I do agree though, chocolate, especially the drizzling over body part form, is very appealing. But that can also be said for any of the juicier fruits, such as peaches, another favourite. "I could eat a peach for hours." *swoons*

speaking of spiders, did anyone see this news item yesterday? Spider webs prompt Mazda recall

Mornin' folks! TGIF!

Aaaand, I'll just put one here for everyone who's arrived thus far.

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other. The folks who want to find it...will.

*waves to Hippie and everyone else by the fire* Hiya!

well...it depends...on the situation. Dark chocolate is preferable over milk chocolate. Nibbling chocolate with strawberries and champagne...mmm...lovely Dribbling chocolate syrup over various body parts and then tasting......delicious

Don't know if she is still there, but the sculpture was at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Celadon/62/206/21

Chocolate...definitely chocolate.

The problem with ranks, as I see it, is not that they cause people to ignore those of lower ranks (I don't actually belive that really happens much). The problem is that it seeds this idea of division Yes, as you say, there are multiple problems with ranking. But I don't share your belief that people don't pay attention to them. I believe that LL and the companies that create website software like this platform have done their research, so I tend to think that social research done about DIGG and Yahoo and other sites that use ranking probably concludes that users asking questions pay attention to rankings. I'm sure LL views rankings as a tool that can help make this site more self-managing. I further believe that, rankings being akin to The Love Machine in that both are reputation management tools, LL would never consider disabling that feature here.

For example, n SL's older forums, I was fairly active from Jan 2007 until their closure. Over half my posts were answers to questions such as those now in SL Answers and the Content fora. Ah well, good times! Nowadays I'm fairly happy at SLU. And, outside of SL, I've managed to be content on a technical forum or two. :smileywink: But, although the software platform is improved, I think LL's increasing dependence on popularity as a measure of value is too distasteful to spend a lot of time here. I will drop by to ask questions, and for every question I ask I'll try to answer a few. Have fun, all you regulars! *waves to Nika* You made me go look for my listing from Resident Answers

whoa! I wonder why that is....??

I know, CMOQ...there are male shapes and skins in that Clothing folder in the Library (a bit misleading, I agree).

Hi CMOQ, and welcome to SL. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Inventory-system-folders/ta-p/700095 If you look in your inventory, there's a section that says "Library." There's a folder there that says "Clothing" - and there, you will find Linden Lab's (free) avatar selections. Try a few to see what you like There's video about this: http://vimeo.com/4167344 Then...when you've been here a bit, you can think about swapping your free avatar shape / skin for ones more like what you'd prefer. And yes, as Paola mentions, there are lots of places for new SL residents to obtain free skin/shapes/clothing (I believe your account has to be less that 30 days).

I much prefer Phoenix to either of the SL viewers. Much easier to use.

OMG!!

This is from this past summer, but.. I still like it.

Hi Jaime. Hope all goes well. Often requests for assistance with surveys are met with....cranky or frustrated responses. I completed the survey for you. (Didn't take long) There were a few questions which were a bit vague, but overall not a bad survey. Cheers!

True...but she's not "my" Pants.

I couldn't, actually. As I was an infrequent visitor here.
