This is an alt. omg omg omg omg!!

Clouds in my photo were rendered by that viewer. No one can see them but me. Developer Beauchamp really had an imagination and desire to do something, anything, that LL refused to do. The clouds you've shown are what we could see in a perfectly run SL, along w your water photos. Oh well. I'm not at all shocked about lab decisions anymore.

See my above post on the cloud issue workaround. The things you mentioned would've been awesome. Scroll down for downloads: http://sldev.free.fr/

Speaking of real clouds, the Cool VL Viewer will render a cloud deck for VFR on top, or simulated IFR approaches using the HSI HUD which, when set to the proper mode, will indeed give horizontal and vertical guidance to the runway like an ILS. That viewer still works if you want to use it for that. It actually looks better than the photo because I had my draw distance a bit low. Lower the vis by adding fog and you'll be in deep.

Yes I know all about surfer prim waves, but that's not what I'm after. Is it possible for SL water - all of it - to have swells,waves,and chop (not surfer waves) for realism in sailing? I know another platform that does so I would think it possible. If it's not possible for whatever reason I suppose this will be a short thread LOL.

The Lindens, as usual, created the problem in the first place by removing last names and switching to "resident." Nothing worse than regressionary changes for the sake of change just to make some upper level manager think you're "doing" something. /rant

Cool VL viewer can create a cloud deck which you can fly through and above, making ILS approaches with the HSI HUD quite interesting for the pilots among us/

The best mentors are those people who help out of kindness and not out of some sort of "status" by being selected by the Lindens. THAT is paying it forward, not what they've got planned.

Sailing vessels in order of purchase: Oceanic, Bandit 60.

One of SL's classic places that should've been preserved even if the Lindens had to pay for it and write off the expense.

Always sad when good places disappear. Of my favourites above, it appears only the owner of Midnight Reflections is still in SL with a lovely homestead classic cuddle sim with dance posts, much like Ode/

Well. With a bit of research, it seems I answered my own question about the places I listed. http://www.slentre.com/second-life-traffic-report-midnight-relfections-melts-hearts-in-may/

Mine are Midnight Reflections, Sleek Beach, Lesbian Paradise which was a hoot, Bora Bora (several sims of desolate lovely beach.) What are some of yours that you miss? Does anyone know who built these lovely places and if they're still in SL? They were all high traffic when they went away so I know it wasn't that. Thanks for your contributions and participation. This is part of SL History and I think it's important and interesting to know the stories behind the scenes. Cheers! Memories and artistic genius:

I remember when it was standing room only 24/7 - like the RL Temple Bar after which it was modelled. Now I see single digits at any given time. Is there a story behind this decline I'm missing? I will say one thing. I'm a bit shocked they still haven't got decent bar stools with decent poses after all these years.

What's the story behind the decline of Blarney Stone? It's been empty for years when it was once standing room only 24/7. I went today and the place had been turned into a freebie shop. Did it finally give up the ghost?

SL Destinations: Midnight Reflections, Sleek Beach, LP, Bora Bora, flexi hairs and dresses.

Too many DJs spin at 256kbps which uses more bandwidth and those with slower computers can't hear the music or it cuts out. The human ear can not tell the difference between 256 and 128kbps. DJs should never spin at more than 128. It used to be a rule in a club I worked at and I never spin higher.

All I can say is it's about time!!!!! But I still see them snuck onto the MP by being obfuscated so someone isn't doing a very good job of banning.

To answer the topic question, "not anymore."

Post of the year but I think you meant to say it was social before the farcebook generation..... Classic spots like Midnight Reflections, LP (crowds 24/7 and always a hoot), Bora Bora, Sleek beach, all poofed round the same time and for the same reason - along with 5000 other private estates and the people who owned them almost overnight - which I shouldn't have to say. Remember the coffin campaign? LL doomed their own platform with awful corporate decisions, too many to mention since most are common knowledge. Now, almost everyplace is empty. Yeah, "it's dead Jim" as far as a social platform compared to what it once was. Advertising the epic fail of Sansara as "SL2" was the final nail. That was merely an attempt to copy the failed Blue Mars complete with "special" creators and no physics. Anyone else notice the lack of variety on MP compared to the pre-mesh days? Not that mesh is bad, but SL lost heaps of creators and thus the variety and imagination of those creators who chose not to learn the new fashion tech. I've never seen so many ugly patterns and textures as I do now. /rant over

The point of all this is that it's a crude attempt and correcting a stoopid mistake by the LIndens getting rid of legacy names to begin with!!!!! It dehumanised - so to speak - SL. Just plain dumb. And now they're trying to make money on their mistake. More poor decisions - that's the history of Linden Lab.

Are you a linden alt?

NONE. Both get banned.
