  1. I like to go exploring in SL and I too have come across empty bars, malls, and cities. It’s quite sad how unpopular this great site has become. Whole malls with nothing for sale, clubs that have been abandoned for years, entire communities with houses that are vacant. I was sick during the golden years of sl and now everybody’s gone to minecraft which I do not care for.

    Every time I log in today I get a moment of logged in then lose connection. Anyone else?

    Yes, this exact thing kept happening to me all last night. I also was unable to hear other people on their mics and I experienced a brief period of time where teleporting was ‘blocked’.

  3. I can hear my own when I speak into my mic but everyone else is completely silent even as they keep assuring me that they are indeed talking. When I first log in I start out hearing voices but then it always cuts to silence. This happens in both firestorm and SL viewer. In audio settings on SL I had voices up 100% and music down to 0%. I ended up being a nuisance today instead of getting to have a nice conversation. What is wrong and how can I fix it before our next verbal get-together?

    If it’s worth anything, SL also kept logging me out and for a period of time ‘blocked’ my ability to teleport. But the biggest and most consistent problem for me was my inability to hear anyone on their mics.

    I think it's the best men's body but then I like the Legacy Athletic (swimmer shape - it comes with shapes)...that is gorgeous and that's the one I'm talking about.  The women's is okay and just okay to me.  But, to tell you the truth, I fell in love with the Maitreya mesh body the day I saw it and I still love it.  The shoulders could use work, but the Legacy female body has the same sh-lumpy shoulders as Maitreya - both the same.   Maybe some day the Legacy women's will win me over like the Legacy Athletic swimmer shape did or a new body maker will who comes out with new shoulders.  

    I prefer the look of belleza Isis. I think her hips, joints, and bust look the most realistic

    If you don't want the features that the bridge provides, go to Preferences/Firestorm/Extras and uncheck Enable LSL-Client Bridge. You should be able to detach it and have it stay detached. And you should be able to delete the bridge from any outfit folders it's made its way into directly from your inventory.

    What does the bridge do for me?

    Halfway through all my sets I take a moment to remind folks about everyone else that made it possible for me to be standing up there performing...  The words I use vary constantly of course but its usually something like this.....

    "Musicians, DJs, other performers, we don't make the music scene in SL happen on our own. You can't just turn up and start busking on a SL street corner, the grid doesn't work like that. Without the venue owners and their staffs, who all put in their time, their effort and often serious chunks of RL money there would be no music scene in SL at all. So I will direct your attention to (points out venues and hosts tipjars) but also ask that whenever you are around the grid and you come across a place with a performer of any kind up on stage, even if that performer is absolutely rubbish and you hate what they are doing, show what appreciation you can to the venue and its staff because that way you are supporting every performer on the grid and we'll all thank you for it."

    At the venue I frequent, the hosts and djs get all their tips and you have to tip the house separately, and there is zero incentive to tipping the house— your name doesn’t appear in the local ‘thanks for tipping’ message like it does the host/DJ tip messages and the host/DJ don’t thank you or say anything.

    my music is close to nonexisten in sl. 😛 don't mind rarely being that generous once in a blue moon. just this week 3 of my favorite venues shut down due to lack of funds. soon i'll be running out of them if i don't get involved and support them

    That’s too bad! What were the venues?

    To put it as simply as possible, personal opinions aside, pay what you want, when you want and to whom you want.  There is no rule for tipping or even an expectation that you do unless you do make a song request and then that amount is still up to you.

    I keep seeing the same response. “Oh, pay what you want... but I personally tip/make [huge number]”

    and it also seems like 100L keeps popping up, like it’s the median. Somewhere from 20–200L seems average.

    Well I’d been paying the DJs 100-200L each daily for a while but I’ve needed to get stricter with my budget but I keep going to this venue anyway because I feel like I’ve made friends. I’ve dropped it to 30-50L plus another 50L if I make a song request or if the set was insanely good. There are an average of 4 sets a day and generally I’m there for most of them most days. It still adds up over a while. I’m just wondering if my tipping is so low that it actually makes the show feel insulted. On the other hand I don’t want to do big tips all the time and make the DJs feel awkward or obliged to me in some way.

    For me it's mostly like L100 - I'm just being polite; L250 - quality set, I want to encourage you; L500 - great tuneage AND nice personality; 1k - you really impressed me! I'll come back in the future as well; 3k - you're a music god and I must really like the venue a lot too; 5k - you played Placebo or Massive Attack more than two tracks in a row. xD

    You have tipped DJs 5k (that’s 20$) for playing your favorite bands?? I’m afraid I’ve never been as generous.

    Usually I try to tip what I think would be the same amount someone would tip at a real life venue.

    Depending on how I like the genres, what they are playing, and the vibes...I usually tip a fair amount of anywhere of 25-100L. I try to keep it in my budget but still give a little out if I can! :)

    I tip the same amount. Some of these numbers on this thread are surprising! How much is the minimum for tipping after a granted song request?

  11. These outfits I put on my mesh bodies fit perfectly everywhere and then the front of the bust clips through. I've tried changing everything about my shape and bust. What needs to be changed to fix this? Many really nice outfits have been rendered inappropriate for clubbing and such because of this glitch! Here's my latest outfit to get ruined by this (this is Maitreya but it's happened with Belleza too):

    L $275 is roughly the cost of a cup of coffee, so i don’t hesitate to tip at least that much for a DJ set since they usually spin for 2 hours. 

     

     

    That seems like a generous amount!

    And sometimes it's tip kissing when staff tip each other. When me or my man DJed, most tipped when a request was played and when they leave the club.  Sometimes if played a long-forgotten song the tip could be bigger.

    I've seen the tip kissing a lot. Thank you. This is what I've been doing.

    I never make a request but I always tip something to both the DJ and the host/hostess.  If they're playing really great music, I'll even tip again a few times while I'm there.  There is certainly no obligation to tip and no one should make you feel you should while at their venue, but it's a nice way to show your appreciation for what they do and the costs they incur as well.

    If I were to do this and come by the club every day I'd lose a lot of money after a while

    If you enjoyed it, pay a little if you want.  There is no expectation that you pay anything at all.  I always do if I requested a song but honestly, I rarely do.  I may drop some to the host and DJ but not always.  No one will think any less of you if you choose not to tip.

    Sounds good.

  13. What are the unspoken rules with paying hosts and DJs at clubs in SL? I get that you tip the DJ after a song request. Do I have to tip for being present for the whole set? Would not tipping after staying the whole time be rude? I want to be a part of clubs but it'd get really costly dropping hundreds of Ls per day.
