If you’ve never been to the Zindra user group meeting, you won’t quite understand the issues of the people who do attend. They have issues with lack of visibility, lack of promotion, Linden Lab’s apparent fear of adult content, which is odd as Zindra is no holds barred adult, but Amanda seemed panic struck when residents asked for an adult discussion forum at the resident tools user group meetings, and we know from articles like this over at Massively, that plenty of people find the whole adult issue to be unseemly.
Yet every Monday, regulars come to try and make things happen, to me it’s like Groundhog Day there, I went months without attending these meetings but when I started to go again it was still all about a Zexpo, or an event, or who had control of a group, but to be fair to the guys who attend, they keep trying to make headway, they of course all come to see Blondin:
Relay For Life® of Second Life® is thrilled to announce that KittyCatS! has created a special RFL of SL ‘Seasons of Hope’ breedable KittyCatS! collection to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Looking adorable and cute, the special ‘Seasons of Hope’ themed kitties were presented at the Home Expo on Saturday May 14. They will be on sale right through to Relay weekend in July.
Callie Cline and Equinox Pinion of KittyCatS presented the new kitties on the Home Expo’s Main Stage at 12:30pm SLT on Saturday May 14, followed by a live music concert with Mankind Tracer.
This marks the first time that RFL of SL has joined in a partnership of this type and the RFL of SL committee looks forward to the KittyCatS’ presence at Relay team events, at the Home Expo, and at Relay weekend, right alongside the Linden Bears.
‘We’re really honored to have been asked to partner with RFL and to be a sponsor at the Home Expo’ says Callie Cline. ‘It’s very exciting for the pet and breedables community as a whole, as well.
‘Creating these cats was a really touching experience for me as I have had a lot of people in my life die from cancer and in making these cats I thought of them and how they had impacted my life. So in each of these cats is a bit of some pretty amazing people who truly were with me during many seasons of my life and given me a lot of hope.’
‘People love animals and they bring so much joy into the world. We hope our contribution will provide meaning and help RFL of SL with its goals’ says Equinox Pinion.
Home Expo coordinator, Nikki Mathieson said: ‘It’s exciting when talented, creative people come together to put their very best work out there for others to enjoy, while benefiting such an

important cause.
‘KittyCatS! have grown quickly in popularity since their launch in February. I’m confident that the RFL of SL KittyCat will bring a diverse and new group of visitors to the Expo and help us to expand its reach to a larger variety of Second Lifers.’
Relay For Life of Second Life Event Chair MamaP Beerbaum added: ‘I cannot wait to get mine! Thank you so much Callie, Equinox and Dennis for partnering with us. I am so grateful to you for supporting our efforts in SL with such enthusiasm and generosity!’

As revealed by Tateu Nino, a number of pages have been deleted from the official Wiki, plenty of staff users pages have gone along with transcripts of office hours. Exactly what happened I don’t know, although Linden Lab are working on the wiki, deleting so much history seems rather painful to me, a geeky guy who has read plenty of old forum threads and information on Second Life from a time before I arrived here.
However what I find most disappointing is that I don’t think the guys at Linden Lab understand that people like me love reading old transcripts and forum posts, as exemplified by Rand Linden’s reply to Qie Niangao on the issue of the Wiki deletions:
“Qie – I don’t believe we removed anything of historical value”
Everything, absolutely everything, has historical value, whether you feel it’s worth preserving for posterity or not is another matter, but everything has historical value.
Phil Deakins has announced on the official forums that his low prim furniture store, Prim Savers, is rebranding itself as Prim Misers. Why is this of any particular interest you may ask, well it’s a cautionary tale and one that appears to be laced with disagreement, deceit and downright spitefulness. Phil has rebranded his store not because of any sort of attempt to reinvent his brand, it appears to be more of a case of his brand being in dispute with another brand and someone else being more determined to gain the legal right to use the name.
Our tale starts on a forum thread back in January 2010 where Phil explains:
“As most people here know, I’ve been trading in SL as “Prim Savers” for a long time – in the low prim furniture field. Two months ago a new low prim furniture store opened up as “PrimSavers” (no space between the words). The owner claims that it’s a different business name and I disagree. Anyone got any thoughts? ”
