[The real secret of Second Life]

This is a game?  YT classifies it as one in their category.  SL does have some gaming - think Greedy Greedy! 🤣

I meant to say acquired in my post --- but that was before 3 cups of joe!

Also when Linden Lab/Second Life came into being back in 1944, there wasn't all the regulations on the web like we do now.  The old wild west of the WWW is long gone.

I reread it on the acquired thing.  I forgot forum rules prohibit replying to messages unless one had 3 cups of coffee in them first!

[Thunes to acquire payments platform Tilia LLC]

Chatting with one of my relatives who works in the digital business is familiar with Thunes and she said it's good they're teaming  up which is needed in this day and age to survive --- especially with financial micro-transactions across many platforms.

[Forum Banned Word List]

On an amateur radio board I'm on --- we have a banned word list posted in the Moderator room.  Some of the words are in the mboard's blacklist thing where the words get replaced by *****, and others are handled on a case by case basis.  Although unlike this board which belongs to the Lab, ours doesn't not belong to a corporation.

[BONUS item goes against TOS?]

The bonus could be a gift card --- so the person buying it can use it for any item of their choice.

Earth, wind, fire, water - and later the aether - are the classic elements.

And modern science elements:

103 regions 😁, if regions 114-118 those regions would only exist like for less than a second! 🤔

Hope the Lindens won't throw up a pop-quiz in the morning when we log in!

[New last names spring 2024.]

There's probably some back stories on how names are picked.

[April 1st]

Would've been funny if we saw this... "10 lucky residents will become Linden staff and will get a long list of items to take care of in world. The list is contained in the 1069 full notecards we sent you. Thank you." haha

One word.............Surrogates.....nuff said

I remember that movie a few years back --- People living via surrogates until the main computer got shut down.

I also trust anything from Musk as far I can toss a steamship.

[Silly Ideas to Fix Second Life]

Add capability to run SL on a Game Boy.

Use proper duct tape for repairs to hold the place together.

The Linden person who told me about SL says they already do that! 🤣

Oops, I just let out a Lab trade secret!

[Silly Ideas to Fix Second Life]

Add "Banlines" to the new list of last names!

[Is PIOF essentially "Age Verification"?]

 Sl did have verification back then. Other places I had to use my social media but as others had to use cards and Id with it just how it was.

I had a few sites ask for social media --- but I moved since I don't do any of those. Twitch and mboards is as close I get to socials.

[Gacha's at The Arcade Event?]

Blind random prize variation is no longer allowed.  Now it’s basically a vending machine with just one slot of candy available to you.  That chocolate bar you crave might happen to be in front and first for sale.  But usually it’s 3,5,7 or more deep behind breath mints & gum.  Or maybe not even visible.  So you might feed the machine hoping the flavor you want eventually comes up.  With the hud you won’t get sniped by a fellow shopper watching the same machine for X prize.  So mechanically the same but method of operation is different.  & as mentioned- many creators just put the entire set out as a fat pack at one price.

Thanks for explaining that!

[Official Statement from Oberwolf Linden]

I think Brad posted his comment at the advice of the Lab's legal team to cover their you know what. This probably happens in other businesses too.

[Gacha's at The Arcade Event?]

Thought those Gachas were a thing of SL's past.

[Reporting spam]

I gotten spam like that eons ago.  I simply ARed the sender.

[Microsoft Mesh's Meta Moment?]

Let's face it!  Microsoft Teams and Meta Horizon doesn't have a leg (or 2) to stand on!

We are all going to like different things. Need different things with our look. Not everyone is going to agree and that is completely okay.

I was told from a friend in world that a lot of shops have dropped the older Lara for the X. She mentioned X makes the toon look like a Kardashian and will stick to the classic Lara.

[Why did you leave IMVU for Secondlife?]

I tried the "other place" for 10 minutes and left.  No regrets.  SL's far better.

[What would LL do if Amazon ever baned ALL adult content from its servers?]

And yet you can't do Twitch stuff from SL --- although many performers will put the game in a corner of their video or a background. Kick dot come allows SL though last time I checked.

[What new name would you give Second Life?]

Crash and Burn 2.0.  Since the SL clients like to close to desktop or freeze now and then!
