    During the pandemic I saw some very dangerous behaviour related to adult phone use and consequently unsupervised children. The most memorable was a small child falling off a cliff. Luckily the child was able to hang on to the edge by his fingertips and was subsequently able to climb back up and seemed none the worse as if this kind of thing was a regular event. Neither of the parents noticed, they were both embroiled in their individual and somewhat miserable looking worlds of phone.

    Good point!

    I think that if you find yourself spending lots of alone time in SL (for whatever reason) then some sort of self imposed structure can be helpful, whatever that happens to be, even if you sometimes throw this aside and do spontaneous things as well. Structure means different things to different people, so it could be making up games or challenges which contain their own satisfaction from being completed. It could also be about timetabling your activities, or working around existing SL events, such as shopping sales. SL allows for both asymmetrical and asynchronous socialising. So you could have a chat group pinging in the background without joining in, just knowing that people are around. Or you could have a very drawn out conversation on the forums here, only throwing in a remark every few hours / days. Sometimes it is about getting 'permission' to do the things you need, or want to do in any case, and not being too hard on yourself when things go awry (easier said than done I know).

    Part of my recent tour of Second Life destinations. Serene Retreat, beautifully detailed. Lots of couples snuggle spots, if that's what you after. Surprisingly crowded for SL time 3:40am in the morning. https://secondlife.com/destination/serene-retreat For tp and info.

    Any clue about this weird unamed sim below Buttercup Valley on the Southern edge of the Ranch region? Looks like void close up.

    I am always nervous suggesting things as there seems to be a kind of magnetic inevitability that I end up running the thing, and I think @Silent Mistwalker is right about the drama that always follows, so what I am saying is 'good move Sid'. @BilliJo Aldrin has it right thought really, in that as this is an official forum then it wouldn't really work in any case. On reflection, one of the reasons I like the forum is because I don't have to organise it, or moderate it, or all the other things that need doing to keep communities in good health. I can just turn up!

    My coathangers are very moody. Some days they just leap for freedom, or get into fights with each other. I try to treat them like bees, moving calmly and being reassuring.

    Maybe some quotes from people who enjoy the forum or who have found it helpful? Links to topics particularly helpful to newbies?
  10. Raspberry Crystal
    What would you include?

    I bought some sock clips. They go through the laundry and stay stuck together in a pair until I wear them!

    Thank you, I tpd in on the other side of the barrier! Actually the displays that are available look well done to me, and there was a newbie looking around when I was there. Maybe this is just about getting more groups involved?

    I went to the Community Exhibition in WelcomeHub. I searched around but couldn't find any exhibits at all, did I miss something or is this a WIP?

    Maybe what is needed here, could be a facility to ignore certain threads? I know some people have asked for that in relation to the land adverts etc. I don't mind the social threads, the pet peeve one in particular can be quite interesting or entertaining.

    It didn't occur to me that there wasn't an off-topic section, I wonder why not? It is such a common thing elsewhere. Maybe it would be seen as too much work for the mods?

    It's Tuesday, restart day. Maybe some of the regions were down and that affected the count?

    After that, presumably to deal with the cholesterol, they get together to perform a Busby Berkley dance spectacular on our roof, just above my bedroom... tap tap shuffle ball change, kick kick..

    Yes, like facebook, following groups is more fun than just being served up the central feed. You can see posts from all the different servers if you follow hashtags for topics or whatever.

    I went to Mastodon, much more peaceful!

    https://secondlife.com/destination/bloom-particles I had a lot of fun floating around at the Bloom Particles Installation.

    There are lots of outdated store links on marketplace unfortunately, and I always check the link to see if it really does lead to an inworld store.

    Wut? @Love Zhaoying this is a joke. I know you were not talking to me!

    It makes me think that they maybe have more than one plan on the go, there are so many variables, including the level of continuing demand for ranch homes! It is like a giant game of connect 4, or whatever that game is called in the US!

    This is the Amberbrooke model in the Fantasy continent. I surprised myself in how much I have enjoyed being here. The woodwork detailing in these models really appealed to me, and the shape of the windows. If I stay I would love to find some ceiling roses. I really appreciate having the 'stucco?' style for the exterior, as it makes a nice change. This hop came after what felt like a 'perfect' stilt on water home which had a clear ocean view on the edge of sim, and for that lot I couldn't make myself decorate beyond a few pieces, my brain has a will of its own!

    That would be lovely, but I would rather they had their own landscaping, something greener?
