END, no more com with you, thats my anger, silence with you. Oh, get a grip, Steph. No one needs to know you or your friends or family personally in order to come to the conclusion that you've recently gone off the deep end... attacking people without provocation, then getting all bent out of shape over either the ill-perceived or very real, though entirely warranted, negative replies you've gotten because of your own behavior. If you can't deal with it, then I suggest you stop dishing it out. ...Dres

I got into a text-only r/ship with a real man/male avatar on SL which was interesting to RP, mostly as an experiment to see whay people in SL get up to. Reading this, I must assume that this relationship was an SL only deal from the beginning. As long as you made that perfectly clear to this guy beforehand, you've done absolutely nothing wrong... morally or otherwise. I'm not surprised that some people are being highly judgmental toward you... claiming you've been deceptive and such. But the truth of the matter is that, once you make the distinction that SL is SL and RL is RL, it's simply none of the other person's business what gender you are in RL. If it mattered so much to this person that your real gender matched your avatar's gender, they should have made that clear from the start. In which case, they are the one to blame for not doing so and conducting themselves according to their own erroneous assumption. ...Dres

I will admit that I am particularly cynical about the future of Sansar owing in large part to the history of the company and my experiences with their decision making patterns. I may be a bit too cynical but .. it's where I stand. I fully understand your cynicism based upon LL's history and share many of your concerns in that regard. That's not the type of critique to which I was referring. It's certainly true they LL has left a lot of gray area concerning the development of Sansar and it's to be expected that people will try to paint those areas with their imaginations. What irks me is the propensity of some people to complain about a paint job which is based entirely upon their own or someone else's speculative prognostications. It's useless to worry about things that may never come to fruition. In fact, it's more than useless... it's actually detrimental to be spreading such unfounded negativity. ...Dres

Why, you simply follow the yellow brick road, my dear. ...Dres (But don't drink the emerald kool-aid [i hear it's actually antifreeze].)

Phil Deakins wrote: Freya Mokusei wrote: ... and has been good to see you posting here again. Thank you, Freya From a link in a new thread (about bots), I started to read an old thread that I started in 2012, and posts by regulars back then, who I haven't seen here this time around. It was nice to 'see' them. But this forum is weird for me. I stay away for a long time and then I think, 'I wonder if there's anything happening in GD', and before you know it, I'm back posting agian. It's not the first cycle like that that I've gone through. But the good old days of bot wars are long gone, so it'll never be the same lol. I miss those bot wars I'm sure you'll be able to find some sort of "war" in which to participate... you're rather good at it. ** ...Dres *loves watching you in action* ** That was meant as a compliment.

I know that your post wasn't addressed to me, but.... That's none of your business. Then why did you throw it into the thread in the first place. Your illness is everyone's business because you included it in the discussion. You can't bring up your disabilities, and then tell people it's none of their business, even asking why they mentioned it. Well, you can - you did - but it's very poor thinking on your part. Because you mentioned it yourself. Apart from asking an occasional technical question, I was away from the forum for a long time and I only came back into it very recently. I don't remember you from the past, Steph, but these days you do seem to make a negative impact around the forum. So much so that I'm tempted to wonder if it's intentional - like one or two other people I've known here. I don't know if you intend it, but you certainly achieve it. Just the other day, you managed to drive a brand new forum user away (imo), and I often see people post negative replies to you. I don't think it's intentional... I've never pegged Steph as some evil troll looking to purposely attack people. While she's always been rather opinionated, her lashing out at various individuals with bizarre commentary seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon. I have to imagine that she must be going through a rough patch at the moment, but as she said... what she may or may not be going through is really none of my business. Let's just hope that whatever the recent problem is, it passes quickly. ...Dres

I'm not the one that brought it up. ...Dres ETA: How I help others is not something I'd bring up in order to make myself look better or excuse my abhorrent behavior.

As if mentioning your supposed charitable contributions in the context of an online discussion is any more beneficial than the mentioning of your supposed physical disabilities. ...Dres

Perrie Juran wrote: steph Arnott wrote: So your answer is to have a childish pop at me and not anwer to OPs question for which i did? Very grown up. Nothng childish about Dres' response. In fact Dres is adult enough that when he makes a mistake he is capable of admitting it. Your response however sounds more like a child's temper tantrum. This is not the first time you've posted a reply to something you knew nothing about. That does not sound very adult to me either. I am curious, are you by any chance related to Pep? Thanks Perrie... I wasn't going to reply to her and begin some endless cycle of stupidity. ...Dres P.S. How dare you insult the ghost of Pep this way?

I find it both amusing and a bit frustrating how so many are so vociferously critical of Sansar, based mainly upon the cumulative speculation of what they believe it'll be like. Perhaps some of those speculations are entirely valid, but even so, I seriously doubt that what LL believes Sansar will be used for will end up being how it's actually used. They're creating a platform with an idea of how they want it to be used, but it's actually the future users of that platform who will decide how they wish to use it and who will ultimately drive its further development. Trying to predict its success or failure is, at this point, entirely pointless. ...Dres

It's after you post your first comment or question in the Forum. (I'm feeling too lazy to document but that's what it takes.) Though they don't tell you here (link) what exact criteria are required to move you from one rank to another, I know from experience that all it takes to move from "New Resident" to "Recognized Resident" is one post. Therefore, Perrie is correct... you have to post once before you can upload pictures. ...Dres P.S. Yes, "Recognized Resident" is not actually listed on that page, which must be wildly out of date. I believe it's somewhere between "New Resident" and "Resident".

My first question to you would have to be how big of a budget with which are you working? The space you'd need to have in order to do this in Second Life would probably come at a substantial expense. I concur with Tari's suggestion of Open Sim for all the reasons which she's mentioned, but mostly because of the cost. ...Dres
