After my post from last month - I decided to rent half a sim for my new club. With health issues I didn't want to risk renting a whole sim and risk losing my club again. With my new club with 120 members already - I have found this more comfortable to run without any worry or stress. I charge a L$50 joining fee which helps to keep the cheating alts away. The most I have at events is about 30 - leaving room for an extra 20. Using a fish bowl contest board, a few members add money to it which saves my money. My Dj's and Hostess only work for tips- with events there is no lag and everyone seems happy and chatty. So albeit, I am satisfied now.

Thank you moirakathleen.

For the past week I have ticked the box so new members have to pay L$50 to join my resort, These payments from new members are not showing in my transaction. I done an experiment with my alt - her payment to me does show in her account. Since i introduced this payment I had 91 members and up to date 102 - still no sign of payments.

Its a pity no creator ever made a gadget to stop more than 50 avatars entering on half a sim. They made a gadget to eject all males on a sim and half a sim, because I bought one sometime ago. Thank you for your options which I shall try.

Out of 60+ members only staff were tipping and donating towards the club. Was very rare for a member to tip and donate. I have made a joining fee now of L$50 to slow down my new members and their alts. My Landlady is one of the best in SL - but I like to keep my members at events down to 50 avatars. I'm just annoyed I cannot afford a full sim which would solve everything.

Thank you Fritigern. It seems only the way to run a club without annoying the neighbours. I will look into this.

Over the years my members have totalled over 2000. At events the sim would get full up which only renting half a sim I wasn't being fair to my neighbours. The Landowner wasn't too pleased and I began to go in panic mode. My only way out was to rent a whole sim - after a week with sleepless nights I couldn't afford to run a whole sim. I closed my resort, upsetting my members as I ejected them from my group to close it. I started a new group and already in a week my members are 80 - I've introduced a joining fee to slow members from joining. I just wish there was a way only allowed 50 avatars on half a sim at one time. I only wish LL would create half a sims only which would be better for clubs - only a few can afford a whole sim in the real world. With plenty of empty land in SL, I'm sure this could be made possible and give us people on low incomes a chance to forfill our dreams in SL.

For the past two-weeks its been drama from a manager in a female resort. I own a female resort and often dance at this other resort, because I simply enjoy it. She keeps telling me not to send my group im's when I have an event, because her members who are in my group might see it and go to my event instead. I reported her to the owner, but nothing changes. Do you think I should ignore her to stop anymore drama. I don't want to leave their group, because I have many friends there.

This may seem an usual question but it happened to me the otherday. If you lose your internet and you know you are going to be offline for sometime, Is it ok to telephone LL and ask them to pass a message to someone in SL to stop them worrying and no otherway getting in contact.

Is it true the Landowner can get a fine for example - If dj streaming music downloaded from youtube and its showning titles such as She loves you Beatles lyrics, rather than She love you - The Beatles.

Being a dj I would like to hide my song titles when I stream my music from others. I know I can hide them for myself but this method doesnt work for others. Just wondered if there was a way.

How come you get an IM pop up and someone begging for money and lots of others get involved - often telling that person to get a job or worse. How do they know your name especially if you have never heard of them before.

When you buy an item from a store and a pop up message says .Accept or Discard; If you click on discard by mistake, because it came up to fast. Is the owner suppose to refund or send item - once sending him the proof of payment. If he/she refuses can you put in a ticket.

Since I got scammed a few yearsago in Sl, I have been very wary of what I except. Often I get notecards sent to me from shops, etc. Is it safe to except a notecard?

It has now stopped showing script so please ignore previous meassge
