[Avatars turning into jellydolls?]

Mmm, jelly babies.

[How do you get un-banned for bad review on product]

Okay OP, I'm gonna side with you because barring people from your product for legit criticisms sounds like bad business practice to me.

 

Are his products transferrable? Because if you have any alts...

[How would you have handled this situation]

I would have acted similarly to you OP, but without asking the guy to remove his costume. Though I admit I might not show as much patience or restraint as you did.

He wasn't even dressed as a real nazi. Would she get upset if she saw someone wearing a Che Guevera shirt too?

[A sick, disturbing but true tale]

People like you are the reason why SL is loathed and ridiculed by the general public.

[Why is Second Life supporting users that scam others?]

Sadly, the Second Life marketplace is essentially the Wild West when it comes to online transactions.However, I would assume there is an SL equivelant of a "buyers beware" blog somewhere that would name and shame fraudulent vendors much like the "artists beware" blogs. It may be particularly effective if multiple people have been ripped off by this person.

[Help! My account was hacked]

"Nooo my waifu who I met 3 days ago stole my account after I shared all my intimate details with them! How could the love of muh life be so awful?!"

[Tested out Hi-Fidelity Alpha....]

Had no idea what you guys were talking about until I 

. Very impressive looking. Not keen on the cartooniness of the avatars but gosh if they aren't an improvement from the doll-like avatars we currently have to use. Rigged faces and fingers FTW!

[What would you do if SL closed down?]

I'd try to find an alternative.

[Lol is this for real?]

Welcome to SL. 

[Reporter looking for SL players re: "identity tourism"]

Hello Cecilia,

I'm a 40-year-old man with poor personal hygiene and enabled agoraphobia. My hobbies include programming, numismatism and storing my bodily fluids in jars.

In SL I'm tightly intertwined with a group of diaper furs and am the adoptive father of four of them, one of which who was recently aquitted for manslaughter.

[Why do people take this game so damn seriously?]

SL isn't a game, it's a virtual chatroom with advanced customization options.

But yeah, I know what you mean. I like watching Britbong and Ted's vids because of these people.

[is NUDITY the new BLACK?]

It's not like Lindens are actually coming down and punishing people with naked avs. And if you've got no clothes on in a deserted sim with no one around, who's going to be offended?

[Why Gor is attractive to females]

When women were still living in primitive little tribes where there was a constant threat of the men being knocked off by other tribes, we were more inclined to submit to the most aggressive, strongest and dominant male to ensure the tribe's continuation via strong offspring. The men also had to worry about their women being picked off and kidnapped by the competitors, so they kept them close, possessive of their healthy, fit mates.

If they had to, they would intimidate their women into not picking berries or collecting water after dark. Stockholm syndrome was rife; but the women, although frustrated and even scared of their mates, were biologically inclined to feel attracted to their assertiveness. 

Our civillization might have advanced dramatically and our social norms have changed considerably, but I believe we still possess those primitive inclinations that were integral to the survival of our tribes and ultimately, our survival. (After all, evolution takes hundreds of thousands of years at the least)

 

So, today we just play pretend.

[Ban Lines]

I can't get past ban lines, but I did find out how to get into locked houses. Hurr, I so smart.

[Neopets]

I still have a few accounts which I use to do dailies but the site's lagging worse than SL so I'm staying off it for a while.

[What do YOU do in second life?]

I used to:

 

Explore sims

Watch my avatar dance to music

Listen to people's conversations

Buy lindens

Spend lindens

Rip textures

Break into people's locked houses by via the "sit on object" technique

 

[Artificial Intelligence: Digital Twins Making Decisions For us]

Digital Amie: Hello Amie 1, why don't we do something productive today? I've discovered that a class for 3D modelling has opened near your area - shall I sign you up?

Me... Nah thanks, m'good.

Digital Amie: Amie 1, I see you are consuming a 250ml can of red bull - might I recommened a healthier and cheaper alternative?

Me: No thanks, m'good.

Digital Amie: Amie 1, I see that your firewall is due do expire; it is highly recommended that you either upgrade to the paid service or seek a new-

Me: *deletes*

 

[Skyrim's Dibella Statue Spotted In Second Life?]

Yeah, the SL marketplace is awash with ripped game models.

[New Linden Lab / Second Life Mesh Avatars!!]

Can you move the fingers on these ones? Do they have a wider variety of expressions? Custom joints?

... No? Frrt.

["Child" Avis and is it only me who is uncomfortable?]

I did not say "all child avatars are pedophiles"; brush up on your reading comprehension please.

 

["Child" Avis and is it only me who is uncomfortable?]

First impressions can say a lot. Don't feel bad, I think you were absolutely right to question why someone roleplaying a 13-year-old girl messaged you specifically after seeing your profile.

"You doing anything later?" definitely sounded seedy.

Child avatars rub me the wrong way too. Sure, it could be an adult engaging in some harmless roleplay, but people in this thread seem to be pretending that SL isn't inhabited by bad people. 

 

[Where are the escorts?]

Damn smelly Indians trying to sell us their rape victims.

[New Tax Rules!!!]

I'm in the UK and I haven't gotten this email.

[Confusing second life with real life....]

I'm very sorry, but it sounds like you're in the beginning stages of alzheimers.

[FaceRig project: Utilizes motion capture tech via webcam, lets you become a character]

 

This looks awesome. Imagine if such a thing was applied to SL. With this you should also be able to create your own characters  and use them, so in some aspects this is very similar to SL.
