Personally I drop an big and evil Vindaloo fart in the middle of campers and scarper.

This hurts my sence of justice..

So,I took the liberty to re-analyse your figures and re-calculte the result (as irresponsible younster I once studied during some months engineering.. so I guess I am good with numbers..)

I concluded that your next estimation is wrong:
“But as campers don’t do much other stuff on SL and spend a large time of their SLives on their camp spot, they count ‘more’ for traffic ranking. So let’s take 10 avies in the sim 24/7.”
You should take as a correction factor : “2″ , not “2.25″

So the math must be : 12.25-2-8-2 = 0.25 !!!

That leaves us with the question : which quarter of the avie exactly is interested in the message, or.. where can they put it? :-)

(found a link to this post in an newspaper archive.. (http://gva.typepad.com/stemmengegons/2007/06/morreau_en_vers.html)

don’t spend energy on this. It’s a typical example of ‘Panem et Circenses’, ‘Bread and Circuses or ‘Brood en Spelen’ like we use to say here.
From Juvenal, Satire X, line 81. Originally described all that was needed for emperors to placate the Roman mob.
Today used to describe any entertainment used to distract public attention from more important matters.

When will it ever change.

Wrath: I think the ‘camping’ practice mainly comes from the time when LL still payed land owner money L$ according to how high their traffic stats were. Officialy they quit that because it made the Linden Dollar’s value decrease. :p Now the only benefit is that you rank higher in search. So if those casino owners were willing to pay more on classifieds, they wouldn’t need the campers?

Drut: Nah, I like it here. But if you want to invite those two politicians over or send them green cards, feel free to… ;)

Can’t wait until LL does away with the traffic count, anyway. Casinos/malls/clubs will have to find a (hopefully less laggy) new way to attract crowds.
