Important Regarding Anomaly

Hello Everyone,

First off I apologize for the lengthy post but thank you for taking the time to read this, it is hugely appreciated!


It has been brought to my attention that the following user
on second life known as Name Gothly (yes that really is his name) has recently started up a business not too long ago named Anomaly Designs, it already has caused some confusion for me at Anomaly, So I contacted him regarding his store's name and asked him nicely if he could possibly change his store's name since I have been around longer than him and the fact his stores name is dangerously close to mine and has confused my customers.

His response I will not post word for word since it was private and would be a violation of second life's terms of service I believe, but I will say this he was not in the least bit wanting to be helpful or willing to change the name, and saying he did not have to change it. He even told me to go ahead and contact Linden Labs regarding this, personally I do not wish to do this because we all know how well they tend to handle those issues which is not very well.

My point being is that I have worked hard on this store and have strived hard to have a unique name that I love and makes me feel good about my store, when I first came up with the store's name I had made sure that no one else was using it especially as a common courtesy to any other store owners, so for someone to go and make their business have practically the exact same name as my store and then is rude when I ask them if they could possibly change it, is both frustrating and feels not right.

I just want to say thank you all though for all of your support and wanted you to all know that Anomaly is no way in any shape or form having any connection or doing business with the store that is called Anomaly Designs. I don't care if you shop at his store or whatever. This letter is not me asking you to harrass him or grief him or boycott his store, I just do not want anyone confusing us with him. The situation does anger me but I am not going to resort to immature methods.

Thank you all once again,
Riley Mensing
Owner of Anomaly
