[tried several things... I can't figure out how you block people...]

Not sure if it's just me, but when I logged in each day, my block list was empty. I would have to re-block every day.

You can right click their avatar and select block. Or if they are within distance in chat, right click their name in the chat window & block voice (which will remove the avatar, particles, & sound) or block text (removes chat) if that helps.

[Is SL's Player Base Declining?]

I have stood around social island 8 for the past year and a half learning more about scripting and creating things in blender. No point to explore the world (My first alt in 15 years) when I was doing something productive with my time.

I don't own land anymore.. so why move? I use to help new people that was joining the game till I was targeted and harassed daily with no help from the ones I shall not mention.

With that being said, new people are joining the game all the time. I do not see a decline in population.

[What are you doing today!? :D]

I'm not being harassed at the same time saving money by not playing Second Life. Self-Ban What a concept!

Thank You @Fionalein Here is one of my favorite poems, called IF-

 

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too.

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being Lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

 

If you can make a heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

 

~ Rudyard Kipling (circa 1895)

I'm sorry.. This post was originally created under My Avatar.. but was moved. I have been banned from Second Life. It's more of a farewell. But.. In my time of trouble & sorrow, I would like to thank the community for making me smile. Thank You! And those are lovely trees! I haven't made up my mind yet what I will do concerning the game. I would speak on the matter, but I must be careful now what I speak about, because eyes are watching me! Again.. Thank You! 😢

Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,

long years numberless as the wings of trees!

The years have passed like swift draughts

of the sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the West,

beneath the blue vaults of Varda

wherein the stars tremble in the song of her voice, holy and queenly.

Who now shall refill the cup for me?

For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars,

from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds,

and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;

and out of a grey country darkness lies on the foaming waves between us,

and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.

Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar!

Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar.

Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell!
