Ewww! Yes, I won't go to family style buffets either. I'm not a germaphobe or anything, but there are just some things that you know goes on when people are allowed access to touch all the food. We also have a sushi place near us that does what I call "conveyor belt sushi" where the food travels along on a moving track down the long community table that you pick the items off from as you like or put them back if you change your mind. Just NO. lol

Many years ago, we went to a BBQ place one night and they would leave BBQ sauce and ketchup bottles on the table. This family came in and began using the one of the bottles. After pouring globs of BBQ sauce on their food and making a total mess, one of them then proceeded to lick the BBQ sauce off the bottle that had dripped down the side of it. Barf! I was aghast. We never went back to that place and to this day, I will NEVER use any bottles that are left on tables ever again. lol

Yah, I bet that's it. In the dashboard under Account > Change Email Settings > Email Subscription Settings > I've been unsubscribed for who knows how long. Prob since day one. I tried changing it to subscribe, but of course I get an error.. .lol

So these stats come by email? Even in 15 years of being in SL, I never recall ever getting them. lol

I agree with the mention of finding a role-play community. I've been in SL for 15 1/2 years and I still find very interesting people to talk to who are mostly role-players, and I've made a lot of friends at those communities. Places where you can develop your character and backstory and interact with others without having to go through the typical every day ZzZzZzZz "small talk". Usually, role-players will engage with you right off the bat if you engage with them and you have an interesting story to tell. After a while, you'll find a certain group of role-players that you mesh where you begin to feed off each other's emotes and storylines. That can then soon blossom into great friendships outside of role-play.

Hiya all. A self shot I did today - Portrait of me. ♥

I agree that ignorance is no excuse but LL should also make it a priority to reach out far and wide outside of the forums to inform residents of changes when it comes to people's accounts that could possibly be in jeopardy.

This is why there is also a big issue with the amount of time that has been given to take down the Gacha vendors. 30 days is incredibly short and I haven't seen any wide spread public outreach yet about this whole issue outside of the forums and in some in-world groups. I'm sure there are many who will be getting a big surprise at the end of the month who wouldn't otherwise know what is going on. Will LL send out a mass email to all registered residents? I'm guessing not. I agree with someone else who said earlier this time limit should be extended until the end of the year for people to sort out their items, but of course, we don't know the details of the legalities that LL has been told by the powers that be.

lol. I was just having a convo with my Sister about this. I've been in SL for over 14 1/2 years and have heard that every time there was some sort of big change. Someone always says it. I remember way back when REAL gambling was fine in SL. Casinos, Poker, slot machines, sports betting...etc. It was all fine at one point. After LL was forced by laws to ban it, we heard "SL will be dead because of this!" When LL merged Teen grid: "Oh noes, kids will take over SL and that will be the end of it!!" When LL implemented mesh: "Ahhh!!! People who don't make mesh will close their stores, creators will leave and SL will be finished!!" When Sansar was announced: "LL will abandon SL and it will be officially dead!!!" LOL. Yet none of that was true. But what would be true in "SL being dead" is if LL didn't comply with the laws and are sued or worse, shut down entirely because of non compliance. This whole Gacha thing is not LL's fault. They are complying with the laws that will actually keep them out of legal trouble and in turn, keep SL alive and well for everyone.

No offence Bree, but this would be a terrible thing to implement. What about people who have been stalked in SL and have needed to make an alt to escape that abuse? With that idea you propose, they would never be able obtain their privacy again.

I asked in the FS group and they said they're just waiting for BOM to be released to implement it in to FS. I gathered when BOM goes LIVE, the next FS update will support it.
