    Many times this.

    I mean, the SCII one was good. I didn't try any of the others, but this is where JIALTOD was started, and where it would seem to belong - and while I did not really use the last version of the forums (the lack of sticky login on that one kept me away, for some reason), I'm plenty willing to enjoy the space nowadays.

    I was a lot more fighty when I hung out here before. When they went on lithium and the word went out that inworld bans were being handed out for forum bans, I figured discretion was the better part of valor and settled in over at SLU. (can we say SLU these days? or is that a ban?)

    Democracy hits SL!

    The only one off the top of my head would be the CDS so would be interesting to hear of others.

     

    Thank you for the mention, Mikka!

     

    Someone mentioned earlier that putting up a sim's worth of teir would end up with the "experiment" ending within a month; to that I'd like to point out that even with our ups and downs, the Confederation Of Democratic Simulators (portal.slcds.info) has managed to last for twelve years now since our origins on the Anzere region.

     

    Far from closing, in 2015 we added a sixth region to our estate.

     

    On a personal level, I'm not sure that democracy would work particularly well as a means of running the entire secondlife grid, but we at the CDS have managed to make it work for our estate.

    My friend wants a custom MESH shirt made for her shape

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Hi!

    I have a friend whose made herself prim shirts, but now she wants something in mesh that will fit her shape (and hers only). She doesn't know blender and she's willing to pay for a custom mesh shirt that will work with her shape.

    I'm not sure who to approach for this, so I'm throwing a general purpose appeal out. I have a copy of her shape and a sample template of the shirt she wants.

    Send me an IM (they go to email when I'm offline) if you are or if you know of a creator that I could hook her up with. Please provide your requirements, a link/slurl to your shop and a rough price estimate if possible.

    Thank you very much!

    Wiki thoughts

    in LSL Scripting

    Posted

    Hello.

    I just found this thread on twitter and started a thread on sluniverse for this topic in the general section.

     

    LL has a history of removing posts that they don't like it and its' my opinion that slu is a safer place to discuss anything that might be even remotely critical of LL. [EDIT TO ADD] that includes technical or policy decisions or information that they do not want discussed or put out.

     

    My first thought is to itemize and think of what y'all want to preserve, then make mirror copies of that information over on wikia (which has an excellent, if dated, SL wiki already). I'm not sure that wikia is a permanent solution, but it would be a good (modifyable) stopgap to use while organising and planning out what you want to do.

    REALLY Sick of discrimination against child avatars

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    There are no good places to talk about being a child avi in SL. That said, the official forum has to be the absolute worst place to talk about it (or, really, anything else).

     

    I feel your pain, Kiskoshka; just remember that a few jerks doesn't represent all of Secondlife; and if you stick w/ it you'll find ppl who are cool and, really, THOSE are the people who matter, right?

    Not the haters. :)

    is firestorm safe

    in Viewers

    Posted

    "it depends"

    Firestorm comes from a project that has a one-and-a-half year history, and all of the accounts associated with it are in good standing.

    However, it IS a TPV (third party viewer) and if you are running a business in secondlife of any importance (eg an estate where you handle hundreds or thousands of RL dollars) then you do not want to use ANY third party viewer, and instead stick to the officially supported viewer.

    I would say that yes, firestorm is safe -their source is publically available and if there were gotchas we'd have heard about them; but only you can make that call.

    Secondlife crashes on OSX Lion (Radeon 512 video card)

    in Viewers

    Posted

    Hi, I noticed this on Firestorm, and thought it was just a TPV issue until I tried starting the official client.

    I am mostly unable to log in at all to secondlife using either the official viewer, or Firestorm-release (which uses the engine from 3.2). I WAS able to log in at like 3am SLT last night for a brief while with firestorm, but then today I'm back to being unable to log in at all.

    When I try the official viewer I log in, and get the progress screen and then the viewer dies before switching away from the progress screen.

    I'm using OS X Lion (10.7.2), on a new iMac with a 512 Radeon video card.

    I am able to log in to secondlife with most 1.x-based TPVs and Coolviewer; just not with anything based on 3.2.

    Also, Firestorm (based on 3.2) is able to log in to osgrid without problems (haven't tried the offical client; to much hassle).

     

    EDIT TO ADD: I've done some googling and tried adding the google dns servers to my network settings; that didn't help at all.

    The ickle speak is an immersion thing, not a literalist thing.

    For the OP: if your avi/character is older than 5, sign up for Hard Knock Elementary -as a kid avi that's how I met most of the kid avis I knew. Good luck and don't sweat the petty stuff (or posters ;))

    Do you want "Double-Click to Teleport" on by default?

    in Second Life Viewer

    Posted

    On "by default"? Personally **I** would love that, but after spending a futile hour last night explaining to someone how to simply unpack a box I have to say I think it would be a bad idea to have on by default.

    It will cause a lot of confusion.

    What would be AWESOME, though, is to have the option presented to the user some place obvious and up-front.

    TBH I didn't even know that this was a feature that was included in the regular viewer -it's the reason I switched to using the singularity viewer in fact...
