Title: Black Thursday
Post by: FreeTransform on March 14, 2011, 21:54: Thinking of changing my avatar for Thursday's clawback. What do you think? An all-black square?

The "Opt Out" avatar caught on pretty quickly. And they might have even had some effect on policy. Which these won't, I realize. But it's just something to do out of frustration. :(

So many fights. I'm so tired of it. At this point, I just want it all resolved already. But seems more likely that the only way to do that is in the ultimate fight - in court.

Oh, very clever! I never noticed that before.

Yeah, things did not go as planned, because they moved the conference call to Thursday, and I thought I should have my regular avatar displayed when I was in the Discussion forum talking about it.

^ I love that idea. Even I, as a non exclusive, get to enjoy a second comission hit. Arrggggg.
