OpenSim Still Going Strong So Far As Land Area And Active Users Go

 

I haven't been on an OpenSim grid in a long time. I just recently got a good enough computer to make virtual worlds fun to try again and see what they look like with the settings up higher. 


 

Twitter Finally Unsuspended My Twitter.com/ChuckBaggett Acccount After Over 8 Months by ChuckBaggett

 Twitter unsuspended my @ChuckBaggett twitter.com/ChuckBaggett account and, exactly as I predicted, essentially verbatim, they said it was due to a flaw in their spam system, and apologized, in a very automated, canned form letter way. 

I filed dozens of appeals the approved way; I filed appeals from other accounts, and I filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau. I believe the Golden Gate BBB will do. www.bbb.org/local-bbb/golden-gate-better-business-bureau 

It's kind of weird using an alt account for 8 months. It feels like you're leaving your real account and going to an alien one. But the old one has the following and followers and all the tweets, oh so many tweets, and my actual nickname and last name, @ChuckBaggett, so it's the one to proceed with, despite, Google's apparent inability to grasp that I go by Chuck Baggett and have a username ChuckBaggett on Twitter and a Google account of ChuckBaggett, and this Google account of ChuckBaggettWeb. When I search for them, it acts every time like it's never seen them before. It shows me the two Chuck Baggett ministers. 

So if Twitter suspends your account, stay calm and keep filing appeals with Twitter, file complaints to the Better Business Bureau, write blog posts about, tweet about, and maybe they'll give it back to you. 

Or maybe not.
