Business: Ugly Schtick Privacy/Griefing Walls!
Blog Entries: 2 | Bear Infohub War My friends and I hang out at the only mature infohub I know of, the one at Bear. For the past few months, the owner of a nearby club has waged a constant battle to keep people out of the infohub because we are, in the person's own words, 'loitering'. It's a natural hangout spot. We chat, help out newbies, and mind our own business for the most part although we might act a little freakish at times (all in good fun). Little griefing goes on, less than I've seen elsewhere. Well, this club owner took it to a whole new level the other day. A campbot farm was set up to crowd out the sim and keep us out. I was the first to notice, and I started telling people about it so we could AR en masse. A friend popped up a few minutes later, doing the same. He managed to get hold of a Linden (I think it was Teeple-not sure which one) and brought it up. A few minutes later, a Linden showed up in Bear...then suddenly the sim went down for 'maintenance' (translated kicking out the bots). Poof. Bots gone, and the club owner was forced by the Lindens to shut down the camp pads.So, I actually have to say it (omg) WTG Lindens

Blog Entries: 2 | So I've heard...but I've never understood her perma-grudge against people hanging out there to be honest. I just think she went way too far that time. I was rather surprised at the swift action by LL though. |

To Ingrid- that's true for most of the day. A fair chunk of the crowd that shows up is either from the West Coast or from the UK/ Australia. When those people are on, then it gets to about 20 at most. One reason is to avoid places like Ahern. It's a rotating crowd though. | |

PHIL LINDEN SKULLF*CKED ME
RIGHT HERE
| Ideally Infohubs should be in their own dedicated sims -- the problem is though you run into business owners who WANT to be next to these. If I could get a piece of land adjacent to Bear or Calleta I'd do so in a minute, even without products to sell right away, because they're such hopping places. I admire the landowner's tenacity (I forget her name) but SL has taught me many times that your rights end at your parcel boundry and you need to learn to move on. |

My Mood: | Sooo....what's her problem with the infohub that causes her to march into a botwar against 10-15 people regularly hanging out there? Also, did anybody check the sky above the club for bots? ;P |

Business: Cortech Enterprises | Did she buy her land before or after the infohub was there? Either way, trying to grief the infohub out of existence isn't the act of a sane individual. Maybe I'll set my alt's home there, just to annoy. |

Business: Cortech Enterprises | So the idea of making her club (in the same sim) more appealing so people come hang out there instead of the infohub isn't part of her business model? Seriously, if you're trying to attract people into a place, you would think that actively trying to get a reputation as a psychotic bitch would be a hair lower on the priorities. Maybe we should summon her to this thread. |

| I don't know. If it's her land, and she wants to put in camping seems to me that LL keeps their hands off that type thing. What's the difference between infohub people not being able to get into the hub and the landowner not being able to use her land? Tier. |

According to her threads (and I believe she even has a web site and SL group on the topic), she claims that Bear is usually full to capacity so that she and her neighbors can't get onto her land. The camping thing was her way of giving the infohub crowd a taste of their own medicine. We all know how that kind of escalation turns out, though...

A smarter business person who look at all that traffic and find a way to profit from it, rather than being a jerk to the very people they are trying to attract. Just as an added FYI, during the first Bear Infohub dustup the Voodoo people owned their own sim, so they had no reason to want to stay in Bear other than to advertise to the Infohub traffic. So, she wants the Infohub land and the traffic it brings, she just wants people not to hang out there and socialize (folly in a world built around socialization, if you ask me.) | |

the problem is that the "loiterers" are not newbies and really should move on from that info hub. I imagine they think that they might be helping out the newbies coming there, but from what I heard from stories on the other thread (and have been verified) is that the loiterers sometimes play tricks on the newly arrived avi's and I believe there was an incident of leading a new girl off into an open area where they shot her. That type of behavior is pathetic if you ask me. And with a world as vast and exciting as SL is, I would think that these loiterers could find a better place to hang out. One of their excuses for staying there is that they can set it to home...ok...big deal...try setting your startup location to be "last location" and go find a cool club to spend your time in. Those are my feelings on this entire issue. The "landowner" in question is just trying to run a business/school and she is can't with all of the loiterers adding to the normal newbie traffic. I agree, that she might have gone too far by adding campers just to fill up the sim...but I am guessing that she has been battling for awhile and is completely fed up with this entire situation. (personally, I would move...set up advertising at the various info hubs, and be done with it) | |
