  1. 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! 🤣

    Multi Effing Annoying.

     

    The CLUE is in the name.

    I posted an example earlier, people laughed, I suspect some thought "hahaha funny hyperbole".

    They were wrong, it's the ACTUAL: Multi Effiing Annoying system used by MY bank.

    That's a real damn MFA implementation. And people wonder why I loathe MFA.

    I had to change my bank due to their MFA and their machines going totally cardless.  Don't have a smart phone and don't want one and the banks system was only compatible with Samsung and Apple phones only.

    I've noticed lately that all Pokemon and Star Wars content has disappeared from the MP. When will Star Trek be purged too? I don't know what Linden Labs are hoping to achieve by simply purging away all the ***** people are into, but in the long run they're going to hurt themselves and their platform by doing so. 

    Disney is a BIG outfit and they could buy the Lab with some loose change they have.

    As for the US Marines --- in our a pub we have a board with some pictures of people that served in both the US and Canadian military's and Marines always had a certain rule way the pictures were displayed.

    A friend who's still in world cosplays as Wonder Woman, but she told me the costumes avoid using the Wonder Woman brand --- they have some oddball names instead.

  4. I hate fake shadows on items and anything I had I did like someone else mentioned --- move the item low enough to hide it,  But you need even pavement.  I have lodged PMs to a couple of devs and one gave me a non-shadow version, other got nasty with me and told me where to go.  I ARed that person.

    Some items that are mod you can removed the shadow.

  5. I've been told or seen posted on BBSs in the old days that there are not girls on the BBSs or internet.  As for the avatars, some clothes designers will have both male and female toons to design their clothes on.

    In many MMOs I've been told by my nephews that many guys rather stare at female toons instead of the male ones.  One game (Forknife) I know of will assign various male and female toons if you don't have a custom skin.

    Could LL do something like the Zwift app? The avatars in Zwift remind me of SL. It's a fun app for exercising. When someone passes you, you get a message that says try to catch them. So you pedal harder on your stationary bike and you pass them, and then they pass you, and you pass them again, and the next thing you know you're exhausted and out of breath and got a really good work out. The Zwift app costs $15.99 per month. That's more than the $11.99 SL charges for premium monthly.

    This is a typical Zwift avatar:

    At least Zwift toons have legs!  Much like SL!

    *no, not this Lab, a real one, the kind with stuff that can go boom

    Sometimes an update to SL will make things go boom!  The people start posting on the mboard "Lab updated something and my whatever scripts exploded!"

  8. I wish you well on getting better and beating those medical issues.  I have a few myself and long ago I took a step back from SL.  Also stepped back due to too many RL things needing more attention.  I'm still a mboard junky though.

  9. I remember on my former venue's alt (for posting events inworld) was set to an old location.  When I logged her in to do something after 304 years --- she was in someone's home and the security orb kept trying to teleport her home.  But since the toon's "home" was that former land the orb got in a loop trying to send her off until I sent the alt to an ocean region.

    I PMed the "new" landowner explaining the above in case she was wondering why the orb went ape-something repeating the eject function over and over.  Got a PM back that they had a good laugh about it.  This was a few years ago and we friended each other. Weird way to meet! 🤣

    Do bets close when the thread is locked? If not, there are plenty of old threads that can still be resurrected. 

    I'm surprised this board is not set up to auto-close threads after a certain time.  The amateur radio board I help Mod on has a 6 month auto-lock for any thread not touched in that amount of time.  I think recently there was a 10+ year old thread that got bought back alive and a Mole came in and slapped a lock on it and told whoever necroposted to make a fresh one.

    It would certainly be on-topic for a thread about SL supermarkets or reproductions of First Life stores,  but I struggle to see how it would be on topic for a thread about Have the forums changed?

    It's too bad the higher ups can't loosen things a tad or 2. But this is the Lab's mboard and they can run it as they see fit.
