    Folks have been saying that for a decade at least -- and to be sort of fair The Lab did try with Sansar. In my mind that kind of proved (to me anyway although I wasn't doubting) that it isn't the tech that makes the platform but the people and the creativity and let's also say "freedom". 

     

    Sansar had outstanding tech and yes, my stuff (same stuff) looked much better there. And clothes that automatically fit (for the most part anyway)?  That was a joy.  It had so very many things going for it and yet it basically failed.  If we just kept the world exactly as it is now (well honestly I would prefer the  pre-EEP model), we would be fine for another decade.  If you were here ten years ago, you likely know that we were having just as much fun or more back then without all the new bells and whistles. 

     

    For me, anything outside of SL where I can't take my inventory with me, is a no-go for me....I have too much invested $ wise :(

    Missed a word :P

    @Coffee Pancake  Although I am not tech savvy at all, and don't interact or attend community meetings, I do agree with all you say.  This place erupted into something that they never thought of at the beginning.  I am amazed that it has survived as long as it has, and I believe it has done so, only because of people like you & I who are too stubborn to give up on it, lol.  Even as uneducated as I am in this field, I feel this place needs a complete retooling, from the bottom up to keep viable in the future.  Not sure they will take that expense on.

    My previous comment was aimed more at the interaction here, among us forum regulars and the moles, Lindens who grace us with their presence & comments.  I almost feel they are better off not saying anything...it seems to get them in hot water a lot.

    They refuse to be open with us about plans and ideas when they are in the developmental phase because they have a track record of failing to deliver.

    This push back here is just going to make them pull back even more and be less inclined to talk to us.

    When really want we need is more bi lateral communication.

     

    We're the customers. We have the money. We have the needs. Their provision of services shouldn't be a furtive game of hinting and hype, especially when it's directed by people who don't use the platform like we do and have a long track record of dropping the ball.

    We don't need more ways to make more money for LL. 

    (Sorry Wolfsome Overlord, thinking about SL 24/7 counts for nothing .. I think about cheesecake a lot, doubt that improves cheesecake for anyone)

    With all due respect....I've been here since 2007, through a multitude of changes, plans, ideas, etc from LL.  In some cases, I don't blame them.  I've seen them hounded with questions, ridiculous ideas thrown at them, criticisms and so forth.  I get that they don't want to answer certain things repeatedly and suffer from blowback all the time.  They are under no obligation to discuss future plans/ideas.  Linden Lab is a company.  Just like all others, their focus is the bottom line and what makes them money.  Sure, it's a balancing act for profit and still keeping people around, but it's all about the might $ in the end.

    The only thing in this package REALLY worth noting IMO is the possibility of 1048 McMansions in Belli.   Belli has VERY obviously been the best decision The Lab has made in a decade or more.

    Whomever brought the Belli idea to the table, hope he/she got a huge raise....for sure, it's a big moneymaker for LL :)

    Note that with the current algorithm, it is possible to swap a home to another avatar, even if there are homes in the queue - abandoned homes often get inserted near the top of the queue.  Your change would make it so that the only time you could feasibly try is when the queue is empty.

    Maybe that's not a problem, just thought it should be mentioned.  

    That is true, hadn't thought of that

    Also, it SOUNDS easy to filter out homes that you've recently abandoned ... however, if they don't currently keep any record of what you've let go other than simply counting them ... well, they'd have to store not only the locations, but probably also a time/date stamp

    That's too convoluted....Just have the houses go to the bottom of the queue, no matter who releases them.  If we get them back within the 5 rolls, we know that is all that is available at that time....

    RE that Kraftwork decor set...

    Just when I'd pretty much written off Hello Tuesday as not even being worth the time it takes to read the note card!

    Regarding another event, I wish Anthem would not promote anniversary "gifts" that are actually $L50. IMO, $L50 items are a "special offer" not a "gift." Gift implies that the vendor is supplying you a present, not that you have purchased an item.

    I agree with your Anthem comment, BUT...I love that they charge a nominal fee for those.  It stops the event from being slammed with people who have no interest in anything other than the gifts.

    Wow!!  Blast from the past!  I was one of the original members when Chris started it, under my original avi, AsheWriter.  Those were the fun days :)  Hadn't been back in years.  Will try to stop by again when something is going on.

    When did you last see a Bellisserian home available? Starting afresh.

    So, I've been holding out for a waterfront in Newbrooke, but landed this cutie this morning in Notta Brook.  Even though it only has a small pond, I can see a lot of it if using the Conistan model, but I absolutely love no close neighbors on either side of me, the pond in the back and that neighbors house is sidways to me, and the house in the front is pretty offset.  I love it and going to keep it :)

    New Theme Hint? What are your guesses? Sakura!

    I believe the pose is this, comes with the gray pillows, but looks like Squeaky made a couple of adjustments:

    The bed does look like a modern Japanese, low platform bed.  I have a feeling I've seen that nicely done shabby mattress before, but can't place it.

     

    So the pillow print probably has nothing to do with it, in regards to clues.

    I have an Italian friend that owns a restaurant and always says that we don't know real pizza. Anyway, they got the pizza people are used to see, not what Italians eat. 

    I always thought Asian would be next, but those drinks don't fit

    Or the pattern on the pillows, which are so obviously placed.  IDK, I'm stumped.
