Calling all cultures? Not any more

May 30th 2008 9:45PM This just in. After Marv, Ariel drops the flag.
Recieved as a group notice:
"I have spent 2 lives in SL starting in '04. During those times I spent as a volunteer on many levels. Through this, I valued the true nature of a world owned by its people. SL5B is a turning point where many SL citizens are going to be discriminated against. Therefore, I am bowing out of my management roles for SL5B but will stay within the group to advise only. I am deeply ashamed to be promoting SL5B while others in the community are pushed aside. We are all RL behind the avie.-- Ariel Otafuku."

May 30th 2008 2:05PM I'm going on the news, I got confirmation that LL insisted on removing Goreans and BDSM from the registration form as cultures. I will talk to Dusty ASAP to see what's up, but I'm not very pleased with the whole situation. All this work to get tossed around at the last hour of planning this event, this is hard to swallow.

Why Second Life belongs at Massively

Nov 28th 2007 10:51AM Well my awesome friends Tateru, Akela, Moo, Eloise, and the others, I can't say I didn't see that coming... massively LOL
I remember that time Akela got booed because he made one of those mashed up articles about SL on Joystik. I didn't see how that would change with Massively.
What many Massively viewers seems to think is that SL is not a game, but still treat it equivalently to other games in a matter of news treatment.
SL is a massive development environment where things other than gaming actually happends. There's some politics, changes that impacts thousands of users, new products, art expositions, you name it. Hence the high number of articles.
So i predict that Massively will have to revise their policy and offer a dedicated SL portal and/or RSS feed to allow the "true gamers" to have their news about WoW/other untainted.
Personally I loved SLI because it was a truely dedicated portal and I didn't had to stumble upon boring WoW news (okay it's sarcasm). Frankly I don't mind crossing articles about other things than SL at all, even if I don't like WoW, I can be tolerant. But can other Massively readers do that? Time will tell.

Nov 2nd 2007 12:10PM I had the same issue a few weeks ago and blogged about it. My view was that Facebook needed to adapt to virtual reality and do a special "avatar" status that was not on by default, like Flickr did for "computer generated/illustration" filter.

Oct 22nd 2007 4:03PM no, i thought using a sarcastic overtone to diss other types of gaming would make you realize that SL is a gaming platform like any other else. i'm not the purist stating it's not a game and whining about SL news being posted in here. SL is indeed a general purpose application platform that contains games. and yes it is relevant to this blog. so live with it.

Oct 22nd 2007 2:58PM christ you guys, will you stop whining and go back playing Mario or whatever lame kid toy your were playing with it? remember Joystiq is SecondLife Insider's mother site. so if you don't like SL, it's all good, if you don't like the news posted, look somewhere else, or STFU.
