  1. I quite often wont notice someone saying hello for ages after it happened, even if Ims, even it is my best friend... Often I go back and say something, if I dont crash before I get to it and lose the name. I think its fine to say hello, just the responses you might get will vary a lot.
  2. Well I asked and the lab has no provision for special event planning or help. Any suggestions have to be done via blog or forums. L:inend lab has noway a residedent can communicate other than these. I looks like support can help if the region is experiencing trouble *unless *the trouble is caused by girefers. So its down to the AR system whic isi never responded to and help never given.
  3. People are saying that mainland and linden land simply cannot have events planned on it, if true this a disaster for the lab. . At the core of SL is community and even relative hermits want to use their land and maybe show stuff to people.. I think every Sler,or at lhe least every premium Sler, DOES have the right to expect that the lindens will respond straight away if they cant attend or run or plan an event because of griefing. Second life looks bad to someone, perhaps many someones, everytime an event fails to happen. Fixing that event should have taken five minutes maximum. They will be (already have been) spending around twenty times that long responding to the ticket and explaining why they didnt act. They really will be. I hate to think how many man hours they have spent following up on this one issue for this one event, every week. Gosh if they just came for less than five minutes every time we needed, over a year and half that would have added up to a total spend of time less than the time it is taking them in NOT taking five minutes (three minutes if they were good and had clue about how to do it) for this single time- last Sundays event!
  4. Well I dont really file abuse reports so I dont know what my rep would be. The lab do know, the event is a sandbox one! I really enjoy going to them. I wont do a preemptive report, . I have written to them with an idea to let events happen:)!
  5. I know some small scale landlords who do not make money, they rent bitsof their land to friends and community members at just above cost of those prims, and are quite happy using on the rest themselves. This gives them possibility they may make money if a place gets all rented up, butthey are really just enjoying second life with chosen neighbours! so it may be wise to ask a few landlords how they make money, sometimes the answer may surprise.
  6. Hi, I attend, and sometimes help run a weekly speed build,that is not on a private island, and it is pretty much always the subject of griefing, Live support wont help. Well sometimes they promise to come (not to ban anyone,just to clear away the prims that are making sounds, particles and clogging the place up) but they have never actually come. As I know the event will be held at the same time and place every week, should I submit a pre-emptive griefing report, I could do up to 12 weeks in advance? Does anyone know if that would increase the likelyhoood of a response? Im not being sarcastic in any way, this is a serious actual question. Last weeks event was moved due the primsof someone that many people claim to have reported for weeks. It seems we have no repsonse to long term or short term requests for help. Would a 12 week lead in time be enough? the chances they will not be needed are slim. It is impossible to plan and advertise the event. We do anyway, optomists that we are, And we have had to move the event so very often it is becoming the norm. Also would anyone know how I ask to get policy changed so that lab develops a policy of responding in a timely manner when events on linden land or mainland are being disrupted? Such a policy would I think help the lab a lot, (and would definitely help my event- I am motivated!)
  7. Not sure what sort of contests- If you want building contests, or texturing challenges, or tringo, dreams sim has them. Its a pretty cool PG hangout.
  8. All those many people coming together. Meeting when they would not otherwise meet. Everyone building to the theme provided to celebrate the birthday. Maybe SL hasnt got enough people left to populate 20 sims? I dont understand at all. Sl can do something no-one else can. They can host an event like Birthday. Only SL can do that. Events like birthday are what makes SL not boring. In an environment w ithout imposed deadlines and achievment goals it can be difficult to maintain focus, for many of us events like birthday provided that. impetus/structure. And getting us to check other social media is just insulting. SL is social media. doh. It is such a waste and a shame. They could easily have tacked a special page in events onto the usual sl birthday celebration and everyone would of been happy. After SLs failure over years to address the concerns of more than third of its users about viewers they need to be out there proving to us they actually do care. This is not how towin friends and influence people. they could just put one sim to a server to get rid of lag,, no-one would even know they cheated, so this isnt about server performance. What is this years birthday theme? if sl hasnt provided one -what about "Its my party and Ill cry if I want to"
  9. update: they have rez areas, and oh its even better than i thought before. Music prims are called background music prims:) easy to spot fotunately
  10. Now that phoenix provides mesh in viewer one type interface,it is standard. I do wish ll would update their viewer . The people still on linden standard viewer one cannot see mesh.and are unlikley to ever change viewer. I dont blame them, I hate change too, but the lab is years behind updating that viewer.
  11. I adore it. My only complaint is i cant build so I cant hang out there. Wish they would allow build with fastish return times. Is fantastic. i fished and went on a boat and explored trails. Absolutely marvellous Anybody know what the nameof the prims that play music are? need to mute those
  12. I am quite upset that in more than year ll has pretty much ignored feedback from current users and not scrambled to either resume updating viewer one or make viewer 2 have "old user" mode that emulates v1, enabling users to switch over to v2 style element by as element as they become accustomed. As it is I crash all the time on v2 and despite being a person who spends all her time and money in SL, I find that I got this computer new in february and im not willing to buy yet another new computer for SL. i need more of a show of faith from LL. I am actually a bit of power user of SL and I feel stupid bad and incapable of coping everytime I get on v2. This is not a feeling I pay money for , or seek. Ignoring current customers while chasing new ones is a clasic small business mistake.
  13. my personal experience is there is a garbage date, i have bought scipted scenery that has not found the textures due to them not being in the system anymore. Why the creator didnt keep the textures, then felt free to sell the scenery I am unsure:). I do not know if this loss is intended or not.
  14. please consider allowing new residents to have a real name. So after they are part of the culture and realise it may not be so good to have a citizen number,oops resident number, instead of a name like the real deal avs, and workout they are social inferiors with odd coloured text, they can go back and make an alt with socially acceptable name? Please at least consider it. Odd coloured text is essential to prevent identity fraud. In my friends list I do not look forward to either never knowing who someone is from minute to minute as they flibertygibbet around, OR having to discern who joe jos and jas resident are, with my memory that will be hard,so I prolly wont bother friending many to start with. Huge social gulf coming. Being a new resident is going to be social poison with many many old residents simply because of the fake name. If I am not in a roleplay environment am I going to check they are new and not someone whose reputation is so bad they dare not wear their real name before i decide if i want to say hello ? not always.
