  1. Hi, and Welcome to Second Life 1. 17.5 years 2. If you are counting you are not doing it right. (Just teasing...it changes week to week, first ten years 16+ hours a day, some days would roll into the next, and that still happens at various times of the year) 3. As a fashion blogger for over a decade etc, the time spent on looks is pretty close to the 16+ hours per day... Working as a store Manager for many stores over the years also, the day to day 'looks' work looks, casual looks and so on all just roll into each other. 4. My real life information is known by a handful of people, it is not something I would ever share lightly. 5. Join Second Life by using lower case for their name... *looks at you, looking at me...I decided to forgive you though, because your name in RL is alliterative like mine is here.
  2. I had an experience recently where I put on the top, it was timed, I went to wear the bottom ( I like using wear, add is not my go to) and it removed the top, ok so they did not bother to choose a designated attachment point both were going to the same hand. I actually like knowing that, so I can deal with it, instead of adding. I went to re-wear the top that was removed, it was 'timed out' I had not worn it for longer than it took to wear it and try and wear the other part to the item, there was no delay, this script it seems was a try ONCE and once only option. I was so annoyed I left. I had gone to buy that item, it was not just a try some stuff on situation and it occurred. So not only did I not get what I went to buy, but I won't go there again. People are using timers, because some brainiac decided that people were moving the demo signs under the floor if not rigged signs, so because of those random one off people that were not customers to begin with, everyone should suffer. If a person is moving the demo sign so as not to pay for your item, what does scripting it so they can't do that do? absolutely nothing except put off people that would have purchased. There are so many reasons that you may need longer than someone's decided time limit for a demo. You may need to try with other items, dances and ao's as mentioned, you may want to see if it comes in colours that will go with other things in your inventory, you may want to show friends or your partner and have them help you decide...but the most important reason to not limit people on time, is that many people in Second Life have issues that may mean they need a bit more time, a bit more respect and a bit more empathy. I am lucky to be able to make the decision to just unpack another demo, or get another demo, or just leave, but for some this kind of experience can be disheartening and make them even more aware of their needs not being cared about. I hope creators consider in future if that is more important than stopping some drongo from shoving a demo sign into the floor to save 87c
  3. https://wiki.casperdns.com/index.php/CasperVend_2/Marketplace_Link as far as I know it has always been possible, I see this question often, so not sure why it is not clear to people that it is something you can do. I misread the question, as in I read the first part and went straight to google, my apologies.
  4. Sachi has pretty much left Second Life due to RL attention needs. But as my store is on that region I can honestly say that it did/does bring new residents to her store on the daily. I look forward to the content that will be created for Senra because whether a customer starts out with Senra and moves on to another mesh body, it has been made clear that you can of course include Senra with other products, so Senra would just be something people include with the bodies they already make for, so the transition would be painless for them. The only "only Senra" mentioned was if you used their unpacker that you would pack them with Senra only, it did not say that that unpacker could not be one of multiple in your product, or that you could not use your own unpacker. So all creators to have some items that include Senra would be beneficial to them as being a store a new resident may come to as the start of their fashionable journey.
  5. The approval section does not actually say that every item has to be sent, it says that 'if' LL wish to see said items, that you provide said items, its after the () section but it is there.
  6. Maybe we are older and wiser? A lot of people that are in the system have been here a long time, a lot of people turning up to help have been here a long time. Possibly the investment in doing it right this time. In the past everyone involved only had a set number of years under their belts, now that is considerably different. We have learned along the years, we have grown as a community, we understand better now what it is like to be new, what it has been like to learn and adapt to new features. We possibly have more empathy. I personally want it to succeed, because I want people coming into Second Life now to have experiences that we have been lucky enough to have had. No one prepares you for what Second Life can be, but we can certainly try by example.
  7. Depending on what you are like, you can remember a fair few people as fleeting as the moment may be in them arriving on a landing point. These are not a series of Daves and Michelles, they often have rather memorable names. If you are spending time at the Welcome Hub and greeting people, interacting even if one sided, you will tend to store those names, for at the very least, a few days.
  8. she left a long time ago, SL was not her main job, so she let it go. There was talk of her coming back and doing a collaboration, but not sure if that happened or she is here with another name/brand. But I am so glad I still have her skins, I wear this one often, so to be able to move it over to Senra is great. I understand us oldbies have different inventories than new users, we will benefit greatly from that, as we have with BOM so far ( I love bom, I love making alpha layers etc) But this will be a great way to help new users find alternatives and maybe to be a bit more creative along the way.
  9. Busting out the Glance Skin Lana and some Pig Bodysuit and League Shorts. I totally plan on creating multiple outfits with the Senra avatar so that when at the Welcome Hub it is clear that some changes can be made and you can be ADORABLE. I did not use the included shapes, because I just wanted to alter my own.
  10. I got mine and to be honest, the waiting 7 years to benefit was not the case. I feel instantly great, my regular annual was due at the end of this month so that was going out already, and I now know i don't have to even account for that in future, it is done. So while a larger amount went out than usual, it was money I had. If you have the funds, do it.
  11. I have the stipend of 500 too I was scared of that loss also
  12. I got all worked up into a tizz, I made a ticket and then I ended up closing it when I calmed down. I am older now, I have paid premium for 17 years and had regions for 13, to not have any benefit for 7 years was too much, and that this was not even 1% of the user base that can get this made me sad, I was sad, that is not the feeling that should have happened. The idea that if i had kept the ticket and not gotten a spot, when willing to pay that, would have really upset me. One day they may offer it as an actual option, and then I will have time to decide, this was pressure, this was best bank balance wins. I had the balance, but looking that many years into the future when you have already 17 behind you, it is more beneficial to younger accounts, and why take a spot they could have. There was no incentive other than spending lots, there was no special coloured profile lol, no vanity plates to display, no SLB20 something that would have made doing it now a collectible that they could have offered different each year. no SLifer last name lol. Good luck to everyone that did a ticket, I really hope you get them, I am sorry it was a limited amount of people and not a limited amount of time, running the option for the full celebration time would have been amazing.
  13. That is another great reason for Mentors to have Last name - Mentor - so that there is no ability to impersonate a linden approved Mentor. I would love to be Sasy MentorSL WOOHOO a separate account though of course, not changing my real name.
  14. I signed up as myself because they seemed to have missed the option of experience, so having that 17 years felt important, but I do hope if they do not create accounts for us that they will let me change to an old enough alt lol. Do you see how I keep commenting as though it is a done deal I am doing one of those visualisation, positive reinforcement tricks.
  15. I signed up, I find that I did at first balk at must use SL viewer but that does make the most sense, and it is also important for people that interact or assist people in SL to actually have more insight into the differences in viewers. Knowing the basics of differences between the two should be a course in itself, especially for content creators to understand what their customers may experience. I do agree that the mentor accounts should be compensated in some way eventually, premium accounts etc. But my main request would be the ability to log into a designated account. Lindens of course would know that ______ Mentor is Sasy Scarborough but when off the clock so to speak your main account should have the ability to be not on the clock, and I know from many years of SL customer service that is very important.
