Love Zhaoying Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I’ve only been in SL since 2006, but I stepped away a few years so missed out on the fun that is conspiracy theories about SL! I’ve read about some newer ones on here, and they are HI-LARIOUS!! Please share some debunked theories with me. Let the hilarity ensue! I’ll start: I saw one on old forum posts during days when mesh was “new”, that adding a script to mesh would increase LI. The newest one I know is that Sansar was going to replace SL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) I think at one point before sansar rival grid inworldz was touted as an SL killer some of the top creators of their day even turned their back on SL for it partly something to do with some changes or what not LL were bringing in. Even back in its peak it was never as popular as SL Edited March 1, 2018 by Claireschen Hesten 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 There's one person's old 'LL is against me' chestnut - the FIC - the Feted Inner Core. The FIC is claimed to be a number of SL users who LL grants favouritism to. It doesn't exist, of course, but the best take I saw of FIC was in this forum, where one child avatar used it as Feted Inner Child. I thought that is/was brilliant 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 I’ve seen rumors over the years about child avatars, gaming, homesteads, sculpties, grandfathered sims, abandoned land..but at this time truth and fiction are all kind of mixed up in my tiny brain.

Adding a script to a mesh does increase LI. Each script adds .25 to the "server weight." Under certain circumstances (server weight being the highest of the three weights, existing server weight being within .25 of the next higher value) that would cause the land impact to increase. I believe the land impact for mesh was revised not long after mesh was introduced too - those are the current numbers and when mesh was introduced it may have been a higher increase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, when I researched it after I saw the old thread, the Wiki link I found didn’t seem to mention script as impacting LI. Maybe I skimmed or it was a bad article.

Love Zhaoying Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 How about ________ causes lag? Surely some of these have been debunked.

Not simply because it's small, but because it has a tremendous number of high resolution textures, and may contain many scripts and animations. One citizen of Caledon, a Mr. Alastair Whybrow, was famed for his "sim-crashing" jewelry creations.
