    Why aren't teen accounts rezzed in a separate place anymore?

    I so agree with this. I've sent and recieved more than one, "Um, do you mean to be naked?", IM and the answer was almost always no & thank you for telling me. What you see on your screen can be very different from what someone else sees on theirs. Attachments might not detach or hide when they were meant to and what you're taking for creepy may be just clueless.

    In the off chance that they do respond rudely, AR/mute to your heart's content, but really, how emotionally scarred can you get from seeing a prim *Oh for pete's sake! Really, forum? that was a medical term.* winkie/johnthomas/diggerido/?

    YES! The Avatar's Front of SL, not the *bleeping* SLian's Avatar Front!

    I am down for a mellow, sexy sort of revolution:

    I would like to add dirty martinis, free nationwide bionic speed internets and a shrubbery to the list of demands.

    I'm also down for this bit of Rudy's demands:

    "and send the
    *
    girls and the
    *
    GIRLs to a nice
    *
    forum in a tented
    *
    city somewhere where they can
    *
    whinge to each other about men not
    *
    listening to them, or always leaving the
    *
    toilet seat up."

    A nice spot where we can plot our violent takeover of the forums and the enslaving of everyone who is not us eat chocolates and braid one another's hair in peace and talk about how dreamy Johnny Depp is.

    If you want a better skin than the freebies, join Belleza's Group.  It will cost you 250L to join but you will get 3 or 4 very high quality skins as a joining gift. 

    Those Belleza male skins are some of the best I've ever seen. If you have 250L to spend, it's more than worth it.

    What makes emo/goth guys "your type?" The way they dress, the way they look, the way they act? Remember that just because someone seems/looks emo/goth in SL, doesn't mean they look and act the same way in RL. Are you looking for love with another avatar, or another person?

    If you're just looking for someone to look like a cute couple with, you could always make an alt account & be your own emo bf.

    There is a whole mall of freebies inworld..help me out here cause I cant remember what its called :matte-motes-crying: I found it by typing Freebie into the search, back when my search worked lol. There are lots of nice things to get started with there, hair, skins, shapes, clothes, everything.  
    Then type Sandbox into the search to find somewhere to open all your goodies. ^^  Have fun.

    That's another reason I recommend Fabfree-if you join their group you can open your boxes there. I forgot to mention NCI's freebie wall & The Free Dove-also excellent places to get started.

    Looks in SL can so easily be changed... not only you can put into whatever appearance with just a click or two... you can also put
    out
    of that appearance just as easily, if you're not really comfortable with it.

    So, when you find a seemingly nice candidate, give him emo/goth skins, emo/goth hairs, emo/goth eyes, emo/goth clothing, emo/goth jewellery, etc., and tell him that he must wear all that stuff whenever he's with you.

     

    If he refuses, there you have a potentially good man :smileyhappy:

    This is some of the best advice I've ever read.

    You should start with buying a skin, and then make your own shape or buy one.

    Don't get all crazy with the buying yet. She's still figuring out how to change clothes. Once you find the hair in the library-which is quite nice, have a look in there at the rest of the goodies. You can probably put together an outfit or two that take a bit of the new off.

    The library skins are not quite up to par though. Luckily, a lot of creators in SL have thought about new people and offer a ton of really nice free things to help get you started. Fabfree Station (you'll find it in search) is a wonderful shop with designer skins, hair, clothing, even a nice AO(Animation Override-goes a long way toward making you move more easily and naturally) and everything there is free. There are several other good free shops, but FabFree is just a great 'one-stop' to give yourself a quick makeover.

    & Welcome-it gets much, much easier. :-)

    Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!

    I'm not positive, but I think BDR is Beautiful Dirty Rich. I only know their hair (which is pretty nice), haven't seen the skins.

    A note on one of the shops Ariel mentioned, Belleza. They have a group join fee of 300L (may be 250-it's been awhile) but they currently have a couple of gorgeous new skins out as group gifts. If you try their demos and like them, the join fee is a great bargain for some very high quality skins. Exodi also has a join fee but very nice group gift skins & they currently have a pretty natural/low makeup skin on their lucky chair. (I'm a bargain shopper & I love me some group gifts. lol)

    I know it's off topic, but I love your sense of style, Marianne. This look is so classy and timeless and amazingly sexy. lol, It makes me want to log in and rework my whole look.

    On topic, though, I agree about graphics quality and environment settings. I've snuck in some inworld time on the office pc during my lunch hour and I'm always struck by how much difference it makes in my av's look. As far as the skin shops go, I haven't been in many that seem to do excessive photoshopping. The demos are usually pretty close to the display. I never buy shapes, just use the one I made and obsessively tweak, so I don't expect it to be an exact duplicate. I'm not sure what difference it might make, but I used to try on demos in the shop, but now I wait until I get home so I can take my time deciding without feeling like a display model. Skins can be such a big expense that unless you have plenty of disposable linden, it's not a good idea to rush it.

    ...  a sign I saw once in someone's office which said just the opposite: "Give a man a fish, he knows where to come for fish. Teach a man to fish and you've just destroyed your marketbase."

    I read it and laughed and said something like, "nice sign". He went into a ten minute spiel, breaking down the original,"Teach a man to fish", idiom and explained to me why that attitude was "
    bad for the countr
    y". Scary, scary guy.

    The exact quote is "give a man a fish, you've fed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, you've fed him for a lifetime."

    I think the guy with the sign was prob making the point that when everyone goes fishing the rivers and oceans soon run out of fish. So we introduce quotas and licensing to stop this happening. Downside is that if you cant get a license then you cant go fishing even if you know how.

    I wouldn't have thought to take it so literally.  My take on it was that it's a metaphor for keeping people ignorant in order to keep them from figuring out how to provide the service or product, which you provide to them, for themselves.

    ...Dres

    lol, Dres is correct. The gist of this nut's opinion, (who was a contractor, btw) was that 'regular' people had no business doing things themselves and should pay professionals instead. He thought Home Depot was some sort of evil and had a whole diatribe on HGTV (The D.I.Y. network). "I didn't spend 20 years in this business for every jackleg who watches TV for an hour to think he can hang his own sheetrock!!", peppered with plenty of swearing. He was definitely unique.

    however you really wanna jump on this bandwagon? personally I find the special characters annoying, and makes it hard to address someone by their name in chat

    I totally agree. They're obnoxious and difficult to read.
