FUTURE PROBLEMS IN SL!!

       Recently you may have noticed that many clubs have either been closing or losing traffic. Even Big Daddy's has gone from 85K to 55K. Now you begin to wonder, How did this happen so fast? Theories are running around, including those from Linden Labs, but none seem to be getting the issue solved. The latest theory by SL users is that there is a glitch in how traffic is calculated by SL. Low traffic=no vendors=no tippers or money=no club or sim. However, " Since Tuesday November 16, 2011. Traffic Numbers across the grid have significantly dropped. i.e. Parcels which had a daily average of 50-55K are now 30-35k, 35-45K are now 15-25K, Approximately a 30-40% drop while visitor numbers to these parcels have not decreased. There has been no reported change by Linden Labs nor any bug reported of as of yet.As days progressed the percentage loss grew to 70% and lowered again" LindenLabs refuses to do anything! While club owners close and lose money LindenLabs sits back and laughs at us all! This is why they have been closing so quickly! However, LindenLabs does admit to a dire searching problem that is costing thousands of lindens:
     "In addition to the Traffic Calculation bug I had previously reported, it turns out that another serious search issue was overlooked which may be a problem stemming from the same issue. ALL SEARCH LISTINGS ARE FROZEN!! This includes Paid Classified Ads, Land & Rental Listings, Places, Events, ect! This means that All New listings, Updates, Changes, Removals, ect. are not showing up on V2/V3 Viewers and http://search.secondlife.com. 
      THIS ISSUE DEFINITELY IMPACTS Land/Sim Owners who Rent and Sell land- Land Owner's income (including region tier income) could potentially be adversely be affected! Also Paid Ads are not showing up so those who paid a considerable amount to have Ads placed have just wasted Linden on classified ads which will not show up on search results! In addition, any newly listed clubs/shops/ect. will not show up on search results which will also adversely affect their "being discovered" and building "initial traffic'."
      So what now? We bug the hell out of the Lindens til they fix this! Good luck y'all! Hang in there!
