Kudos to them!

Incidentally, at IMGDC this past weekend I met someone who works for Google. He told me that all you have to do is ask google to take down the picture of your house, business, anything you own, and they will comply.

While the idea still worries me a bit, the fact that you can easily get your own property removed does allay my concerns a bit.

Muckbeast, in case you are still alive – you wanted to hear more about villages who stopped Google Streetview cars. The inhabitants of Broughton in Buckinghamshire, UK, did it:

You should add a pvp section. Here’s some pvp terms to get you started.

Newbie: somebody who is new to the game, and thus unskilled at it.
Noob: somebody who is not new to the game, yet still unskilled at it. Also known as a scrub.
Carebear: a noob that believes everybody should suck as much as they do.
Pwn: to make somebody your bitch.
Hacker/Griefer/Cheater/etc: somebody that pwns you.

Had a quick look at the Character terminology one yesterday and couldn’t think of anything to add offhand. Will check the others. Say, the RL address details BH asked me for *will* remain private, right?

I wanted to add Grind, but you already got “Grinding”. Nice job to allow people to comment without logging in!
