Keli Kyrie

So are you asking this because Lexie is so witty, intelligent and caring or do you just like her for her rank?

I have two different computers this is happening to. When Second Life is loading the process gets stuck on the Initializing VFS step. This has been going on since 10pm SLT. One computer freezes there one crashes. The one that crashes tries to send an error report but says it can't connect to the server. I have internet, I can connect to this page. Is there a server down in California or something?

But you know that at the drop of a hat we can party/chat/explore and have a darn good time. I never thought it necessary to "friend" you because we are already friends and that wont change because of anything. That would be my definition of a friend. Someone who isn't on your list, but you just know you can party with at any time. Sure your name is easier to search than mine but I know where to find you 8^) You are so right I have always known we were friends. I never thought about the fact that you were not on my list. You didn't need to be on my list we always hung out in the same places. BTW I thought I would show the reason I am hiding in the vase. It's because of your driving. :smileyvery-happy:

Venus Petrov wrote: @Keli, I mentioned that your friends might be shy (you would know better than I!). Are you suggesting that you are more shy than they are? Me shy? That would be a hard sell wouldn't it? But, but, but... I feel so shy on the inside. :smileysurprised:

@ Cali IMing will take some courage. What if they were just looking for a reason and took this opportunity to do it? :smileysurprised: @ Argus Hi Argus I was very happy to see that you kept me on your list. One note card for all five? I am not sure how I feel about that. A note card would be easier for sure but if I was going to take that road I would consider making a personalized one for each friend. @ Darren Really? Wow. I am not one to tell someone how to make or keep their friends so I'll just say it is not nice to laugh at anyone you have on your list. Well... unless the do something really funny... then it is okay.

In RL I have friends that live in different parts of the country so we don't talk that often but we are still friends. Just because I have not talked to them in 2 months doesn't make them want to dump me as a friend so I guess I feel things should be the same in Second Life. Maybe I will have to just have to get a drink, find a comfortable place to sit and settle in for a long night of IMing. Look at it this way, Keli. You could not be found in search. For all intents and purposes, perhaps some of those friends thought that you had decided to cancel your account and leave SL without a word to them. Your name would still appear on their friends list, however, until they removed you. Perhaps since you have returned, you have not talked to any of them. They suddenly see you appear as online after weeks and no peep from you. Maybe they were being shy in not speaking up. Life is too short to worry and wonder. Hi Venus, I went In-World for the first time last night after a two month absence. They had deleted me before I got there. It has been less then 24 hours since I got back In-World so hopefully no one feels like I have not peeped up to them yet. I'll just have to do some more peeping tonight.

I wish the private message had given more of a reason why such a title had been bestowed and how one might rise up in the ranks. Perhaps they have started a new ranking game and we need to find or make up the rules as we go along. You get honored here by just making a certain number of post. To get higher ranks you need some correct answers and kudos which you can get in SL Answers, Knowledge Base or the Creation Forums.

Try this and tell me if it works for you, it does for me. 1) Make sure you are logged into this page. 2) From here go up to the Shopping Button and click on it. 3) When you get to the shopping page hold your mouse over the word shopping to get the drop down menu. 4) Click on the Marketplace. This should auto log you into the Marketplace. It is working for me.

Anyways it happens all the time i clean my list every 90 days and the people that get deleted want added back they just do it lol. Never take it personal just im them if you want and ask,maybe im's got lost or you were gone for a lil bit things happen You make it sound so simple and I guess it is. It is very interesting to see the different points of view on this. In RL I have friends that live in different parts of the country so we don't talk that often but we are still friends.

Darren Scorpio wrote: SL "friends" are just really acquaintances no matter how much others tend to believe otherwise. If they deleted you, then they did not value your friendship enough to wait. Don't worry you will meet new people. So wise for such a young looking Avatar. Thank you.

Thursday is also the FC Hangout St. Patty's Day party where Mags is DJing, so I'm planning to stop by there as well. Either way I'll send you LMs and TPs galore. I won't be able to stay out too late though. I have an extremely early flight to catch the next morning. Yes she is 8pm, she IMed me this morning. If I remember what I saw on the sign at the hangout last night The St. Patty's Day party starts at 6pm.

Caitlyn Gothly wrote: I would send an IM and just ask. Sometimes people have a "clear out" of friends they didnt speak to for a while. I wouldnt take it personally though. Gluck! Cait I guess you could be right. There are people that like their world to be neat and organized and would likely go around cleaning up things like their friends list. Why they would want to be friends with me I have no idea you should see my inventory, stuff just thrown all over the place. :smileysurprised:

Dillon Levenque wrote: Your answer makes me nervous because of that "unpleasant answer" thing. What if I work up the courage to IM these people again, pour my heart out to them and then find out they want nothing to do with me. Then it will hurt a little more. But that's the choice we all have to make: try, or let it go and move on. Given the fact there's at least a plausible reason-- your unexplained absence--I would be inclined to try were I in your position. Don't know if I'd pour my heart out; I'd probably just explain that I'd been on hold and unable to reply to IM's for two months and would like to be friends again. You are wonderful Dillon! You are so level headed and fair. You have a way of explaining things that makes sense out of complex situations. :smileyhappy:

Finora Kuncoro wrote: Keli, it has been my experience that everything in SL moves quicker than RL. It is the standing joke that the average partnership in SL lasts 1 month or something like that (I've never partnered so bear with me here as I have no information to work from).... I've also observed that 20 something people (from my semi lofty vantage point of being in my 5th decade), tend to want to do everything in a hurry too. (Forgive my assumption if you are not in that age group). So you add the two together and you find some people will unfriend within a matter of weeks. In addition I've generally found that people I friend who are gone for more than 3 months (especially new people) tend to almost never come back to SL. Perhaps your "friends" are simply assuming you conform to the norm ? I'd IM the ones you want to stay friends with and see how they respond. 20 something? I LOVE YOU! This is better than getting asked to show your ID when you buy um... Drinks for St. Patrick's Day! :smileysurprised: Conform to the norm? But if they really knew me in the first place they would know I am not normal. :smileytongue: So you think I should IM them. /me thinks: "Be brave Keli be brave."

Peewee Musytari wrote: Are you sure they are all gone? I don`t know how long your list is, but I thought I had lost a friend the other week as she was always obvious up in the B`s, it turned out she had a new display name and had got refiled down in the R`s where it took a lot of scrolling to find her LOL I'll tell you a secret but don't tell anyone else... okay? Are you sure? Good, don't tell. I don't want this to get around or people will find a way to abuse it. With Viewer 2 if someone unfriends you their calling card ends up in your trash. If there is some problem with SL that night they just don't show up anywhere. :smileysurprised:

Some I just let go, but regarding 2 or 3 people I really cared about I did IM them to know why and if I went wrong with them. One reply was "because my friendlist is too long", lol. The two others (who were DJs when I owned a club sadly dead today), although being friends before they played at my club, simply were not interested in me anymore since the club had gone. :smileysad: If you care about these people, if I was you, I would certainly ask at the risk of an unpleasant answer... Your answer makes me nervous because of that "unpleasant answer" thing. What if I work up the courage to IM these people again, pour my heart out to them and then find out they want nothing to do with me.

Dillon Levenque wrote: A: I agree with Sylvia; if you want to stay friends IM them. They very likely assumed you were gone because of unanswered IM's to you. B: I IM'd Rondo last night because I was guessing you'd been given a month extra inworld ban and it had been about a month since you were allowed back to the Forum. I logged out like TEN MINUTES before you got inworld! I'd actually planned to get back on but I got totally RL'd and never even got back to my computer. Welcome back :smileyvery-happy: I am sorry I missed you. According to Torley we don't call it a ban we call it a hold. I guess when LL uses the word ban it means forever. I also noticed you are not on my friends list?!? (That is because you were on Keli I's list and not mine) I will fix this tonight if you like.

Quinn Morani wrote: I will fill one of those 5 newly empty slots for you! I've been planning to send you a friend request but was just waiting for word that you had actually finally made it back in-world. Now that you are, I'll get right on it tonight! I accept! Are you going to be a backup dancer again this Thursday? If so your first duty as a new friend will be to send me a LM or a TP. I tried to find it last night but it did not come up in search.

Sylvia Tamalyn wrote: Is it possible that they sent you IMs while you were gone, got no reply, and thought you had left for good without telling them? If it was me, and I still wanted to be friends, I'd IM them and explain what happened, and see how they respond. I talked to one friend last night (that did not unfriend me ) and she said she sent me lots of IMs worried about where I was and I didn't get any of them. As a matter of fact I had no IMs when I logged in but I know I got some because some of them went to email, but not all.

I had not been "In-World" for 2 months when I logged in last night and when I did to my surprise I had been unfriended... BY FIVE PEOPLE! The 5 people were all SL friends so we had no contact outside of Second Life. One was a long time friend. Meeting her was the most helpful thing that has happened to me in SL. She showed me where to get freebees and how to get started. Sure we didn't hang out everyday anymore but we would still meet up for a girl's night out once in while. Another I would hang out with 3 or 4 times a week and we would go dancing. So I think you are getting the point here. They most likely had no idea what had happened to me, but to cross me off their list?!? I have friends from college and sometimes we go years without talking but when we do we take off from where we left off. They don't unfriend me because I was gone for a little while. What do you think? Should I IM them and try to become friends again or should I just let them go? What would you do?

Pep (misses the double act that ironically has problems with other people having multiple personalities.) We all have our shortcomings. She was/is a fun read, though. I talked to her In-World last night. The best I could do was to get her to look at one of Live's old post. She seems to be enjoying her time away from the forums and it sounds like she is building a lot.
