they may feel they're "uncivil"... but that is all. I will anyway put more attention and care in my next posts. Thanks for the wishes, which are much appreciated.

    I hear you, and similarly I have the right to respond to uncivil claimings or assumptions based on misinformation and aimed at demonstrating that HL is tricking LL rules and are bad guys, when constant attention and hard work is put into always following the rules. People can be suspicious and still be civil about it. I have replied to questions and even brought up legal documents when some forum user brought up those of an expired company which sole scope was to pay taxes on record sales (when another user was suggesting HL used the status of no profit to trick the law and not pay taxes). If we talk about art, my rl experience I believe does count, as any other experience counts if we're discussing another subject. Once again, experience is nothing to be outraged by. HL estimators I believe were surprised by the constant hate posts aimed at an artwork they love. That said, thank you for your post. As I said before I agree on what you finally say: HL will either be preserved by LL, saved by its donors or disappear and its creator move on to other platforms.

    You keep making calumnious assumptions about real life people, with the scope of belittling them and putting them under a bad light in the face of the forum readers. Not a street I would personally walk, but have it your way.

    I love Kowloon! As HL, it represent a intellectually honest artist at his best, a great artwork with no compormise, no copybots or prefabs and no ripped texture whatsoever. It has been a sim everyone at HL regarded as a brilliant work and it's an outstanding example of what I would like to see more in Sl.
  12. Lawrence Celestalis
    You probably missed he is only a composer. Whatever claim which is not based on proof, is calumnious and abusive. This is my very last reply to you. Have a good day and thanks for engaging in this thread. Please, if you like, also explain what makes you so mad about HL. I am curious.
  13. Lawrence Celestalis
    Yes, it does very much.
  14. Lawrence Celestalis
    Laurent nowadays only works as a composer and is no manager. Please be welcome to inform yourself here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_Mialon I will refrain from correcting further misinformed claims of yours.

    Beyond "having links with students" I was project leader of an European funded project and head of creativity and innovation at an international university for ten years, the aforementioned university funded by twelve international universities. I still officially collaborate with universities, which procures me more "links with students". Having experience in a determined field is not what I would call arrogance. I wouldn't be cured by a mailman rather than a doctor, as I wouldn't ask a doctor to bring me mail. Experience is a good thing, and nothing to be outraged by. The person you mispelled the name of, used to have and also has at the moment, a rl job in order to pay his bills, since HL is no profit. Please do not be outraged by the fact I will stop responding to posts which have no whatsoever relationship to the focus of this thread.
  16. Lawrence Celestalis
    Thank you Kira. I wouldn't lose my time in discussing things at this level. The ones who understand are already supporting, the ones who don't are free to do so, let alone the aforementioned abusive/calumnious claims.
  17. Lawrence Celestalis
    I professionally work in art since thirty one years. I have written an European funded project which involved five European cities, and three of the major European art universities, and I have directed creativity and innovations projects at a international university for ten years. I still collaborate with universities and students on creativity projects. Based on this experience, I am happy to share that International institutions, renowned art critics and curators don't call drama queens artists with integrity. HL has been created as an artwork which took 12 years to develop, and it has been done with rl international art standards in mind. Of course people may also call renowned paintings a bunch of paint, and statues in museums a bunch or marble, but this doesn't (luckily) diminish the value of art.
  18. Lawrence Celestalis
    Thank you for your support Kira. Of course there has been defamation and calumious/abusive claims. Others have been disagreeing and this is completely legit. HL is hard at work in order to always do everything legally. It is Dk and HL constitutional right to do what they do and they operate within the law at all times.
  19. Lawrence Celestalis
    The costs are those presented by LL. HL is very careful to always operate legally. Reducing the number of sims would partially destroy the artwork which has been intended as a whole. Keeping a mutilated artwork would make no sense at all. The best fans of HL are already helping, and they got informed also thanks to this thread. HL doesn't expect anyone to support it except the ones who choose to.
  20. Lawrence Celestalis
    This is funny and I had a good laugh, thank you!
  21. Lawrence Celestalis
    Five sims. The overall yearly cost is 6.000 dollars, half of it is due August, 1, 2019. HL gets no subventions whatsoever, except one in 2007 to pay the first year of servers costs. If it did, it would have funds to cover the servers' costs. HL makes no profits nor it is interested in making them and of course I am supporting them free of charge.
  22. Lawrence Celestalis
    Yes, I am the official spokesman.
  23. Lawrence Celestalis
    Thank you for your question: 1) all no profit foundations have donors, that qualifies as no commercial activity. 2) that is when HL was a record company at the time and wanted to pay taxes about record sales. That company has been liquidated years ago. This is the current association and all papers are in LL possession already: https://www.journal-officiel.gouv.fr/association/index.php?ACTION=Rechercher&HI_PAGE=1&HI_COMPTEUR=0&original_method=get&WHAT=hangars+liquides&JTH_ID=&JAN_BD_CP=&JRE_ID=&JAN_LIEU_DECL=&JTY_ID=&JTY_WALDEC=&JTY_SIREN=&JPA_D_D=&JPA_D_F=&rechercher.x=0&rechercher.y=0

    Nor shall we about your opinions
  25. Lawrence Celestalis
    I know, right? "Just because William Gibson, Venice Art Biennale, New World Notes, The Guardian and Oprah Winfrey support you, should we think you are worth?" LOL! Thank you for your support and appreciation!
