Some thoughts about The Grid-Wide AuctioN Calendar for KittyCats

[Beadnstone Jewell]

I am a lurker who doesn't post but I would like to make a comment about this one.

I have always liked the calendar and have used it several times. I also use resources on SL to alert me to auctions. The ONE thing I really like about the auction calendar is that it was not branded by one market. Yes the person that did it, works for a market sim but the calendar was put up on a neutral spreadsheet. No advertising and No reference to a specific sim.

I think an updated Calendar is needed by the community as we have gotten so very large. I do think people forget that while we are an avatar on Second Life, we are a real person behind that avatar. We have a real life, real feelings, real problems and generally a family who needs us in Real Life.

Bree, I think you do a good job with the info you have available. Unless you can find someone to attend every auction every day and night, I don't see it ever being 100% accurate. That is why you depend on the auctioneers to give you the info. I do think we need to keep an auction active for at least two weeks unless notified otherwise.

As for another calendar that is on a website that is built by a market sim, the suspicion of unbiased accuracy is going to always be a factor.

Now back to being a lurker.
