I want to make records here, my gratitude for your attempt to help the market. Wonderful Thing you do, you have attitudes, some just do not move that peace again, just resmugam. When you go, and support other islands with attitudes, and lead an auction, to another island. Anyway, I recognize you, and thy labor, and effort.

Someone wants to take credit for creating Coop, and never stepped foot on my island, or never bothered to get a translator so we can talk in different languages??. Well, know that the truth is, you do this job long before Coop be created, and with more commitment and dedication than anyone. I see you going in the other islands, and make partnerships and solve problems, and create peace. Thus, UKF has been created, and strengthened, and thus other rings were made.

This is the kind of partnership that I want. A real coop. A coop with attitudes.

My respect and recognition by the person that you are and for your work.

Congratulations!

Applause!

I have to echo your words...I keep mentioning a True Cooperative with concrete goals and plans...and I hope we have that or if not its just another Club to join. Fabio, you know Me and how I think (and that i speak my mind freely even if it annoys you sometimes LOL). But somethings are important enough that silence or apathy becomes the Bigger problem even more than the original issues we have. And its nice to see that even amid all this chatter, someone acknowledges the difficult and often thankless role played by the few who Ask The Difficult Questions. Thank you

Hello

Yesterday I opened my first starter breeders and today I bought two cats on the market because I could not bare the 14 days wait :-)
I am enthousiastic and a bit concerned and at this moment even doubting if I want to engage this hobby even more.
I've read through all these pages and I see people mention there is to come a SL 2 why people may be insecure to invest.
My suggestion for this topic is for the creators of Kittycats to try to find solutions for this insecurity via as much as possible open communication as to where we go from here.
My concern is not the value of my kitties but I get really hearted with them but I am sure it has also effect on the market that people are insecure.

We can try to wave that feeling away as it is healthier to live with the day but some form of security about our cats would be very nice

Hello everyone,

I have always believed that in real life we need to prepare for everything, the abundant times as well as those rainy days. This is how I conduct my second life. I prepare for the good second market seasons, as well as for the low market seasons. I budget myself, know my limits, and take into considerations all costs involved with my KittyCatS! experience. I have always encouraged this in people as well: know your budgets, breed accordingly and prepare for the ups and downs of the market.

We all know that KittyCatS! do everything they can to support the Secondary Market. However, it is not up to us to tell them how to run their business. It is up to us to take responsibility of our hobbies or businesses.

KittyCatS! have always encouraged healthy communications among the KittyCatS! community and have always discouraged confrontations between its members and always have reminded us that personal issues should be addressed outside this forum.

I believe this thread has gone out of line and has moved into another dimension outside the original post.

With that being said, and since the Co.Op has been brought up into this discussion, I will say my two cents: The Co.Op was an idea originated by LickN Wonder with the best intentions of creating harmony among sim owners to aid one another in the Secondary Market and the community. Before this Co.Op, no one talked about these possibilities. Some sims had alliances, but not everyone had come together with the same purpose and ideals to find that perfect middle ground in which to work from. It is obvious that some still carry the same old mentality of separation and division. And this is saddening to see.

The Co.Op is still getting ready to take off and already people say that a true coop should be this or that, without having given a chance for the Co.Op to get itself running as it should. No one has ever forced anyone to join and everyone is welcome to leave if they do not think that it is for them. I just think that each of us represent who we are and what we own and we should take responsibility for our words. When we write with animosity against others, it shows who we really are.

All this thread has achieved is more separation than union. Very sad to see.

I agree Ruby it was out of line I have seen this also.
I hope you guys rest assured that most people form their opinions in their thoughts and not per se follow the loudest voice.
At least this is how it works in me
I embrace every positive attempt people have the courage to take and this is exactly how I feel by the CoOp you guys are trying to establish: not an easy task at all.

I wish you much positivity and inventivity during that journey! :-)

Hello Deerne and congratulations in your recently started journey with KittyCatS!

I am sure you will find this adventure to be a joy and an added bonus in your Second Life!! I wanted to let you know that you should not let concerns about things that are yet to be here to spoil your enjoyment of KittyCatS! I am sure that KittyCatS! has all of this into consideration and I trust they are preparing for the future. In the meantime, lets enjoy our Kitties!

Thank you for your post and yes, communication is always key. :-)

After reading through this thread, I'm simply going to restate what I said pages ago....

I know I am probably in the minority, but getting into any breedable, especially with today's SL economy, with intent to make a profit or even break even, is a bad idea. That goes for breeding as well as market ownership. If it isn't for fun, or if you're spending more than you are comfortable with or can afford, it's time to cut back. I manage a market and I have seen a decrease in rentals the past couple of months, but we don't "blame" KC or make them responsible for improvement. Markets have to take their own initiative to draw renters and traffic to their sims.

I'll add to that, I think LickN's co-op was introduced with nothing but good intentions and kittycat fellowship. If you want to be a part of it, how about taking the initiative to contact him directly, get involved in discussions, get the correct information, instead of sitting idly by forming your own misconceived notions or listening to those who have no other agenda but to be a basher.
