    Welcome (or, given the toga, should that be Salve?). I'm so glad to see you having fun in our wonderful world and glad you used the word "immersed". It really is our second life, especially for those of us whose first life is limited by poor health or disability. We treasure it and from what you say I think you will too.

    An alt, eh? That was fast! Er ... you weren't that n00b jerk with the freebie, um, appendage I ejected and banned from my land, were you?

     

    ETA - oops sorry - that was meant to be a reply to Rodvik and not Haruki. Apologies to both. I feel like such a n00b!

    /me checks to see it isn't April 1st and then says:

    Please keep Support in-house. Outsourcing may seem like a good way of saving money, but ask any consumer - and I'm not just talking about SL, but any consumer anywhere - which they prefer, and which gives the best service.

    Oh, and please go back to the old system of ensuring Lindens have Resident experience. I'm sick of ringing support only to find I'm the one telling them what to do and correcting their elementary mistakes.

    But good to know you're listening.

    Hello again, Kim

    I was struck on reading your last sentence just how little Lindens do interact with us nowadays, both in world and on the forums (the shining exception is Torley). Of course SL is so much bigger now that it would be impossible to have that kind of family feeling anymore. but I do miss it.

    I suppose as VP of Marketing your brief is to attract new Residents and institutions, but it seems to me that much of what has been done in that way has been at the expense of established Residents. I know there must be change, just as in RL, but that change should take into account the original vision behind SL. It was that vision that attracted so many wonderful creative and quirky folk, and sadly some of those, who were oldbies when I joined in 2006, are now leaving. I don't believe they just outgrew SL: I think SL was too busy chasing nice shiny new things to consider them.

    SL offers opportunities for training and education that existed only in the imagination only 10 years ago. Check out the Ann Myers Medical Center, for example, an educational platform for medical students (SLurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hospital/133/135/25). St George's, University of London holds training courses for paramedics on its island (SLurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/St%20Georges%20University/66/181/25/). There is so much this strange beautiful world can offer (but then you must know that already ).

    Oh, BTW, you do know about the Linden Bear tradition, don't you? I'm looking forward to adding yours to my collection.

    And if you know the person responsible, please get them to fix the smileys on this website.
