Asking, pleading for kittys to gain love from day one.

[Ethereal Hurricane]

I'd agree with you sara, but I've been literally called out, by name, at least twice, kinda hard to merely 'feel' like I'm getting attacked. This happened on the other thread too, by the same exact people, you can check it out, I linked it once, and so did Khea. This issue I'm mentioning has happened more than once, so it's not some isolated thing. I used to find joy in people getting mad for no reason, but for some reason, on the KittyCatS forums, it just seems sad...

I agree with you, so much so, that people should listen, then respond, not just respond. This is a forum, and debates happen frequently on forums. Allowing everyone their opinion is mandatory, even if you don't agree.

And yes, combined with this and what Tad said, I can see how it could have several effects on the economy. I would say, however, that looking at it from an economic standpoint is partially important, although not purely. Being a Second Life gypsy, primarily, I can understand the financial need to use kitties to support moar kitties. BUT if the end economic consequences would be negative anyway then I guess my previous argument about being able to more easily build on new traits is moot.

Yeah like I said, I'm only speculating that it would be disastrous, I mentioned in the old thread that people should, if they really want this change to happen, fully figure out how this might effect the secondary markets. Will it be bad? I almost 98.7% think it would be, long term. No one really seems to factor in those things.

As it stands, the secondary market is in shambles, but it is getting healthy again, thankfully. The Balinese crisis, as I refer to it, really did a number on things. I've been tossing this idea around, or at least trying to figure out ways to shift the paradigm of what's valued, because a shift needs to happen.

Now a days, trying to progress a line of dominate furs is harder than progressing a recessive line. Eventually that recessive fur is GOING to come out, especially if you know what you're doing. Keeping a dominate fur, such as Chateau Cream & White, for a huge breeding endeavor is hard work. I hear complaints constantly from my friend who has been working on a Cream & White line for as long as they have been around, and its ever so frustrating for her. Half the time she gets a Siamese Chocolate with the desired traits, the other half seems to pull the Cream & White, with undesired traits. At the same time she pumps out like 300 new Balinese Seals a week (obviously being overly dramatic with that number...), like it was nothing.

That's a discussion for another topic though.

*edit* I'd love to stress, once again, PLEASE PEOPLE, PROVE ME WRONG, I want you to! I want this idea to somehow be implemented! AS LONG as it doesn't hurt the community. I will forever be against this, unless there is proof that it can be done without harming the secondary markets.
