  1. The last statistics that I found easily are from 2021, It is probably good to note that these are PUBLIC regions and not the number of folks, schools, universities, corporations that are using the software which is suspected to be an equal amount. Those of course wouldn't be considered part of the "metaverse". I don't see how SL really can be defined as a "metaverse" as it is a closed platform. Sansar still has better tech in some ways (no people however) but again closed system. Just some info.
  2. The only MAINLAND that I know about with "private island" terraforming are the OLD "color sims" like Umber where I lived for awhile. Regular mainland is something like 4 meters up or down from the default. Aside from folks advertising that you can use advanced terraforming I haven't seen any way to tell. I think the color sims (as well as private islands) are 20 meters up or down. That is what is sticking in my mind anyway.
  3. But are those higher prices SELLING? Anyone can ask any price. I have seen 512s for over 100K. Just like in the corporeal world asking price only counts when a parcel or house sells for that price :D.
  4. We each have a choice. I quit a job when I was living on "pop bottle money" and no bank balance. I still left. Toxic is toxic and hunger is better than losing your soul. That is MY point of view of course. Not many people would agree. Leaving the thread. you guys have fun directing.
  5. If you can remember when I MILLION was superimposed across the moon one night when the account number was reached "I" consider you an OLDIE. That was before my time but I still feel pretty old
  6. They HAVE been made before. An internet search should find them. Several times. Not new news and you are an oldie like me. TRUE this is new ownership now and perhaps they will pay more attention than in the past.
  7. Well honestly none of this is "new" and none has been "fixed". When someone told me about the article I didn't even have to know the people involved before I "knew". For ME it isn't really what has been going on -- it is the duplicity of it all. And the workplace stuff. People get to CHOOSE where they work (yep money is involved but so are principles). I have left a job or two over unhealthy work place and disreputable owners. Happily I spent 90 of my time self employed so that fixed that LOL.
  8. If it takes almost a month to reply (and possibly longer after an early heads up), why weren't there some specifics WHEN finally replying rather than the vague PR stuff? Have there been any changes? Has anyone said "I did not DO this"? Have the places in SL been visited during investigation? There have been plenty of public mentions of bad workplace environment over the years so I am taking that as a "fact". Some LL employees have been "gone" for close to a month now. No names. Anyone can sleuth. All public. I am glad they said SOMETHING; it didn't appease me however.
  9. Put all your items in a box together and landmarks etc if you want (like in the OLDEN days before vendor systems were in style). The OPEN the box and it will put it all in a folder for you in your inventory. THEN copy of move that folder to your marketplace listing (right click menu) and you are set to go.
  10. All you need to do to put it back to your usual look is take the check mark away by clicking again. If the issue is faulty physics though there is really no way that I know of for you to "fix" it. Sadly. If you have a friend that is more comfortable fiddling around in "Developer" you could have them look for you.
  11. If it is bad physics (and it could be) then you are pretty much stuck unless the creator wants to fix it . You could turn the build to phantom but likely that will not be good. I had some things like that long and they were not mine (rental) and just had to deal. You can see the physics shape by using this path (physics at the bottom).
  12. You seemed to have missed my "a new island area in Belli" meaning NOT connect to Belli per se but still available as a "Belli parcel". Since LL seems to abandon areas after they are released (Belli as an exception as it was overwhelmingly popular I kinda doubt they will be doing anything with Zindra. I was just a babe when Zindra happened and folks were "forced" to exit mainland for ADULT content areas (which of course in the end didn't really HAPPEN (I reported a lot at the beginning and no one carred). So it will be interesting to see. Not my area of expertise
  13. Haven't been watching this thread although I did note the announcement the OP referred to. It is almost three months in and the newest "what we're up to" on the Home page mentions nothing about adult stuff. Recent developments may have put that on the back burner for awhile. I would guess (and this is really a guess) that there MIGHT be a new island area in Belli that was adult. That would certainly be MY next move (maybe not right now because of all the "press" but down the road since Belli has definitely been the best move The Lab has made in a long while. Just musing.
  14. But depending on the starting pose and the age of the animation there COULD be a "hiccup". Only way you will know is to TEST on a COPY of the AO in question :D. Vista has been around for-e-ver. One would think that the rest pose remained the same, but .... You could ASK in group or to the support person.
  15. Really best to block out the actual email addresses or get MORE junk mail. The most likely answer is that your ISP is considering things from SL (or how they are sent) as SPAM and removing them before they even get to any personal filters you have. You do NOT get a bounce message in this type of case. You MIGHT be able to see what has been blacklisted by your ISP in your web mail interface ---- or NOT. I have had cases of both happening.
  16. Update from OP: I am still doing above normal (normal the the last couple of years anyway :D) or above normal on the MP. Inworld sales about the same even though I am on a small plot now and not half a sim. I sell Home and Garden NOT avatar items so that might be part of it. Other part might be that my brand has been around for 15 years or so. It may very well be WHAT you are selling and how many more folks are selling the same type of product with the same look. Overall I believe that the preponderance of sales has hurt sales for creators. I said that in the beginning and haven't changed my mind. I don't do sales events except Shop and Hop and I don't have store sales. So that might also be why things are good to stable.
  17. I don't have any OWNED land at the moment to test on but don't they show up in an area search? If so you should be able to delete or return (to yourself) from that menu. I had forgotten how hard those were to deal with (the grass especially).
  18. Have you checked your FPS with and without wifi? That was part of the OP and mine are about 25 percent different.
  19. Just wanted to say that I have had shops (several kinds and sometimes overlapping) in SL for sixteen plus years now and have never used a vender system. This for the new folks that might be reading this thread. Personally I LIKE being able to see what is in the box I am buying and I most always deliver in a folder or as a copy of the item that the people are clicking on. I have about one redelivery a year because I TEST my products often and well. I don't have sales LOL. So for NEW FOLKS you might want to start out simply like we did in the olden days. It still works just fine
  20. You seem to have your answer right there in the error message. If you tried different browsers and made sure you didn't have AD BLOCKING or an AD BLOCKING Browser then the website is having issues. So contact support after checking to make sure there isn't a grid status issue of course.
  21. I am also NOT on wifi. Learned that long ago. My notebook (less hefty ) has plenty of issues but it is only used in emergencies.
  22. I consistently get over 100 fps except in very crowded place. MUCH however depends on your settings.
  23. The good news is that we can make almost anything in SL now and have it look really good and work. The bad news is that there are way more RP sims than there are roleplayers. Even eight years ago this was becoming a problem. I lived in a RP sim then and owners of other RP sims were going around trying to steal away folks ^^. So before you invent your lindens I suggest doing a LOT of homework. There are plenty of things we have enough or too much of in SL. "If you build it -- they will likely not come". Sad but true.
  24. You are probably looking at "work for hire" which may cost more than what you want. You can "now" upload items from the web (being careful to read THEIR User License of course) so you wouldn't need to learn too much Blender. It is important if using free web downloads that you understand that SL wants LOW POLY MESH and not that made for photographs or filming. Most of the time creators make their own items for lucky chairs AND to be honest the lucky chair - lucky board era has pretty much disappeared except in a few places that offer very nice (hand made) items to their groups.
  25. Just make a new transparent layer in YOUR graphics program and put your text on THAT layer in the same place the other would be. Then delete the "template" layer and save your text using alpha. Use that texture on the surface needed. Hope that helps.
