The event has been the SL equivalent of the World's Fair, with different communities having a chance to shine, Bay City, Raglan Shire, the Second Life Coast Guard, and others<br /><br />As pointed out elsewhere, it has been advertising for Linden Labs as well. So why stop organizing the party and loose the publicity? One can only guess at this point. It is true businesses cut back on advertising budgets in reccessions. But also, Hamlet Au suggested last year's dramafest over accusations of the Lab ripping off an artist might have made the Lindens a bit gun shy. The fear of bad publicity goes across American corporations as a whole, not just Linden Lab. <br /><br />Still, they could have at least provided some land, like they did with Tateru Nino's SL3B. The event is likely to require the help of corporate sponsors (you interested Jacek Shuftan?).Bixyl Shuftanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-45248131670510601182012-04-21T09:30:13.613-04:002012-04-21T09:30:13.613-04:00There's a new CEO, so there will be changes.

He doesn't really understand SL and its user base, so to me it's no surprise that he chose to discontinue the SL birthday annual celebration, there was no Kiss a Linden event either this year. If LL won't celebrate it, we still can. It's great that there are many people out there who remember the date and want to celebrate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-72796106828783995222012-04-20T10:19:15.758-04:002012-04-20T10:19:15.758-04:00If LL can't be bothered to celebrate their cre...If LL can't be bothered to celebrate their creation, then why should we?Shockwavenoreply@blogger.com
