We throw a party. The two parties that helped shape my forum experience were: Hippiestock I, and the church 'scene' that was started by you and wonderfully captured in an interactive photo by Madelaine. I really want to say that all fora are alike, but it just isn't true. SLF is my home; I rez here, chat here, and I make friends here. This forum is unlike any other (not that I have participated in so many) so when the going gets tough I say throw a party. As you wish. but do you think we can all get along for one day?

You might consider chosing your friends more wisely ... :robotindifferent: But they are all part of this strange and wonderful world and I love exploring it. What is wrong with making a few friends along the way? At least when I am friends with them don't burn down my house, well one still does, but we are trying to get her help. It is really a sad story... poor girl.

There is no mute button here and the Dragons, Trolls, and Vampires (virtual and metaphors) have just as much right to be here as the rest of us. How do we react when we can't walk away? You can walk away, you can always walk away. You don't have to react to everything and the thought process that drives people to that conclusion is one of the very things I avoid like the plague. It's also something I don't fully understand. Why do you feel you have to do(or say, or deal, whatever) anything at all? Even acknolwedging they exist is likely giving them more thought than they probably deserve at that time-if they truly are attempting to "ruin" an experience for others. That's a general you, of course. I just don't see any real reason to worry about it, at all. Everyone has every right to be here and provided we stick within the rules we're given, we all have a right to say and do as we please(here being inworld, forums and such). There are lots of things people say, and do, that others are going to dislike-greatly even. How we react to someone, or something is not dependent upon that person(or thing/situation), it's dependent entirely upon us. We don't have to do anything, though. Doing nothing is just usually way better than what most choose to do. I love ^^^this^^^ very well said. Hey where is the kudos button?

But they all come off the list once a year on May the 3rd, to see if they will behave. HEHEH! Everyone deserves a second chance! Peace! You are a wonderful and forgiving man Hippie I respect you for that. I love that you try to give people second chances, but I also see you as being open to SLers from all walks of life, am I wrong?

Amethyst Jetaime wrote: To each his own I say, just don't mess with my SL or force your opinions on me. I just pity the troublemakers because i figure their RL and SL has nothing going for them and the only way they can feel good about themselves is to make other people feel bad or ruin their experience. For the most part i just ignore them which really gets them mad because they just act that way for attention. Sometimes I just can't help myself and am a "little naughty" if they are really obnoxious just to show them that being nice and polite doesn't mean your a pushover. You never know standing up to people can sometimes win you a friend. Some people like a challenge so they push people's buttons when they find someone that does get all freaked out they get curious and friendships can grow.

Marianne McCann wrote: Well, given I'm friends with Puff, I'll sit back and watch. Though TBH, I've never personally seen them do anything that warranted a mute, thogh I do know of one who did mute them. Shhhhh didn't you read the disclaimer at the bottom of the picture?

Like griefers..people who **bleep** with other people because they think they are smarter than everyone else, but really they are just bedroom bound children at their computers who don't have a life. nuff said. Thank you Wiked. I can see you have some strong opinions and it made me very straight face for a while there, then I looked at your signature ♥lol♥ and it brought a smile back to my face.

Some people think whatever is true in Real Life should be true in SL. It is true you can see SL as an extension of RL but I think you will take all the fun out of it. For example my two friends below, let's call them Puff and Scuff. Puff likes to warm things up a bit, setting fires where ever she pleases and just causing general mayhem. Scuff on the other hand likes to poke his nose into what ever he can, scare people, and tries to eat their pets. We have all kinds of wild and crazy things, even Vampires in SL that would be more than happy to suck all the happiness out of you. Do you let them? Do you mute them? Do you make friends with them? Do you wish they were banned? And for you Hard Core SLers how do you deal with the Real Lifers that want to set rules for how you are to live your Second Life that want to tell you your SL experience is a reflection on your RL? Do you let them? Do you mute them? Do you make friends with them? Do you wish they were banned? We all see things from different points of view. I am not to saying one is right and the other is wrong, but they are different. When we are inworld there are ways to keep these different groups of people apart but here in the forums we all come together and there is no way to separate us. So how do you react to people that are very different from yourself? All characters appearing in this post are fictitious. Any resemblance to real or virtual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

I don't like all the complaining... people always are saying something is wrong like my Facelight is too bright or something like that. 

Keli Kyrie wrote: So here is the problem as I see it. There are so many great locations to choose from and by simply clicking on them it will take you straight there when you login, but...  Do you remember what you wore when you logged off? There is no option to change outfits first or even a button for “Remember This Location” (for after I get dressed). Anything would help really. Remember location or change outfits I am not picky, what do you think? I created a Jira to add a new feature: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-28824

I have not heard from her yet! HEHEH! Peace! Well it is a very funny story Hippie, I love it. It just goes to show that there are people who think they can do whatever they want, but in SL there are ways to get them out of your hair if you choose to do so.

(giggles) so did you unblock her when you unblocked everyone else?

I agree, thank you!

So I am not a very good planner, or a good builder but I made something maybe we can look at and talk about. This is 100 512x512 textures taking up 51 prims using mesh. (you could use 1024x1024 if you want but I did not have many textures that size) Far away or close up it looks good. Even the details. Like I said I am not a good builder so if we had a better model maybe we could get the count even lower. I made this on the beta grid and if anyone would like to look at it I can send them a copy over there.

So what is the best way to do this? I am picturing making the model then taking a picture. Then create an outline shape and texturing with the picture of my model. Is this a good way to do this?

Ahem.... okay here is what happened....ahem.... I totally logged off my computer before and tried it and it did not work but when you worte that I got to thinking... My cellphone is logged into Second Life all the time. So I just logged off my Dashboard, the Forums, The Feeds, and the Marketplace, then I turned around and did the same with my phone. Closed all the windows and reopened the Marketplace on my home computer.... Now it works YAY!!! Thank you so much!

Nope just tried everyone there is.... did not help.
