I thought the Scots led the world in heart attack food with their celebrated deep fried Mars bars and deep fried pizzas. It seems though that America, the land of the unnecessary calorie, has really taken the biscuit as it were with this one.

Or maybe the only people ordering sims are getting deals like this, LL do deals with large estate owners, I don't know what the terms are but deals do exist. Shhh, the first rule about the F.I.C is that you don't mention the F.I.C..........oops.

That guy has a wonderful mother. The feeling I got is that this {SL} is a medium/environment suited for them but that we got here first. :smileysad:

This is true as true gets and I was guilty myself when i first started building.

Like American Idol and X factor did you not know that this is **bleep** we have managed to successfully shovel over to your side of the pond? We knew it too well and decided to export. Still clearing up the mess here though :smileysad:

Am I getting old? YES Who isn't? Please tell.

Anyway I couldn't decide between the two so I'm gonna duck out of choosing and if neither of them mind too much I'm going to split the prize between them both. So grats to Void and Storm, L$500 coming to you each when I log on soon. P.S. Wildcat, seriously, you need to start writing Hollywood treatments or find a shrink. I believe the two are not mutually exclusive. :smileywink: Thank you Sy, but please do not send me 500L. I was happy to make you laugh and that is payment enough for me. Welcome back to this forum, "your" humor was missed. Not as much as me, the missus, the 9 kids, 4 dogs, 3 cats and grandma are gonna miss that L$500. And too late, already sent inworld and don't return, you earned it. and thx for comment. :smileyhappy:

It's basically a shallow hole, but, and here's the novel part, if you throw money into it (any currency will do, the hole will just get deeper and deeper requiring more money to be thrown in to fill it. We are currently looking at a Xmas launch date with a working title of "The Money Pit". "Ahh", but you say, "How do I get my money back out?". Well our backroom boffins have come up with a fantastic accessory for the "Money Pit" called "The Shovel". Once your "Money Pit" is filled to your satisfaction then merely jump in with your shovel and start digging it out at a speed of your choosing till you reach the bottom of the hole.

If they (supposed friends) open the viewer all they have to do is look at the top bar area of any SL viewer screen to see your username it's where the the viewer name and version number is. ETA: I just noticed on V2 and the new LL beta viewer that the username is not shown in that position so it may not be shown on other viewers but I'm pretty sure it shows there on Firestorm & Phoenix.

As Carole pointed out earlier, I'm not sure where the TOS stands when you link to a blog article from a SL thread that directly slurs another resident...? If I linked to a very adult site from this post I'm pretty sure it would be RIC'd damn quick by someone

I can't knock the deal, but for me I'd rather pay the $1000 purchase price and have the ongoing tier reduced by a significant margin, that's what would make it a long term viability for me. In an ideal world of course I'd rather pay no setup fee or a nominal one if any and then have a much reduced tier. :smileywink: I also wonder what the people are feeling who put an order in yesterday or earlier this week for a sim? I remember when I bought my last island sim being informed two days later that as a European it was going to cost me 17.5% more in VAT for the purchase price and tier, I was not best pleased. To be fair LL offered me the chance to pull out without any fee, I hope they are going to be just as generous to people who have already got recent orders placed.

Suella Ember wrote Aye - it doesn't half confuse you deciding which one to stare at though! (P.S. Check you messages on your profile thingie whatchmacallit!) (P.P.S. Don't you hate it when people have private conversations on open forums! :smileyvery-happy: ) Aye, but at least I can check out your shoes at the same time! P.S. Have checked messages on the profile thingie watchmacallit P.P.S Yes we do!

Have IM'd her, no need to pay me.

Pamela Galli has written in another thread regarding it. See below for her quote "I think they have lifted the blacklist on those items now: Alexa says file a rollback request or contact support for broken inventory." ETA: Ceka was obviously on her iron horse and beat me here with the info.

Haven't been online to garner any more info Dilbert. Last I heard was that it was some bot they use for group admin or such that decided to go postal on them. So I don't know whether it was code in the bot that when awry or LL changed something in the code they use for groups that sent the bot crazy. All I heard when I originally posted was that it was an SL glitch. Broadly speaking I suppose that could be either the bot or SL itself depending on their interpretation.

Even if that were the case I give them enough credit and intelligence that they would notify the group in advance to say that they were going to do it, the reason for doing it and then send out notices to that effect in increasing regularity leading up to the event. Why would anyone want to dump without notice 95+% of their group and nearly 100% of their active members?
