(With an E on the end)
Due to Akismet becoming slightly less effective, and sometimes letting spam comments through, your first comment here will have to pass through moderation. (On this blog so far, its accuracy is just over 99.8% – so it still works pretty well.)
In order to avoid subsequent comments also being jammed in moderation, please do not change your name/email address – if you do, it’ll count this as your first comment (again), and hold it for moderation. Which is more work for me. :p
I suck at quitting. The post below is irrelevent.
Until people stop complaining about SL’s infrastructure, I will not be participating in the community. As such, I am pulling down TSL Emporium, TSL Profiles, TSLurl, the TG map API, and my stats system.
Have fun making your own hell. Telling LL how useless they are won’t get you anywhere; it’ll just destroy their motivation to do anything. Compliments/encouragement/patches would be more productive. The latest movement (holding a protest) is the worst I’ve seen yet.
Goodbye. I doubt you’ll miss me, and I doubt that you’ll maintain interest in this for very long anyway.
…are being worked on, and fixed. Just look at the changelogs in the recent versions – hardly anything in the way of new features, but many, many bugfixes.
Just because LL are working on features as well, it doesn’t mean that they can’t work on fixing bugs at the same time.
Here’s a count of changes since (and including) 1.14.0:
New features: 7 (4 of which were LSL functions, 1 of which was Linux only)
Changes: 43
Bug fixes: 197
Now, how can that be called “ignoring bugs?”
Despite popular belief, you can’t just go and wave a magic wand and have bugs fixed. Nor can you get the graphics people working on WindLight, or the audio people (many of whom have no relation to LL in the first place) working on Voice, to go and fix infrastructure issues. If you’re going to tell them to hire more, how aboout you check out their 25 open positions – they are hiring!
As far as censorship on the blog goes… there’s really no reason to allow comments, because most of them are just the same rants again. Mostly along the lines of “FIX THE BUGS,” only to have them scream “DON’T UPDATE ANYTHING!” when they try and fix bugs. Right. And they want to read that because…? Maybe if people such as Usagi who do nothing other than make irrational complaints were to quit commenting, the comments would be re-enabled. If comments were constructive and/or just positive, they probably wouldn’t usually be closed. For example, LL pull the First Look Windlight viewer because they need to fix bugs. “OMG WHY AREN’T YOU FIXING BUGS?!?!?!?” comments appear. This is not positive feedback. It’s not constructive feedback. It’s not even sane feedback.
So stop whining about LL’s failure to fix things. They’re working on it; really, they are.
