[...] It seems Robin trots out when there are fires to extinguish. Torley’s post that he had been silenced from the main blog, disaffection amongst the SL reporters and bloggers over sudden silences both in [...]

I have learned more from Torley’s vidtuts than ANY other source of tutorial in or out of SL. For those who dont appreciate his style, dont look. By the way, I’m a dancer and that is all I have ever wanted to do here. I hate building and couldn’t script my way out of a paper bag… most classes in SL have flown over my head. However, thanks to Torley’s wacky style, I have actually completed a few small projects and even mustered the guts to enter the very public snowman building contest during winterfest. Thank you Torley!

Haha tell it like it is ColeMarie always better to speak your mind. If I could find mine I’d do the same.

Torley has always worked really hard to bring fun and INFORMATION to people. Shame on tounge wagging assholes. Oops I said too much.
Oh wells.

Dusan, I haven’t been banned! This wild speculation is cooking to cook up imaginations crazier and colorful than what I could muster.

But here’s a hint as to what I’m working on next: watch http://secondlife.com/showcase in times to come.

Also, subtle clues in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBIdIiSY45U

@Maklin: I’m not Communications Manager, Katt is. And for shame, you forgot to mention the many historical, critical discussions I’ve had with Residents about improving SL’s usability, among other things.

Not to mention numerous tutorials that show workarounds for bugs, like at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Video_Tutorials/Quicktips

I do find it amusing that I’m perceived as “perma-neon”, but that’s where I must… GO… EMO!!!!

OK, not convincing enough? *sigh*

I believe it’s a temporary ban – Torley is hinting at exciting happy happy things to come! Stay tuned for a SLim Torley? A new Help Island? Who knows – but maybe we’ll lose the neon?

WHAT?? No more manically happy rearranging of the deck chairs while the titanic sinks? How shall we ever survive without regular fluff pieces?

Seriously, all I can say is its about goddamn time! Torley should have been muzzled long ago. LL needs a PROFESSIONAL in charge of communications, not ‘happy-happy! Nothing ever is bad and I got a box of flourescent crayolas!’ tutorials.
