    Well they could bulldozer any abbandoned house and slowly give them an updo...

    I guess. Bulldoze them and put in vast shopping malls and car parks too.  :D 

    It's possible that some would see the new homes appearing and want one, but the ones who have left this life - there will be some - won't.

    Should I just block

    Block is there as an option to use when you can't resist biting back, or if you just downright think the said person is an idiot. If you plan to use it, then use it without saying, saying you will/have blocked just increases drama.

    I think it's fair to say the vast majority of Linden Home owners today aren't even active in SL anymore.

    There will be a quite sizable chunk of people who can't log in, or don't log in much.

    There will be a few who forgot they are premium, and never notice the money coming from their accounts.

    There will be a few who paid yearly, and passed away.

    There might even be some who are prefectly happy in their current home. Hard to guess about people!

    I don't think that the old housing area will ever empty, and the Lab can't force them.

    When you have no idea what 'non-imposter avatars' are and assume everyone else is the same.

    I allow 12 of them into my SL world. They've never introduced themselves, as far as I know.

    Ever been in a club where people on the edges look like bits of paper and they start moving real slow, only doing 10% of the animation in huge jerks? That's an imposter.

    Imposters... jerk around a lot.

    - This one could also count for the AO one, but...unanimated Bento hands that are splayed out ( You look like someone left you hanging and you just aren't willing to give up till SOMEONE gives you a high-5 LOL) 

    To be fair, people who wear Belleza do see their hands posed properly. It's just that every one else sees them splayed out.

    go wash your mouth with soap!!!

    40 + 15 is certainly NOT close to 60!!!

    <3

    When one is 9 one looks forward to double digits. OMG 10! Woohoo. I am a big boy now!
    When one is 12, one counts half years "I am 12 and a half, almost 13!"
    When one is 16, well... all those things like driving unlock
    When one is 18, Finally alcohol (unless you are American)
    When one is 30, Ummm, what happened? All my friends got married.
    When one is 40, Nooo, take it back, I want to stay 39!
    When one is 50, Ouch, this damned well hurts
    When one is 60, Hmm, when did they start hiring children as policemen?
    When one is 70, Ha! You can't imagine what's coming yet
    When one is 80, Yay! Seniors discounts at the local all-you-can-eat restaurant.
    And so on.

    My Ruth Too RC3 is not transferable; so it could be Omega compatible. (You can get DAE's to upload and do what you want, but then it wouldn't be *my* Ruth.) I am already getting requests for the Omega skin applier, and I only released my Ruth Too RC3 2 weeks ago, (Nov. 28, 2018). Maybe I'll just do a skin only Omega applier that only uses the one layer.

    It would make sense to do an Omega for the body. I did one and it's not hard. The end user has a small cost  to buy the vendor you set up, but the process itself is very simple.

    We will likely see BOM before June 2019, so doing an onion skin might not be worth it.

    If any one using your body ask for tattoos advide they can apply the tattoo to a second body and wear 2 copies. This does work, I used the technique for ages. It's just manual onion-skinning :D

  8. If you are selling at 251 at this time there is a 7 to 8 hour delay.

    I normally count on 3 hours per million.

    You would need to sell at 252 to get it inside 10 minutes or so.

     

    The error message "transfer could not complete" is weirdly worded at best, I've noticed that when you sell at your linden balance isn't zeroed immediately. If you try to repeat it, you see that message.

  9. Ah well, if we are gunna pick on old songs based on one verse (hey what's in this drink), then even this song is really very dubious...

      I think it's a fair observation that many (most?) of the regular denizens in these forums are not only old-timers in SL years (like me) but also in their late 30s or beyond in RL (like me).  We no longer have statistics on the average age of SL residents, but I suspect that it's quite a bit higher than it was when I joined in 2007.

    Logically.

    If we started playing SL in 2006 when we were 18 or in our 20s we are now in our 30s. Most of the experienced residents will now be (well) over 30. People who were 40 when it started are now close to 60!

    Some new players will be young but as less and less people join the game, these younger people are rarer.

    The population has aged along with the game. We have seen a lot of our friends pass away through disease, accident, or old age - just like real life.

  11. All of what Skell said. Get a lot of demos from various places and starting from the included shape find the one that seems closest to you and work from there. Expect to spend half a day/a day on each. Pay attention to the HUD and included animations. Also make sure you can move both sides of the eyes, or you will end up looking weird.

    Importantly, don't just look from the front, look from the sides - at least one brand has huge inbuilt ducklips on some of their heads. If you don't like ducklips then it's good to see early on before you invest money, time, and effort.

    Skin also matters a lot, and of course, a new skin often means you need to make changes to the lips or eyes to rebalance the head.

    On skin, make sure that the one  you want is supported by the head, LeLutka skins won't go on Catwa. Some skins are Omega, but make sure that the head is Omega capable. (This will change in 3-6 months I guess as Bakes on Mesh is released by the Lab)

    Ask lots of questions in the groups for the heads, or here. And take your time.

  12. Just now, eepers said:

    My friend is letting me live on his parcel. I don't have to pay, but I'd like to do something to pay him back and I wondered if my "free" 1024 sqm could be used to lower the maintenance cost of his place, since that's how it would work if I wanted to personally own somewhere bigger than that.

    Really depends if the parcel is on a mainland or an estate region.

    If it's on an estate region, no, it won't help him.
    If it's on mainland ask if you can donate teir to his land group.
