    Sighs... just got a nice houseboat, but the neighbour wants a forest look...trees and meadows... just like the folks who get a parcel on a winter sim... and place palm trees.. why?

    There is no theme to regions anymore, people get a spot and place their mark. They don't opt for a specific region, just a parcel that is available, and poof, plop their stuff, regardless of area. This is putting me off from renewing my Premium, I'm done with going for a theme, but close folks want a different one! 

    Checking for my renewal date...

    Just giving up on the choices, especially as there is a Victorian that won't play fair.

    Fed up with repeats, as in ones I keep getting back, and what is worse, other people's alts who won't effing leave. I have changed houses, these people are still there. Banning them eventually... why should I have to? 

     

    Try not to get disheartened.  Lots of us here have gone thru many, many, many, did i say many?............different homes to find the gems that we have now.  Houseboats are probably the hardest one to get and to get a good location is even harder.  Don't give up cause people really do give up good locations for houseboats.  

    Derender is my friend and I use it on things I don't want to look at.  Once it is gone I forget about it.  But that is just me.

    We all here get frustrated trying to find a parcel that works for us and we also get the same parcels again and again.  I sometimes get them weeks later.  Just keep trying and don't give up.

    A New Look For Second Life

    I was kinda 'meh' about it, at first. But the longer I look at it, and having read ppl's comments, the more I dislike it. :( Like I said, it feels too 'Outlook (Express)' or Intel to me. It's simply, as Beth someone put it so well, too 'platform.' It doesn't say 'world', like it used to.

    And even the blue on the forum banner clashes with the meant-for-green-logo background image (which, by itself, could use an overhaul, btw; I see waay too many jaggies).

    It is okay if you don't like it.  Not everyone is going to and I think like Sylvia said for some,  it is sentimental.   And i think it is great that people are posting their thoughts on it.  Be it positive or negative.

     So far, a houseboat just hasn't worked for me. The site was off, the neighborhood was crowded, and the views just weren't pretty. Now way off in Pier Pressure, we lucked into a square mooring on the end of a tiny grouping of houseboats facing open water and a few boats across the bay. 

    I have found personally that the location of your houseboat really makes or breaks how you feel about them.  I am just speaking for me here.

    My first houseboat was in Ixa and I was so happy to get one, but it was inbetween others, very shallow under the boat so i really couldn't do the underwater garden the way I wanted and all the view was of other boats.  And it was square so even if i used the evening star or windlass the doors faced the other boats beside me, not the water.  So I abandoned it eventually and didn't even think about another one.  What changed my mind was during the Pearlcoast release I was trying to get a house there and clicked houseboat in error and ended up with a lovely long houseboat facing the water and it is a nice green area.  Made a big difference in how I felt about the parcel and how I decorated it.

    I have moved on since then to a nice green square houseboat on one of the cloned islands and it has become my number 1 favorite LH and this houseboat is the one I have had the longest out of all of them.    If i was only able to choose one parcel I would keep my houseboat and get rid of my TH & VH.

    I am glad you found a HB parcel you like :) .

    What can be done?

    I figured there was nothing that could be done if I can't get the owners to answer an IM but I thought I'd try the forums for additional insight if any. Thank you all, anyway.

    Maybe give you both a few days to cool off and then  send her a really nice IM or note card apologizing and ask if she will possibly consider taking you off the ban list.  You have nothing to lose at the end of the day.

    I wish it was that easy! It takes determination and a ton of patience to get parcels like that. You should see all the ones I did not keep; not that there was anything wrong with them, but it took many, many tries to get these!

    Have to agree with Sylvia.  It just takes time and patience like she said and bringing in a few alts doesn't hurt either.      I have also released water side parcels that people would call me nuts for releasing. 

    I will say that the best parcels that work for me I have gotten were ones that people abandoned.  I rarely get the parcels I want during new releases.

    I remember when the regions including Rocky Heights and Hammond Park were about to be released, because that's the first time I was eagerly awaiting release of a particular region. After reading so many posts in here about the area, I went to have an advance look, and of course I wanted a coastline home in Rocky Heights! I didn't get one, and pretty much forgot about the region as I moved on to other new releases.

    But look what popped up as my alt used her last click of the night just before midnight last night. Never give up on finding a home you will love, because amazing abandons show up on a regular basis if you just keep trying.

    Congrats on this one!  I am super jelly, front faces the water, nice rocks and hills in the back!  Hope you enjoy your find!

    Sorry for this - Should have announced it with more time ahead I guess.

    But I acted on the spur of the moment - was afraid I might miss to downgrade him ...

    That would have cost me 99 US$ :(

     

    You don't owe anyone any explanations.  It was nice that you even posted that you were releasing it at all.

    Legacy Mesh Body and Lelutka Bianca Head

    in Your Avatar

    I use this body, I do have the bianca head but haven't used it for awhile.  I find this neck seam skin color issue is with every body or head I use.  It is however much more obvious with the legacy body.  I usually wear a choker so that helps. You can also try changing your windlight settings, but that just helps with your view not everyone else.   Hopefully others will come along with other tips.

    I have the legacy and genus head and yes the neck seam is more obvious when wearing the legacy body.  However, I seem to have issues really with any body and head, but it is more obvious with the legacy.  I usually wear chokers anyways, so for me not too much of an issue for now.

    Forum is quiet lately.  Caught this little beauty last night and I am releasing this beach property at 9:00 am SL time:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pantelleria/62/129/24.  

    It is right on the water and the water view is from the back and it is all sand if that is what you want.  This definately is going to make someone happy!

    EDITED TO ADD:  gone in 4 seconds.

    I had this house once & got it again on my alt, not realising it had been released. I was standing in it about to abandon when a couple walked up & started talking to me. They had been after a Vic for awhile but weren’t seeing any on the land page. They thought the house was lovely & wanted to ask me how they could get one like it. Well, two minutes later I had a very excited couple as I talked them through the abandon/capture process & they got the house. It made my day seeing how happy they were. I left feeling all warm & fuzzy :)

    Thanks for sharing that!   Always love hearing these kinds of stories.
