  1. I avoid entering my shop if someone's visiting, so they don't feel crowded. But I run into people elsewhere, particularly at events like Fantasy Faire where people tend to walk around. Generally they mention things like favourite items, the colours they like, items from past hunts that aren't for sale yet, the stories in the story hunts, and stuff like that. Sometimes they ask me how the fungal invasion is going.
  2. It's here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WelcomeHub/71/177/25
  3. Second Pride runs a few events through the year. They might be a bit more dance party than you'd like, though you can wander the regions and find info on other groups in some of the stalls/shops. * * Fantasy Faire Fans * * is for the event starting on 18th April (2024). Fantasy Faire has a whole bunch of stuff, but it specifically has a literary festival. This page will have more info closer to the time, but you can see some of the stuff they've done before. https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/literary-festival-2024/ SL Sci-Fi Con is a group for a science fiction event (that starts on 24th May this year). Also has an associated Discord, which posts a lot of events for other scifi-related communities through the year. The booths usually include some gaming and tech stuff, as well as the more classic scifi things. Bellisseria Citizens wins for the most random chit-chat of the groups I'm in. Even if you don't have a Linden Home, it's a fairly casual place to get used to talking to people in groups. Also not connected to an event, so people chat most days, rather than mainly around event time. I'm not part of any comedy or debate groups, so I don't have any suggestions for those.
  4. The biggest use of the community area isn't people who started today, because most people don't focus on that in the first five minutes. The point where it's useful is later, when they're set up, and they post in the make friends forum saying they want to find places. In the past, the main browsable community thing was the birthday, but it only runs for a short time each year. This will always be there. However, it won't really live up to that until it's finished. Right now, it's basically a placeholder with only a few spaces filled. To clarify for people who didn't realise how it was set up, there's a whole region and a connecting bridge with empty spaces ready for community exhibits. The bit you can currently see is a tiny starting part, where the bridge joins the main hub.
  5. Buoy Quay and friends switched to "Linden Home" before today and a few were claimed. I think mostly people didn't notice because houseboats usually have some free now. Does make me wonder if we're getting close to the old houses closing though, as they'll need some excess to cover that.
  6. Some of the SSP houseboat regions now have their final name. Buoy Quay is an example in the area.
  7. No bunnies?! How could you! Add them right away! Anyway, most shady rentals don't last long, so there's that.
  8. Mine turned up. Boopheart comes in red and pink and is #12. Still no sightings of #5.
  9. If by "ventured into" you mean clicking the link, don't do that. They keep creating new accounts, so you'll keep getting messages, but never click the links. Even if it's named after a real thing, it is not that thing. Just a way to get you to open suspect links.
  10. Well, that does make more sense. You don't want to approach people, so you rely on them contacting you. Which they only seem to do if you look like you're new. I'm not the life of the party either, but sometimes you do need to be the one to talk first. Join some groups if you're shy about talking to people directly. Or just put on a tiny avatar and they will all start talking to you.
  11. Most people don't bother to look at account age unless it comes up in conversation. People looking to prey on newbies do, as you noted in your original post, but I don't understand why you want to experience that. You're not missing out by not having a bunch of creepy people contacting you. The idea that forum people are out to get you is overblown. The only times that people have turned up at my house is when I told them to go visit my house. Most people don't take forum arguments to inworld (and if they did, they'd just get shut down and that'd be the end of that). All round, I suspect the reason you have trouble finding people who want to talk to you is not about your account age. It's because you're approaching them as you are in this thread.
  12. Not long left to order the Valentines 2024 boopie! Visit the link! Put your name/your friend's names into the kiosk!
  13. The bar is a lot lower for the love train. If you survive until the end of the journey, success!
  14. New boopie alert! There's a boopie you can send to your true love from the Isle of View! Or yourself, which is what I did. There's a special little kiosk and the boopie looks like a heart. The instructions say they'll be shutting it down before Valentines, which means most likely sometime on the 13th at the latest. The boopies will be sent on the 14th. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle of View 2/87/81/107
  15. Some steampunk people are going to be happy that Lovelace is on the list. Does seem a little oddly not-a-joke compared to the usual seasonal ones.
