That said, those same community guidelines also seem to preclude forum-goers from posting anything that does not "keep your commentary relevant to the discussion and within the format that the forum, board or question and answer area," and the respondents of the aforementioned link are not following that.  So...it seems some violation of the community guidelines is permitted, even frivolously.

Come now, you posted a topic in which you began by talking about something you heard that might be an urban myth, and then went on to talk in jest.  You can't really accuse people of not keeping commentary relevant.  If you were so worried about this person, why didn't you just submit the information to LL, or if you had to post here, talk seriously?

Well, one of them said it and they might have been joking, but it was a highlight of the Town Hall for me

I can't remember much of what else was said.

Maybe they will be replaced by higher-quality furry type and robot? Like, those sad avatars with the tired-looking rings around their eyes are higher quality? I imagine a scruffy fur and bashed-up robot.

Aww that seems so sad.  Start life already worn out? :D

You mean there is no furries on the signup page??? ??

Hmmm.  They've only got 2 pages to choose from - Classic and Fantasy, and they're all humanoid.  Pretty sure there used to be at least one furry type and a robot.  This is not progress.

I never understand art.

I think most modern art is b*ll*cks but that is quite nice.  It makes me think of a treble clef merged with a harp.

hope you don't mind i mildly disagree with you, and would like to add that 54 euro's is 3 quarters of a years subscription to SL ... and a lot of people in the EU who have basic jobs have less to spend on food weekly than 54 whole euro's. So yes it's a quite high price.

In this light i think your remark about being used to get things for free or cheap isn't very nice.

I'm in England, and on a pension.  £48 is at the top end of my weekly shopping bill.  Just a little context here for the benefit of the well-off.

Well, since a Linden stepped in, I have to assume this topic was fine after all.  Presumably the difference is that this is a book about Second Life.

[15 YEARS!! but I am sad (horrible interview truth)]

@IvanTwin Rogers I am sure that there is no conspiracy between a group like the mafia you mention and the Governance team, or indeed Governor Linden, and I believe no-one will kill your account as you do not seem the sort of person who means any harm.  I also believe you might benefit from help from a professional to deal with your anxieties on this matter.

If it helps, please say what language you usually speak, and perhaps we can understand you better using a translator.

Is it the Mafia?

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

Region or sim, though. That's different. Many years ago, a Linden posted what he (or LL) meant by those words. IIRC, a 256x256 is a sim regardless. A region can be one sim or a group of sims. For instance Desmond Shang's sims are a region (I forget the name - oxbridge?), as are mainland continents, those multi-sim regions of Linden Homes, and the connected sims that make up the Eden region. A single, unconnected island is a sim and also a region. That's if I remember the post correctly. It doesn't matter though. I think we all understand what is meant by 'region' when it's used, and I don't think any of us take it to mean a group of sims unless the context is clear that that's what is meant.

Ah, but Rand Linden says, in this article,  under the heading Deprecated Terminology:-

As Second Life has matured, its terminology has changed as well. Take care to use the current words for concepts and items to avoid confusion and potential legal issues. [...] Use:

• "Region" instead of "sim" or "simulator" when referring to a single region.
• "Sim host" instead of "sim" or "simulator" when referring to a server hosting regions.

[15 YEARS!! but I am sad (horrible interview truth)]

Second Life has only been going for 15 years.  Who has an account that old?  Not many.   Besides which, Governance act on Abuse Reports, not on some mythical special hotline.  Remember that they can see what's being done and said in Second Life; anyone acting illegally can be spotted eventually.

The wider gaps between the dead end side streets on the left side in that map shot are 64 m, the narrower ones are 32 m, so these are intended for rows of 32 x 32 parcels, that is to say... Madlands Entitlement Club 1024's.

I picture an SL stalker going through this, just trying to find my house in the mountains off one of the main roads..Once the paved road turns to gravel road, then dirt road,then to two tire tracks in the brush with the woods getting thicker and tighter the deeper they go..More than likely they'll end up missing a couple turns as well,like most  people do new to the area..Then getting lost and  not being able to find their way out..Run out of gas and have to make the walk in the woods..

Day or night,someone not used to those woods,where there are cougars and black bear,rattlers and other snakes and just all kinds of noises they've never heard before..

My woods is a lot thicker and tighter and more like walking on the side of a mountain that the ones this guy is in..

I just picture this..Every horror flick they ever seen with a syco serial killer in the woods entering their mind...hehehehe

 

What a sissy!  Could he act any more like prey?
