Unfortunately there's not a snowball's chance in Tartarus of it being managed well as such people won't touch it with a three thousand foot barge pole.

Warning, suspension .... The point being that such should not have been given at all as it was never against the ToS to share such things outside of the service.

Making this a separate post simply because they're two different kettles of fish. The notion of a Second Life Better Business Bureau is not new nor is it anything that has ever truly gone/ended well. It has been tried in the past and the only ones that ever took it seriously were drama mongers.

.... It was never against the ToS to share chat logs and such outside of Second Life. If you were suspended after doing so, there were other reasons for your suspension. Any Linden that would list such as the "reason" behind such an action back then was taking action on something wholly out of the scope of the ToS. Now how do I know this? I've shared logs externally countless times before and also tried to report one or two malignant bloggers/users for using their logs to harass or ***** talk other users. No actions were ever taken.

Want a more graphical interface for your (existing) clothing inventory? There's a Wardrobe on the MP that does that. Use it. IMVU can do the things it does inventory and clothing wise because it is a simpler set up than Second Life - all of the "avatars" there are prebuilt "models". Is it theoretically possible to do? Sure. It'll require the Viewer do the render work for each preview and add more network traffic between the servers and end user to facilitate downloading of the object data that will be needed for such a system.

On the speculation concerning better speed: I've had no issues with max bandwidth bumped up to 2000 since around mid November/December. Do with that what you will.

The above is also something that quite seems to have either slipped people's minds or simply been utterly ignored.

@ChinRey: Hyped or not, no one should have expected even half of what some seem to think was going to happen, let alone what those such as the OP seem to have expected. Not helping matters are those who seem insistent on blaming the Uplift for a plethora of problems that - in all reality - already existed in one form or another. Linden Lab did not simply swap their servers out for 'better' ones - they changed systems and protocols. The physical hardware may be 'better' but the tradeoff there is that the system is not the same as it was when Linden Lab had their own hardware.

Par for the course for them I am afraid. The concept that this sort of move (from one server system to another) can cause havoc or require more work than simply copy, paste, go live is .... alien to them and those like them.

Keep tilting at that windmill and denying reality - meaning what is right in front of you. A Linden statement is worthless without the actual verbiage in the Viewer itself reflecting it - that is all there is to it. Now then, don't you have some rant post to go type out on your blog?

Correction: There is no analogy.

No, the Lindens do not call it an Ad - the checkbox says nothing of the sort and that is all that matters. No, paying for it does not automatically make it an Ad. You want an Ad? Go pay for a Classified listing. That is reality - deal with it.

Combining all three above because the response is more or less universal: There's nothing to understand or make sense of beyond the OP trying to correlate their own experience to a completely unrelated event in an effort to seek agreement or vindication for their skewed viewpoint/beliefs.

If you really want to give it a try ... you'll need to use WINE or Lutris.

Oh for .... Edit: There was a bit here but honestly ... it's not worth the bloody headache.

And that point is .... What exactly? That Oranges are preferred over Apples by a Generation that is barely within the Apple's target demographic?

Ok, I'm sorry but .... What?! At present the youngest member of Generation Y (Millennials) is 25 years old. The oldest turning 40 this year. While I can certainly see the more child-like/young in mind members of my (1983) generation using such a program I cannot believe for even a single second that it is as popular as they're pretending it is. Generation Z (Zoomers)? Sure.

SLGO did not render a single thing on your mobile device - it streamed everything from another computer to your device. Apples and Oranges.

Yet another variation of the ever popular Chicken Little threads .... Seriously, give it a rest already. IMVU is not even close to comparable to Second Life and caters to an entirely different demographic (one that Linden Lab should not be catering to).

With incredibly few exceptions, no one is paying $30 for ads. The amount the OP is lamenting is L$30 paid per parcel for that parcel to show in Search. That last bit is important and - splitting hairs here - is not an Ad. Classifieds are Ads. Showing a Parcel in Search is a L$ sink.

Yep, on rare occasion the cache can develop the odd issue and needs to be cleared - it's dependent on the user system/settings on when, mind. The sort of issue you'd described happens - to some degree and rather rarely - when I go teleporting to a club I frequent. Sometimes whole sections do not visibly load and I have to teleport out and come back to force them back in (the Wireframe trick touted earlier in this thread does nothing for me and never has - invisible but obviously rezzed objects will not appear until I leave and come back).

Tari, there's no point in going back and forth with the OP on anything as they always pull what you're experiencing here (and worse). Heaven forbid you accuse them of being wrong about something (as they are about the Object Owners section in About Land). As far as the technical issues are concerned, you're mostly right in that many of them predate the Uplift with a tiny fraction being made worse. Hopefully they get better as bugs are squashed.

Was it? Yes, with quite the limitation on Draw Distance, general scene quality and such.

If you're looking to play an online radio station you don't need to go quite that far, just plugging the station URL into the Audio stream will work. Now if you want to be able to do Youtube and such ... You'll need to find a TV that doesn't use MOAP - though such older models require a few extra steps for setup.

That's ... Not at all what I am seeing, right this minute: Brave browser, no extra text appears even when at default zoom levels. Unless the default, brighter theme has been altered without the forum built in dark theme being changed ...
