    Are people afraid to talk to older accounts?

    Most games don’t last for so long that an actual age difference can be perceived. In any game, even if people are different ages in real life they all feel like they are the same virtual age and have similar experiences. In SL, we have accounts 10 to 15 years older than new accounts and a virtual generational difference can be felt by residents. 

    Yeah, that's something that I've strongly noticed as of late too. It's hard not to feel that way when we do have users who are well into their fifties and sixties.

    For me there's sometimes a bit of nervousness around very old accounts. It's less ageism for me and more that I feel like a complete noob in comparison and get the impression that I would be bothering people with it.

    That's understandable, I still feel like a noob around people with accounts older than mine too.  I think that's a universal feeling for some people though.

    I was once told "you have a legacy name, you do not know anything about SL"   I know more than people think I know,  I pay a bit of attention to certain aspects,  I've even had some forum users question me at times, but I can pull proof of everything I've said hehe.  

    How..how does having a legacy name mean you don't know anything about SL? I want to know the logic behind that.

    My oldest account is 11yrs, and I find myself getting less and less people to talk to, but when I log onto this account (4yrs old), I'm usually swamped with messages as soon as I step into a sim or I find myself getting responses almost asap when I message someone, and I'll talk to just about anyone and everyone when I'm online. Are people afraid to talk to older accounts or am I just going crazy?

    Question regarding name changes

    So. Context.

    I was watching a group chat in SL (won't name the group), and someone wanted help with their new name.   She got torn apart in said group for wanting to do it.

    Why do some people seem to be offended by the idea of others spending their own money to have the name they want?

    Yes yes. I've actually since sold the fursona since I lost interest in it after three years, just haven't gotten around to removing the DP here.  Apperantly the forums don't allow editing of old posts,  otherwise I'd have done so by now.

    I can help!   To upload a picture from your computer it does cost 10L, but you can bypass this by going to the seconlife website and going to My Secondlife.  You'll find a link for it on your dashboard,  click on your profile and the. Click edit, the first tab you'll see is for your main profile picture, from there it's easy to do,  click the button to click the picture you want to upload and then hit upload button on the website.

     

    You can do this for you second profile picture too.

    Hm... Between the two? I'd probably pick Rhonda.

    She's a very handsome woman although a little intimidating, but that's what draws me in looking at her. I'd feel more confident in her being able to hold a convo on deeper levels than the cute little blonde Maybie.

    Rhonda strikes me as a woman who would part from you with a bow while you gave her a curtsey, in a fog.. She would leave you with a faint whisper of "We'll always have Paris.."

     

     

    .....*COUGHS*.. Sorry.. I may have romanticized this a little bit..  I've been reading a lot of romance related manga and novels..  But, y'all get my point, right?

       The title of the thread gave me flashbacks to that one time I fell asleep on the night bus home (regional bus, goes all the way to the northern border of the county), woke to in a village in the middle of nowhere and decided to hop off. It was late autumn, my phone was dead, and there was a road sign saying it was 34 kilometers back to the city - I figured I might as well start walking. 8 kilometers later and realizing that I might as well just sit down and wait for the morning bus at the next stop, which just so happened to be next to an old church with an extensive graveyard.

       As I sat down on the graveyard wall (the bus stop's bench had of course been vandalized and was little more than a murky heap of splinters), looking out over the empty fields and the surrounding forests, I heard a noise; like a dark, menacing chuckling, echoing over the meadows. I pretty quickly sobered up and sat there for a few hours, twitching at every sound.

       When I came home, my mother had already gotten up and was making breakfast, so I gave her a brief description of my nightly adventure and went to crash. When I woke up, she had called a friend who apparently lived in the village where that church was, and learned that the nightly noises came from someone who has a deer farm - it was the bucks' mating calls. 

       Anyway, I don't know much of anything when it comes to furry communities or stuff - but welcome back! 

    That has got to be the greatest response to this thread so far! Thanks and thanks for the welcome.

    As a fellow furry, I bid you Welcome (back) to SL. It can be confusing for first timers and returnees, but it's a lot like riding a bike; The more you fall off, the less the concussions will hurt.

     

    Since you say you visit adult sims, I would recommend you look up the United Space Force Nation group. They have themselves a homestead sim that is pretty friendly hang-out spot all around. Can't give the sim name cuz it's Adult and that'd be against forum TOS...

    Thanks! I haven't forgotten my way around SL, but I've also been here for a long time (old account, it got overwhelming for me to be on so I abandoned it.) Which helped reinserting myself.

    Would you mind sending me an LM inworld since you can't talk about it here next time your on?

    Mind if I ask what time zone?  Night for one is morning for another and all that.

    I'm an east coaster,  I think when it's 3am for me its 12am in Sl? I could be wrong.  I have trouble with time zones.. And time in general.

    Hello! I'm.. HarleyHorrow Resident, better known as Dyani!

    As you can uh.. Kinda of figure, I'm another furry.. I've been here for about a year but took periodic breaks through out my time online.

    I'm looking for friends inworld, I usually run around as a deer.. Or an elf, generally in some kind of RP gear too.

    But fear not! I'm not always looking like a dirty traveler, anyways..

    I'm usually on at night, weekends I tend to be offline. I don't mind sharing my FB since I have one specially made for my SL account (and once last names roll out I will jump on that faster than a leopard would on me. I budgeted for that!)

    I lurk primarily in adult sims, I can be found in hubs too at times.  I don't use voice but I keep it on, one of these days I'll get brave. 

    So.. Don't be afraid, message me inworld and come talk to me, let's sim hop and hang out in seedy places, maybe throw a lot of shade to people pose ballin.

    *Bleats* In the forums, I'm seen as HarleyHorrow Resident.  but I prefer going by my in-game display name Dyani (Deer).  I'm a 28 year old furry,  Been a furry since I was a teenager and just now finally settled on who I want to be represented as. My name is just the generic native-american word for Deer.  Why?.... why not? It's part of my RL heritage. 

    I'm into a lot of things; anime and manga, crocheting, some alternative stuff, music, writing and roleplaying.  I'm an aspiring actress RL and I work for the adult industry from the comfort of my home!
