Missed befriend chance

[Solbarondi]

Okay just sharing and see if anyone have had similar experience for the sake of fun.

 

One week ago I was at this live music place and saw an AV that I thought was totally awesome.  But it was quite late and I had to log, don't like to send out friend request without at least talking to the person -- otherwise friend request will most likely be ignored anyway.  So I just jolt down the AV's name and think I might be able to talk to the person later.

 

Turned out I cannot find the AV anyway I tried, might not have recorded the correct information or whatever.  Or it could be the account was deleted lol.

You might have written down the name correctly, but they're electing to hide their profile from searches maybe? However, if they ever registered for these forums, you can find them using the above search, category "users". Or if you can remember any of the groups the avatar was listed as being in, you could join it and search for the name in that list.

Oh heck, I seem to be teaching you how to stalk someone now :matte-motes-big-grin-wink:

Uh-oh... What did you do? 

But you give a lot of good advice for how to do it, though.

This might sound dumb but did you put "resident" after the name in search?

Hello Solbarondi. My feeling is that you wrote the name wrong when you tried to save it. Maybe a good idea is go back to that place hoping to meet the avatar again. You never know. Good luck and next time write carefully the username.

Since search is often crazy, you could also type http://my.secondlife.com/avatars.name in to your browser and find their profile that way.  That is, assuming you did write it down correctly.

There might be a fine line between being an investigator and a stalker, and I might be there, just a couple of milimetres over the edge of it.

I shall say no more :womanwink:

edited to add: I have never boiled a bunny, and never would.

Thanks all for the advices.  I tried the my.secondlife.com/avatars.name and it worked

I want to laud you for wanting to speak with someone first before offering friendship (and, from your OP, it sounds like you would actually wish to take the time to converse before so doing).   When I DJ, I sometimes get requests for friendship from club patrons with whom I have never exchanged a 'hello'.  I understand that they may feel that they know me from my work and the path of least resistance is to accept the request, wait a couple of days, and remove them. 

Good luck!

Hello.  I don't know if this helps at all (probably not) but i've found that people who seem to be 'missing' when searched for in V2 are, for some reason, visible in Phoenix viewer search.  Might be worth a try.

Maybe I am just a little too mellow at the moment but I can't help being struck by the notion that there could be a story here. Imagine someone meeting the avatar of their dreams and writing down the name, only to find they got a letter wrong and them spent their whole Second Life wandering aimlessly from sim to sim - and never finding them!

As I said, maybe I am too mellow and on the edge of maudling...
