Dude, I haven't messaged you. Are you off your meds again? ETA: You know what? Please do. We both know how long that will last.

You're taking it the wrong way I think. Write the words, then add emphasis to how it sounds in your head. Does that make sense? it's that there's no context to frame around the joke without some sort of reference. I mean, you had to explain the joke anyway.. save yourself the step

No one asked you to change your opinion. They were asking to just simply stop. When your assertions are actively hurting people it's time to stop. But you don't. Like all dudes, you keep hammering away until you have the last word, spam stupid pictures to disrupt or stalk members until they're driven off the board. But hey who cares about the wreckage you leave behind huh? As long as you're right. oh, unless it all a 'social experiment' amirite? Do you really want to delve into SLU histories? okay then.. So, why did you enjoy taunting a real life Native American with her self-revealed social status. Her History. Or. better yet, white-splainin her religion to her? How about being asked, begged even, to stop equating someone getting their fee-fees hurt on a FORUM to actual real life rape? From actual RL survivors of rape. Oh and hey, how about stalking someone for two years, showing up right after they did in thread, after thread, after thread, not to add to whatever was being discussed, but to specifically target them? Congratulations you macho, macho man. You aren't a very good human being. Those are the best words I have for you. The rest are unprintable on this forum.

Jumping off this post to add to it, Pamela. (And I'm using 'you' in a general sense.) Correcting someone is not 'piling on'. Adding something like 'Hey it's Linden Lab, not Linden Labs." is informative, not an attack. Although, making that the only sentence in your post replying to their post is kinda trashy. Disagreeing with someone is not an 'attack'. It's an open board with many opinions, not everyone is going to agree with you. If you only want replies that agree with your position, start a blog. People post here from all over the world, but, except for the language specific forums, the default language is English. If English isn't a posters strong suite, patience is needed from both sides of the conversation. If a post is disjointed, ask them to clarify their points. Keep in mind that there are those who have English as a second language (or third or fourth) get their hackles up when someone suggests they aren't super-awesome communicating in English. Remember that it's a textual medium. Readers of your post aren't hearing the vocal inflection in your head unless you emphasize. Rya, I'm going to use your soup nazi reference as an example. No disparagement is implied. I've seen that Seinfeld episode and know it well. Until you posted the follow up, I didn't realize that that was what you were referring to. Honestly, it sounded as if you were being dismissive. The angry/frowny face sort of supports that. Another way to type that out might be something like: "No warm blanket for YOU!!" or "No soup warm blanket for YOU!" with a smiley to indicate you were joking. It's mostly the same words, but as you read it, can you hear the emphasis with your inner voice? It's a way to add depth and texture (see what I did there?) to your posts.

Stage whispers "The clever cat gets the mouse." or "While the cat's away, the mice will FEAST ON GLORIOUS CHEEEEEEEEEEESE!" it's ambiguous..

The old iteration had its faults, but that didn't include healthy (and even spirited) debate. To paraphrase, twasn't aggression that killed the forae, twas adding passive to aggressive. Luna calls it that to cast a negative spin on what is simply aggressive behaviors. Which is hilarious, since one of her modus operandi is to hammer away in a fairly aggressive manner and never ever backing down. Even, and especially, if there is a preponderance of evidence and argument that her position is incorrect or hurtful. All behaviors that one equates to a puffed up male ego or, dare I say, "macho". Now i want to listen to the Village People...

Visit the gif dance party, it rocks.

We are, I was just making sure, because the medium of posts doesn't always convey vexation and while I am many things, psychic ain't one of them. (And making a teaching moment on how communication resolves ambiguities that might otherwise cause conflict).

Well, the majority of my post count was from the prior iteration. I made a few posts on this iteration (hence only what? 10 reactions?) but the toxicity carried over at the beginning. I didn't find it so much fun, but to each their own. So are we good?

Luna, are you saying that alluding to your past behavior is somehow a flame?

Modus Operandi History, it's a beautiful thing.

If there's a moratorium on replying to a past post then I was unaware of it. I've only recently started reading this forae again. The topic was near the top. Two weeks is not a long time for this place. My post was meant in pretty much agreement with yours except one one salient point. As you can see, I was, at one time, posting frequently here for quite a while. Most of that posting was when this iteration of SL Forums was brand new. My recollection of those days were that this was an extremely toxic and contentious place. Innocuous posts were reported constantly. That was the warfare. Don't like somebody or disagreed with what they had to say? Report everything and hope something sticks hard enough for them to lose their account. That's why once I found the major 3rd party forums, I've rarely looked back. The current atmosphere here is comparatively rainbows, kittens and puppies. That was the point of my post. The history is wrong, and because of the shotgun reporting of posts, there isn't a record that can be pointed back to that affirms my recollections. So either believe me or don't, someone else's opinion is their opinion, not mine. And believe it or not, I'm entitled to my opinion of the past atmosphere. And more on topic, SL Forums are based on having an SL account. As far as I know, you must be at least 16 to have such an account. So, everyone on the board is supposedly and more or less adult. I post replies like I would speak to any adult. Finally, any snark you found in that post was your filter. None was intended. It was me, saying in a fairly light-hearted way, that I disagreed.

Oh my sweet summer child.

In a very meta way, that's the spirit of SLU. The thread goes where the thread goes.?

There are a good number of us that post there and still use SL. The new Forum will still have SL and Sansar sections, so it is still relevant to this forum. From what I understand, Cris is working on seeing if things like the scripting subsection can be moved over to the new digs. In any case the archive will be available.

I am an accomplished builder in the Sims venue, I am sure that I will be able to build my own home. It isn't the task of building but knowing the ins and outs of SL land rental and purchasing. It can be confusing and you need to be careful. Ceavat Emptor should be your motto.

I want to have my own private place to live in this wonderful virtual world. Try going to the premium sandboxes that are available (at least with your premium account). It's worth becoming Adult verified even if you don't plan on going to Adult venues. I've found Adult sandboxes to be relatively greifer free. (One incident in close to a year using a pretty popular one.) Sandboxes can be useful when your home sim is either down or having performance issues. They aren't all like the wild west.

It's more in the makeup than just slapping a skintone on. Try Heartsick skins, BND (Bird next door) and Bubbelz Design. Heartsick has some skins with an eye design that has a strong Asian look.They also have mens skins. BND has inexpensive but very well made skins.It's a strongly Asian influenced store. They have the shapes to go along with the skins and are a steal for their prices. I bought them for an Alt and was very impressed with the quality of both skin and shape. Bubblez has a couple skins in their lucky boards and are worth the time spent waiting for your letter to come up. Good luck!

Here's the steps to fix Ruth hair fix. Create a folder called "Avatar Fix" and put it in your Body sub folder. Put in copies of your usual shape, eyes, skin, bald base (or baldy). Personally I also add my usual prim hair as well as a pair of pants and a top (incase I need it on a G rated sim). Once you're done, right click the folder and choose replace. That will force it off. You'll need to replace your HUDS afterwards.

Do you mean your sinking into the regular ground or into prim floors? All my AV's will sink slightly into 'regular' ground, but not into prim floors unless the animation is wrong for the AV size. Are you using a regular AO, Firestorm's built in AO or no AO at all?

Tell them to turn the option off. * No glove, no love. *or have them buy a decent 'part' instead of using a freebie. or find guys that can do more than click.. In other words, have standards.

Well, I enjoyed socializing on the SL forum.

If you use phoenix (and a few other viewers), RLVa is a module that allows RLV enablement with those viewers. Go into preferences, look for some checkbox that says "Enable RLVa". Uncheck it. Log off and restart your viewer. Once done, I'd look at any prims you normally wear. I'll bet someone slipped an RLV scripted item or HUD to you. (that is, an object with RLV scripts in it.) One RLV command forbids removal of clothing layers.

I've answered this in the GD forum, but I'll add one that works here (and you don't need to wait for someone to send you a folder). Create a folder, name it "Replace with me if I'm a cloud (or noobified)". Put this folder in your Body Parts sub-folder. In that folder place a copy of your usual shape, skin, hairbase, eyes, prim hair (if any) and (if you hang out at PG sims) a top and pair of pants. If you cant bake (remain a cloud) or if you rebake and find yourself wearing ruthhairfix as a hairbase, right click on the folder and choose 'replace outfit'. Wait for your AV to fully bake. That is, that second 'fuzzy to sharp' rezzing of all the textures. This makes it easier and quicker to 'rebuild' your Avatar when this happens. You'll have to reattach any HUDs and prim clothing, but you'll be able to. Ruthhairfix is the debbil

Try TigerDirect / CompUSA (they're the same company now). I bought my system there for less than $500. They have at least 30 laptops with 4gb of ram for less than $650
