Anshe Vs. InfoNet. Here we go again!

Posted by Simon Lameth on December 9, 2005

Land barron Anshe Chung, who vowed to take down Ginko Financial a few weeks ago, partnered with a "katykiwi Moonflower" now has a new target. The InfoNet.
As we posted a few weeks back we heard that InfoNet terminals were on their way to the Welcome Areas. Since then that has happened, and new residents have the abillity to view Squagmire Stravinsky's InfoNet (For non-SL Players, it's the equivelent to a limited internet, with few pages and some scripts and landmarks). Anshe is mad because one of her parcels is listed in the "Second Hell Tourbus" page.
A sentence from the page reads "The Second Hell Tourbus is a weekly tour of Second Life's worst places and people. We're talking the ugliest offensive builds, the most expensive stores, worlds biggest rip offs, and the con-artists of SL."
But, Why don't we look at the last sentence:
Disclaimer: InfoNet Systems is not responsible for articles relating to the Second Hell Tourbus as they are controlled by a third party publishing group. As a result, InfoNet Systems is un-able to answer any queries relating to the Second Hell Tourbus.

More to come.
