SL never had these problems when i started. v2 does not suck. i've had a much easier time designing with v2 than i did with any other viewer. meshes suck? Why? web on a prim rocks! Why do you say it sucks? LL sucks? LOL! Teens suck? You suck, not the teens. No gambling, hooray. If I want gambling i head over to Vegas for a couple hours. Does "No Pitbull fighting" suck as well to you? What the hell do you mean by "sucks" anyways. How about: Dog Boat sucks /me shrugs Old farts that can't cope with change suck. change isnt always good my naive little friend. you will learn that as you get older. are posts being removed?

The investors want you naked and on a rack 24/7 just for a couple L$, and then they don't give you enough and then they demand their money back. Keep in mind L$25,000 is only about $100USD. If they've only given you that much you can keep it, it covers the hour or so spent in time just meeting with them. Interesting. So a second life content creator commands at least $100 USD per hour wage? Considering the minimal cost of items in SL and the low ROI, $100 USD could be considered considerable bank for most. What specifically do you think the creator was not "given enough for?" Yes, behind every avatar is a RL person. Designer's want at least 50/hour or they probably aren't even worth it. You get what you pay for. You can get minimal cost items yes, even from me. But when you want a custom project (needs funding) then expect RL prices. dream on.

Your 10 second orb is downright rude, unless it's set up where it would be impossible for anyone to enter its zone by accident. Zedd Zeddmore's orb is L$100 and has all the features anyone would want. You blame the need for an orb on tresspassers, but your need is equally attributable to your own desires. You have the right to buy land you can set up ban lines on. You have the right to use a security orb. You have the right to put people on your ban list. But do you have the right to expect everyone to share your values? I say you do not, even though your values may be perfectly reasonable. i have the right to expext everyone on my land to obey my rules. if had enough of twits like you thinking they can dictate what i do on the land i pay for. rent your own land, then you can do as you wish with it. duh.

  5. i had given up complaining but you asked... v2 sucks. meshes suck. web on a prim sucks. LL suck. teens suck. no gambling sucks. SL never had these problems when i started.
  6. if linden labs were a start up company they wouldn't last a year the way they are operating. they only allow free membership because SL sucks.

I payed for my membership and have bought some items with RL money. Though i never expected to be treated the way i have been by some of the most vicious members i have ever come across in game play in the history i have been playing games. This is not how an online community should be conducted, i'm really shocked. I can't believe i have invested money into this game to have lousy response as a paying customer. I have been threatened and kicked out of places because certain members knew the "owners". This is ridiculous that people can not enjoy a simple game. I don't think this is for me and i commend those who put up with this type of gameplay. It's unbelievable to me and baffling. this isn't a game, its a mirror of real life, so its not simple. you will find though, that your attitude will help or hinder you. and owners generally don't kick people out on the hearsay of others, if they do there are plenty of other places to go. if they all kick you out then you should begin to question your behavior. it can be fun
  9. i wouldnt trust anyone with my money in SL. too easy to get out of a contract. no-one needs vast amounts of money here anyway, and as for the ones that want a free sim for their startrek academy/ role play area/ pfft, dreamers.
  10. so you want to quietly kill stuff without arguments or screaming. ok.

Cavey Charlesworth wrote: Yeah, I do go normally but I know some people who want to listen who can`t log into SL at the time and it is an actual venue that was asking me so their website could allow people to listen when they can`t get into SL. I agree with the "You had to be there" bit but the flip side is that it allows more people to listen to the event than would normally be able to be there. Big clubs like Ambrosia, Rez, Big Daddy`s would might be able to raise their audience numbers if their websites could play what those there could hear... Yes you could potentially have people who would listen without going there but i go with the thinking of "If it is the venue asking me if it can be done, then they are fine with that potential drop in actualy traffic to the site......" Does anybody know if it is even possible though to stream things like this? Is it possible to get itonto an external site? Pj. many venues rent streams which cost per listener, 50 to 100 being normal, 200 listeners for example would max the stream and the SL Venue would suffer a lot of sound cutting out for its customers. i think thats why most hide their stream Address (or try to).
  12. if it is the truth i cant see a problem with putting it in your profile. and i can't see anything in the TOS that forbids the truth.
  13. here is an example: resident goes to club and is banned because the club is racist in the residents opinion. resident then states X club is racist in profile. is that defamation or the truth ? thats where things get murky...
  14. who is to say that what he or she says did or didnt happen, thats the point.

The person then put into their Profile that we are bad people and that our club does things that it does NOT do..It is all lies and it is defamation of us and our club. We immediately sent in all the information asked for by ALL. We couldn't explain much since it does not allow many characters in the information box, nor will it let you attach a notecard. It has been WEEKS...with no response...not to mention the person STILL HAS THIS INFLAMMATORY INFORMATION ON THEIR PROFILE. WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR OUR SIM AND FEEL WE SHOULD GET SOME SORT OF RESPONSE...AND AT THE VERY LEAST INSIST THAT THE PERSON REMOVE THAT INFORMATION WHICH CLEARLY IS A VIOLATION OF TOS. HAS ANYONE EVER HAD A RESPONSE? its your word against theirs. just because you "pay a lot of money" should not give you an advantage in a personal dispute. LL do not get involved with personal disputes anyway. he said she said...

But I wouldn't want to have strangers wandering in while I was there. its never clear cut though, once i had a fairly large argument with an ex GF because our bed had been used and i was of course blamed, another time a couple just rezzed in our home, 2 weeks ago someone just appeared in our garden and started talking to us, quite unwanted btw and kicked out. kinda breaks the mood eh? after reading the arrogant posts of some of the members here i decided to get full security 2 days ago. ok you may say, big deal, but its another hassle i can do without, forced on me by people who think its fine to do whatever they like wherever they like. respect, try it sometime. Hmm, I think I was following the worng topic. In the topic I'm following I can remember just one poster that was repeatedly arrogant. how so?

  20. I rent land on a private estate, yet i have full rights terra, media, ban, pass etc. its all rented anyway. you never own land here.

Just give 'em enough time to leave before they're stuck in a funny animation and you're stuck with a vehicle on your property. my orb is 10 seconds, it was free and no mod. i can't say i care about you and your vehicle on my land. you aren't wanted and i dont pay my tiers to cater for others. 5 mins indeed, lol. If you've got an orb that kicks people out already, what are you complaining about? Keep using it and live with the loss of a single prim (it shouldn't take more than one), or accept the consequences. My advice was to people who want to keep tresspassers out without inconveniencing anyone. set it up an hour ago. i lose a prim. shouldnt have to but thanks to you and others trespassing i cant avoid it. thanks again.

Not only do I not mind people using most of them, I even have a pair of Stargates (best way to get around SL, hands down) on my parcel just so people can find it, and an all access teleport pad near them to easily move around. If you're going to build something interesting, show it off, I say. If you don't want people on your parcel, put up a sign, or put up ban lines- but by everything holy, don't use a 10 second orb or ban lines just inside a sim crossing. They're hell on vehicles. i ask you to refer to the threads title. signs are pointless in a moral free world. ban lines are not allowed where i am. an orb system appears to be the cheapest way forward as i can easily make one. i can't factor your requirements on land that i pay for. besides, some want to show the builds they make, i dont, i just want a peaceful SL.
  24. Tolya Ugajin wrote: Perfectly OK. It's not RL - it's SL. The mess is easy to clean, and there ARE ways to keep people out if they want to. But, if you get yelled at, it would behoove you to say "sorry - I'll leave now" and be polite. its a pity you said that. it basically means there are no morals required. and you cant stop camming unless you have your own sim.
