Is SL even advertising anywhere these days? VR head sets seem obstacle as they look clunky right now. I believe when they are sized down to like wearing glasses, then that part of the metaverse will really take off. Roblox has many times the daily users that SL ever has, but appears to appeal to younger folks. I'm 73 and and was born in SL 9/15/2005. I left in 2010 when my SL partner and I married in RL. over the last few month I have come back, my SL friend's list are mostly absent and not logged on in years. I'm learning how to build but the social aspect is difficult to re-establish. Thanks for reading more random thoughts. John

"how bad is it that so many existing players don't want to bring people close to them in?" I had to think about the above statement quite a bit before answering. I think many came to SL to escape RL as it is. We discovered we could live out a fantasy that we might not want people close to us enough to know about. That can range from being an adult with a 'cartoon character', relationships (RL & SL) etc. So why would a RL person like to come into SL these days?

What Can The Metaverse Learn From Second Life Rosedale: It's interesting to note that Second Life is, in my opinion, still the largest and the closest thing to a metaverse that we have as it relates to grown-ups. Good article and agree with the above statement. My question is how does Linden Labs and residents get the word out that SL is still alive and vibrant? It seems SL has a good message and is just hanging back. With all the hype with Roblox, etc., how do get the word out? John

Thanks all!!

Thank you.

A friend helped me buy the free Basic Bento Mocap. He said sometimes my old avatar did not show up well for others. To my avatar looks the same, but the HUD has some fun settings. Question, if I buy for example, Absolute Dandy's Bento AO, does that change my avatar appearance? If not, am I just purchasing more animations? Trying to keeps up, thanks!! John445

Hello, is there a method to have the chat window stay open longer and have it add more lines of text? Thanks, John445

Thank you all, helps alot.

Thanks all, Rowan I will go through the tutorials.

Thanks Maitimo, more advice if you could.....I tried a demo head and then took it off and have no head. Then I got the demo head back (better than headless). Is my old head in inventory?

1. When moving to a mesh head and body, is the current avatar gone or still retrievable? 2. Can old, non-mesh clothing be used on a mesh avatar? Thanks, John445 Bachman

Sorry is this has been asked, is there is listing of scripts in reverse order, i.e. Text used to label the sit action in the pie menu: llSetSitText?

Might be a silly question, but when saving a build, do you attach the prims under one name? Thanks for answers above!

I am leaning building in SL. I want to create a house and will be building in a sandbox. How can I save a build to inventory and then put it back out another time? Do builders leave their builds out somewhere while building? After saving a build, rezzing it again, adding to it, how to save the newest iteration? Thanks, John445 Bachman

Thank you!
