    Can you honestly see us leaving though?

    I'm sure they would be GLAD to let us leave... If we took that "Trident" stuff off the warehouse shelves and tested it on a suitably disposable target, such as...

    Paris...

    But enough with the derail... Back to the topic... 

    Maybe we could test Trident on that Mandatory Super-MegaLag-InfoHub thing of Bree's to show her that our response to her suggestion is more than...

    It's amazing how open to suggestions one can become after drinking lots of eggnog.

    Are you confessing to spiking the staff eggnog with illegal, experimental "CIA brainwashing Test Camp" drugs?

    I have to ask as your a fellow member of the kingdom of Brexit.

    Heh, I've spent more than 4 decades denouncing the fact that traitors in my country pledged our servitude to the Franco-German Euro-Federalist Empire, and eagerly look forward to the failure of Brexit negotiations, and the inevitable open warfare in which we will meet the Euro-Federalist Anti-Britishness squads on the beaches with heavy machinegun emplacements!

    There's a great opportunity for LL to create a super simple 3D modeling program based on Blender's code and have direct upload to SL and Sansar, plus export standard 3D formats. Like what Sketchup was before Google bought it

    I've spent more than 2 decades listening to clueless tech-illiterate buttholes saying that 3D modeling should be EASY, and claiming that "surely they can make it easy for us clueless tech-illiterate buttholes because FUTURENESS!"

    You mention Gurgle Screwup... That is exactly the sort of 3D app the world does not need.

    Years ago, I was invited to join a games modding team, and like a bloody idiot I said yes...

    There were TWO actual games modders, my self and the official team leader, and 18 wastes of human skin, 17 worthless zero skills quasi-illiterate millennial RP trash, and the unofficial team leader, who was a "self taught 3D modeler" with TWO WHOLE MONTHS of experience in... Gurgle Screwup.

    This dingbat would crank out a 60,000 poly mesh in two hours in Screwup using only the extrude tool...

    Then he'd send it to us, and constantly whine about how it was taking us too long to convert his latest "masterpiece" into a usable game asset.

    Typically, each of his "2 Hour Meshes" needed more than TWENTY hours of file format conversion, dismantling, sectioning into material zones, uv mapping, reassembling, rigging, hardpointing, and basic texturing, and then xml scripting to make it into something you could actually test in the game, all done by people who had spent YEARS learning how to do these things.

    One of the biggest problems with SL's current content, is that a lot of it was made by peole who THINK 3D should be or worse, already IS "easy" and that all you have to do is pick a name, suggest a basic design and then click the "make 3d digital art and upload to the SL MP" button in Blunder-3D.

    If it's done right, it could become the gateway program for getting into 3D creations.

    Yeah heard that crap for more than 20 years too, install the FREE 30 day demo of "Crap-3D" on the cover disk ofthis months edition of "Digital Artist Wannabe" magazine and then folliw the EASY 4 page center spread tutorial with the FREE assets included on the disc, and YOU TOO CAN BE A LEAD 3D MODELER AT PIXAR!

    But LL has fundings, they could fund some Blender.org folks to carry out the project

    No they couldn't... They need ALL their funding to pay the staff, provide shareholder dividends, and prop up the obsolete before it's finished, Vom-Cam based, white elephant money pit failure that is Project Stupid.

    Anyways, just throwing ideas out there, hopefully LL is listening

    So far the main ideas thrown out on this thread have been...

    A Moron Friendly EASY-3D "Make digital Art" button in the viewer.

    A MANDATORY "Walk of Laggy Hate" through a SUPER-InfoHub lag pit everytime you log in to drive everyone not called "Bree" off the grid.

    A return to the 2003 edition of Noob Island!

    A prim tax for people not called "Greek"...

    ...

    These ideas really do need to be thrown out...

    Seriously, I really hope LL are NOT listening... They come up with enough bloody awful anti-ideas all by themselves without help like this thread.

    The avatar must look like a gladiator but also like as a trained soldier.

    Kind of a contradiction in terms really...

    Roman soldiers tended to be lean, forced marches, poor rations, low wages etc.

    Roman Gladiators tended, by modern standards, to be slightly fat...

    Their diet was deliberately chosen to produce a generous layer of body fat over their muscles, as this was thought to slow bleeding from minor wounds and thus prolong the "entertainment" of the gladiatorial match...

    Run a hardware check on your RAM...

    If some of the RAM has failed, and the OS has thus, as a "safety feature" reduced the amount available to the viewer, that could easily tank your FPS, amongst other things.

    In that short walk you'll be reminded that there are people,  a lot of people, in SL doing things that you're not doing and maybe they don't want to rub shoulders with you either but at least the sense of community will be felt.

    The only "sense of community" you'd ever get from something like that is...

    "The Committee of Right Thinking Concerned Citizens into Activity A, for the Banning of un-citizens into Activity B who strut though the Nexus like they are real People entitled to Rights!"

    A whole bunch of unpleasant protest groups, plotting and scheming to try and get all the other groups banned from the Nexus and SL.

    For some people, a challenging user experience is a positive, but this seems at odds with SL's inclusive "your world, your imagination" tagline

    A large percentage of the current generation of "online gamers who might try Sl" do not in fact, appear to HAVE any "imagination", which is probably why they don't stay...

    Nobody is telling them what the "Background Lore for this RP" is with a cool FMV intro, there's no briefings, no missions, no assigned role, they have to "imagine" stuff for themselves, and they can't.

    So they sod off again to play "Italian Plumbers vs the Croco-turtles of Doom Episode 27" on their SonTendSoft PlayCubeOne, while screaming "Yeah, mama mia, I R Leet Combat Plumber from Mama Italy... Mom? Can I order takeout pizza please? I'm roleplaying being Italian today and need Italian food!"

    For what its worth I meet quite a few genuine newbies but then I go out of my way to say hi if I see someone with merely days on their age on radar and try and help. Several of those I have greeted are still around in sl, some leave. From my small sample retention rate seems about 20% which is higher than most claim. Maybe someone experienced willing to spend an hour or so teaching them a few basics helps....just a thought

    You're right... Mentoring can help a lot, I can second your experience...

    But...

    Mentoring programs in SL, like RL have always failed...

    And for the same reasons, SL as RL.

    The problem is MOST volunteers for "mentoring programs" are only interested in being a "mentor" if they get a badge to wear, they crave the social kudos of being OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL Mentors (tm). Mostly they are middle class social worker wannabes, who's determination to "help those poor people" evaporates when it gets annoying or messy.

    I remember a member of the failed and discredited "Adult Grid Mentors", let's call her...

    Jerkabell Dugout, who "used to be a Duchess at the famous Thelvet Vorn FemDom Sim", as she liked to remind people about 20 times a day.

    She was very proud of being a volunteer Mentor, and "helping poor noobs", but, realistically, she only helped about 1 in 40 of those she saw.

    Being FemDomme, she tended to ignore female avatars unless they were very noticable out of the ordinary and possibly domme or switch, so unless you'd already helped your self to the point where Jerkabell's friends accused you of being a "filthy alt" on day 1, she wouldn't take any notice of you.

    And as for male avatars, any that looked like "masta-wannabes" she ignored, and general noob guys, ignored, it was only a small percentage that caught her eye, some noticable effort to improve your avi on day 1, like getting an AO, or finding a free "non PG with painted underwear" skin, etc.

    Now, once she'd found a sub guy noob with enough brains to shop the MP for freebies BEFORE logging in for the first time, and smart enough to figure how to unpack, and dress...

    Well then she'd LEAP into Mentoring Action, and take them away for 2-4 hours of intense mentoring/power shopping, even contributing a few L$ (under 50 say" for certain essentials, before sending them off to visit "Thelvet Vorn FemDom, where she USED to be a Duchess!"

    ...

    Jerkabell wasn't the ONLY "Adult Grid Mentor" I've met, another was...

    Pestos Craptos... A 2nd wave lastnamer Mentor, who was so bloody dim, that I once had to tp halfway across the Feedumb Incontinent's 20 sim island to help him get out of a house he was showing to a prospective tenant, because the prim door was locked, and despite 5 years plus in SL, the dumb sod didn't understand how to cam past the door and double click tp on the prim sidewalk outside...

    Mentors...

    Me? I've had my share of Padawan in SL, but not because I've been part of any "program".

    I bump into somebody new who reminds me of me... 

    And I take them as a Padawan Learner, and teach them useful stuff, like advanced object editing, some basic scripting, how to read the unwritten in peoples profiles, dealing with entitled macho asshats, etc., so when I'm gone there will still be others like me, with the same skills, and similar attitudes, in SL.

    ...

    Mentoring can work...

    Mentoring Programs do not...

    My point? SL needs to bring back that sense of community.

    So YOU think a "community" is being forced to socialise with people you hate, loathe or despise. Hang out with people you have nothing in common with and don't want to have anything in common with...

    Force all the Lesbians to stay in "Rapist Thug Alley Urban RP" sims, perhaps?

    Send all the Medievalists to CyberGeek SciFi - the Sim for bionic augmentation...

    Oh hell no...

    I'll tell you plainly, forcing people to hang out with groups they can't abide will certainly drive people away, not encourage them to stay.

    Stop trying to remake SL as a "Can't we all get along - Hug the World" Forced Re-education Gulag.

    "SL is dying" is nothing new for those of us who have been around for while.

    Then why the hell are you wasting everyone's time telling us again? Unless to boast about how old thus wise you must be for having noticed that it's not 2008 any more and that most of your fellow SecondWave Lastnamers left 10 years ago when they realised they were not going to become RL rich just by playing a "video game".

    It would be very helpful for LL to create a comprehensive how-to video tutorials.  For building stuff, starting with inworld prims and then move on to open-source software like Blender and Gimp.

    What the hell makes you think that there is ANYONE at LL who actually knows all that stuff, let alone has the skills to make worthwhile tutorials about it? Empirical evidence over the last 7 years, based on LL produced content says there isn't.

    I notice you don't use the version ofthe chart that shows YOUR generation of SL immigrants arriving, staying for 3 years trying to get rich, then doing SL a huge favour by 90% of them buggering off again...

    Probably because the exit of 90% of your peer group dwarfs the figures you do show by more than 5 to 1.

    On 23 December 2018 at 5:15 PM, Oct Oyen said:

    I believe there's a threshold point, once daily concurrency falls below it. The decline will accelerate exponentially until it bottoms out, if it doesn't bottom through it. It is my hope to get the conversation started and try out different approaches before we hit the threshold point.

    Belief has nothing to do with it, the trends in cases like this are well known, and we are NOWHERE near the "threshold" you think exists, as yet, but keep whining about how it's not 2008, and maybe you can scare off a few more people huh?

    Nostalgia for SL's "good ol' days" masks ways the current environment is superior to all the shady dealings that accompanied the frothy peak. ("Frothy" in a Santorum sort of way.) I remember when a week wouldn't pass without some poor newbie getting scammed by one or another unscrupulous Estate owner, when adfarm scumbags held the Mainland hostage, griefers routinely ravaged the grid crashing sims left and right, and Woodburries and their codependent spandex narcissists battled incessantly for control of Welcome Center incel strongholds.

    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    If SL lost some concurrency as a result of all those nitwits drifting elsewhere, SL and its regulars are all the better for it.

    At least *SOMEBODY* gets it...

    (Sorry Ethan... ;) ) 

    Most of the Secondwavers, the 90% that all buggered off in late 2008 early 2009, were here for the WRONG reasons, and did us all a favour by leaving.

    The biggest problem is it would have been better if 95% of them had left, not 90%. That extra 5% are the ones who desperately try to cling to 2007/2008 and their glory days, the ones still trying to fight the "Parcel Wars", the ones who still make disposable untraceable alts to collect ancient griefer weapons from a prim arsenal on the roof of a semi abandoned skybox over Sansara, and attack ancient enemies from 2007/2008.

    The ones still bemoaning that there are people in SL who "don't have proper last names", or that there are "too many filthy alts", or that things were better when everyone went to the same jazz club on Nautilus, or that...

    "LL are not doing enough to guarantee a steady stream of gullible noobs I can sell my stuff to without logging in, so as to get the amount of FREE MONEY FROM A GAME that *I* believe *I* am entitled to for being here since 2007..."

    But the educational market is pretty lame, dependent as it is on the concept of "internet learning", which is practically a contradiction in terms.

    But even medical/educational vom-cam having *some* uses, in specialised areas does NOT equate to "Vom-Cam is the Futireness, soon we'll all be using it for everything", and certainly doesn't hold the promise of commercial success for Project Stupid's out of date technology.

    Thing is, avatars in Slare NOT "exessively complex" unless... You are one of the MMO's, the Many Moron's Online.

    When I got a mesh body, I didn't spend days researching, or reading forums posts, or watching spewtube tutorial videos, to figure how I was supposed to wear it.

    A friend tp'd me to the store, bought me the body, and I spent 30 mins sorting it out, setting up folders and a basic outfit, applying the skin with the applier that came with my system skin, editing my shape so my new fitted mesh body would fit in side my old non fitted Standard sizes clothing so I'd have something to wear until I got new clothes.

    It's NOT rocket science, if you can wear a pair of  Viewer 2 compatible Prim Boots with an Alpha layer to hide your system feet, you can wear a mesh body.

    But go look at the "Avatar Forum" here, and see  how many old people from the Viewer 2 era can't cope, see how many noobs can't cope.

    Morons rule the Web, from the BS pages on Thickapedia, to the marketing decisions of the ApeHole Muck corporation.

    And THIS is where Vom-Cam fails, same as the "31 Flavours of Whinux" fails.

    Or are enough people disabling materials that its still necessary to add glossiness into the diffuse?

    Difficult to say, the SL Fossils will tell you that "hardly anyone uses materials" but...

    Empirical day to day evidence while wearing materials enabled latex ( number of people commenting on the shine) suggests the fossils are wrong...

    Some people will suggest you "mix" the "painted fake highlights" with the "calculated spec shine", to try and appease both groups. I'd advise against it.

    Painted highlights (regardless if painted by hand or "baked" using a shader in an external 3D app) do NOT work well with calculated highlights, basically they are always in the wrong place for the current lighting, and they tend to swamp the calculated highlights unless those are too strong.

    You simply cannot please both groups trying to mix the techniques on a single version, so either pick one, or include a materials and a no materials version in the pack, like for example, Exxess does with their hairs.

    For example the STEAM charts only count folks logging in via STEAM.

    I suspect there are far more people online than what the count on published Experiences reveals

    So...

    Basically, what you two are saying is...

    Project Stupid on Steam is a run-away success, because 40 million Steam gamers have all logged in without using Steam, and are currently HIDING in Uncountable-Project-Stupid-Stealth-Mode building their commercially successful Experiences, and soon(tm) Project Stupid will be making SO MUCH MONEY, that LL will be able to lower SL land prices to $10 a region?

    Hmmm... I think the BS Detectors went off when you two posted... AGAIN...

    Yeah, Steam figures only show people who log in via Steam, that's kind of the point...

    Project Stupid on Steam...

    Steam figures show that Steam users are NOT logging in via Steam in vast numbers, and the published figures for concurrency for Project Stupid, are DREADFULLY LOW and getting LOWER.

    There's been a small number of "pro-Stupid" reviews, by people who have pinned their hopes on Stupid as their new source of FREE MONEY from the internet, and who are desperate to get RL rich off a game again.

    And a steadily but slowly growing list of "Anti-Stupid" reviews from Steamers who bothered to try it, once...

    I can tell you have a slight problem understanding what you read

    Yay! An other fraudulent gratuitous personal insult from somebody who's wrong!

    Or you ignored that I wrote "inactivity" on purpose?

    Again... you need to define "inactive" specifically, for somebody to code for it. Hasn't moved their mouse? hasn't touched a key? If they are runnngtheir client in a window, and using the mouse to click on a different app, does that count or not? These things have to be strictly defined before anyone can code the changes you demand.

    So you think that someone who is inactive (check your dictionary) for a long time at an event while others are kept out is OK?

    Again, define "long time", and if you were so damned concerned with the unfairness of keeping others out, you wouldn't be so happy about your "Madlands Entitlement Club" get-in-before-the-peasants ability, right?

    Now I gotta ask this, despite your reading problem: why so worried?

    Again you accuse me of having a reading problem, but evidence suggests you are projecting...

    Pay attention...

     

    • Your demands that other people be kicked from events that you attend based on script counts, script time, script memory, avatar render complexity index, "inactivity", etc., are ill-informed tech-illiterate self-entitled crap.
    • You boast that you don't have problems getting in to events thanks to your "Entitlement Club" membership excess access override, that allows *YOU* into events while keeping *OTHERS* out, so why the hell are you worried?
    • You want coding time, which is already in short supply, devoted to solving a non-urgent problem that you claim doesn't affect you at all, based of vague definitions of "inactivity" and "reasonable time" which ultimately boil down to *YOU* deciding what every other person on the grid can do, based on how long *you* spend on the toilet NOT disposing of the crap you dumped here.

    Like I said... "Entitlement Club Whiners", always trying to piss down other peoples backs and tell them it's raining.

    The only thing about this that worries me, is that you think somehow, programmers can psychically determine exactly what you mean without you actually saying it, and create your new *piss down others backs* feature, so you can be even MORE entitled.

    We're done here, you were wrong, you will continue to be wrong, you will continue to feel entitled to be wrong, and to boast of your wrongness.
