    Yes, "their side" does that. Like when I not only cut-and-pasted, but predicted what the reply would be, which actually came true in the next post?

    Not a very impressive prediction though in reality.  I "predicted" someone would come and assert this again given the topic.  Oh, look I wasn't disappointed.  What?  No, I didn't need to post about my "prediction" as if it was anything insightful.  When someone gives a contentious often repeated viewpoint, it generally will not go unchallenged.  Not rocket science really.

    Troo, troo,  it has ingrained itself in the userbase, since it was one of the early successful mesh bodies, but it's still falling behind in terms of attractiveness, body details, THOSE SHOULDERS, which need deformers to proportion correctly , lol.... We must transition into better bodies eventually. 

    Yeah, nah.  We get it, it has it's detractors and haters, always has and they've always been the loudest mouths.  Being the most popular body in SL will always have that effect.  For some of us, while the time may come where there is something better to choose from, it hasn't arrived yet.

  3. On the subject of the spurious interpretation of LL policies for mainland regarding orbs.  LL wouldn't need to put anything there to give them an "out" for implementing later, they would just change the policy once they decided to do something about it just as they do with any other area of the ToS whenever they need to.

    It was striking to see the SL puppetry demo. Someone rigged for body and face tracking, and with a good microphone, came alive. They really were in SL, not just driving the avatar. I thought SL was poised for a major breakthrough in immersion.

    (This was back when Facebook Horizon looked like a threat.)

    I saw the same demo but just didn't come away with the same impression I suppose.  It was clever certainly but not a game changer for SL in my opinion.

    I even don't know how to find my own messages.  No search option. Or I don't know how 

    I can help you with that:

    First go to your profile like this:

    Then go to "See My Activity" here:

    The best option is to edit the post and remove the text.  Report my own message seem a little bit heavy. But I have to do that post per post  and find them. 

    That isn't going to help after a couple of days, you lose the ability to edit your own posts after a while.  Not sure if it's 24 hours or longer.

    where is the option to delete a post after x days ?

    There isn't one and never has been to my knowledge.  Best you can do is report your own post and request it to be removed but they may decide to leave it anyway.

    Go watch Phia's "Virtual Reality Show" on YouTube.

    I was hoping that the SL puppetry project would take SL there, but LL bailed on that project.

    Those videos don't answer the question though, they are just VRChat videos.

    So instead of AO's making our avatars fidget around, there would be people doing their own fidgeting around.
    Why is that important?

    Do people really want to see other people scratching themselves, doing uncoordinated dance moves and gesticulating wildly?
    Is that going to make SL richer somehow for those people?

    Or is it that people who have bought expensive VR headsets really need to find a use case to justify using them?

    These kinds of users are only really ever going to be a niche set in SL in my opinion.

    Most people come to SL to escape RL limitations and/or achieve a sense of making an "idealised" version of themselves.
    It seems to me that the more of the real world people bring in with them, the less they are able to do that.

    On the SL puppetry front, I think if LL had delivered it, it would be used by some but would never have become the norm in the same way voice hasn't and for probably a similar set of reasons.  I'm not sure it would add much at all to most people's SL experience.

    There are a few of them on the forums, Bellisseria themes, avatar gender, avatar height, avatar race, AI images, security orbs, bots, mobile viewers, improvements to the viewer, PBR,  and so on.  Every forum has them, like in World of Warcraft, bringing up player housing is going to set some people off. 

    🤣 We should have a sticky at the top of the forum with trigger subjects for residents of the forum to avoid.

    If you can name a topic, there's been at least one example of it here on the forums where the flames have burned bright and high.
