    How did you find SL?

    As I mentioned in another thread awhile back, it was one of their employees who was a regular at our former night club south of San Francisco. One night he was talking about this great new virtual world platform and should check it out. Should've kicked him out of the club for getting us addicted! 🤣

    He did IT work on the servers and stuff and even helped us at the club a couple times when the music server crashed and burned. I used to tease him "Did you break SL the other night again?" He would reply the hamsters fell off the wheel!

    Really?! That damned employee, how could he do such a thing to an innocent bystander! Absolutely tragic.

    Joking aside, That's actually really cool though and a hell of a way to promote a community too.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! ( Only disappointments I suffered were two places I looked forward to still being closed down, I hope they reopen soon before the next wave hits.)

    All of your responses have been both enlightening to me and also funny (Looking at you, @Lindal Kidd , Wouldn't be a thread without you.) 

    If anyone would care to keep posting, please! I'd love to hear more stories on how y'all came here!  It's been a very stressful month for me and this thread has been fun for me.

    It's my rl birthday today (june 22nd incase this thread lives past today), I want to know.. How did you come across secondlife?

     

    I was just 13 years old and came across this place back when there was a teen grid but it was time locked, I found it through an ad looking for places to socialise as I was home schooled and being ignored by my parents.

    I've been here on and off, lied about my age at one point and then quit all together and joined IMVU.. Which was a mistake, and then I came back.

    I've tried on an alternate browser, and using another account, and refreshing/logging out/dancing the macarena

     

     

    Have you tried feeding Toby Keith? That'll sometimes work for me, Rapping successfully to a Tech Nine song will occasionally work too.

     

    But seriously.  It's most likely just an old relic from when the forums were first made as someone pointed out.

     

    BUT.  Have you also tried clearing your browsers cache and did a complete wipe of everything in it? I don't know what browser you use so I can't tell you HOW to erase all the data but you can do it with a lot of them.

    I always try to introduce myself.. Well.. If they are across the club and I'm just camming them the IM would look like this

    Hi, Sorry to perv you.  If you'd look riiiight across this place, I'm standing next to an over-muscular deer.. I'm the little chonky white bat in the silks.  But yes'm.  Hello! How are you, (their name)? Are you enjoying your time here and may I have some of it?

    Usually something like that.. And depending on the response if any, I will either make a harmless snarky comment to something in their profile or if they have any interests listed just start with that...

    It's almost always snark as long as their profile comes off like they could handle it, sometimes I make friends, sometimes people threaten to skin me and turn me into a new fuzzy coat.

    Behind the avatar, eh?.... Alright...

    I had something massively long written...  but, I'll sum it up.

    Use to be Lavaliere Resident, Name became sour after leaving the MLP;FIM fandom due to it's toxicity and an exboyfriend.  Didn't really become active again till talk of name changes came up and jumped on it once I came up with a name that rolls smoothly off the tongue with a sense of whimsical melancholy.    I'm autistic with a dash of dyslexia in both spelling/grammar and verbal, it's frustrating to say the least,  I'm also an insomniac which has always been a thing since I was a child due to the whole brain wiring not like everyone elses thing.

    I'm a writer, nothing really published yet but I'm working on a compilation of erotic shorts,  first one is based off a personal experience but with how I have it written it won't be viewed that way.. it's been good therapy for me.   I actually use to be here on SL a long time ago, but that was when I was a minor and the grids were split, us home-schooled kids who were given a computer a computer to keep them from being annoying to their family....  But, with time also went the account.  it was back when you can have a free account, but if you deactivated it - it would cost 10USD$ to reactivate it.

    Never really had a privileged life, anything I got was always second hand, once one of my sister's had kids I got shoved aside and ignored  till an event that left them in foster care to be adopted and me with PTSD... but that's a story for therapy that I'm still working through.

    I had the shape, but not the OG skin I had gotten for it.  I wasn't really going for an Asian type of look back then but I was at the time playing an elf.  The skin I used was one I had laying around in my inventory, it was close enough to the tone I had back then.

    The face has gotten smaller and a little more mischievous looking over the years as I've decided to go with being a pixie character for RP sims that allowed it,  I'm more commonly seen as a white bat when I'm not being human-esq.  and yes.. the hair is recent,  I had long since deleted the old hair I had but, this was a suitable look-alike to the flexi that I wore.

    I don't have any pictures from those days,  lost them as I've swapped computers over the years.  My earliest known pics are on a PC my first ex has,  so here's a mock up of what I had!  Oh,  the one on the right was unedited.  reasons being laziness.

    The first things I ever bought in SL..........

    Oh jesus... First thing I got in SL was a free box of furry items and avatars along with a bunch of freebie dresses and outfits that were sculpted and had flexi prims,  i got those from Free Dove.

    The first thing I ever BOUGHT was a Dnz (I think that's the shops initials) rabbit avatar and some hair from Magika that was modifiable... I was part of the envious vip group then and had some decent clothes.  (I still have and sometimes use the first AO i bought from Oracle.  It was called.. Little vixen or something at the time.)

    I never understood this whole artificial 'Resident' non-sense to begin with. To distinguish me from what? A bot? If you couldn't tell the normal way, then either there was something very wrong with you... or with me. 🤪

    I've seen some pretty impressive bot scripting over the last couple of years when it comes to trying to get websites and shizz out to people.

    I know this has been asked before, but how on earth do you make friends on here?!

    I usually hang out in furry sims, but I have found a few hubs that have plenty of people actively chatting and voicing in them.   It depends on the rating of the sim for what you are looking for,  try looking for hub sims ( I think London soho or something like that is one. ) seeing as you are a premium memeber you could always join a group that's a theme orientated one like a group for the bellisseria home owners.

    Depending on the rigging, the double chin slider, jaw angle, width. cheek sunkenness and the general head width and shape might make up for a missing jowls rig.

    Lots of try and error, though.

    Ahh.. I'll have to look into heads that work more with those sliders.  I found the genus one to be lacking in that department.  (Course all this is going to end up meaning finding a new skin later too lol)

    I think you're right. They don't react on my head too.

    That's.. A little dumb.  I feel they help shape the head and face a little. Ah well.

     

     

    To everyone else, I'll look into everyone you've suggested, I did grab the free stay at home club one.  Tonight my partner won't be over so I can do it in peace

    It would be quite helpful if you showed a reference pic of what style you're looking for and what special part of its shape is so important to you.

    This is a bit like "name all the mesh heads you know" for a pretty broad search.

    That's more of what I'm going for actually,  The listing of names people know.  I don't have a particular style I'm going for,  I want something that uses less common sliders like jowls in the chin tab to edit the face shape.

    I own two Catwa heads and a Genus head,  my  heads are becoming impossible to shape right for me, and I can never get my Genus one to look just right either, with Genus still closed (as far as I know), Who would y'all reccomend? I plan to go through the stay at home group and see what's new later.

    Totally off-topic but.. I lost the chat logs of my 6 first years on SL when I swapped computers and didn't think about it at the time and just formatted everything.

    I'd pay the original price of that old computer just to recover the hard drive. Chat logs / screenshots are super important memorabilia to me, kinda like physical photographs were to older people.

    Nah, I'd still consider this on topic.  

    And that's understandable, I obviously lost everything I've had over the years,  computer switchings, utter dying of my machines,  then just not giving a truck and canceling accounts and uninstalling viewers.

    The memorable ones stick with you though.. If you got a good memory.
