Blog authors, be responsive!

I've been reading Linden Labs blog for a while now. They make many announcements there that could impact your second life, like the one a bout gambling becoming illegal in SL. But i noticed a trend. They will post an entry, people will respond and ask questions, but never does anyone actually respond to those questions. It almost seems like it is a policy of theirs to not respond to blog comments... strange don't you think?

If you use a blog to make announcements, then why not respond to those reading those announcements and having questions about it? C'mon Linden Labs, this makes you look like some slow moloch, taking weeks to respond. How hard is it to read the comments on your own messages and provide answers to very reasonable questions?

Casino's in Second Life forced to close!

Today i logged on to Second Life to play a game of Poker in my favourite casino, PokerPalace, owned by Amsterdam Alonzo. But to my astonishment, the building was almost entirely gone! I noticed Amsterdam standing there so I flew over to him to ask him what had happened, but I apparently intruded on a private conversation because he banned me from his land. I apologized over IM and asked him what happened to his casino, when he told me:

"All the casinos have to close in sl. They fucked us".

Aargh, Linden Labs what are you doing? The casino business was a profitable business in SL and has probably contributed greatly to it's success. This will cost them. What's next? Banning porn?

Here is a link to their blog posting concerning this.
