SL Feed Fight Back 2014!!! Anybody interested in cancelling their Second Life Premium account?
~
It would be awesome, if a ton of people (me included) at the same time, cancelled their Premium membership to protest the Feed photo debacle! Anyone? Does it even matter anymore? O.o

    Just use Flickr...the feed has been useless to me since my "More" button at the bottom of the page disappeared....................................watch it magically come back now and make me look stupid!

    I already use Flickr Alexandria... that is the point. People... don't pay money to a company that really could not care less about what concerns you.

    Even in the past LL is not impressed when people walk away. Them knows we are addicts and return.
  • seductive.dreamscape

    seductive.dreamscape 

    I am there in spirit with you but I don't have a Premium Account... I miss my photos and even more, I miss the Private Chat function... it was so useful to keep in touch with close friends when we couldn't log into SL but didn't want the whole world knowing our business!
  • kennylex.luckless

    kennylex.luckless 

    I am in SL to see folks in a large virtual world that has public land and much to explore and even interesting stories, now there is many holidays and not all Lindens are active at once and priority has to be on the world servers. Then are the picture function on Amazon and we may blame them by not buy more books :-)
  • josie.elderslie

    josie.elderslie 

    I wonder what percentage of the SL population even uses the feeds and if they do, hpw many are premium members. IMO , a handful of us rage quitting would not even register. :(
  • vick.forcella

    vick.forcella 

    Of the 600.000 that log in, about 30...40 are feed addicts. That's 0.006%
  • laurin.sorbet

    laurin.sorbet 

    Wait, wut? I knew you always try to appear dumb, but you were actually dumb enough to go "Premium"? LOL! Don't expect to get what you pay for with The Lab.
  • nicotime

    nicotime 

    Hmm.. for me, it's principal, not rage. Why would I (you) pay a company (any company) that doesn't give 2 shits if I had premium or not to begin with? Plus, they seem incapable of fixing a problem customers are unhappy with, 18+ days & counting. Ditch the premium people! I say.... who cares if they recognize why, you'll be the one saving money & you'll be saying "No!!! I Refuse To Pay For Poor Customer Service" :)
  • bluecymbidium

    bluecymbidium 

    I would if i was still premium!
  • kennylex.luckless

    kennylex.luckless 

    I pay for I like SL and for I want other user to be able to visit SL in the future, you can visit any of the free worlds, where nothing works, there is no support, no public land, no open sandboxes and where it is little lag just for it is 32 user online spread over way to many sims called "Your Land". Yes, I wish I did get more land tier (2048) and more premium gift (did get one due to lack of updates), but the main reason I did stau are for the users and what they do... and to stalk Magellan Linden.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    When I became a premium member back in 2007 the feeds did not exist, nor did the Linden Homes. The feeds were an added feature that I have come to enjoy, but since they were not part of the original service which I agreed to pay for, I don't feel slighted by the fact that they rarely work as intended. I am still receiving that which I agreed to pay for.
  • nicotime

    nicotime 

    When I first joined, I didn't use or even look at the feed. However, for me, non-existent and just plain poor customer/technical service, is reason enough to cancel and not to ever consider a premium membership.
  • sylvia.tamalyn

    sylvia.tamalyn 

    I agree with Ima. To me, there is no connection between the feeds and having a premium account, especially since the feeds are open for all. I enjoy my land parcels and intend to continue doing so, no matter how irritating I might find the issues with the feed to be. Giving up my SL home will not make LL work on the feeds any more quickly. I understand the frustration, believe me, but I won't be canceling.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    I personally would never agree to pay a yearly fee to utilize a glorified tweety type feature, and if we are being technical, the feeds are not what you are paying for as a premium member. On the few occasions that I have had cause to utilize customer/technical service, I have been afforded superior service from LL. I don't think that a significant # of the ~800,000 unique users even utilize the feeds. From a business standpoint, I don't know that focusing efforts on a peripheral feature is a sure ROI.
  • stormy.wrexan

    stormy.wrexan 

    Nico, I dropped my premium account when LL decided to ignore residents that blatantly ignore the TOS and were repeatedly reported and never removed. I drew my line on that principle, if they could care less about people being abused in the world they created and all it's features, why would they care about yr pictures getting loaded into a place they don't police anyways. LL has a history of looking the other way. GL with this venture though. :)
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    You violated the TOS by being abusive to people yourself Stormy. Perhaps in this instance the fact that LL did not uphold the policy of not removing abusive individuals worked in your favor, assuming you have some attachment to your account.
  • stormy.wrexan

    stormy.wrexan 

    Funny how perception is Ima Rag, isn't it? Yr a HUGE violator in life, general speaking...can't imagine reality ever really checking in on u now can we...What u see, is smoke and mirrors...but like opinions I suppose yr entitled to yrs....ALL u EVER do is violate...like hostile world of raging IMA...U honestly think I care what u think? Seriously! U are funny though I give u that...Hope yr new year recharges yr warped sense of being. Later loser! :))

  • colleen.criss

    colleen.criss 

    And the Oscar for the most drama in a profile feed thread goes to ............
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Are we voting for the entire year or just entries made today?
  • colleen.criss

    colleen.criss 

    OMG ! LOL , I have no time to go back thru all the SL drama, lets just choose from this thread!
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Well, my vote for the year would have to be Seicher Rae for the first part of 2013...she gave an awesome performance surrounding the OBR event. For this thread...clearly Venus wins for her fake cough.
  • colleen.criss

    colleen.criss 

    The cough was good and well timed, Dres *frothy whore* was gripping!, and the there is Josie blocking me for bringing treats. So hard to choose!
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Sorry, Ima.. perhaps you hadn't realized that I give the status of frothy whore out like I do VD on a particularly, sexually active day. Now, if you're interested in being proclaimed a writhing cunt, I usually reserve that title to the best of the best. I await your submission.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    It just sounds so un-special...But if that is the title for the best of the best, how could I possible deny interest? ;P
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Perhaps I have it backwards... do cunts writhe more commonly than do whores froth?
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    I'm not sure, the wiki did not leak that info.
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Leave santorum out of this.
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    Ima, I agree with your vote. For reasons that don't matter, and a little masochism, I revisited a certain OBR related thread not too long ago. Ms Rae's performance was technically perfect under the standards of how to make everything about you, and it also scored high in the logical fallacies area. When I read said performance, a memory came to my mind.
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    There was a pre-teen girl at gramma's, with a broken ankle. Gramma had visit that day, and the visitor of course asked the girl what happened after seeing the cast in her leg. The girl answered and immediately after, Gramma said "well that's nothing compared to what happened to me when...", and started talking and talking about a long list of accidents, diseases and pain.
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    The visitor interrupted, "if you think that what your back suffered is pain, you know nothing", and started with her own long list. Gramma interrupted to make clear she was the one having suffered the most, the visitor always had new examples for which Gramma also had more examples... and in the middle of this, the pre-teen complained because her foot started to ache.
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    Both directed a stern look to her and the visitor said "it's unbelievable how rude kids are today; haven't your parents taught you manners? When two adults talk, you shut up." Gramma added "she thinks she's in pain, but which kid never breaks a bone? When you grow old, little girl, you will know what is pain; if your foot aches, suck it up, that's what happens when bones break. Don't make me having to complain again to your parents."
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    For some reason, I could imagine who in this scene were Gramma and the visitor, when reading that thread :o)
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    But, who was the little girl?
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    The grand daughter :-)
  • venus.petrov

    venus.petrov 

    I would pay L$ to watch a smackdown between Seicher and Lillie. And make popcorn!
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    Popcorn, beer, cheese... That would be something worth watching! In HD!
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    If nothing else, it would certainly make for a great expectorant.
  • colleen.criss

    colleen.criss 

    Careful making popcorn , it gets you blocked ! :P
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    What about cheese fries? Are cheese fries alright? I likes me some cheese fries.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    I could be wrong, but I doubt it would be much of a smackdown as they would probably get caught up in how alike they are run to a corner to gossip about their respective love affairs with Gyp Q.
  • colleen.criss

    colleen.criss 

    LOL !
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Damn you, Ima... I thought we had moved on to more pleasant things, ya know... like cheese fries. I'm glad I didn't eat any, because now, envisioning the scenario you'd set forth, I would've felt compelled to regurgitate them all.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Your hips will thank me ;P
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Now there's a diet plan.
  • venus.petrov

    venus.petrov 

    @Ima, all we need is a referee for the smackdown that presents a scenario and they have to work to achieve the 'top whiner' award (which could well be a statue of Gyp urinating).
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    My vote for top whiner would have to go to SR, since I can only envision LW as a bottom whiner.
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    If I were casting the role of so-called-victim, I'd be hard pressed to decide between the two.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    The itemized list that SR routinely presented is much longer than LW's. That could be because SR is 20 years older than LW though.
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Woe is us... a tragic dilemma. Should we go with the seasoned character actress or the fresh new face? Decisions, decisions.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Oh...I don't know, we may have to give some consideration to their pet fleahttps://my.secondlife.com/nicotime/posts/52c1b75c7628651ce7003c64
  • dresden.ceriano

    dresden.ceriano 

    Oh no... she has already been given the role of the deranged, emotionally unstable, mentally challenged, slightly deformed step-child who needs to be kept chained up in the attic for her own well-being, not to mention the well-being of others.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Ah...I see. Venus-I think she deserves a pissing Gyp statue for her performance?
  • venus.petrov

    venus.petrov 

    Nope, no pissing Gyp (real or otherwise) for her performance. Neener neener.
  • venus.petrov

    venus.petrov 

    You've gotta understand that right now she's sitting on both hands, staring at her screen, hissin and spittin. A sight for sore eyes. Fortunately, mine do not ache.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Oh well, at least she was able to demonstrate her lack of talent one last time this year. Maybe next year she can take the piss ;P
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Yes, I'm sure her painfully contracted sphincter probably took a bite out of her pleather chair...well played ;) I wonder which alt will be employed to respond...oh the suspense!
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    @Ima: "The page you were looking for doesn't exist" *sadness*
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Hmmm...I suppose we were either blocked or the post was deleted. Basically what happened was I that Stormy W indicated that she had terminated her premium account because LL turned their heads at abusive individuals despite the number of times she had reported them and I pointed out that she was routinely abusive to individuals so perhaps their failure to dispose of abusers worked in her favor. At that point she asserted that I was a violator in RL, a loser, and subsequently, demented.
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    LOL

    @ Auryn: Do you need a copy? :D (I'm kidding. Kind of.) ;)
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    Rhetoric question... Does any of those brave mouths that if TOS were really to be strictly enforced, their accounts would be the first banned ones? (Or they are brave mouths because they know the answer but prefer fooling others by reinterpreting TOS to their own image and wishes, so they are always the *coughs* victims?)
  • auryn.beorn

    auryn.beorn 

    Lee... My own archivist soul would be grateful :-) (And I think, you expected an answer in these lines.)
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    Ha! A stealthy archivist! They are victims of course and their behavior is of course only a result of them defending themselves...umm...mostly from the facts, truth, and of course, correct spelling and evil grammar rules.
  • ima.rang

    ima.rang 

    "Of course" is the phrase of the day...
