  1. Ah Dilbert is just mad because during the whole RedZone fiasco he was constantly saying he wasn't using it and never would.  Then one day somebody cammed down at the TP point at his place and low and behold there was a redzone unit clicking away.  He had the sensors turned off so it could only scan things near it (which is why it was at the TP point) and it couldn't be detected by the GreenZone hud at that time.

    I think they should fix that thing that wipes out an account completely if a payment is missed for too long or whatever. Most premium members/land owners have huge inventories, I'd hate to guess how many $$ spent.

    Why don't  they fix that so it goes to basic instead or back to a free account. With inventory intact?

    Well Rodvik has said they are working on this so I imagine with the new push towards getting premium members it will be done at some point.  But I agree that this needs to be taken care of.  Simply making it to where you lose your Linden Home and everything inside is jetted back into your inventory as you account is shifted back to Basic is the best way to go in my opinion.

  3. Wow.  Well I've just been calling it the SL Thingy all this time.  Always heard SLumming in reference to residents that don't have a home and live out of sandboxes and abandoned building on abandoned land that had the rez left on.

  4. At the very least they should have a cafepress shop set up.  It would be a zero cost (except paying their guy who is already on staff to load up the pictures and set up the store) form of advertising.  Those who buy them would be the best people to bring others into the world, the very residents who make it up.  Plus it would gauge the interest out there for what direction to go next for marketing.  If shirts are selling then expand there, if mousepads and coffee cups are flying out the door then that's where you go.

    But, alas, I don't see it happening.

  5. It wouldn't suprise me at all to see something like this going on.  Copybotters will do just about anything to get copies of the latest fashions to rip and sell as their own.

    However I see it more likely that they may try to start up a legit club and run their copybot system hidden there.  If they are avi based then they would simply put them behind the walls or under the floors so they wouldn't be seen.  An active club of real people would draw in more of the money spending folks (who will have the latest fashions) and keep them there.  Because those who do spend their lindens inworld (like myself) expect to be entertained when they go someplace and tip.  Bots just aren't that entertaining... except when they are malfunctioning.

  6. I was having problems similiar to that with V2/Firestorm.  Finally one day I switched the hairbase I had always worn before with a different hairbase (both were bald since the hair I use covers my head) and suddenly no more problems.

  7. I was having a similiar problem although my screen wouldn't go just white.  Usually it had a slight color tint to it.  Finally figured out that it was my graphics card overheating (using a laptop with a cooling pad).  Finally had to rig up a few ways to keep it cooled off.  So I assume most graphic card issues may have a similiar result.

    I've also noticed that it overheated faster when using a V2 viewer, Firestorm to be exact, than it did with any V1 viewer.   Not sure if your problem may be related or not.

  8. I like Woodrow Darkfold aka Dro the Last.  Although lately he's had to scale the number of his sl performances way back since his rl performance schedule got busy.

    He does all original song with a very interesting slant on hip hop.  Quite unique.  If you get the chance to hear him at least give him a listen.

  9. Sigh... one of these days I'm going to make myself a nice home.  Currently I just have a Linden one as my personal home and share My Mistresses home with her.  I have to give you two thumbs up though, your home looks very nice.

  10. I can build things in SL while in RL I can't even drive a nail.

    Socialize with people, in RL I have quite a bit of social anxiety in SL it's a lot easier to walk up and say hello.

    I've also accomplished skydiving off of just about anything I can get up on.  So I suddenly show up on top of your skybox don't worry I probably just landed on it after jumping off the one above you, I'll be leaping off of yours in short order.  If you see me landing with my chute on feel free to ask how many things I hit on the way down.

     

    Edited for bad spelling....

  11. I'll just chime in to say that the ranks will probably never really bother me.  I can see some of the points against it but I can also see some of the points for it.  I guess it will be something that will have to be watched over time and adjusted.  Like say if someone who suddenly gets youtube rights starts flooding the threads with them.  Personally the amount of videos that popped up over on the old style became a large hassle sometimes and added very little to the thread at large.

     

    Anyways I spend more time in world than I do on here.  So the amount it will affect me is very little.
