    Do you all think that Second Life is less sociable now than before?

    At RL parties, they aren't a bunch of people standing around AFK. If I wanted to chat in RL with someone that acted like most people do in SL at clubs, I would have to write a message on a post-it, stick to their forehead and hope they got back to me.

    When I was much younger, I found parties terrifying. So, I'd drink, get a buzz on before going to one. Sometimes enough of a "buzz" that I could barely remember the party when it was over. When I stopped drinking and determined that I would live my life in a different way, no matter how scary, I tried something new. I went to a party where I knew a few people but not most of the people. I started going up to people and talking to them. I worked my way around the entire party. A few folks were not very friendly, not very receptive. But most turned out to be pretty damned friendly. I was amazed at myself, so pleased, and so happy that I'd had such a good time and had MADE that good time happen. After that, me going to parties meant me engaging with as many people as I could. I do the same now in SL clubs. If those folks at a club aren't receptive or friendly, I find another club. I am determined to have a good time, to have pleasurable interactions with others.

    I am whatever comes out of my mouth at any given moment, or my fingers on the keyboard to be exact. Sometimes I log on and then am in SL. Sometimes I can't get into SL, I get off SL. Sometimes I am online and other times I am offline. And right now I wish George Carlin could just say this stuff for me. And do the whole Stuff routine, too. But I digress. I don't watch from above like a goddess or demon, but sometimes I wish I could. Closest I can come is when I use the World Map and see all the little green dots. I wish I could get closer but that would be perving. I mean really perving, right?

    What are you listening to?

    Not sure this is ok, but it's what I am listening to lately.  Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire series. My partner is reading the print versions and I am listening to the Audible versions.  Love these stories. Not the same as the TV version, as you might expect.

    I didn't make the rules. I'm just adapting my game play in response to how most other people play. Hate the game, not the player.

    You know, I thought you were having a negative or cynical reaction to experiences in a particular club. Now I think you mean you see SL as a game, literally... a video game of sorts. Never having been a "gamer", I can't relate to this. I might play a game in SL, like Greedy or (as I did tonight with a bunch of crazed tinies) Bingo. But I don't feel or experience my time in SL as a game. I don't see other people, whether appearing as humans or cats or mice or monsters, as players..I experience them as people living their lives in one way or another. Hard to explain how I feel in SL..but even harder to understand how you feel. Perhaps if you went to a club and saw it as a party and treated the people there the same as you would treat them at a RL party, your experience in SL would be better? Just a maybe to consider.

    In fact we did go somewhere else and it was immediately visible, so I assumed it was because my house was on moderate land.

    Were you in the house or outside? I don't think the interior of your home even if it's on Moderate land should be affected. But you can click on the button that makes it impossible for others to see what you are doing if they are OFF your property. Or maybe you have clicked on something that makes certain things disappear? Check the Options and see what you have turned on or off. Scripted "baskets" might be affected...tool chests..jewelry boxes...?

    So it's not just me that's getting absolutely spammed lately.

    I'm about up to HERE with the dancing trees spams! I've tried everything and nothing stops it. Best I can do is never ever spend a dime in that place. Grrrrr.

    And, no, I don't belong to the group and never did. I probably wandered onto their sim once or twice..ack!

    It would be nice if we could cut the head of the snake off and everything related to them across all their accounts gets blocked too.. But we know that's not happening..

    I so wish we could do that! Not spending a Linden dime there makes me feel better, but it's not enough. What can we do?!

    LL really needs to give us a tool to block these at the source in some form.

    Yes yes yes!

    I actually wound up befriending a lot of people because we were the only ones who weren't zombies and were willing to shock gasp chat in local.

    Some of my earliest club experiences were fairly unpleasant.   I'd hear about a popular place, I'd go check it out, find it very crowded and local chat VERY quiet. If I bothered to stick around long enough, I might see some local chat by a small group. Because they knew each other and had common experiences, their chat was essentially private. If I had no clue what they were discussing, I'd stay quiet and soon leave. When I did find a club where new arrivals were greeted by hosts and others, I'd stick around longer and would often end up joining in on a discussion when I had something to add. Making friends came later as I would get to know the regular chatters. Two things I learned and felt from the beginning...it feels bad to be ignored and it feels good to be included. To this day, because of those early feelings, I am almost compulsive about greeting new arrivals in clubs and sometimes other places.  I make an effort to update that person if they arrived in the middle of a discussion (or round of silliness) and, if all works well, the newbie picks up the thread rather quickly.

    The thing is, a lot of clubs are more about keeping the place crowded with people who tip...numbers matter...than they do with making customers feel comfy.  I like music, i like dancing, I like local chat. I don't go to clubs to talk to one person in IM . I go out into the world (clubs, etc.) to be sociable. If somebody wants to hear the music but NOT interact with others, they can often find the stream the dj is using and listen from home or while building or sailing or whatever.

    well if you're dancing with somebody you start floating

    Hmm...I can't remember if that's happened to me while dancing with somebody on a couples pose.  Often one or the other of us is too high off the floor or feet down IN the floor, but that can be fixed sorta kinda by doing the hover adjustment.

    But yeah, the slider is set to 100 😜. I need it for the animations and group poses to work.

    What do you mean about the slider set at 100 for animations and group poses to work? What kind of animations and poses...for photos? One more thing I never heard before in SL. Forever noobie...

    You'll only have 30 seconds to rename the hud, which should be enough time..

    You are so cute when you are being serious!  "-)     I probably dropped four of them on the floor for 30 seconds. For me, a week isn't long enough.

    Here's a link to the video I watched to help you get a more visual sense of how it all works. It should start at the right section (28:13). Hope this helps!

    Ah, that helps!  And now I think I understand 3rd party. I almost never use the Lel hd items, except for lashes. I use other makeup components so I guess that means 3rd party. Who is 2nd party, btw. So, maybe I can actually figure out more things. I am not a lost cause just yet. Yay me!
