so the software "Emerald" has no flaws that effect second life in any way you say?
attempted DDoSing a website from the client exposing user data to the world(then hiding it in encryption that is sent only to the creators) those are goodies that everyone wants to be a part of i take it. i mean thats what you are saying. perhaps you need to go read the TOS mate. you know that thing that you clicked "I AGREE" to when you logged in. LINDEN LAB reserves the right to revoke your access to the second life servers at anytime for any reason (or for no reason at all) with or without notice. no one cares one way or another which clients you install. just like no one cares what other stuff you have on your computer(except the emerald devs) the only thing lindens care about is the fact that they asked the developers to remove the bull s#$T from the client that was in violation to their rules. the devs "REFUSED" <---- do you even understand that word? linden lab blocks the client that is in obvious violation of the TOS and state that they will BAN/terminate your access to second life if you bypass that block on the software. now.... lets have a peek at this lets say you get hash banned from second life. and you change your ip and mac address. and log into sl if they find out that it is you.... what happens? THEY BAN YOU AGAIN. are you saying they dont have the right to ban you? if so log out of sl and log into open sim. now. that being said i think that if they are going to block emerald and obviously ban key creators from second life they NEED TO.....(AND WOULD A LINDEN PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE) ban all accounts that those people have. instead of just allowing them to generate 10000000 alts with the last name MODULARSYSTEMS(wait they already have) and logging in as much as they want. now. im going back to my snowstorm. could we please move the topic to something that has relevance to what this group is called?
