I just waded through all 12 pages and let me just say, "wow."'

I am really surprised at LL's response to the email that was sent to them ... "unlikely" and have 90 days to remove. Now that communities like these have helped sustain the SL community, they're grown large (and most probably shaping up for an acquirer), they're just shafting us.

I totally understand their need to enforce their brand name (that article that was posted earlier by Flip was excellent) and see no problem in that, really. However, to deny special exceptions to prominent sites that were previously allowed to use it, is absurd.

I have a feeling that in 90 days, they will start the cease and desist letters. Linden's really don't have to enforce this, just their ravaging lawyers they'll unleash upon us.

Personally, I know I have to do a lot of website cleanup to become compliant. But hell, I'm probably not even eligible for their "inSL" logo because of their "PG" standards required (the in-game content is definitely mature, but the website isn't).
