I do message people and I do get a response sometimes. Not always but sometimes. I do think some are AFK. Because I have talked with people that do Real Life things around their house while leaving their avatar sitting there. That's what they tell me when they come back from AFK.

I agree with you. Second Life just doesn't seem like it used to be when I started Second Life. I mean you add people to your friends list and then you message them the next day asking if they want to hang out, they either don't respond or they say they are busy. Not always but a lot of the times. I know when I started Second Life and added friends on my friends list. I would have messages when I logged in and asking me if I wanted to hang out. Now it just seems it's not like that anymore in Second Life. I mean you do once in a while hang out with someone. But not like it was.

Do you think there is less people in Second life, then before?

Well, for one a lot of old avatars are coming back I been seeing in Second Life. So that should help to make the socializing come back. I heard there were less people in Second Life now.

I agree with you. But I know the socializing will come back some day to Second Life how it used to be. I do think it's coming back slowly.

Well, there are some people that are less social in Second Life. I understand that some people will be. But for me I am not, and I am very sociable person. That's why it can be frustrating sometimes when people say they are busy or don't respond to you. Second Life used to be where you log in and you get messages from your friends list wanting to hang out and do something with you. But it just seems like it's not like that anymore in Second Life

That is true a lot of people afk a lot. But I just think the socializing is not in Second Life like it used to be. I am hoping that one day it will come back

I agree with you people getting set in their ways. Oh, I do try to message people, but they are busy half the time. Not all but a lot of people on my friends list are or they don't respond. Sometimes they do but not all of them. Or when I add someone as a friend we talk even after adding. Then the next day you try to message them they either are busy, or they do not respond to you at all. Like I said I am not saying everyone is like that, but it just seems a lot of people are like that now. Like back when I started Second Life you message someone on your friends list, and they respond and if you ask Did you want to hang out, they would say yes and you go hang out with them. Plus, you would get other people messaging you asking you to hang out with them. Now it's like no one wants to hang out with anyone like that anymore in Second Life. I mean people hang out together but not like how it was back then.

lol. Yeah, true lol

Yes, I agree. But do you think the socializing will come back like it was back in the day of Second Life?

Yes, I remember those days. Now it's like everyone doesn't even want to hang out any more like back in the day of Second Life. Do you think it is because there are less people in Second Life and that's why the socializing isn't there like it used to be?

Oh, I agree with you on that. But then why be added on a friends list if you don't want to hang out then or your too busy to hang out?

I Agee with you that long term people tend get settled within their own groups of friends. But I am very sociable and I am always looking to hang out with people. And it just gets frustrating sometimes when people don't want to hang out like they use to like it was back in the day. I mean you could log in Second Life back in the day and get messages from people on your friends list. Now it's like maybe you might get one message from someone or a few and that's about it. Or no one messages you at all when you log in. But before you would get messages and hang out with people. I do believe it will come back to Second Life like it used to be

Yes, I agree. But you can still find some people that want to hang out like back in the day what Second Life was back then. I can sometimes find some people to hang out with. Not like it was though. Like I said on here before. Like back in the day, you would be hanging out with some people then all of a sudden you get messages from others on your friends list asking you to hang out with them as well. And it's like what happen to that part of Second Life? Oh, sure you can still find people to hang out with but not like it was. But I do believe the people in Second Life will be socializing again. Like it was

Well, I know when I first started Second Life people seem more sociable than they are now. And I do message people to start a conversation up. And then ask if they would like to be friends after a while in a conversation. Then we add each other. And the next day you try to message them they either won't respond to you, or they say they are busy. I am not saying everyone is like that. But you do have some people that are and won't respond to you at all. Or are busy all the time. Like when I first started Second Life you had people messaging you and wanted to see if you wanted to hang out while you're hanging out with others. Now it just seems everyone doesn't want to do that as much in Second Life anymore. But I know it will come back the socializing like it used to be in Second Life.

I do agree with you stating, “It’s what we make it”. It’s my opinion second life is as good as we make it. Although there may be some bad apples in the bunch, does not mean eating that apple pie is going to be a bad experience.

Well for me I need to be around people. I mean true you can be around items you have but then you can't socialize with anyone. I do hope how Second Life use to be for socializing comes back. And I do believe it's coming back slowly

The thing is some people that are toxic don't want to change anything about themselves. Some people want to stay toxic in Second Life and it is sad that they are like that. But then there are some people that are not toxic in Second Life.

I agree with what you're saying here. But to unmute all the people you had muted. I am not too sure on that. Because for me I still see some of the people I have muted at places I go and visit sometimes. Even though I have no idea why they were muted in the first place when I don't have any chat history on the one's I have muted when I see them. Some I do have chat history.

Oh, I do put them on mute if they are really mean

I agree.

I know some people can be really mean to this day in Second Life. I know it isn't right for anyone to treat anyone bad in Second Life. But people do and it is sad when they do that. I mean yeah, I can go to different sims and explore there. But what if I like the sim I am on and I like talking with people there?

Oh wow. That's cool

Yeah, some people in Second Life can be mean.
