Scottish gal looking for some new friends!
Lyndka Cochrane replied to callmecupsxx's topic in Make Friends
Try The Midnight Cove Club (TMCC) over on Jasmine Cloud, ShenaniganS Music Cafe on Ocean of Orchids or Skyfire over on Sabnock. They're all small venues compared to Muddy's or Big Daddy's but that works for them in having folks to talk to... They'll all have sets at different UK times so you'll take a wee while to find a "rythmn" to your visits that suits you -
Event Notifications -- do they work?
Lyndka Cochrane replied to Bloodsong Termagant's topic in Second Life Viewer
This *points up* - not all our staff are premium and to be honest with all the DJ events being bundled in to the "Live Music" category - it became rather a snowstorm for us. I think one of our DJ's argued for us to keep posting events but even using a "promo" for 3 weeks - we showed that no one was coming to his sets because of events. It was a shame that charging happened and that the system isn't more granular in it's categories - it used to be a good way of publicising events but these days not so much -
Advertising an Adult Venue on Moderate land
Lyndka Cochrane replied to BilliJo Aldrin's topic in General Discussion Forum
Try this knowledge base article - it's a long read but worth a read... Maturity ratings -
Having owned a venue for 8 years that never hides the fact we're folks based in the UK - there does (sadly) seem to be a bit of stigma/shame/embarassment amongst some folks that they visit a UK owned venue, there's actually quite a few venues run by folks from the UK e.g. Midnight Cove, Blitz, The Hummingbird, Wet Willies, High Voltage Rock & of course my own venue ShenaniganS on Ocean of Orchids. There does seem to be a presumption that the good DJ's are only at american run venues however the paradox is that those venues (Muddy's, Big Daddys, Rockin Robins for example) all have UK based DJ's in UK friendly slots. Perhaps we're too 'british'? We don't have union flags hanging off every wall, our staff don't wear bowler hats or union flag underwear (though I can't be sure - I've never checked!) or end every sentence with "Want a cup of tea with that love?" but let folks get on with enjoying the music, the company and the occasional references to farts & 'Are you being served?" It's probably fair to say that if you're looking to hook up with someone then don't head to a UK owned venue (too many lothario's/Romeo's get put off by having the urine taken out of them I suspect) but if you want good music, some new friends or simply some good company that doesn't gasp when you talk about enjoying a ***** (f@ggut) & pea batch or twiglets - then you won't do better IMO You can find my venue here ShenaniganS Music Cafe some of the others named above are in SL Search. Now I'm off to make a fine cup of rosy lee to dunk my bourbons in

Multiple avatars/bots on abandoned land
Lyndka Cochrane replied to Geoff Quinnell's topic in Second Life Server
Geoff - thankfully we never suffered the same issue when we first started out on mainland (apart from our pet griefer - 7 years & he's still not given up!) - if you want to sort the issue because you envisage being there for a while then could I suggest a visitor tracker at the point that all seem to land - I.e ArtiZan do a nice effective one that stores names in a friendly format as does Fred Allandale. Rez the tracker - create the most basic setup from it's instructions and let it run for a few days - it will accumulate a nice list of names for you. Once you've got the names list - either add them the parcel ban list (but this might end up almost filling your ban list) or buy the CasperSafe Security Orb (I recommend that because if has some nice visitor tracking features but it's not too hot on doing much with the visitor lists it's creates i.e. you can't add a visitor to it's internal ban list from the CasperPanel) and add the names from your visitor list to it's ban list then let it do it's thing. Banned Avies arrive but get ejected and TP'd home almost straightway... You'll find after a week or so - the new random visitors will stop coming.... -
I had some silly issue with Firestorm dropping it's settings every few days - after a long discussion on the JIRA - they thought it might be Firestorm crashing as it closed down and corrupting the settings files What eventually "cured" it for me was turning off Windows Write Caching on my system drive - it seems that Firestorm was exiting, Windows was being asked to Shutdown by me & probably thought the cache was now invalid so not writing it... Now - I get missing content in Inventory folders every few days necessitating a clear Inventory Cache & restart - which does solve things for a few days... I can't help wondering if this is also disk cache related and whether there's any Windows API calls that Firestorm could use to flush the caches as it closes down. The irony is - we all used to say "You need a decent computer to run SL" and now we have - the inner workings haven't caught up

Franks/Privé closed and gone ...
Lyndka Cochrane replied to Katherine Heartsong's topic in Favorite Destinations
Franks/Prive was not without controversy or criticism... 😏 FlickR Post -
Oook - you're worried about giving us an eMail address so we can reply to your message? Fair enough 🤔
-
Sorry - only just seen the post. Yes the website is working but our hosting provider has been doing some hardware upgrades & their load sharing is abysmal - that might have caught you out. It's also not https so Google will whine like a little kid about it not being safe... It is safe - we don't need https - we're not taking any personal or financial data off you.

We can't promise to always be full of sparkling conversation but we don't have voice enabled on our main parcel for this reason - text chat makes folks thinks a little more before being an idiot. We do keep EU/UK hours though which might put you off... Our website & Schedule ShenaniganS Music Cafe in SL

Muddy's Style Club That Plays All Genres?
Lyndka Cochrane replied to Musetta Fieschi's topic in Favorite Destinations
I suspect you'll wait for a while for a sensible answer... I would offer my own venue but we don't fulfil the "well attended" criteria - small venues like ours seem to be struggling for visitors at the moment -
You could hop over to ShenaniganS Music Cafe - we're a UK owned venue so our sets are timed for there and Europe. Fun starts most days from 6pm UK time... ShenaniganS

It's likely this - I moaned at my landlords for weeks about this (thankfully they're friends!) and even submitted a ticket about it... To my mind it made our sim look "broken" so folks didn't visit via map browsing. Turns out that a lot of sim surrounds use mega prims and the bounding boxes confuses the map rendering routines (also beware - there's a very nice planetary system that leaves circles on the map too) - eventually we found a lovely 3/4 sim surround that works & doesn't obscure the map and for our part of the sim we use prim/sculpty off sim elements.
