  • Hello, the World Stock Exchange sent a notice to all members of the second life group informing them of the decision to close the group due to bugs in the group chat system and many users disabling the notice feature which removes the entire purpose of the group. We have also posted an announcement on the website informing them of the change. All future announcements will be posted on the website and sent to all members with an email address. We encourage members to add their email address using the update account details option on the website.
  • Thanks for the clarification Luke.
  • Heh. Well, there was a Q&A that was held related to the halt of sale of the ISE which ended up being more about the transparency/privacy 'balance', as it were, as well as the manner in which the sale (mistakenly called an auction) was to be handled. Much of it was academic, as the sale is no longer happening.

    As far as the WSE and the group member thing - yeah, Luke sent out that message from what I heard, and when I got IM'd about it I just rolled my eyes and moved on. There is a definite communication problem with most of these exchanges, some of it is technical but almost all of it can be attributed to a general lack of communications skill - which is not to say that they are better or worse than the average person on the internet.
  • I have done an about town summary for this financial week at http://slarmory.wordpress.com/2007/08/21/financ...

    When it's all rounded up together, it makes for interesting thoughts.
