  1. Because if you can find people silly enough to do it purely for kudos and (temporary) free sims, it would be stupid to pay for it.
  2. No, the real question is why would one want to? You're not getting paid and you've got approximately two years worth of bootlicking to do before you even get a sniff of a free (temporary) sim to decorate. Furthermore, a subsection of the population will be everlastingly bitter about your access to said free sim because fitting out entire regions is an expensive hobby far beyond the reach of most residents, much like Victorians on 2048 plots. You are much better off taking Prok's suggestion of doing your own thing, which has the added advantage of you maybe perhaps being able to make enough money to offset your costs.
  3. Yes, that's the situation as I understand it and posted above. Nobody's expecting the actual bureau in charge of issuing passports to have hundreds of members and be open to everyone, so it's weird when people insist they are.
  4. You're not confusing it with the Bellisserian Citizens group, are you? That's open to everyone without having to request an invite, and is full of PG chatter. As I posted upthread, the BBB is currently a private group with around twenty members. Maybe it was open access before, but it isn't now.
  5. Yeah, this is just how villages work. People are happier working with friends and family, and it's actually more efficient a lot of the time because they have a good grasp of those people's skillsets and the best way to manage them. And yes, you probably do need to suck up to the vicar if you want to use the church hall on a regular basis, and no, the committee in charge of the village fete probably aren't interested in the lady who just moved in and her fancy new ideas. We basically don't get to fix this unless we go back to the old policy of Lindens not interacting with residents, which I'm not sure anyone wants.
  6. Can I suggest you put them all in one place rather than scattering them all over the HQ? I could only find about six. Maybe the others weren't rezzing.
  7. 'Why' and 'how' is pretty much explained in the previous thread I posted, but I understand why you might not want to wade through that. As you say, Bellisseria is a very silly place.
  8. We are invited; we get to go along next month and see what Delilah's fam have put together for our benefit. No, we don't get to contribute, because we're not Delilah's fam. I hope that clears things up for you.
  9. Apart from the fact that, as multiple people have pointed out, the production of cartoon SA imagery is against the law in the US, we also have to factor in the Nazi bar problem. Which is to say: if your platform is known to tolerate cartoon paedophila with, as its defenders like to insist, no 'real' victims as everyone involved is over 18, there is a risk that your platform becomes a magnet for people with those inclinations, and, before you know it, is being used to facilitate the circulation of RL CSAM. That is not a situation LL wants to find itself in, and it's equally unacceptable to most residents. I don't want people thinking I'm a paedo because I'm in SL. I get quite enough judgment on that score already, thanks.
  10. Sex-related HUD systems will broadcast to others in the vicinity wearing the same HUD that you are wearing it. They couldn't really operate otherwise. They may also involve other avatar attachments which would be visible in area search and by 'what is she wearing' scripts. (This isn't to say that I didn't find the screenshots hinky, but on the other hand I haven't used every viewer out there, nor have I ever had God powers, so it's impossible for me to be certain that they're fake.)
  11. The investigation may not yet be at a stage where he can have that level of certainty.
  12. They just need actual enforcement of the existing rules that were put in place last time we had child avatar panic. Get rid of content that is clearly aimed at sexualising children. Don't do stupid stuff like put your store selling toddleedoo beds on the same adult sim as a shop selling sex animations. Existing policy is fine, it simply needs to be implemented.
  13. I think the likelihood of police getting involved with cartoon stuff varies widely depending on jurisdiction. 🤷‍♀️
  14. I really don't, but print media was unlikely to be interested in a 30-page infodump about a virtual world even if they weren't concerned about it getting them sued for libel, so here we are.
  15. Out of interest, where would the dossier need to be published for you (or anyone else) to take it seriously? Pretty much all of what passes for journalism in SL is blog-based.
  16. People in positions of power are historically not great at introducing checks and balances which would inhibit the exercise of that power. Did anyone in SL's first twenty years of existence stop to ask who would govern the governors?
  17. 99% of SL residents never read the official blog or these forums, so that's fine. The remaining 1% who are Very Online i.e. they read SL blogs, have a couple of inworld group chats enabled, used to read Virtual Secrets etc. have known about all this for three weeks now, and been clamoring for some kind of official statement. Now they have one. And anyone who's just stumbling upon it now... well, Google is your friend.
  18. Anyone who was here pre-2010 and got a last name they didn't have to pay for?
  19. It's shorter than 'legacy Linden Homes'?
  20. The last thing consumers need is to be at the mercy of a monopoly. Nobody wants the entire economy grinding to a halt whenever one provider's servers start playing up. Muniick have been on MD for a while. They refund you if you try to buy the same thing twice, which is very helpful for packrats with poor memories.
  21. I once rolled two chalets next door to each other and it was great. I left one house unfurnished and used its prims for the garden of the other one. Sadly this was a very short-term arrangement as I needed to downgrade one of the alts, but having a driveway complete with car was quite the luxury while it lasted. So a double-primmed 1024 would work better for me than a 2048, though I realise that's even less likely to happen.
  22. Maybe there are hobbit homes on the way and they'll update when those are released?
  23. I think the main issue here is that none of the existing 1024's are actually adjacent; they all have Linden land surrounding them. So in order to join them you're going to have to make the easement into a small Linden parcel, join it up with the other two, carve a replacement microparcel off your new larger parcel to get that back down to 2048 and then merge it back into the rest of the Linden land. Obviously your new 2048 is going to have the parcel centre in a completely different place to your previous two so you're going to need to re-landscape with a new mailbox, new walls/paths/hedges/plants... And now it looks weird surrounded by 1024's so you're going to have to alter at least half of those in the immediate vicinity in exactly the same way. This is a boring task that can't be automated, and the Moles are not going to be spending time and energy on it when they could be rolling out desirable new 2048's.
  24. If you're planning on gettng a Zooby baby, you may want to consider their LoveMomma body, purely because it's so well-integrated and shape changes etc. are all done for you. Not much clothing around, but how much do you really need in terms of maternity wear? My alt just bummed around in tunics and BOM leggings. If on the other hand you want to avoid that whole money pit of an ecosystem, just pick your favourite between Legacy and Reborn. I wouldn't worry too much about future-proofing as there's enough existing inventory to keep you going for years.
