    how about a crazy idea. give to the new users all benefits of premium ones, except the money.

    i did not check lately, but there was tons on old prim houses in premium area, those with 512 land. just give to a new user a free 15 days of free house, with only 1 room furnished and a storage room full of crates with furniture, dances clothes for starter avatar, skins etc. they will learn to open crates, dress / undress, rezz prims.. etc. also, if you put all eggs in one basket, i mean all new residents in one area, they will have a community, neighbours to talk or annoy or be upset.plus, access to premium sandboxes , etc. No money , for obvious reasons

    after all, Sl wants to be a new life, and, in my 15 years of sl, the most wanted thing of all people i meet was to have a place to call home. after 15 days, they will know if they want to stay or not, to pay or be free users

    No one comes to SL looking for something.

    in some cases, not true. 15 years ago, i was in school, and some guy told me "you know there is a game where you can have sex and make real money" (every school boy wet dream - sex and money i guess). So i made an account, and dedicated my next  6 months for sex and money.First lesson: with a noob look and inventory none was possible. so, too achieve that, i had to  learn better english (europe here) to communicate, learn photoshop to make skins, after  was blender for meshes.. etc... the slex part was easy and became obsolete after 6 months, and there were never more than 100-200 USD per month, but i still try to be creative and learn new things. Made a lot of friends, done a lot of things and my goals are now in other directions. but without those words from a guy in school, and my desire for sex and money i will not be here.

    Got asked about why I talk/rant/blather on so much (as an artist) about avatar proportions ...

    ... and why I actually turn down dances with male avatars who are too tall. So here's your answer :)

    This is the standard artist ideal (left), and an image of the last guy I danced with for one dance (right) to scale.

    The issue for me is this is common. Every male avatar at last night's dance towered over me ... standing 6'0" (182cm) tall in heels. Towered. And as much as you're cute, I can't get past how silly it looks. Yeah, I know SL's fantasy land, but I like what I like. Dance? Cuddles? Get down here, handsome. ;)

    There is no LEGACY free body.  The free body IS the TMP body and can wear the older clothes made for TMP.  The Legacy body costs 5000L.  

    they are not the same. the light skin one is the  older tmp, the dark tone is new free body

    Why is no one mentioning that the Legacy mesh body is free if you join the group which is also free? It's still one of the most supported bodies and ideal to get you started.

    legacy free body cannot wear most of the TMP clothes. it can wear all the pants  because fit the waist and you can hide the rest, but no tanks and tops

    I did not buy a Kario body

    and really that's the problem with this body. seems like almost no one here done that or care to do. before the launch, we had 6 pages talking about. After, not even a single line. none, zero, nada. No one posted pics, good reviews, bad reviews on this body on the forum. When tmp became legacy, zillions of pages pro/ con about it , sharing good's and bad's. 

       this body is mostly a wrong move today, because it targets wrong audience.  most people here ( like the example put by Skell ) got it and tried to make it as  slim as possible.. why ? really, why could be a reason to get almost the most muscular body on market and make it the slimest ? other bodies work well on that.on the other hands, most of my friends with aesthetic don't even tried. the look on Kario is not the look wanted by the people in body-building sl community. those people want anatomic accuracy and Kario is..... let;s say is not.even the head made for it, John, is a joke. a very young kid smooth look on a rough body.

     aesthetic mesh might be outdated, but it got the look right.

    will people buy it? of course, is shine and new and we love to show others we had the money to get it.all creators already jumped to help it, so it will have support. it will became popular ? we will see.. my guess is not, but there are rare times when i am wrong

    I doubt very much that you'll have to attach any add-ons. The nipple and nail options will likely be clickable choices on the body's HUD, much as they are on the Maitreya Lara HUD. Set up your preference once (assuming you don't like the out-of-the-box options) and you're done.

    don't know about that. i don't think, at any male body in SL someone looked and thought "i need better nipples".

    I used to have my RL photo in my profile, but removed it for precautionary reasons.

    I'm curious how this "RL photo" from an AI-constructed version of your avatar was created. Would you mind sharing that information? Sounds really cool.

    take a good picture of your SL avatar, then use apps like Faceswap or reface ( android phone) and is done. sometime effects are amazing

    Basic SLetiquette Friendship Rules

    I wonder if people here agree that these are the basic rules for friendship in SL. For me, they are non-negotiable.

     

    we really need a better way to manage friendship list... going from  "i will ad this guy maybe some day i will need him" to basic friends, intimates, to "almost twins" . good friends don"t need rules, we know each other to well. i know a lot of people in sl, mostly in clubs/ places i go, i remember them , most of the time, but my friend list is short, i really ad only people i care. once they in, i will never remove them, even they don't log for years. just treat sl friendlist like rl , call friends only people that matter to you...

    Can we have a political sub forum?

    in Forums Feedback

    Posted

    how to have a political discussion (or any kind) with others:

    1. learn to be silent when others speak

    2. Learn to listen

    3. Learn to be silent when others speak

    3. analyze / understand what others say

    4.learn to be silent when others speak

    5. Express your opinion based on facts and not on feelings

    6. Did I mention to learn to be silent?

    In my youth, I used to teach children these things at school.Funny the discussions on this forum remind me of those good old days ...Lots of kids bustling around here

    The genie is out of the bottle. Political threads are going to keep popping up in general.. Locking threads is only going to lead to more saltiness, micro aggressions and little passive aggressive jabs. Wouldn’t it just be better to have them contained in one place that you can choose not to view if you don’t want to? Even better why not make it something you can opt into? That way, you won’t even see the sub forum unless you really wanted to.

    We can't even have a quiet discussion about having a sub-forum on politics and you want a discussion about politics?
