    Let me say this as clearly and succinctly as possible:

    Linden Lab has no plans to make any single viewer (2 or any other) mandatory.  We don't have any plans to make any such plans.


    Let me ask this as clearly and succinctly as possible:

    Is  this  just  another comment on  LL part  of what they are not planning to do ??  You  know much like the one made to all of us abt  NEVER  going to have teens on the main  grid???

    It seems  that  for  over 5 years  i have heard a lot of promises and no  such plans  just to have them come true.. seems like  politicians  saying what they  think we want to  hear.

    o0o0ohh and  BTW  i DO think  our opnions count as well as our votes after all when I joined here over  5 years ago there  was  not much.. now there is  so much  content created  by so many talented people... SL  was  built to what it  is today NOT  by LL  but  by these people and all of us that have been  drug thru the "virtual" mud  with empty promises. You all  sound like politians...

  2. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... i come to  SL  to  do what i do . I  have no intention  after over 5 years of going to Facebook or Twitter.  IF  I wanted to go to those  two websites i would have an account already. Sorry  but i  do not think either of those  two  sites are "cool".  Hope  you  will find another  way to let me  know  abt  "cool places".. laffs

    I  still think people  at LL  are not listening to the residents at all... about the  time i thought  "Awww, they are listening to us the residents"....nope, wait...yep, they are......nope, maybe not...oh ok, yep........ phew......they are....wait....nope........oh my....guess not.

    Sorry  but i am...  after all this  time.... having a hard time believing y'all.. you  are  beginning to sound like politicians.

    Thanks  for nothing  again,

    Angel

  3. I am  excited about the additional  groups. I really need it.

    As  for better  teleporting  no i can not see a difference in fact i have  had more  problems in the last 24  hrs then i have  had in  5 years... altho thank heavens  no  boots or  heel in my  bottem...or  landing nakid  or  hairless.  So i hope in the future i see these  changes also.

    As for group  chat.. no thank you ... I use phoenix and  can  shut that off  as well as all  methods that  create additional  spam.

    Now  for linking to  FB  t hat someone mentioned erlier... This is  Second Life and i think I will  keep mine like that.. no i  have  zero  to  hide in or about my  real. Those  that know me  know all about me and those that  don't  well  too bad i do not trust you  so thats  that.  Besides i do not have  FB  account I  think it is  silly i prefer  my  second life.  I had  a  job once and saw a  man  loose his   over  his  FB  account .. also on the Morals clause we all had to  sign  for employment  was a  blip in the agreement refering to on line activities  and games and social networking sites. So people might  find SL to be againt a morals clause. Some of the  things I  have seen posted in  the  forums or blog are  full  of  racism and hate it  would  turn most  prospective employers off if they  investigated and make them wonder  why an  employee would go to a place like that   I keep  my  real  real and SL   here  after  all the  key  word here is  "Second"

    My best to all

    Angel

    PS:  Please make a  viewer thats  set up like the old one and  has  the new  features and isn't such a resource hog 

  4. please do not  send me invites to test something  that i am  not truly invited to test.  After 5-6 years years here of paying a monthly  due I do not want my time wasted at all. I personally find it to be yet one more insult  from  LL.  I pay my money and you all  gladly get it each  month.. lol as  if LL cares...do not use my time yet  again with  another wasted promise of something better.  This along with the many "stories"  is beginning to  make  me wonder why I stay.

  5. I did not say that.  I think  that is your perception of what i wrote or an inner feelign you may be  expressing of guilt that   you  know  there is much to  be done in real to give to those less fortunante and that money could  help even one  kid or adult.

    However, i do think that money  you are spending here might really do alot to  get a real  book in a kids hand that can not afford a book maybe even an adult. Those are the people you  do  not see in SL ..they are also the ones people seem to forget  so easily.  Not everyone in  the world has it as easy as we do much less internet access or a computer and   they  even lack electricity.  That money can do so much  good in real... think abt it take that money and  make a difference in real make a kid smile or give an  adult a chance to  even learn to read.

    As for time in SL we all give that gladly as we love the  venue..  I am not  sure when you  say   resouces  what you are meaning as i know on my  farm what a resource is and it can not be used on line.  So I  can only  hope  your   time and resources are given  becasue  you  love  what you do and it is part of your soul makes you who you are.... not something   you expect to be cheered on for....but most of all  that you  dig  deep in your pocket to stay in Sl and  continue on with   your life here   becasue you love SL and want to  educate and bring your message to the many  here while at the  same  time  taking any  grant money,  donations and  etc and applying them to makeing a  difference to that kid or adult in poverty in real.

    My  best to you  in SL

  6. You  know I  have been  to your land.  and i was completely impressed...  I was there a few months or so ago. In fact  i got my mom in real  brought her to the  computer to view it.  You are  an inspiration  to  people and touched my heart and   never even  knew it.  You are the reason that i feel sorry  abt LL decision and i am  hoping  if people will dig in their pockets deeply and donate that  you leaving can be avoided.  I did  send  you a  ittle seed money please  keep it back  for a  day  you  need it  here so you  do  not leave Sl.  Again  you are a person i  can only hope to ever be like and if i did at all  bother you please except my appology as it was not  directed at the ones  who make a  difference . You   give your  time and money and you work with your heart and soul.. t his is what imean and i always meant  when the heart and soul is involved everything  is good!    I know  there is a heaven and you  will have many  stars in your  crown...you are a inspriration to us all!

    It happens... whether the home base of the antagonist is a personal, commercial or nonprofit sim... these things happen in Second Life as well as real life.

    Yes i agree and I think if you will reread my comments it was not directed at ALL educators nor ALL non profits.

    
    

    ummm... Report them?

    no because  after this happens they will be  gone or paying   like we are all paying.

     

    
    

    Sorry, Angel... I don' t know where you live but the cows around here are already lean and near starving.

    Then I suggest you get it off line and feed them in real.. meaning get this money spent here to kids... or adults that are in need. Btw i raise cattle and grow wheat and soybeans in real and sometimes cotton.. my cattle are fat and healthy.. but again is a real world thing for me I still believe in real.. don't you

    
    

    The problem lies in money, not soured feelings.  We're not "running away."  If there isn't enough money to pay the rent we will have to leave or cut back...  period.

    Show me a passionate educator that will dig into his or her pockets to finance Sl and I will show you a person I will respect for showing that they truly are an “educator” and are wanting to teach for the right reasons...

    
    

    I'm not offended as much as shocked at some of the blanket stereotypes I've see bandied about here and not just in this message.

    Thank you for just being shocked... however there are more people like me... scarry huh We expect the educators and non profit organizations to educate and in these lean times not waste resources.. to give this money to people not spend it like this. After all in real I do donate money to a few and did not realize they are wasting funding and donations in SL.

    I in no way feel this is fair except for the few that messed it up for the many and I do stand by what I have written...I do not want to repeat abt the kid in poverty but read it and tell me where is that kid gaining by all this.. she or he isn't....use this money and make a difference in the real world to a real kid who really needs it...after all for the adult or the kid in poverty you cant help them from SL nor educate them from SL they don't have a computer nor a connection because there is no money for that extra privilege in life that all of us have in SL have and never think twice about.

    sorry i forgot to respond to this so i am adding it:

    Excuse me, Angel, but I *am* a "reg resident."  I rent personal land that I pay full price for.  I shop and buy objects and services.  I tip DJs, greeters and sites (both profit and nonprofit) that I think are a fantastic visit/experience.  Many, many nonprofit folks are just like me in SL and we have an impact on the SL economy.

    well I t hink that is  great and i  hope  I will see you  doing what you truly love in SL  edcucating and  continuing in a non profit organization if thats what you are into.  I know i  hope you  continue on this giving path you are on and  do not flee. Actually i am not sure why you  said that even.. but congrats for tipping and helping and i am sure you will stay becasue you  arenot part of what  LL  has  chosen to cut out.

    My best to you in the  future in SL

  8. Hello Tayren..

    Honestly the same way I do... teaching is done from the heart is something a person is devoted to and feels in their soul they make a difference not the pocket book. In my profession in the real world I pay for all i do.. if I wanted to teach people to raise cattle and run a farm and felt it was something that could be done effectively on line I would pay for it myself because in my heart and soul I do believe in what i do. However I am also smart enough to know this is not the venue for it for it because a person needs to feel the soil see the soil and know what is needed for it same with cattle on line you can not teach a person how to take care of them look and see what is making it sick or that it needs something. However it can show pictures of breeds of cattle and make outlines abt each breed as well as possible crops and crop rotation. Once again I come back to... there is nothing better to learn in t hen real feel, touch smell... something we can not do here in any virtual world.

    I feel each case is different but not all treated equal... I am positive from my journeys many are.. have you ever heard one or a few bad apples spoils the barrel and in this case it is happening. I am again sorry it has happened but that is LL for you .. after 5 years I have learned this lesson the hard way. I love SL but I know it is not perfect by any means. Btw... the abuse has always been there much like the under aged kids on the grid now. I am not the only person to speak of it in this thread either please read others comments.

    As for education please reread what I said those funds should go to.. again.. teach kids in the real world. Go to a neighborhood where it poverty is normal.... do you really think those kids care abt Sl or on line as much as a pencil and notebook paper for them to be able to do their school work on. Take that money and help them they really need it for their education. If a person can afford a computer and internet chances are they can research anything offered on the net much less Sl. However that kid I was talking abt that goes to bed tonight with no paper or pencil and has to face his or her teacher the next day in class and doesn't have their work done like everyone else.. explain to that kid why this is more important ….

    Show me a passionate educator that will dig into his or her pockets to finance Sl and I will show you a person I will respect for showing that they truly are an “educator” and are wanting to teach for the right reasons... remember I finance my SL and I am passionate abt what I do here. However I pay for it because I do love my SL. To me this is the time we see the true “educators” for who and what they are... So I ask which of you educators are truly passionate abt what you are doing.. show Lindens the green and stay here and teach the kids and those of us that want to learn more …

    Keep in mind SL is a business that does not have to give anything for free or reduced price. When I joined we all paid to play.... So please every educator here and non profit prove me wrong.. I have been here 5 years and will be here longer.. show me your passion for what you do in SL...prove me wrong..

    However I will bet a lot of “educators” are as passionate as the pockets of the schools are deep. Please show me the educator and non profit passion after this has happened and life here is equal I am excited to learn!

    BTW I measure by that kid in poverty who is failing in the educational system that the  non profits overlooked or had no funding to  help them with you know the one the educators think are losers and   riff raff and are never prepared for  class… how do you measure the good that kid is receiving here in SL... tell me where is the return for them?

  9. When I read this I felt sorry for most of the non profit /educational sim owners. However, a person came to mind that takes advantage of this and used it against many other people that are residents with different opinions.... in short that person terrorized many. Then I read a bit more closely and explored many of these empty sims .. that are empty at all times of day/night or what was on them was clearly profit for them or not even allowed on those “types'” of sims. I saw how many are owned by people that are not really educators nor truly non profit. So, I think for one of the few times in my 5 years in Second Life that LL is doing the only thing they can do.  I do not blame them for cutting the fat off the cow..it was  time a long time ago to do this.  They are not  obligated  to give away or reduce anything.

    Now those that truly want to educate can stand by their love of education or belief in a non profit organization. Just as all the reg residents do by paying full price for all we buy.. I know I have for  5 years now and  never thought  twice about it. My belief is we learn in a real world and use the computer for research or enjoyment. Actually when it comes to education that money spent here could be better spent in the real world giving teachers much needed raises or even hiring another teacher assistant or something to help kids. Not blown on a virtual world with no “real” return on the money. Same thing with the  non profit put that money into  furthering your cause in real.

    So all you "educators" show us the reg residents that you love what you do.. one wants to educate the kids and has whined over and over on this thread that they are leaving... so I think .. uh huh it was the grant money and you used the kids as a shield. So I think you will all have to suck it up just like we did over allowing teens on the grid.. get over it and enjoy SL. If you truly are "educators" then stay and educate make a difference on line if you  truly  feel the need.. please stop whining. We had to get over so do you.

    I don't mean anything I have written here as mean or rude but for petes sake Linden Lab has to make financial cuts. The kids lost their grid and you lost your free or reduced ride and the rest of us are forced to deal with the underage kids and all the other ideas LL comes up with in the future. No one won and no one lost we are changing and growing in SL. So be what you say you are "educators” and educate these kids they will really need you now more then ever don't run away like a little kid on the playground that didn't get their way.

    If I  offended anyone so be it .. these are my personal opnions.

    Check out my blog, http://fanciful_muse.livejournal.com .  The other grid I hang out on would be more than happy to accomodate you for much less money and far more advantages.


    However many of these virtual worlds if  not the  majority do  not allow people under 18.  Which is  why alot of us are already there and apparently we will see more of the non profit/educational sims there also.  Just  remember they  must be 18  and over.. no  kids allowed.

  11. Hi Kim...

    Welcome to SL the creative and  wonderful world  the residents built and financially support.  The  one LL seems to have forgotten and the residents opinions do not matter.

    After  5 years as a paying resident and now this misguided merger this is  how I feel about LL:

     

                                       LL the only place where physics is an opinion....
    .
    Anyways, I hope  you  do make a difference in a good way  not  like the last  5 years  of mistakes and  poor  judgement.. maybe THIS  time things will go  different.. maybe.......
    BTW congrats on the new  job and enjoy our world it is wonderful at least untill January 01, 2011.  It is a place of dreams and imagination and i do love it and  have  spent alot of time and money in SL.  I am already  greiving the thought of leaving it. However, I can not afford my SL to have  any legal  bearings on my RL or know there is a chance of a kid /anklebiter getting  hurt in any world... one  kid being  hurt by  a pedophile is not worth this  world/game esp  after the mess with  age play in SL  and now there will be real kids not  adults pretending to be  kids. I came to  enjoy a  virtual world/game with other  adults not with kids  esp since I was promised thru  TOS   5 years ago and  each  year there after  that this would never happen ..... I  thought this  subject  was the one thing we could  depend upon with LL ..sighs
    What is  the "X-Factor"... the residents.. We were supplied a platform and we  built a world one that LL  could profit  from.
