The comments are not unfounded at all, if there's anyone who seems to feel they are in control of the grid its the littlefield BDSM slave community, which oddly enough now has their own "newspaper" on LBSA almost copied verbatim in style and all else of the long standing respected OS Gazette. You might explain how a littlefield resident only ten days old manages to get into the newly emptied grid greeter's group!
I happen to know the two people who were insulted in LBSA over their choice of avatars- ponys, to the effect that "I am not interested in all this flying pony chit on LBSA"
I never said any avatars were going to be banned, just not welcome, and a comment about someone's
avatar to the effect of "pony chit" doesn't exactly lay out a welcome mat! I have no opinion on child avatars and made no statement or implied anything about them at all.
I've seen the chat log, you can take that comment as you wish, but those two residents have left the grid as a result.
You might confirm or deny what your "newspaper" says about the "rumor" that you might be invited to be on the admin team, and how someone running a BDSM/slave community will act towards other residents, orientations and interests. Indeed, with you involved in an administration team capacity
(having a newspaper now on LBSA sure is a sign of that coming) concerns more than a few people, not only about the direction of the grid, but the community within.
"LBSA has been an absolute disgrace as a landing zone for newcomers."
That's not true, a number of long time residents, were hanging out there
specifically to help and greet new people, myself included, and we
didn't use LBSA to steer them to our BDSM region, nor do we use a "newspaper" placed on LBSA to direct traffic to or promote our own regions either!
"Don't spread rumors because YOU don't like that you aren't artificially running the show anymore over in LBSA."
Chat logs are not "rumors" and if you can't read the post contents without coming up with what you think you see "rumored" then don't waste my time responding to this.
I never ran any "show" in LBSA, I rarely
went there because I don't like the dark, sterile, futuristic, black
deathly scenery, it's not a very welcoming or inviting scene.
And it's no rumor the grid has always been a TEST GRID, that has been it's purpose, one which has taken somewhat of a "backseat" to the more social avenues going on, (frontend the public sees) and that it is going to revert more back towards a professional test grid with the new changes at the top.
That's all fine, no problem, things change all the
time, Hiro, Neb, Dan et al have been great and work hard for no pay, but each of us have different purposes and needs, and if one grid doesn't match that well, or any more, then it's time to move on and a number of us are moving on, that's not a"slam" on the staff or the grid, it's a change of purpose and change of direction.
Just don't get your curlers too tight Walt! good luck, you'll need it.
