There should be something in TOS against a merchant sending multiple note cards a week, IM announcements, landmarks and demos to someone who isn't interested. There should at least be a way to opt out in every note card or IM announcement that is sent. Not to do so is spam and spam is illegal in the United States. Who's with me? I'll spam you if I damn well please... if you refuse to buy my anti-shark ointment, I will release my man-eating hordes on you. Feel my wrath... Dres

And here I thought, at least in the forum, I'd be safe from pre-Halloween Christmasness. Guess I'll just have to necropost here when I'm ready to face it. Until then, here's the pick I took for my card last year... The tree alone was about 150 prims, but well worth it. ...Dres

They chose to ignore our feedback because, once again, the Lab knew best. After they implemented diaplay names (along with a revamp of the whole signup/new user experience) and the numbers of completed signups rose the Lindens were convinced that they were correct after all. Sadly, while the numbers of people finishing the signup process rose, the numbers of people who actually logged in again didn't. I don't blame display names for the fact that concurrency has remained flat (or dropped slightly) in the face of increasing completed signups. There are many reasons for that, IMO and those possible reasons have been raised and discussed on these forums for years. I do know that every single one of the new people I've helped since display names were introduced have at some point in their first weeks of joining have asked, "why can't I have a real last name?" Maybe the top Lindens should hang out more in world talking to their customers or reading various forums and blogs to get a feel for what we really want and need from SL. I won't even get into all the nonsense names brought about by the abuse of Unicode and ASCII characters. Grrr... :smileymad: LL can't be dense enough to not have taken into consideration that a lot of the new signups, right after the change was implemented, was actually people running to sign up single name alts with names they either wanted or didn't want anyone else getting. Why couldn't the user name system be slightly modified to be able to include spaces? Then anyone could have however many names they want... what's the big deal? ...Dres (Then, I could create a new account with the name Eurydice Colette Clytemnestra Dido Bathsheba Rabelais Patricia Cocteau Stone... is that bad?)

Okay so I probably need some sleep, but I was half way through reading this whole thread when I realized I had already read this whole thread back in august when it was still alive. There was another thread just started, about the same exact thing, to which you could have posted instead (link). ...Dres

However I do not think anyone is reading Forum Feedback. Maybe I need to put this thread over in the Vampire subforum. Someone at LL seems to be interested in it. Perhaps they are just too busy deleting threads left and right from that subforum to be bothered with the incessant spam infestation of subforums that users actually care about. Just a thought. ...Dres

Hmm, the Lab keeps the "feedback" section somewhat hidden. Interesting. Wonder if anyone at the Lab or their worker-bees actually sees this? I'm quite sure that, at one point, things were actually paid attention to here. I'm also quite sure that this is no longer the case. ...Dres

Amethyst Jetaime wrote: If you truly want to have your avatar act in a unique manner, don't buy a preloaded AO. Your avi will just move like thousands of others. Buy each animation separately and only those that express 'yourself' then buy a empty HUD or get a free Zhao to put them in to use. Personally I use a Huddles that I set up with several 'sets' of animations I bought separately and choose which set to use that reflects my mood or what I'm doing. I have a set for business, once for casual socializing, a flirty set and some specialized ones for certain roleplay or avatars. All these are in one HUD that I can just click a button to tell it which set to load and play. The HUD also holds all my dances, which can also set up by musical genre or mood. This approach requires a bit of extra work, but is well worth the effort. You can also buy a decent preloaded AO then add other animations that you like to it, in order to individualize it. Individual animations can add up very quickly and you could easily end up spending a lot more money putting together an AO from scratch than you might if you bought a set. I found this out when I put together one for my alt... my main has a preloaded set that I've added to and works very well, but it isn't as nearly as nice as the one I put together for my alt, piece by piece. A warning: when I was purchasing the individual animations for my alt, I noticed that some animations that were included in more expensive sets were exactly the same as ones found in cheaper sets by the same creator; therefore they were also cheaper when bought individually. So, it pays to research thoroughly before you make the actual purchase. Also, I use viewers with built in AOs and find it much easier than having to add animations to a hud. Plus, that's one less hud you have to wear and hud AOs are usually very heavily scripted... which is something that should be avoided if at all possible. ...Dres

I have respect for any sim I visit.I cause no problem for anyone, anywhere I go.I am an adult and I do visit adult themed venues.I visit lots of places actually and I spend money out of my rl pocket in a lot of stores.I also am one of the nicest people you will meet. I stumbled into a sim yesterday,ended up there by accident.I opened my search window to redirect myself.I noticed on the chat window someone was asking me if Iwas an escort.The area had not rezzed,I couldn't see who was talking to me,I answered no,was told that because of my picks I had to be one,and what was I doing there.Then this owner or manager,I am assuming also commented that I was an escort cus my **bleep** bounce and then made fun of my profile,how could I be shy and an escort.And I do understand about looking out for the best interests of your spot,after all it is yours.But,I honestly did not mean any harm,I was just lost. I did tell her that she was very opinionated and should not draw conclusions about people and I got the heck out of there.I really do not think I deserved to be treated this way. There should be a list for last picks,this spot would get my vote. Now I am super paranoid that my body is bouncing in a sleazy way and I really am not the upbeat person that I usually am in world. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. What sucks is that people will judge you by your appearance and by what is written in your profile. I haven't seen your appearance so I cannot tell you my opinion of it. But I have seen your profile, and if I was to be so preoccupied with someone that I felt I would need to judge them on their profile alone, I'm sorry to say so, but I would think that you are an escort. I don't care whether you are or not... but if you don't want people to look at your profile and automatically think you're a whore, then change it... how simple is that? ...Dres

I believe LL have made some attempt to filter some of the more commonly used words in these posts... that's why "versus" was blocked for a while. Last time I tried typing P.r.o.j.e.c.t R.u.n.w.a.y it was also blocked... actually it still is (hence, the periods). But these things are easy for them to get around... there has to be a better way for LL to combat this. There have been discussions about this at CTUGs, but I don't believe a consensus was ever reached as to what should be done. For just about every proposition that was thought of, it was quickly realized that there would be definite negative consequences for normal users. Perhaps we should start a discussion about what we think can be done to tackle this in the Forum Feedback subforum, weigh the pros and cons and bring it up again at a future CTUG. Meanwhile, I've noticed that these posts usually don't last too long, thankfully. ...Dres *will keep diligently RICing the bitches* ETA: I meant to reply to the OP... oh well.

Lee Ponzu wrote: The tool I always imagined... Create an object inworld, using prims. Click a button and it is converted to a similar object made from sculties/meshes You own it, of course, so you can then download and work on with whatever outworld tools you want. I own a product that does this for sculpties. But there are major constraints: a. The prims have to be created by the owner and, consequently, full perm. b. It can only process prims of certain shapes (off the top of my head... squares, cylinders and, I believe, spheres; plus, they can't be cut, hollowed, tapered or skewed). c. It can only merge 16 prims at a time into one sculpty. So, as you can imagine, it's uses are rather limited. But, for what it does, it does it rather well... especially for someone who, at the time, had never successfully created a sculpty before. Just saying. ...Dres
