I mostly use copy items so I just remove the no copy ones and abandon the land. If I'm moving to a new house of the same theme, I rez the bundle on edit and place in the right position for insta decorating. If not, just delete from the lost and found folder 😉

Flat roofs = on theme. I haven't said anything about that picture. Something can be on theme and not be to your taste. Moles and Lindens are busy and don't see all the add-ons people use. Usually the things that get returned are returned because they were ARed by other residents.

I love the community region! 💗

You can build a garden roof or a terrace on the roof. Roofs have to remain flat though to stay on theme.

On the 1024, you get 8 house models, both the 1024 and the 512 houses. So you can use a big house or one of the smaller ones if you prefer more garden. If you use a 512 house on 1024 land, you get the 351 prims allowed. You only get 175 prims if it's a 512 land.

We got 8 great themes, and number 9 will come when it's ready. If you don't like a theme, don't get a house of that theme. As simple as that. Nobody is forcing you to live in a theme you don't want.

The chalets are modeled after an American town called Helen in Georgia, not after European homes. This was explained at the preview and it has been repeated several times after.

You don't have to be a premium member to collect candies. The contest is open to all: premium accounts and free ones, and nobody is forcing you to participate.

There are over 100 Bellisseria groups created by users. A few are private, but most are public. You can join any of those or create your own. Nobody makes you join a group you don't want to join, also you can leave any groups if you are not happy with them. Don't like a group, leave, create your own with the rules you want. As easy as that. No need to flame other groups. There's more than enough drama around to add to it. About the Bellisseria Citizens group: I belong to that group, and love it, but you don't have to. If you don't like it, you can leave. If you stay you have to follow the rules, like you would have to in any other place or group. I am chatty, and I like helping people whenever I can, in that group or any other group I belong to, so you can often see me in chat. Chat is open to everybody, and you won't get in trouble as long as you follow the rules. The rules are there to prevent drama. Rules would not be needed if we were "perfect". Sadly this is not so. We are human and very much imperfect. Gingir created the group. It's her group, her rules, and it should be so. As I said before, you can create your own group with the rules you want. There are many people in the Bellisseria Citizens group who love Bellisseria and do or try to do many things for the community, create many events, and help in many events created by others. Bellisseria is amazing and has made most of us love Second Life even more. One last thing, the insult is the weapon of the weak who can't argue or defend their points without being mean.

OMG!!! 😍

A few things... First, using the real names of @Grumpity Linden and @Patch Linden here, as @Natzuka Miliandrovic already pointed out, wasn't right and it was totally unnecessary. Second, you can speak well of someone without having to put anybody else down. I'm pretty sure @Grumpity Linden has done plenty of things for which she should be praised, and there was no need for your derogatory comment about @Patch Linden when even you recognised he has done EXCELLENT work. Third, it is true that @Patch Linden has a background in customer service, but he has also worked as a director in the past and has a background in product and management, and to my knowledge he has never reported to @Grumpity Linden (somebody correct me if I am wrong). It is times like this when we should stand together and support each other. It's too early to panic. Group hug? (Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😉) Edited to delete the names. I can't believe I forgot to do that! 🤦‍♀️

@Patch Linden @Derrick Linden @Whitney Linden @Abnor Mole @Squeaky Mole and many, many others are still working in regions in Bellisseria, and releases are happening, granted, not as often as before because they had to concentrate in the SL17B celebrations, and because they also needed a rest after so much work (they are humans after all). I'm sure many regions will be released during the summer months, and we are getting the stilt houses later in the year!

So much this! Thank you! Second Life has survived many things and will do it again. Change is hard, but so it's growing up. More and more people log on every day. Bellisseria (thank you @Patch Linden and the rest of the team) has made Second Life much more attractive to people who didn't know Second Life before, and many old timers are coming back. Also, everything that is happening in rl right now has increased the number of people interested in working and living here. It's true that there are not as many educators in SL as there used to be, but that is changing. Educators are coming back. I am a teacher and I have been to plenty of conferences and other educational events here. Universities have schools here and more are created each day. Let's just wait and see, there will be time to panic (if we have to) later. Happy Anniversary Second Life!

No, it's not!

Those are the house numbers. We won't get street names (yet?), but we are getting numbers.

Great pictures! but that's Notta Mole, not Alotta Mole 😉

OMG!!! You are the cutest hamster in all of Second Life!

@Patch Linden I don't usually comment on the forums because things tend to get out of hand rather kickly, but... I've been to many events for the SL16B celebrations and seen the tipjars for the performers there. I don't think of them as business, but as a way of thanking somebody for entertaining us, and I think they should be allowed. That's the reason why I didn't see anything wrong with that tipjar at the Fairground celebrations. The Fairgrounds were given to us by the amazing Moles and Lindens to help us celebrate the amazing community Bellisseria is. There is no obligation to tip anybody, but you have that option if you want to use it. I must confess that I tip performers even if they do not have a tipjar, and if there is a tipjar out you can see how much money has been donated, so I find them useful. Residents cannot set up a business on their land, no matter if said business is on the ground or 4.000 metres up in the sky, and I think we all understand this, or we should. The Fairgrounds are not resident owned, they belong to the Lindens, and they should be able to create any rules for them that they deem necessary. The only problem here, I think, it was one of miscommunication, Bellisseria and the Fairgrounds are pretty new, mistakes can be made, and are made, because nobody is perfect, and nobody is out to get you... I, for once, would love it if I never had to think 'This is the reason why we can't have nice things.' ever again. Hugs.
