    First let me restate, I am not saying there is anything wrong with the pool area. As I said at the very beginning of this thread that they are beautiful places. I am however questioning why the community at large does not use it. I began by asking myself why I don't use it and I laid out those reasons along with some solutions that I thought of. What I'm asking the community to weigh in on why they do not use it. So far some people seem to agree that if they could rez their own stuff they would use it more and some people are providing me with many solutions on how I could use it, I appreciate that. The fact remains that these areas seemingly go on unused. Where's the community in these community spaces? I know all about the pickle parties, I've been to a few of them and met many friends there. I'm not trying to pester the Moles or pull them away from building more houses but wondering where my neighbors are and why meeting them in these community areas in so uncommon. Are they sitting in their homes or on their platforms? Are they in group chat or here on the forums? Does it have to be an announced gathering to come out to one of these spaces and meet? Would you for just one day leave your comfort zone and stand around the pool the same as you stand in your living room. Shopping on marketplace, in group chat or on the forums not by yourself but some of us together as a community?

    I have a bumper boat game that's a lot of fun to play, and I can put the rezzer out for others to get a boat. I was at a rez area on the water the other night, and asked in group if anyone wanted to come, and no one did. Of course, it was after 11pm SLT, so bad timing on my part. But yes, better planning could make for an awesome pool party. 

    I just suck at planning :(

    Wearables are not really ideal.

    Avatars have different heights. Since you attach those objects, depending on your height, the object will or will not look correctly positioned. That also depends of what kind of shape you have, not everyone is in human shape.

    Wearables adds to the avatar complexity, and that specific issue is actually pretty bad at this moment due to the mesh body and incrediby exesive complex clothing. It just lags everyone around.

    Wearables don't have colission, others can't sit on them. It limits the functionality you can get.

    If we are talking about furniture, you are pretty much stuck standing or sitting in one spot. It looks ridiculous if you simply try to move around normally.

    What kind of platform forces you to be all glitchy around with random objects attached to yourself? Ideally, you should interact with objects on the enviroment, not wear them as fashion.

    My AO disagrees. I can and do have complex and smooth dances and animations with other avies.

    And only rigged mesh isn't adjustable for size or position.

    I do agree that many wearables are too complex. That's why I never wear them. Creators are capable of making them better, some just don't or won't for whatever reason.

    Anyway, I still think is more feasible.

  3. Instead of asking for rez rights on public land, why not ask creators to make the things you like wearable? If they think there's a profit to make, most are happy to do it. Some will even give you one for free just for coming up with the idea.

    It's much more feasible, and doesn't take resources away from where they need to be.

  4. Someone mentioned a drive-in theater in another thread. That'd be fun too. 

    An area for board games, like Greedy or somesuch?

    I love that Boardwalk idea too. 

    I was just thinking of things to do, like a RL town. After all, you can only decorate, and re-decorate so many times before you just feel like doing something else for a little while. Plus, I think it might foster a closer sense of community. For those of us on the shy side, it could make it easier to participate, and make new friends. Or hang out with old ones 😊

  5. I was playing around in Belli tonight, and had a few thoughts about things to do. I was (briefly) the games manager for Greenies a looong time ago, and I really miss the big race track and the laser tag game we had.

    Bumper boats and bumper cars! With damage enabled of course.

    A roller rink might be fun.

    OH! A golf course. SL golf is fun :)

    Anyhoo, if the Lindens and Moles haven't already thought of it, maybe we could throw a few good ideas at them for Belli.

  6. People can do what they like on the Fairgrounds as far as I'm concerned, and I can exercise my right to participate or not.

    I also have a right to turn off the tv, radio, etc. 

    But seriously though....I hate deep dish, and pineapple pizza too. That ain't pizza.

    Wow. Another failed region release today and I got put in time out for trying to refresh to actually get a house!!! I'm seriously debating cancelling my premuim because I amongst several other people are getting ripped off right now lol.... 

    It's not a failed region release. You just didn't happen to get lucky so far. My auto refresh is set to 1:06 and I haven't been locked out. (time out is for children).

    If you cancel your premium account, you won't get a refund. The account will cancel when the time paid for runs out. No one is being ripped off, since there are plenty of Linden Homes available. Just not the ones we want for now. It'll settle down soon enough. 

    Try to relax. It's just a game, and if it's not fun for you, just unplug for a while.
