Slink go bye bye
2 years ago
Those on Second Life will be feeling this one hard. One of the biggest providers of avatars and avatar accessories suddenly closed up shop yesterday. I mean, you know, I've read their reasons why and I understand them. But they made the announcement yesterday, and they closed up shop YESTERDAY. And I do mean closed. They pulled everything they were selling. I don't know what that would mean for people in need of a update or redelivery. I kinda assume they're hosed.
Don't do that kinda thing if you can help it. Give people ample time to prepare for your store's demise. The way they did it, I'm sure it put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. 15 years of built up customer loyalty only to be met with an "ok bye" and a yoink! is not a good look.
I use Slink bits on Katrice and Endora. Getting new outfits for either of them will probably be doable for now, but that might get ever more difficult later on. I might have to find alternatives, which means a complete overhaul of their avatars. Have I ever mentioned how long it took to tweak both their appearances to get them right? Ungh.
Here's the announcement:

Still... sad to hear about this happening.
Can you contact them and let them know how you feel? They may have closed everything in a snap, but they probably didn't destroy the data, and could change their mind if they know how people feel about it.
But yeah I'm not really too upset about it. I have too many real things that would warrant my worry right now. >:P
