I rarely check the original SL for Nowt blog for new comments these days, as I have the ‘blog has moved’ image in the sidebar (which is viewable on every single page) and most people would – if they wanted to find the new posts – head to the new blog.

However, people still do comment on there, even on posts that are several years old. This is because the old blog got pretty high in search rankings because I had it for so long and it was rather popular. Many of the posts there have been linked elsewhere, primarily my inventory management page, and searching for popular ‘info about Second Life’ type posts will usually show my ’30 (and more) things every newbie should know’ post near the top, which makes it a prime target for those with a personal grudge against some organisation or person within SL to try and ‘warn’ new residents about that organisation/person. That post is also linked to on the official SL Wiki, which makes it (in some commenter’s eyes) an ‘officially-approved’ article, which might carry the weight of Linden Lab endorsement.

That post still gets a hell of a lot of views each week.

Sorry folks, but I’m not here to support your personal vendettas. When I see comments like this in my pending queue –

– they go straight into trash. I don’t care about your petty little disagreements or personal battles with other factions/clans/vampires/clubs/what-the-hell-ever. My blog is not your bloody soapbox, okay?
