This is old topic...but in case someone wonders... The Shelter is still there and open. It is now owned by Linden Lab but maintained by Shelter group members and volunteers. Every week events are still on, volunteers still help newbies and old regulars still hop by from time to time. All main spots are looking same like on old times, some nooks have bit refreshed look and some has completely new purpose. The Shelter was and is nice place to spend idle time, meet friends, play games and dance a bit or take some snapshots on poolside. Volunteer board is up and volunteers can be called for help anytime. See ya in The Shelter !

It is different for different people. I like mine old Meadowbrook house more than ANY new theme. It has lot of space and high ceilings. I have remoded it to suit mine needs and I LOVE it. All new theme houses make me feel trapped and if i stay long inside it makes me actually feel that i cant breathe and mine cam going all ime thru walls and ceilings/floor gets me dizzy. Even houses with open plans have so low ceiling that it can make person feel bad. Outside yards are small and prelandscaped with items what you cant remove or cover up and depends a lot what your neighbour has put up / no derendering for SLO browser and your derendering doesnt afect what your visiting friends see - so it is pointless/. Yes, textures of old house are poor and landcape items around them are very outdated. But you can remodel tham easily and put new good blinds on window what make even outdated outside more tolerable/not so visible but you have lot of space to move and decorate properly. Day when my home will be taken form me will be very very sad, I have had it years now, never changed to other type. Yes I have other places on SL but this house has me feel safe and home.

It should be easy IF LL keeps track how many $ you put in and how many you take out. They HAVE all that data, they just need share that with Tilia. ex: Within year you put in 30 000 $ and take out 20 000 $ then it isnt income but loss. You lost 10 000 $. So LL should report to Tilia that you didnt had any income. Actually - Tilia already knows that. They know all your transactions in and out. So you should get any tax demands only if your take out is bigger than input. If you take out more than you put in - then that is income. Max they can exclude from input is premium fee. Here all this kind data must be shared to person whom it touches, person must get all info about their money on any given time person needs it or it is.....lets say very bad to company. So Tilia should send people not tax demanding papers but annual review how much person put in and how much they took out and what amount goes under taxes. So people then file that into their tax declarations. Here is that kind thing must. Usually those annual reviews have all aspects so SL one should look something like this/more or less/ : how many $ came in, what deductions aka fees from it was taken, how many fees in general was taken in whole inworld from that person, how many $ was taken out and what fees was taken from that amount. All fees taken from lindends count too bc they are possible $. Person can declare them like personal investment to digital property. Marketplace fees, uploading fees, tiers aso aso. I fear that will make Tilia work hard to make it look proper and not shady.

Yes, that more or less helps with one person or with small group for short time. If you deal with real evil troll - that isnt much help. You can report but reaction to your report is slow, sometimes takes weeks. Moving itself from situation aka tp out helps but hurts your SL experience badly. If you are newbie and you have only one or two places where you log.... and those places are invaded by trolls/griefers - that makes you log off and never come back. Has happened to many people. Solution to this is hard to find but at least newbies should have some kind protection against trolls/griefers until they learn to defend itself better. Other point is - hiding people on events to prevent some lagg. FS has that option, SLO doesnt. I think it is time to add that function to official browser. If FS can do it it is possible. SLO lacks many other good functions, reason why majority changes from it to FS. FS isnt perfect too, it has its own flaws but why not learn from itse good points and better SLO?

OUCH! I liked her adventures and her personality, she was beautiful person. RIP.

Nope they doesnt form digital ID FROM those applications. Digital ID is completely dif thing And yes you can tie SmartID and mobile ID with it but not vice versa. I can tie many things with it but aplications what i tie doesnt get mine personal data like you think.

I bet you dont know what digital ID is. It is given to me by our goverment, not by MS or other company. Thru it i get all what is needed. It is legal official passport, just in digital form. We even vote with it online. So it can allow me be anonymous too still verify me.

"If you don't already have an authenticator app on your mobile device, install the authenticator app of your choice. Most authenticator apps, like Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator, are free and available in your device's app store, and are regularly kept up to date with automatic updates."

In mine country you can do nothing with that authentication, even at work if there is very secure data. We dont use MS stuff bc it isnt safe. We use digital ID or Smart ID or Mobile ID. Even banks ask them. Messing with camera and scanning codes ..... it is so annoying and makes life complicated if your mobile gets lost or broke. Digital ID works everywhere without any installing from MS / what already is unsecure/and every session is unique.

In mine country we dont use MS authentication bc it is unsafe. We have digital ID with what we do all - log in, go to bank or vote aso. I bet many other countries have smth similar too. Why limit people to use smth non safe and very complicated to use? Also not approved by their country? None place here uses it to secure their data - any bank will laugh onto your face if you try use it. Why not let people to use way in what they believe and what is really secure? MS isnt secure, it has been shown many times, they only want fish your data and doesnt care whom they give it.

Done that - didnt helped. I have lost items that way before too and those also never returned - was whole fat house furniture folder / around items for 50 000L was poofed/. I did all, even filed ticket - they told they cant help. So i started redeliveries and asking-pleading creators. I must say - most creators were very understanding and helpful, so i managed restore 60% of folder. Im forever thankful to them and devoted client since now. Weirdest part? Few years forward - and now and then i discover some item what was then lost in various random folders - lost and found, objects, clothing aso. never in furniture folder. Not many returned that way, its like 5-6 items. I wonder from where they come, still i am happy if item is one what i couldnt restore before ./ yup, i still have looong list what i made then/. Anyway....maybe they come back some day....in far furure....who knows but i dont have high hopes.

TY ❤️ !! Funny part- i never turned it on. I forgot add....that update erased big part mine notecards too, I have only empty folders up. They never came back. And i have feeling i miss some stuff more what havent come back after all try. It happened me before too and i never got my items back then, I needed redeliver them or ask creators if that was possible. With NCs it will be impossible.

After browser update / one before current what i have from today/ i was hit with weird fenomen - if i select item it becomes transparent and if i want move or resize them they become invisible. Makes building, decorating and art making extremely hard. I have tried all things out what are usually suggested. What i can do more? Fire ticket? bc it is last what is left or is there smth more?

To all them who just want go and buy....there is lot of items with what you can do so. For some people that kind stuff is bit boring when you go to event and you be surrounded with all same " at moment popular" outfit and hair. Sometimes it even feels tiny bit creepy :D:D ...or funny. Happens usually after every new event or weekend sales. Gacha was good way for those who want have bit dif. look and who were ready to invest time and money into this. Also for them who like gift nice items what arent easy to get. Gift stright from vendor or MP is nice too but ...read that "too" with impact. Still that also is mine opinion only.

Conveyer system is dream come true for resellers if items are still transfer. If they arent .....I think there will be very few who want play them bc you spend lot of money on items what you dont want and cant sell or gift. Limited item sales.....are bot party if items stay transfer and then scalpers sell them on MP. Fatpacks are usually expensive. If items are still in them transfer scalpers buy them, break into parts and sell for separate good items for good money on MP. If fatpacks are copy and no transfer....you get lot of stuff what you dont need and want in inventory, it is waste of money. / reason why i very very rarely buy gacha fatpacks / So transfer option is from one side good but same time bad. Maybe it should be vice versa - you dont trade transfer items to be copy ones for free but you trade copy ones to be transfer for some nice lindens? Then people who want gift in old fashion way can do it. Gifting thru shop vendor can be in some cases impossible and gifting from MP has some bad moments too. Seems that only options to make special sets and sell them with bit fun activity for buyers are similar to fishing and breedables, what both are allowed to continue. Methods need just bit adjusting to be not very complicated and fit with new regulations. Buy must be known item...what you can do with that items after isnt regulated and in this is key. Like fishing - make rod, sell it with same prize to all....make nice pool with nice seats and let people fish out items. Or like breedables - make base items with dif prizes what when you merge them gives you random outcome. Or make skill game with pay to play and with points you get you can choose prize. It is mine opinion but seems those are only options left....maybe some creative mind finds smth more.

If breedables are allowed with condition that root level traits are known when you buy it.....then why not make breedable outfits or smth similar to it? Like you buy pink dress /nc,nm,t/ and green dress /nc,nm,t/and shop provides free? box/hud where you put your dresses and get third dress with random traits ( maybe with pink and green stripes or green with pink dots or green with pink flowers) with same nc, nm,t. Make outfits breed only once and if you want you can not breed them just wear how they are. Make some "parent" dresses be cheaper some costly. Maybe some have frills, some have laces, some are long, some short , some with sleeves some without...there is endless options - same way like with cats. Only dif will be that you loose "parents" to get "child" and "child" isnt breedable one. So what you buy is known and IF you want smth random - you "breed" aka combine. I think that would sell well if "child" stays no copy, no mod, transfer. People can sell then ones what they dont like or combinations what are more rare - same like with cats. Maker then only needs make basic ones and have box/hud with script / for free or for some lindens/ Random moment comes then to buyer- if they want it they make it if not - dress is wearable without it too.

Fishing game isnt same....you BUY worms to get that random fish/sum of money. In most fishing games you actually cant fish without worms. Lucky chairs doesnt have pay if not consider group entering fee to be pay for chairs what are group only.

In mine country /in borders of EU/sexual services are illegal and considered crime.

Beside 7Seas fishing is there more fishing games where you buy worms to catch fish/lindens with random value. Worms have dif prizes and costly ones give you more lindens but you never know how many. In those games you buy worm to get random amount of lindens aka outcome is unknown. Btw. gachas are kind of easy to remade into skill game - just make vendor what is like shooting rink. Bullets cost same to all and all prizes are up on poster with point cost. Targets on shooting rink are moving around - so it is skill game. And some....eee...a looooot pages ago was talk about reporting gachas what are up after 01.09.21 There is one problem- you can report but outcome is .....near zero. I and mine friends have reported one troll neighbour...nothing has changed. I reported one porn gallery whats "art" was visible outside on M rated mainland.....nothing has changed. So...reporting is gambling itself - it might work on few cases but usually doesnt....so maybe it is banned already
