I guess by your logic is they should leave profiles and stuff up, no matter the cost. Right now the grid is in a sad state, I'll give you that, but LL is cutting down non-essential services for four hours. (Now it's over with). All they did was make the viewer not receive the group, and profile data. You could still use group chat, probably even send notices.
Shame on them for trying to do what you've been asking them to do, make the grid more stable. I suppose LL could just leave everything on, and then we wouldn't be able to have transactions, IMs, or any of the stuff that has been happening in the past two weeks. Personally I'd rather have transactions work because it's been a thorn in my side ever since the problem came along.

If all the free accounts suddenly were not allowed in
SL, you'd lose more business than the disabling of groups and profiles, even for four hours. To be honest, I've seen a lot of good and interesting projects with bots, probably just as many as I hear about the bad bots. Bots get bad cred because a few people do bad (scumbag!) things with them. Also, doesn't matter what the MMO is, bots are here to stay, we just need to figure out how to live with them.

I'm going to stand by their choice, as it was the best one for the grid. We either have an mostly operational grid today, or a repeat of the last two weeks where nothing works for hours on end.
I've asked many people inworld already if the grid seems great even though groups and profiles are down, and they all agree it was.
With the way you've positioned yourself, you act like all you do is look at profiles in second life non stop. Is your business really that busy, constantly looking up profiles every hour of being online? Don't blow things out of proportion, which is a habit of yours.
