Lewis Luminos Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 My oldest av is 7 years and 6 months and I only keep it for the L$500 a week stipend I get on Premium. My main one (this one) is 5 years 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krueger Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wow: there are some really old avs here. I wish I could have been around SL in the early years. Does anyone have any stories of what it used to be like? Or screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any stories of what it used to be like? Or screenshots? A very common occurrence in 2007 was regularly having to pluck one's shoe from one's behind, especially after teleporting. And then there was the avatar doubled up with one's head *in* one's behind. Good times!! :smileyvery-happy: Edit: grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Kasshiki Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 This is my oldest avatar, born September 2006. I guess that makes Deej 7 years and 4 months old. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the complete avatars available in the Library when I was a newb (2007). I almost quit! :smileysurprised: (I still have that saved in my inventory - I can dig it up always when I need a good laugh.) :smileytongue: :smileyvery-happy: --||- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any stories of what it used to be like? Or screenshots? Actually, we didn't like it. We complained quite a bit and while LL was slow to react (yeah, that never changed) telehubs were done away with for what we have now. Also, you could get a direct TP but you'd have to get someone who was already there to offer you a TP. If you couldn't, welcome to the up arrow key. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The telehub system was a free replacement for paid direct teleports. Lindens really wanted people to slow down and mingle, but they never found a great way to make it happen.

Thanks. I remember now what/where I had read. http://secondlife.wikia.com/wiki/Telehubs I really don't want to take this thread on a tangent but I've always found this comment there very interesting: "A side benefit Linden Lab had hoped would be that telehubs would help in "urban development", creating more commercial centers around them, and leaving the outskirts of land further away from the "hubs" for residential-type land."
