IMVU must be skeered of the jigglies available in SL lmao.
eta: Which reminds me. It is time to make more sexylicious jiggly vids and post them to youtube with an IMVU tag.

I will say this openly.
Green text greetings are an insult. Wait till people are in range to greet or do not greet at all. Robo greets are the fastest way to lose attendees possible. If you are using robots then do SL a favor and close. You are not needed.

Good venues will survive. Consider the current situation a shakeout.
Heck I am considering creating a tipjar-less venue. When it is just for fun things are majorly different. Besides if someone wants to tip someone else they still have the right click pay option. So everyone can be a host!

..Now...bring back the way events USED to be handled and that'd be a whole different story!
Contests are dead. Too many vote alt bots. So what we need is to get back to entertainment basics and get rid of costume contests. I hate to say that because that is what got my business going. But the bots are crap and the privacy invasion required to prevent them is not worth it. So we are back at host/DJ personalities/shows. I doubt we will see many stars again. Not for a few more months anyway.

Back when I was a host(ess) the job was clear. keep the party atmosphere going and take votes (sometimes a tad more than that lol). In addition it was a "tag team" act with the DJ which required knowing the DJ closely. In addition the entire 2 hour show was planned in advance and it was, in effect, a stage show. And I made L$15k or more per day on average. The DJ made twice that or more. Those were the good days of SL.
Today voting is done by click on a board and the "DJ"'s do whatever they choose. There are not many coordinated scripted shows anymore.
Basically, if you don't like the entertainment, why do you go? Nobody forces you.
edited to add: Tipping is optional. If you do not feel like someone has earned a tip then do not tip. I tip when I feel a tip is earned. And I usually tip L$500. When I tip.

Examine time zones. Hire hosts from the main time zones. Allow them to post event notices in the language they target.
However, one small word of advice. Quantity does not beat quality. Making something that is highly desired and not available 24*7 can lead to full regions and people wanting desperately to get in. The venue I used to be associated with will never return but I can point at Duran Duran's venue as a seriously good example of this effect.

What if you have to make a change? Oh SNAP the folder has VANISHED!11
-
No way to know. It is abundantly clear LL needs actual IT management to take over and hire in real technical writers for documentation tasks.
-
That is not how I read it. The statement is nebulous and can be interpreted in more than one way.
So LL must come forth with actual examples to demonstrate how this actually works and exactly what all the limits are.
Overall I feel the only safe approach will be to treat the folder as a magic box and continue on exactly the same we we have for years that has served all the needs of SL very well. Or are we now required to make a folder for every boxed item we sell?
Adding complexity to a working system seems illogical. Where are the requirements for this odd set of limits that were solicited from the merchants anyway?
So LL, how many items are allowed in the outbound folder? Please provide detailed scenarios and explain everything in detail exactly how it works.

Does this help?
You can make 20 folders. In each folder you can have a max of 200 items. This means a merchant will be able to list only 4000 items.
That is 10 times what I would consider a viable product line. That circa 2006 and earlier stuff likely needs retiring anyway. (IMHO)
The alternative to this, if anyone really has over 4000 viable products that will all sell, is to make alts and pass them the overflow and the alts can reset the permissions and list.
Does anyone have over 4000 products on SLM?
-
yes there needs to be a library of "good builds". I could put the good installer up for download but that would be out of line I suspect.

People hear stuff over time and then show up and expect easy money. Fact is, back probably before my time and in 2007 it was easy to make money in SL in certain "sectors" rofl.
For example in 2007 I could make 15k a day easy by simply hosting events. (It was hard work because back then SL sims handled 100 people all the time and there were no vote bots) People were loose with their cash before the recession wiped disposable income off the planet. Now people are shocked when I tip them L$500. Back when I hosted in 2007 I got L$1000 tips routinely. That free spending environment is where the rumors of easy money in SL got going. Those days are over. But nobody told the new guys lol.
Times have changed. If people want to make money now they have to create and market content that is superior to the established artists of SL. An unlikely prospect unless the new resident came from the video game community and was a 3D modeler there.

You need only look for smart musicians that are cool. Like Moby:

And look for creative commons music:
Like a lot of what can be found here if you dig: http://www.archive.org/details/audio (one of my favs is http://www.archive.org/details/csr049 )

If you had the Get Parcel Info HUD I used to give away you could simply open the parcel web page, find what you want, and slurl directly to what you seek.
But I stopped giving away stuff because freebies are killing SL. Sorry.

Awsome version. A few bumps the first run but this version has me back able to use all the good stuff like DOF with good FPS. Hope it makes it to production unscathed.

Hmmm...
Gossamer Moonfilter
She is a messenger of the moon goddess.
She lives in spiderwebbed wonderlands and insect grottoes.
She is only seen on midsummer's eve.
She wears dresses made of cobwebs and gossamer and has bright blue butterfly wings.That doesn't sound right. Oh hai a vampire name generator!

Put the jira url in the location. Choose the best category. fill in the details.

Restrict your search to G rating and search for castle.

I think it would be great if all the original game gods were on the board and turned SL into a game incubator to battle the corporate monopolies that took over and screwed up the gaming world.
-
I just bought the avi and made the vid ages ago. I really need to go back and see if the full mesh version is available. Sadly we cannot name merchants here. Stupid rule.

SL version except for copyrighted music

Your best bet is to select the answers tab and report a webkit error and see what the solutions are for that condition.

The secondlife (or tpv) main executable handles starting and stopping slplugin.exe. Just don't worry about it. Use the program as designed.

How do you determine what items to resend and which not to?
in Merchants

Arrange to meet them in world and send them a copy personally. Problem solved. Sure they might have an extra to slip to a friend or an alt but did it hurt that bad to make sure they actually got it just in case SL or SLM goofed?
