This "business practace" is is very questionable as You say, and I don't feel I am following the masses. I run a business and I care about this game and it's people, so I care about mainland and it's destruction. This is in no way effective advertising. In nearly all cases the only people who see these ads are the few people living against them. The people who use this method know full and well that they are making the land look horrible in an effort to force people into paying high prices to have them removed from view. Weather You cut the land yourself or buy already cut land, you are part on enabling this nasty practace. This image of a friendly, community loving, respected adfarmer with good intentions does not exsist. You are never going to be viewed as a contributing member of the community if You buy perfect land surrounded by nice residential homes and throw up ads. Is there a need for advertising in second life? Of corse! Hurting Your fellow residents and putting up a eyesore thats only viewed by the few people against it is not effective advertisng. Advertising on high traffic second life websites, buying ads inside of busy establishments, opening a nice build focused on Your business, holding events focused on Your business, these are effective forms of advertisement that doesn't hurt your fellow residents. Also Like I mentioned above, I have always hated seeing Robos ads pop up in areas that were forerly wonderful clean residential areas that at all of a sudden have giant rotating eyesores. The reason I choose to mention Robo was I felt he crossed a line when he decided to spam me personally by dropping ads in my inventory. Then when he decided to make all machines in bidsl unusable because he filled all of there machines with ads for his own. Honestly not sure how You can support that one. Please go speak to the kind people who run it and see how they felt walking in and seeing what he had done to them. It was a sad display on his part and in no way "marketing".

Like I have said time and time again, this blog is my place to speak my views, feelings, and opinions, If You dislike them thats fine with me. You don't need to read them, but I do find it flattering that so many people including You do.

P.S. I don't for one moment believe You are a newbie.
