    Phishing? If so, how does it work?

    Pfft, lol.

    A key like that is impossible to know if it's a user, a sound, a texture, an object, an animation,... within SL. You can't know just by seeing the UUID (not UIID, like you said ;))

     

    Normally no, there doesn't seem to be a way to search by ID key, so you can't tell if it's a resident or an inventory asset of any kind. But in this case the clue was the name "Monkey Wonder". I looked up his profile and the key matches his UUID.

    A key like that is usually either a user UIID or an asset ID.

    In this case, its the user UIID of the resident "Monkey Wonder". He owns (or is at least a manager of) Voodoo, who make sploders, amongst other things. Presumably just so people know who to send that spam to, I guess?

    I think someone has a grudge about the sploder rules.

    Personally I like to see avatars that are a little bit different in some way, and a scar is a great example of that.

    But the advantage of SL is adaptability to the circumstances. Unlike RL, you can simply remove the scar on ocasions in which it doesn't seem appropriate, and put it back on when it does. You don't have to choose one or the other - choose both!

    Does asking for friends in world on the forum really work?

    What are your thoughts? Have you ever advertised for friends and became close with someone or formed a lasting friendship from an ad on the forum?

    I've never even tried to make friends this way. A friendship isnt just something you can order or pick up off the shelf. It has to be nurtured (on both sides) for a lengthy period of time in order to grow.

    My first Mesh Avy I had a catwa Justin head and an Adam body. Now I use a Lelutka head and Signature Gianni Body. Lelutka.Head.Guy 3.4. yeah I know, OLD but I like it so why change?

     

    Catwa Justin was my first (and favourite) head with my original male avatar. I'm 99.999% certain it's directly based on Ian Somerhalder's face.

    I've heard of farewell threads. Never heard of a resident stating they were coming back.

    I probably did that. I left SL for about 3 years (2014-2017) and I've always been a fairly active forum-user so, yeah its very likely that I'd have mentioned here that I was back (wherever "here" was in 2017). You know, just in case anyone still remembered me.

    Can you mix and match feet from other Avatars???

    It basically comes down to some experimentation with whatever you have. I've found (like many others have) that Maitreya flats work well with Erika and Senra Jamie feet, as long as they're sized 24-26.

    With older mesh shoes, I've had some luck using the shaper and alpha that comes with a pair of flat shoes. Sometimes that results in a slightly shortened height, but it's not much.

    Maitreya shoes are a pretty good fit on Erika in general, and for calf-length boots, a Freya fit sometimes works too.

    well before i became more knowlagable of second life I went crazy on a shoe shopping spree for ballet flats and mary janes, shoe-aholic go figure lol

    So I have an E-body reborn now and been trying to find ways to fit some of my Maitreay and Slink shoes better, SLink dont seem to be that far off for my E-body feet if I just had some nice alphas maybe they do the trick. But in short  just want ways for my other shoes to fit better  =:3

    If the pack of shoes includes a fit for Belleza, try that one. I've had some success wearing shoes fitted for Belleza on my reborn, they tend to fit a little better than either lara or slink.  It doesn't work with all styles though, and it definitely won't work on boots that come higher than the ankle.

    Hey @Maitimo - curious, since we're on the subject. Do you ever find yourself missing Freya? If I could have ANY head upgraded to HDPro or EvoX, it'd be that one. I miss her so much, but that older HUD drives me too bonkers to dust it off, lol.

    Her nose is just too adorable, though. I keep thinking about throwing that head back into rotation.

    No I don't; I liked it when I had it but the look of Queen was much nearer to what I was trying to achieve, and Freya, while very close, never quite "got it".  I'd love to have Queen upgraded to EvoX but if they did it to Freya first, I wouldn't buy it again.

    Absolutely.  I love my Catwa Queen head. I've tried every single one that Lelutka does and haven't found anything that looks like "me". I did make the mistake of buying one that I thought I could work with, and ditched it after 2 months.

    Also, I don't know how it turned out like that, but Catwa Queen and Lelutka Ford give me a VERY similar look, so I just consider those two avatars to be brother and sister. My friend even commented when I first made him - "He is SO you!" Yes...yes he is, lol - he's got my face! If only he had a female neck fit. 

    That's kind of why I like Queen so much - it's the closest I've found to my original male head (Catwa Justin). It's got a more masculine vibe than most female heads.

    Water Horse of Teegle??

    So, I am no expert on SL horses, but I want to buy one. There seems to be a debate as to which one you should get. The two top ones I keep hearing are Teegle and Waterhorse, and there advocates for both. I am  just wondering what you all think? Which you prefer and why?

    I have both.

    Teegle horses have better animations and there's a bigger third-party market for customisation. Waterhorses look more realistic, they are also more customisable out-of-the-box without additional purchases. So it really depends which of those you prefer.

    I ususally pull out my Teegle first.

    I got a demo of every single Lelutka head they do and none of them cound match the look I have with my Catwa Queen, which I love. I bought Inez which was the closest and used it for about 2 months before returning to Queen and resigning myself to never using EVOX cosmetics ever again.
