[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!

They started a social casino this year, maybe a social bordello next year?

Guess that shoots all chances of having SL ever being allowed on Twitch!

[Limit Post Lengths]

The forum platform (Invision) does have the capabilities built in. On a amateur radio board I used to Mod on, one of the categories had that engaged since it was meant to put only your amateur call sign in. The function can be area specific or the whole forum.

They are testing it on Android too but it requires Android 13 which i think is the latest, which would completely rule out my comparatively ancient phone running Nougat 

Still waiting for version to test on my ancient flip-phone!

["Experience profile" TP systems - Anyone else not keen?]

I avoid places if they ask for Experience permissions.  But reading the thread it looks like it derailed now.

[Facebook saves]

Nobody under fifty uses Facebook unless forced by a boomer. Your point stands for TicTok, though.

@sooby Mills, you're not Canadian by any chance, nor Australian? Meta takes a dim view of the Commonwealth, lest you be a journalist in disguise.

Dump Fakebook today for a better tomorrow!

The Lab should do their own social.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

I remember leaving a 3 star review for an item AFTER I PMed the merchant of the issue.  It went ignored --- but as soon the review hit she PMed me to remove it or she lodge a AR against me. I never removed the 3 star due to the threat and found a month later the merchant was gone.

[What Would You Like to Remove From Second Life Permanently?]

Certain "light" shows and other flashing stuff that fills the screen that induce seizures. Some use a type of flashing lights that can't be turned off using the particles slider.

Also add talking tummies and prim babies that scream.  I used to log in world to get away from that crap.

And those laggy-*** Lindo campers and HUDS that slows the region real bad.

[what is this Secondlive viewer]

Someone I know in SL saw that too.  She simply ARed the avatar that posted it.

That one reminds me of a warrior toon on a MMO game.

SL Pet Peeve #945:  This mboard shooting server errors once in a blue moon.

RL Pet Peeve #945: My own mboard shooting server errors once in a blue moon.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

SL Pet Peeve #18: Clothes in world that no one would dare wear in RL. Hard to find a decent outfit when most you find are best for dancing on a stripper pole.

RL Pet Peeve #18: Like SL, hard to find decent outfits or dresses --- especially for an older woman.

Peeve: When you ask Alexa to add "Griller Patties" to your shopping list (which you add all the time), and she adds "Dill Panties".

Just as a test, I looked on Amazon for "Dill Panties" and of course, it's a thing.

Peeved. 

Why one of those spy devices will never be in my house.  My daughter had one --- but my hubs kept asking to make fart noises and she finally tossed it in the rubbish!

SL Pet Peeve #8: Bleeping, blipping virtual mobile devices in world.  Bad enough we have to deal with in RL. 

RL Pet Peeve #8: Bleeping, blipping mobile phones. Especially when the user does a very stupid thing.  Example is in our RL bar and one person actually went up to the stage where a band was playing ans asked them to pause so he could make his call.  The singer added a line added a line "I know it is fall --- but go outside to make the call!"  The entitled person got mad and started yelling before one of the barkeeps 86ed him out of the place.

[What do I do with my Maitreya Lara body without a head?]

I wish they'd toss in a head ---- but those must be a complicated piece of engineering!

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

SL Pet Peeve #2: Virtual crying babies. Don't we go in world to get away from that. I'd like to send the maker of those crying babies on a long walk off a short pier.

RL Pet Peeve #2: Crying babies in public place.  The main peeve is when the parents don't do anything to quiet the thing and let it "cry it out" sometimes for a long time.  I have one child long ago --- but I always took care of her when she cried and removed her from any situation where it might bother others.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Pet Peeve #2204 SL: Griefers that raise havoc with things. Was bad in the olden days.

Pet Peeve #2204 RL: RL idiots (aka Griefers) that do stupid things for Ticktok views like side shows (cars that drives high speed in a circle in an intersection) or tossing bricks off bridges onto cars and video taping the bricks/rocks smashing the windshields.

[​😁​ What is the funniest thing you have seen in Second Life?]

Long ago in the early, early days when I managed a club  I logged in early to do some decorating and was a Linden standing there with his voice on.  I PMed him hoping the "ding-ding" would alert him but he sat there for a bit. I turned off voice and about 10 minutes later he woke up and PMed me back saying "I'm so sorry - LL is working me hard and I was checking regions running the newest server code and I nodded.  Have a nice day!"  We chatted in PMs for a few minutes and shortly after he warped out.

The club's visitor tracker indicated he was there for about 3 hours --- probably grabbing a "quick" snooze! 🤣
