Although I mentioned the banning of Gor in SL in the same post as the Gor Grid post this was in passing. I discussed this weeks ago with some very senior people not involved in the Gor Grid and the consensus was that this is entirely possible.
The Gor grid was just a project I was asked to help start up. I am not being paid for it and have no vested interest in it's success apart from I wish it well. I find it really insulting that people have so stupidly suggested that I would welcome the utter destruction of all my own work in SL over the last two years. I've done nothing but try to help SL Gor and now I gave 2 days to the Gor Grid and people are suggesting I'm trying to destroy SL Gor ?
I utterly dread going back as Fabi now. I know I'll face the usual long line of requests but since I was told of the high level of support for a notice in the Gor Sim admin group saying what a bitch I am.. Who do I help now ? Who do I devote my free time to helping knowing that really behind my back so many despise me. Am I right to feel used now ? I got a complaint yesterday that the map was shoddy and why wasn't I sorting out 'Their' landmarks. "It's not good enough !"....After spending so much time and money on the recent update that did feel a bit ungrateful. I feel such an outsider and unwelcome after that.
I started the hub to help new people find good information on Gor and find all the sims not just the famous ones and give the smaller ones greater exposure. Some people even think I do it for money. If I'd continued with my stores I'd have made far more money and still had friends and I'd have time to RP. I'm torn between the half who love me and the half who despise me. Do I keep it open for the people who'd miss it or in defiance of people who think they could fill the hole it would leave. Gor has so many people who destroy great sims thinking they could do better only to find they can't and slink away.
People looking at the hub now forget that it took me 7 months of hard work to get the traffic to 3k yes THREE k ! .I danced around the day it hit that ! 10 months to persuade people advertising was actually worth trying for Gor sims and a month to gather all the info for 'newbies' when I started.
So Mina,.. thanks for the support and careless consideration. Assumptions ? how quick you were with yours * sigh*

Fabi...
There are many who love you for the bright, intelligent, caring, and helpful person you are.
And there are others, that seem to crave to make everyone as miserable as they are. Don't let them bring you down to their level. You are way above them.
Success is often burdened by such things as envy, pure malice, and an unexplainable urge to point out your every weakness or fault.
You have been successful with the hub, and deservedly so. But to these shallow people, you "need to be brought down" to their level. Why? So they do not feel so ashamed and embarrassed by their faults and shortcomings. Since they cannot accomplish even 1/10 of what you do, this is their way of minimizing the gap. Instead of rising above what they are now (filthy buggers) they try to pull you down.
I know you are feeling hurt by these people... but don't. They don't deserve your anger. They deserve your pity.

The awful thing about complaints is that even if everyone else loves you and is happy with one, just ONE complaint can make you feel like sh*t. And that one can make you feel as though EVERYONE feels that same negative way about you.
And worse, you don't just get one, you get a line of complaints.
But my god, look at all the visitors you get! All the stores who rent there!
Maybe you need someone to field the complaints for you, so you're not always on the front line, getting shot?
I've seen the discussion of the merge with the Teen Grid, and unfortunately it's impossible to know what Linden Labs wants to do. Because of that, I took your announcement of the Gor Grid simply as a bit of prudence, a way to be ready, just in case... as well as a new world to explore and help build.
Anyway, I don't know you, Fabi, but I just want to send you some encouragement and a great big hug.
