    Well, it beats shooting avatars out of cannons, which is an actual transportation system at WelcomeHub.

    That, for me, is the highlight of the Welcome Hub, and has many a time prevented me from drawing a c0ck and balls on the chalk board.

  2. I feel your frustration, and unfortunately there is no actual way of preventing anyone from seeing when you are online. As Alwin mentioned above, your online status is available via any groups you are in, and online trackers still work, so anyone who uses those can override your preferences and see whether you are online anyway.

    Even changing your Username would not work. The only way to stop this harassment is to create a brand new account and make sure you don't leave a papertrail. 

    Keep submitting abuse reports. If everyone did so then Linden Lab would see how serious an issue this is. This is obviously spoiling your enjoyment of Second Life.

    • Disappeared while swimming off-sim
    • Entered SL rocket hoping to find the 5000 meter height line but hitting the skybox dome
    • Walked onto spooky shipwreck late one night and was never heard from again
    • Used a crocodile avatar and became (1) a wall trophy in a virtual 1800's mansion and (2) several SL handbags
    • Naively gave away real life name & address to seemingly nice & helpful person near the welcome area...

    That one wins it for me. I can't stop laughing!

    You know there's a meme about german speaking people having a word for everything? Well there's one for THIS. It's called a "Steilvorlage" and you've got no idea how hard I had to fight back the urge to take it :P

    We Brits also have a saying for everything. We call this "paying in kind" ;)

    Perhaps a lesson or two in marketing would not be a bad idea. :)

    You're the first person I've seen who advertises land as being "Expensive". Not a term I'd use, it has negative connotations in this context.

    I think after all these year's the OP knows exactly how to market his land. For where these parcels are, in relative terms, they're not really expensive.

    Chiggers,

    Testing 1..2..3..

    ETA: OK, I'm gonna go shopping or do something because I'm starting to feel like I'm spamming and I don't want to do that in here..

    I don't know what we're all on today, but I feel I'm spamming too, so am off for a RL bath before everyone starts playing "What's That Smell" ;)

  7. Oh but another peeve: 

    I was watching Goodnight Sweetheart last night on a more obscure TV channel that has retro stuff on it (here in the UK), and the (the censors) kept bleeping out words. 

    The words were "Japs" and "chinks"! 

    Goodnight Sweetheart is a charming inoffensive comedy programme made in the 1990s, where the lead character, Gary Sparrow, finds himself transported to 1940s wartime via a secret time portal. The language used in the programme is authentic to the time.

    Yes, that sounds offal.  "Chitterlings" in the use (or "chitlin's") use pig intestines. 

    There are some Vietnamese dishes that use them too. (I tried one once.)

    Peeve: That I can't go back in time and slap my parents for feeding me pig intestines. It's the thought of it being its poo chute. Can deal with liver and kidney and heart (even though I'm having a pang of guilt for accidentally buying eggs this week that were from caged hens.

    I know, another was complaining bitterly as if they were serious, so thought I'd play along.

    I assume that resurrecting an old thread could flag it for moderators.

    I suppose the joke was / lesson is for anyone who did not already know, "NO, it's not 'grandfathered' just because it already exists!"

    ... and I am, as my tagline cheesily says, learning something new every day :)
