    List ALL sims without having to type keywords.

    Listen, I've run bone dry on key words to type into the search, the " What's hot now" list never changes, and events are too transient and I always miss them. 

    Is there a way to just see ALL of the sims that exist, without having to type a key word, then search them by traffic like we do with a normal key word search? If not, there really needs to be. I'm truly tired of current list of Blues clubs from 2003, Troll-Island-10, Fire-Storm-No-Non-Noobs-Allowed-Not-Actually-Social, Lelutka, London-Get-Ejected-For-Being-Human,  that is the What's Hot Now list on the destinations guide. I would keep finding new places with key words, but I've tried all my key words :c..... Please let me just see all of the sims.. lol...

    I know you asked for something specific, a list of all the sims.

    There wouldn't really be any point, because the sims/regions don't have specific themes all that often. I mean, places like the Fruit Islands may well well be predominantly sailing sims, or on mainland it's the regions called "Blake Sea - " and then something else like Siren's Isle, which again are good for sailing around. 

    To avoid missing events, the best thing to do is look for groups that run the type of events you're looking for, such as Def Leppard tribute bands (or is that just me? :) ) or shopping or gothic or exploring, etc. 

    If I'm on a day where I feel I might be missing out on something but am not quite sure what I want to be doing, I pull up the world map and look for the places that have the most green dots and then teleport it. It can be random, fun, even dangerous at times, but it's never dull. 

     

     

    What behavior do you find off-putting?

    When longterm users of these forums start with the toxicity.

    I feel like there is a small group of very negative people here that run these forums and make it very unattractive to participate.

    Due to past experiences here, I edit and re-edit and delete most of my replies here because of what to expect. It is very similar to when you live with an abuser, you must carefully plan your every move, because you never know how or when they will respond. 

    I walk on eggshells around everything I say here.

    It is only a small group, but they don't run the forums, even if they may give off the impression that they think that they do. That's just their arrogance/narcisissm showing itself. 

    But we are all like crows and cranes, we all find our own level, the people we rub along with, and those we clash with from time to time. 

    And that's why I always come back to forums even after a break when I feel the balance is temporarily off. 

    No need to walk on eggshells. Just you be you, it helps with the balance.

    What behavior do you find endearing?

    While reading the "what behavior do you find off-putting" thread I got kind of depressed so I thought I would start an opposite thread.  Let's see if we can have more responses in this one vs. that one.   

    I'll start.

    I used to go to this now closed club and there was a hostess there that I was friendly with. We'd banter back and forth and it was a fun time.  I came in for a set one day  and five minutes later she sent me a gift from the MP.  She IM'd me and said "I saw these and thought of you immediately. I hope you like them"  It was a one off, nice thing to do.

    I've run into this behavior much more than off putting behavior.

    Nice thread to start, Sam :) We were in need of something positive on this gloomy January day.

    Someone ( in world) who will spam the c key with me . Someone who let's me stand on their head . Someone who I come back from being afk to find standing on my head . Someone to SLiff SLuff SLaff with :B .

    Definitely good to find other people with whom to test "weapons" and fun HUDs that others might see as griefing tools.

    I find it endearing when people do the opposite of using security orbs/devices to keep people out of their property and they actually put out welcome signs and gifts, sharing the goodwill.

    I found it endearing when a newbie clambered onto the back of a flying bat I was riding a few days ago and sparked up a conversation that was more than just a "hi", even though English was not his first language. It was quite an interesting conversation.

    I find it endearing when people generally pay it forward. That was one of my first experiences in Second Life. People pooling and sharing their knowledge about all the "how to" aspects of Second Life, and showing me interesting places they've found.

    When I'm chatting with a man in world and he asks me if I'm a female in real life. Does it matter? Why does it matter? What the blinking 'eck is going on in his head? Happened again this week, so I said "Yes, a 60 year old female". My age seemed to dampen his ardour. Good-oh!

    I ain't here to date, mate.

    I just had a video in my YT recommendation about that weird 3-second--teletiktoksale-tactic that supposedly will wash over us soon. Made me wonder if it would be an interesting tactic for the surnames, you just get 3 seconds to look at them, and then must grab one or not, and you're stuck with your first inspiration, or second, or third, depending on how many your brain comes up with until you need to press the button. Or auction the ones with the most potential...? Ahah, no, but fun thought.

    Didn't they call them blipverts in Max Headroom (and they caused people to spontaneously explode?)

    Any one using the name of Sir Terry p has been auto added to my ban list. And the word has gone out unless - the estate has given the nod. Now 'Vimes' I would have paid for

    Ohhh I think I understand what you meant now. 😁

    I suppose really LL should have all the other famous ones "honoured" in the same way. (But then perhaps they do in the form of region names.)

    How Does Your SL Look Today?

    Trying on one of the library avatars and as if by magic an appropriate bat ride appeared and I made a new friend. He just hitched a ride and struck up a conversation and reminded me what fun Second Life can be when you just live in the moment.

    How Does Your SL Look Today?

    So, actually, how my SL looked a few days ago.

    I have very vague memories of the British scifi series "Space 1999" (1975-1977, I think). I gather it didn't get much air time in the US, but here in Canada it was in reruns on the CBC well into the 80s, which is when I must have experienced it. I remember the basic premise: the moon is blasted out of earth orbit and goes "wandering" through space with its human inhabitants on a moon station established there. I have only one really concrete memory of watching it though -- a scene where a window breaks and someone is sucked out onto the vacuum of the moon's surface. It utterly traumatized me (I was probably about 10 when I saw it? Or thereabouts?)

    ANYWAY, a friend of mine is a fan of the series, and has built a pretty extensive reconstruction of Moon Base Alpha; he also equipped me with a uniform from the series which he or someone else had commissioned/made for SL, so I took a pic of myself for him there.

    By coincidence, and the reason I'm even posting this really, @SlammedSam mentioned the series today in an IM to me. Synchronicity!

    Not a brilliant shot, but I did look at some stills from the series, and it's not a bad reproduction of the look of the show, maybe.

    I showed this to my brother in real life. He was (is - we get reruns here) quite a fan of Space 1999 and also of UFO. He says "you look very Barbara Bain".

    I love it when I find places in Second Life that replicate real life places or are mock ups of TV shows.

    Not feeling as snarky as I know I sound - still shaking off 2023

    Not sure what the conversation is but we have ALWAYS been the beta testers for LL. :D

    If the conversation is still about muggins here having to jump through extra security hoops to prove I am not a bot after all these years of being here before I can make each new post, then I didn't sign up to beta test anything. :/ 

    Everything was annoying me yesterday. I'll check see if it is still happening today when I post this. 

    (Editing just to say, I posted today with no obstacles whatsoever. Go figure!)

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🍾
