Six years ago when I joined SL, I was a guy who chose a girl avatar. Now, six years later, I'm a girl, playing with the same girl avatar. Was SL responsible for this? I don't know, at least I don't think so, I've always chosen a female carachter in any game, however, SL is not a game like any other and certainly does affect one on a mental level much more so than your everyday run off the mill games. I highly doubt SL was the cause of my gender dysphoria, although it most probably played a big role in making me reach my realization. I've spent a lot of time researching the affects of immersion of this level. I came accross a study, called the Proteus effect, which is all about how the avatar influences it's operator, although the study does not take gender identity into account, there certainly is a measurable influence generated by your avatar on yourself. well, that's my 2 cents worth

So I got this idea the other day, when I tried to log on to SL, to find that some low life using the same ISP as me, and obviously the same IP pool has been banned. This is not a big deal as all I have to do is renew my IP. But this got me thinking, its totally ineffective, if I can bypass it so can the banned individual. Common knowledge really. Back in the day, noobs where locked in at orientation island, and couldn't access the main grid unless they "passed" all the tests. That being said, why cant LL make a prison island for banned individuals? like Australia, lol.. have them log in, but have them restricted to sharing their crappy existance with other griefers/unsavory folks on a secluded island, for as long as it takes for them to serve their prison term. Heehee, they could even get visitation rights if they behave, lol.

I'm waiting for the abolition of wealth/money/currency

in a nutshell: An item/object is copyrighted as that type of item/object. So, a hairstyle is copyrighted as a hairstyle. Taking a screenshot of an Avy wearing said hairstyle is not an infringement, because you are not re-creating the hairstyle, you are creating an image. hairstyle = hairstyle image != hairstyle

3D printing... as in a tangible 3D model? like an action figure? I would pay copious amounts of money to be able to get my hands on an action figure of my SL avy Time for me to start searching the web to see if I can get me one of those

We have "recent items" and that is handy, but sometimes you crash or log off without checking those 10 items purchased on MP and when you log back on again it is hard finding the new amungst the old... at least thats how I roll with my messy inventory, if you crash ..just go to your recent items and choose show filter..then at the bottom of the filter just put in the hour or day you wish to go back to..those items will show up =) You can do that ?!?!? my life just got so much easier Thank you Ceka

nice

I would have to agree with Randal, for me it also seems as if Singularity is best when it comes to limited resources.. The only downside to Singularity I know of is it does not support multiple clothing layers (Unless there has been an update I dont know off)

Now I get asked "How do you do xyz in V2, or v3" and I have no idea (those work much worse for me on my small graphics chip) I don't think Linden considered that V2 is *not* easier to use than V1, *OR* that community support would be badly affected either. And to be honest, I do not see *any* features of V2 that are compelling. More Viewers = Less support for newbies; True or False? So what are you suggesting? That SL stagnates and never improve to keep up with current trends and technology? Are you still using Windows 3.1? Newbies dont know how to use a feature in V2 or V3 not because the viewers are less easy to navigate than V1. If they were newbies on V1 they still would not know how to use a feature, because they are newbs, not because one viewer is more difficult than another.

So what does one do? do we report them or just ignore them? I'm partial to ignoring them myself, heehee seems less effort, but I cant help but think that this may end up biting me in the ass some wa,y some day. lol
