Ceka Cianci Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Slamming used to be something with companies switching your phone service or long distance service or something like that, without you knowing it. Who knows what it is today with how people switch and use words for other things. Maybe it's a phone that keeps people updated to old words that mean something else today.. hehehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookin4d Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's the "or something else" that kinda has me apprehensive about opening it. I've had it for a couple of weeks. I think some guy slipped it on me at a party, I think...Things go kinda fuzzy at these parties..🍾lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT Kingsley Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 SLAM (incorporating the double slash motif) is a content brand in SL, with both in-world and marketplace stores. A quick look, however, didn't find the "phone" keyword among its products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Checking the SLAM// store on MP, I see furniture with animations. It COULD be that you sat or used a piece of furniture that had a "talk on the phone" animation that offered you a phone to attach to your avatar. Coffee cups, books, laptops, etc are other items some furniture offers you. Kind of an older way to do this. Now, it asks to attach, attaches, then detached when you change animations.

Laurel Aurelia Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I had a friend who djed some years ago, and when you contributed to his tip jar it would sometimes send you something random. I believe one of those things was a phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the creator name by opening the edit window and then contact the creator with any questions you may have.

So yeah, I guess a little caution is always warranted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I went to the store and the furniture I tried out did have single animations for talking on the phone. The newer pieces I tried rezzed the phone in your hand and detached when switching poses. I'm guessing older versions or ones not updated would use the older method of offering you a phone which would go to your objects folder for you to attach yourself. As mentioned, just rez it out on the ground and see if it's a phone. You can even edit and check the contents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookin4d Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Thanks you guys. Everyone has been most helpful. I truly appreciate it. Going to find a sandbox and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistess Alpha Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 FWIW, if you buy a piece of furniture that attaches "props", then you (the owner of the furniture) can pull out a transferable and copyable copy of the prop from the furniture's inventory, then give it away to your friends and such. You probably ought not to, but the permissions system is such that in order for the furniture to function at all, the creator can't stop you from doing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was there early this morning and I've had it in my invemtory for a couple of weeks. But, now it can't be found. Could the owner have seen this post and removed it? I'm thoroughly confused now....

Could the owner have seen this post and removed it? I'm thoroughly confused now.... Did you attempt to rez it? If it had a 'do not rez' script in it, it went into another place in your inventory such as trash or lost and found perhaps. I'm not sure as it's been a long time since I rezzed an item with a 'do not rez' script in it. I'm wondering scripters, if it had a 'do not rez' script in it and the object moved to the trash, would he have to log off and log back on for it to appear in the trash? If it appears now in your trash, just delete your trash is my best advice. It's not worth it. You can buy a phone on MP if you want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lindens commonly remove all items from the grid, meaning everyone's inventory and all rezzed copies, for DMCA complaints, items that use exploits to cause problems, and similar issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was DMCA'ed, it might have been a phone on copy/transfer and thus was pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
