Zero balances are not carried forward. That is what makes the difference. If you think about it, according to the logic you are using, we all have accounts with every existing business entity and those accounts have zero balances. Because we don't do business with them. They don't carry that information on their books because it is completely unnecessary. ETA: I suspect the zero balances we all see are nothing more than placeholders for LL's software and has nothing to do with accounting.

No, I won't. I've never converted or withdrawn. Never given LL my SSN because I've never converted or withdrawn. What you seemed to have missed is the fact that LL is NOW saying those who do not, will not have a Tilia account. I buy my Ls through my viewer, not from the website. And I don't want to hear about how much cheaper it is to buy via the website. I've been hearing that for as long as the damn thing has existed. I have good reason for doing things my way and no one (except me of course) needs to know my reasons.

Some scrupulous scrutators scrutinize scrutable scrutineers unscrupulously.

Which is better than scruple-less.

Yes but it would be better if they were honest and had some scruples while avoiding federal prosecution.

As long as I have been in SL, even I am still learning about things I didn't know existed. And yes, if LL hadn't backed off of forcing everyone to have a financial account they don't need or want and have to be legally responsible for, I would have left SL again. The next time I do leave, because LL can't seem to get their act together even after 15 years, will be permanent. Not that anyone cares if I come or go. That isn't the point. The point is LL is driving their own customers away by their cackhanded way of doing things.

The decision to preserve/maintain HL lies between LL and the region owner/nonprofit organization. Someone needs to look into the laws governing nonprofits in the US both federal and state (CA) to be absolutely certain rentals can be allowed as long as the organization is not making a profit from those rentals. If they are not and the amounts are going to pay for the region then it could be that LL is overstepping the bounds of the law. It could also turn out the organization is. https://grantspace.org/resources/knowledge-base/tax-exempt-revocation/

The only reason I ever have a cell phone is because the other half insists on it. I so rarely use the things that we're basically just throwing money away on it. Reason being, I'm the sort that much prefers to see your eyes and your body language when conversing and hear your tone of voice. Otherwise, pick up the phone and call me, don't text me. If you have the phone in your hand why are you texting and not calling? What are you hiding? If you don't have the time to talk, you don't have the time to text. ETA: There's also that small detail where I need to be able to see your lips while you are speaking so I don't have to ask you to repeat things you say 5 or 10 times since I have high frequency hearing loss probably due to the tinnitus I've had since I can remember. Turns out, while it may have sounded like crickets, what I was hearing, as a child, at night, trying to go to sleep was not. It was my own ears. Sometimes I hear crickets now but mostly a high pitched constant squeal that only varies in volume. Sometimes it is loud enough to drown nearly every sound around me out. Apparently my ears are overly sensitive to electrical current.

Except you are winning the war when you do block someone who has been giving you crap. You win by not having to put up with the bs, they lose because you are no longer a visible target which makes it harder for them to have an effect. So they talk about you behind your back. Who cares. Those that listen to and believe without getting both sides of the story aren't the kind of people you need or want in your life. Unless, of course, you are just a glutton for punishment.

otay! Let's play!

Stop complaining and get busy!

Oh dear. How could I have forgotten about Maddy. ... sets self on fire

*click* Hey! It works!

Um... we're both predators... do we really want to do this?

It was something along the lines of $395 a month (or more) and the set up fee was $1,000.00 US.

And yet, my early daze experiences were totally different from Dilli's. On a tater. No, I couldn't run it on high graphics but I didn't have near the tech problems other people did, just low frame rates, which everyone had. Well. Almost everyone. There were those with the big fancy powerhouses but not everyone had/has that kind of money.

What does wrestling have to do with a Japanese band? Never mind. Read a little further. I'm so glad I stopped watching wrestling back when it was still worth watching.

It's not make DUE, it's make DO! It's not mute, it's MOOT!

Who?

You mean like a so badly written, unorganized forum post that is nearly a forum page long itself. Get off that bronco before you get thrown.

I have hearing loss. What good will it do me when I can't understand what is being said. Have they CCed it? Are they depending on YouTube crappiest CC? I'm not alone and there are people who are fully deaf in SL. Are you going to tell them to go watch a video they can't hear at all? FFS

A Town Hall with a total of 84 people at it out of thousands. Region capacity is 100. Yes, everyone in SL should attend every Town Hall. Thousands of people need to try to cram themselves into a region that holds 100 people, all at once. Brilliant!
