Several Second Life banks hacked - millions stolen

Nov 20th 2007 8:09PM Too bad Portocarro didn't think of that one. "I can't give you your money back because we were HACKED! It's all Linden Lab's fault for their BAD SECURITY! If it were not for those evil hackers we could have continued to pay out 75% annual interest FOREVER! Too bad they HACKED our server. All the money is GONE. But it's not OUR fault... No--its those HACKERS. Yeah. They did it."
If he had, he might now be starting up a new "financial institution".

Jun 22nd 2007 1:45PM How about a "Not Work Safe" notice on it? It was not at all what I expected.

Jan 8th 2007 8:36PM Banning Prokofy from SL Insider was a mistake--a mistake that should be reversed as soon as possible. In general, his comments have been on-topic, respectful, and interesting to read. I'm sure I'm not alone in having enjoyed reading them as much as some of the stories he commented on.
As far as I can tell (based on the timing), the comments that triggered the ban were made on the article, "Hyperbole! (The New Genocide)" (posted by Aimee Weber on 01-06-07). I'm sure I'm not alone in reading that article as a deliberate attempt to bait Prokofy by mocking what was a very unsettling contact by a SL griefer and grid attacker with one of his children. I know Aimee Weber and Prokofy Neva have a history of conflict dating back several years--and try to keep that in mind whenever reading any comments by one on the other--nonetheless "Hyperbole!" damaged my opinion of SL Insider. And SL Insider's banning of Prokofy has damaged it even further.
I can't claim to be unbiased. Prokofy is a friend, while I've only had one brief conversation with Aimee. But I've also really enjoyed SL Insider up until this point, and have friends on the staff. In my eyes banning Prokofy both decreases the credibility of SecondLifeInsider.com and cuts off a valuable source of comments.

Prokofy Neva banned from the Linden Blog
Second Life Insider
Dec 8th 2006 7:38PM Linden Lab has acted wrongly in banning Prokfoy Neva from the blogs. I read the thread that he was accused of trolling in. He was raising issues that had been raised by hundreds of other (not banned) posters in the copybot threads. Issues that were directly related to Cory Linden's area of responsiblity at Linden Lab.
Prokfoy's asking important questions. Even if you don't agree with his opinions--or even his questions--it is hard to have a healthy society when those in power cut off communications they don't want to hear.
