  1. I agree. It more annoying to me than anything and some do take the situation too far and to me its not the fact that I worry about what teens see since they probably have seen worse its just that for the people who don't care for pixel bumping (heh heh clever) it can bit a vexing. :matte-motes-confused:
  2. Thanks! I'll take the advice :matte-motes-sing:
  3. IMPORTANT: This post is nothing more than opinion based. If you do not agree to mine or to anyone else's opinion in this thread that is completely fine and most of all encouraged but when debating, please give a reason for your arguement and most of all be respectful! :matte-motes-big-grin: That being said lets move on... As we all know Second Life is most defined and known for the amount creativity, imagination, and the sheer brilliance in which the users bestow upon into the grid (Well thats what got ME interested and inspired me to looking into SL). So before diving into this metaverse, I decided to look into videos, articles, reviews, etc. from various websites to see what was in store for me. :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: While Reading/watching these videos/articles/reviews one subject would always pop up about SL. Sure they went into the fact of the amount of artistic content and freedom SL gives to the user but the other topic that would seem to always come up was the sexual content in also gave the user. This wasn't that much of a suprise to me. SL wasn't and still isn't the only Virtual World that gives the user to view all the virtual pr0n they want to their hearts content. Still, many people claimed that the fact of idea of avoiding the of viewing adult content was impossible. I shrugged it off, rejected what they had to say thinking they were making a bigger deal about it than it actually was and still decided to make my account. The sims are all classified under three ratings: General(G), Moderate (M), and Adult(A). General does not contain sketchy content, Moderate has some but its nothing jaw dropping, and Adult goes all balls out (literally). So I decided just to go to my preferences and change the settings to only view G and M rated to avoid seeing adult content. Simple. One day I decided to visit the Ivory Tower of Primatives and test out the building tools SL had to offer and while building a chair (or house...idk..) when I was still rather new to the grid. A random stranger decided to come on by, whip out his pixel dick, and yank.I didn't make big deal about it and found it actually pretty funny :matte-motes-big-grin-squint: Just block the person and be on your way right? However the more I logged into SL, the more I would see sexual content in SL. I have dicussed this to friends and others about this and got the following responses that being: "SL is an adult game"or the one that really erks me: " You only see that content if you look for it". My response is this. Yes, SL is and "adult" game meaning that it was intended for adults. However I don't believe sex is the only thing that seperates the men from the boys or the women from the girls (I mean isn't there many other factors like say responsiblilty and such?...) and to the comment that I'm looking for it, I'm pretty sure ITOP is a G rated sim correct. You can come there to build, chat, look around, and anything else you want to do in that sim and it should be G rated meaning nothing sexual or "adult" realted should be there. I have seen this in many other sims that are also G rated and still see the same thing such as a woman trying out a sex doll. Is this a big deal? Well, It depends on what you find to be morally wrong in your own point of view. For me its this: Not everyone wants to see smut. If you like it good! Theres nothing wrong for you liking the things you do and anyone who judges you for what you like if its not harming them or others should simply mind their own business. My point for this post is this: I think LL should seperate Adult content from our grid into somewhere where the adult players can still gain access to all the same way but overall avoid contacting people who do not wish to see it. I don't know how LL would go about this or in what way which is another thing I ask you guys in your opinion for. If they were to go about this, how would you guys want them to? The main thing is that SL isn't a adult-only place, teens are allowed to come onto the grid as well and for teens to be allowed into SL and to only view G rated sims and conent and still be able to view adult material is a wee-bit pointless. Why exclude them if they can still see the material they're not supposed to be seeing in the first place. Also, yes I know that adult content probably is a huge majority of what many merchants sell in SL. Thats completely understandable and that is another thing what would make this arguement hard is how most likely the entire grid of SL would change by seperating. All in all thats my opinion and I want to know if you agree how would you like SL to change things around if they were to seperate the adult content. Thanks for reading.
  4. Not sure if I'm super late about this notice but either way I think it's pretty exciting SL is going to be on TV again. What are your thoughts on this? I think it's great SL will be noticed a bit more (but I won't get my hopes up...) but at the same time I feel it's going to focus only on the negatives of using SL...
  5. Not celebrities in rl that use SL. Are there people in-world that have a certain skill, hobbie, store, etc. which makes them famous? The only people that come off the top of my head for example are Asri Falcone, Ansch Chung, and I forgot his name, but he was a huge driving force in the sex industry in SL. Also, i'm taking about up-to-date avatars. Not people who were famous in 2007 for example. Thank You
  6. Hello everyone! :matte-motes-smitten: I've recently have been finding myself bored. Well...not bored...stuck maybe?...:matte-motes-confused: IDK but I just know I can't seem to find any sims that can't seem to hold my interest. I have tried typing my interests/hobbies in the search bar but my results remain fruitless or i'm left with an ugly and empty sim. I think there are amazing sims its just that I can't seem to find or technically search for them in the correct manner. Interests/Hobbies FishingCookingAnimeVideo games (I don't care much for the shooters, treasure/adventure/RPG, maze games in SL, Im looking more for like fighting style(Similar to soul caliber or Super Smash Bros. Brawl or platform style games)Rain, cities, forests are what I like to look for when I search for scenic sims . (Rain especially)Interactive art displays? (I can't really describe it...but Bryn oh's creations are a perfect example)SwimmingReading (Library sims)Building (classes that is I would like to gain the skills to create content)Movies or playsYeah thats all I seem to think of ATM sorry guys... :matte-motes-stress: Also, please do not direct me to any clubs or music sims since I do not care for large crowds and music. IMPORTANT: NO ADULT SIMS! (NO NUDITY, SEX, &/or GORE) Thank You! - Jesse
  7. I think I recall Philip Rosedale stating they might be working on making SL avaiable for browsers in an in-world meeting sometime last year in August I believe (theres a youtube video in Second Life's channel's playlist). I do agree, it could be a benefit for Linden Lab since many more users would have more access (and I can log in anywhere that has internet connection without Downloading the viewer WOOT WOOT! :matte-motes-big-grin:) Most people when I reccomend any online game or VW tend to deny for the reason they don't want to the client because of paranoia of recieving a virus. Idk when they said they were planning on putting their plan in action but I remember him stating they were going to fix the current issues with SL before starting any more projects I believe.
  8. Thank you. Me and I'm positive that the majority of the FS users appriciate all the you guys have done or doing.
  9. No reason in particular, just looks very flawless to me and I would love my avi to wear one. Also, if you have any skins I might be interested in, I'll be glad to take a gander at them.
  10. I know, sorry I did IM him a while ago and said all his skins were created by him but aren't for sale unfortunately. You may be right about they highlighting though it probably all just photo magic oh well thanks though
  11. I can't really describe the style. It looks realistic but not too realistic the best example I have are the skins that Damien Fate uses in promoting or advertising his products. Sorry I can't be of much help >.<
  12. Just wandering since I avoided using FS because I thought it was a thing of its own. While it does run SL, I was wondering if LL benefits from users logging on using FS instead of the offical viewer. IDK i felt kinda gilty not helping and contributing the people who gaveme this virtual world. FS feels like a guilty pleasure... :matte-motes-mad:
  13. I see where your getting at and think its a cool idea...but not for all people. Idk the idea of someone stealing your possesions makes me uneasy and plus what if it's alot of currency and you go to LL saying that you lost (just and example) $200,000 and they tell you "WHOOPS its part of SL just avoid it". idk...but the other legal things i think its kinda funny and condoms and birthcontrol will have a real meaning in SL. I personally believe its for people who want to me SL literally a SL. I always thought of SL as being kinda like heaven. You know, a personal paradise where theres no (physical) pain and do what ever you wish. Again, not a bad idea, just something not many would agree to do.
  14. Thanks I'll look into them! :matte-motes-big-grin: Yeah its just that most of the hairs I see don't even come close to it and seem a bit much for me... :matte-motes-sour:
  15. Thank you all for the help! It seems I had to clear my cache...:matte-motes-bashful: Anyways the problem is solved!
  16. I searched through the marketplace and my results were hairs that were too short or too wild and basically not what Im looking for. Here's an example of the style I'm looking for: http://www.glamzzle.com/short-haircut-with-spiked-hair-just-from-front.html Hope that helps and thank you!
  17. Hey TeeCay! Yeah I had that same problem but with no luck (The ones that were "teen" were either way too young-looking or looked really crappy :matte-motes-impatient:) I think its just better to find a shape and slap a skin on it rather than looking for a full avi. One I'm fond of (shape that is) is Podpeople. Hopefully that helps :matte-motes-smile:
  18. Anyone if they can, please help. I logged in today and SL looks like a hot mess on my screen. I didn't do anything out of theordinary i don't think (i did uncheck http textures because I heard it can decrease lag but then i returned to normal afterwards since it did nothing on my laptop and nothing bad happened) I logged in twice yesterday (the same day I unchecked and rechecked the HTTP texture features) and no problems. I log in today however (3 times to see if it was fixed but nothing) and I see the screen is messed up. I would love to show you guys a picture but the file im trying to upload is a little too big. Im sorry. Thank you so much andplease if you can, help.
  19. Yeah I see it. How is it? From the reviews I read it seems buggy
  20. Where is this app? I looked through Itunes and found nothing :matte-motes-bored:
  21. Hello, I recently got a job as a waiter. My AO looks awesome! However i have a habit of double-clicking the "w" to run which makes my avatar do flips in the air. I don't want to distract my customers with my amazing flippng skills...(heheheheh :smileylol:) so is there a button i can press to temporarily keep my avatar from running while I work and once I'm done I can switch it back to normal? Thank you!
