Editor's Notes
- The sins of the bad boys in the Woodbury group seems to be a little bit more serious… not because that they harbered griefers extraordinaire amongst themselves (which unfortunately they did) but that they ruffled up some feathers in the ranks of Lindens. First the JLU Wiki leak masterminded by the WU subgroup, the Wrong Hands, then the exposition of the Emerald viewer developers, Jcool et al… again by the Wrong Hands… Let’s put it this way: the information revealed as a result of the Brainiac Wiki leak suggested that some of the folks in the G-team had been getting rather cozy with some of the people who like to wear tight spandex. The questioning of Fractured Crystal (Jcool) as to his motives (and his questionable background) by the Wrong Hands and the disclosure of the datamining that had been taking place in the Emerald viewer severly undermined the credibility of LL who gave its blessing to the tainted viewer. So the logical conclusion, in the absence of any other explanation at the wake of this unexpected move was that these two incidents led to the mass ban of WU.Feted Inner Core -> Feted Inner SandboxDepartment of Media, Culture, and Design, Edward Clift
