I used to have a full set of internal organs. It was just fun too see how many people cammed through me.
Then I decided I'd rather spend that complexity on things everyone will see.

The fee should increase based on the number of events posted within a certain timeframe.
Perhaps you could post 7 events a week for L$10 each.
Then the next 7 would be L$100 each.
And the next 7 after that L$1000 each.
Something along those lines. Exact numbers presented here are probably a terrible idea, but it's the principle I think would work.

I don't know, men who are a bit thick certainly make me choke. On venomous bile, thereby proving the snake theory.
But then again, women who are a bit thick cause that too, so I'm not sure it's a gender thing.
this wonderful post was brought to you by the exhaustion of a full day christmas shopping with inlaws

Yep, I usually take off ALL my huds before leaving home and I also use Firestorm's built-in AO. Where possible, I make copies of my hair, clothing and shoes in my favourite colours and delete the scripts form those too. Unfortunately most hair and clothing these days is no-mod and has no option to delete scripts, which is annoying.
Yep. It's a bit of an aside for this topic, but I actually stopped buying clothes that are no mod and offer no way to delete the scripts. Why? Well, I got this pair of panties. Three scripts in this tiny scrap of fabric. And because it's part of a lingerie set - including bra, garter and panties - that's a total of nine scripts that I won't actually be using after I decide on a color. Beyond the pale!

Age-play in it's self is not an offence. There is nothing in the ToS I could see that explicitly or suggestively states that age-play on it's own is an offence. It's only an offence if one does so for the purpose of engaging, stalking or luring minors, or when doing so in a sexual or sexually suggestive or lewd manner.
See and read the following very carefully:
Now age-play as a whole may offend your sensibilities, but is not an offence in SL.
There's probably some language barrier thing going on here, but from the very example you quoted...
"Post, display or transmit any material, object or text that encourages, represents, or facilitates sexual "*****," i.e., using child-like avatars in a sexualized manner. This activity is grounds for immediate termination."
That activity is, for the record, practically the definition of the word *****. Roleplaying a child nonsexually is not *****, which is indeed against the ToS.

Here's an idea though, what if adult events are legitimate events, and that rating should be usable too?
Instead it was all just ads. It's not even events. It's just the SL equivalent of "hot single ladies in your local sim! come visit us~" and there's at least fewer now that it costs money.
The fee is a necessity. The events list might actually be usable to find events now, which means you might actually get traffic from it. Consider the fee an investment in an event listing that people might actually be able to find.

I've always found that demo reviews are, if policed for obvious "review bombing" just as valuable as the rest. Those gaps, for example, might not appear when someone tries the demo, and so reading about them in the reviews would allow them to not miss that flaw. I personally always read reviews for both the demo and the full product.
-
The Legacy demo is no longer on the marketplace, I just found out.
Kind of a shame, a friend of mine was interested in it. Anyone know what happened to that?

Correct, many of the DJs grab songs nicking them off a video site or torrent. The ethical way to get music is via your own collection or through legal CD/DJ pools or online stores. Those are a good way to build up the collection. Compilation CDs are a good way to build a decent library.
That wouldn't make broadcasting it any more legal to broadcast. DJ culture has always been kind of a a gray area. You'd go to the vinyl store, buy some music and then play those, but that's not actually enough to be legally in the clear. You'd also need a license to perform that music in public, and those cost quite a bit.
This goes doubly for "free" DJs like in SL, where few get paid anything significant beyond just tips, and mostly do it for fun. Technically it's probably against the law. But nobody would ever prosecute.

Well, the positives have already been stated, so here's some reasons why you might not want it:
It's over 800k polygons. In comparison, the slink bodies are about 16k, and the Maitreya a bit over 200k. Everyone around you will suffer worse performance, and thanks to SL being SL, having a gaming computer doesn't help much.
The script count is massive, and you have no option of deleting the scripts, so you probably shouldn't wear it to any events.
Finally, TMP, the company that made it, has previously cut and run on their products, leaving customers high and dry without delivering promised updates.

The SL "boom" didn't quite happen in 2006 when joining became free though, I'd say it was closer to 2007. Initially the people who joined with free basic accounts were similar to the older ones, just... cheaper. All the media attention bloomed as a *result* of the free accounts.
The boom times would be around when the GossipGirl last name was introduced which was late 2007... so SLoomers would start a little before that.

What, the old place at Baku? I was seriously underwhelmed by what looked like a trainwreck of poorly built memes populated by a closed clique who were so far up their assholes their were looking out at the world through their teeth. Yeah, they all thought they were oh-so-clever and avante-garde because they could write a sim-crasher script. I managed to get myself banned from Baku in and amongst some of my early-day shenanigans.
Baku was, at least for a time, W-hat's home, which would be Something Awful rather than 4chan, and I always found the builds amazing for the time. They even participated in some Relay for Life sessions with entire video game themed builds.
4chan was more centered around Woodbury University, and their thing was more about sim crashers and such.

Originally there was a distinct difference between the super old players (who joined SL when joining cost money) and those of us who joined after free accounts became a thing. But it's more or less gone now.
While I do agree that there are differences between SL generations, is draw the something like...
1) super oldies. So dedicated to SL that they joined while it cost money. Mostly nerds and techy types, so the same as...
2) oldies, who joined when basic accounts happened. Just about the same as group 1. This generation brought in a lot of casual users as well, but because you had to make everything and everything looked very blocky back then, I think only a few of them stayed.
3) Residents. Those who missed the last name train. This was, from what I remember, also when mesh was introduced, which meant that creating became less important in-world, so a lot of these users never learned the building stuff or scripting. This made the game a lot more friendly to the average Joe, and this is when the game stopped being so dominated by nerds, because you could actually look beautiful! They, I think, are the majority of SL users active today?
4) Late joiners? Nowadays SL has little mass appeal, but new people do join. Which means new, young nerds who are curious about the virtual world, who mostly slot into groups 1 and 2 despite the age difference. Though many are also more like group 3. This group in general is even more vague than the others.
As with the original list, these are very hazy definitions and entirely anecdotal.

Do consider if it's worth using the event calendar at all... Especially now before the price hike. Have one event without using it and then another using it. I'd dare guess you'll get almost no additional traffic by posting an event. That's because nobody (anecdotally anyway - I don't have statistics) actually uses it to search for events in its current state, only to post them.

Updates? From TMP? Hah.
All jokes aside if they actually did push out an update soon I'd actually accept that as proof of them having changed their ways. One can always hope.

Has this body gotten any significant updates yet? It's really hard to find any of public changelog. In particular reduced script count or the ability to delete them all, fewer layers and some kind of fix for the gaps?

Does anyone actually use the events listing in its current state, other than club owners? Every event I go to, I hear about through word of mouth, mainly because the events list is so full of spam that it's practically unusable. I don't think you're getting much traffic through it unless they start charging.

Marketplace fee increase - sad but I do believe it's necessary, SL's fees have always been super low.
New last names, yay! Can't wait to be something more exciting than Field.
New premium... Well, if it gives me 2048 of land with no extra tier fee and costs less than 7 extra per month I'll do it. Otherwise not interested. Unless a monthly RP session with Soft Linden is one of the perks.

It turns out that Frank's Elite will not be closing apparently. Only all the other Frank's locations. This was just in a notice.

I was mostly thinking about how shopping events are skewed to women. I'm not even aware of male events. Are there sims where the guys are all hanging out?
@FairreLilette Thanks! It's my avatar that comes out every winter.
There are a few male shopping events. As expected, they all have "Man" or "Men" in their names, so they're easy to find.

This is not about all men, but my experience with men and shopping. And why I am not so interested in beeing a personal shopper. It is not fun for me.
1: The enthusiast, who want a full makeover, but who rejects everything. Oh, he is keen om getting my options and suggestions, then he turns them down. But always nice and polite.
2. The grumpy, who refuse to buy anything at all until someone makes ***JUST*** what he want, down to the most teeny detail. Then he buys 1 of it in 1 color, and never buy more. He spend the next years lamenting that no one makes quality things for men, and posts on the forums why he's never shopping.
Maybe the enthusiast is the same as the grumpy, just in a better mood.
Where most of females can buy a new hairstyle just because they are bored. We does not stop shopping if we don't find ***JUST*** the hair we want, we buy something else instead.
I certainly don't buy things that I "kind of" like just for the sake of buying something. 😧 That feels like harmful stereotyping. The difference is that there usually is another creator making exactly that thing you want that the others don't, because of how vast the market is for women.
-
It's totally true, too. A male who's actually good-looking and good at roleplay and whatnot will probably have a long line of ladies fawning over him like he's some kind of precious unicorn. And that's because they are,, thanks to SL's gender imbalance.
Granted if you don't like that kind of activities, I'd imagine the male side of SL might have less to offer. Other than the activities everyone can enjoy, like creating, or just listening to music.

You know, it's possible that a large proportion of all the terrible, tasteless women's clothing is actually being bought by men.
I don't blame the buyers. Whoever they are, when the jeans apocalypse comes, they'll be happy they hoarded all those miniskirts and shorts. They'll sit there in their palace of thongs, knot tops, and sheer camisoles, with their denim-enforced and very curvy walls. All of us outside, we'll be wearing sweaters or long skirts, or even *gasp* pants, and we'll beg to be allowed into their kingdom for even a small taste of that precious fabric against our feeble bodies. And they'll laugh.

Every time I go to male clothing shops with friends I sigh longingly. There's so much cool stuff whereas the big ladies' clothiers are pushing out monthly variations of "tank top with abyssal cleavage and ultra short jeans shorts".

Turn On Fly Or I Won't Buy
in General Discussion Forum
Posted
More than once I've been asked to not fly in extremely expansive stores, at which point I teleport home and spend my money elsewhere. It's just one of those things.
One of my favorite furniture stores has flight disabled but the landing point is fixed on a bridge well outside of the actual store, meaning without flight you need to run for like 15 seconds to even see any vendors. I always fly. That one has, at least, never complained about it, but it makes me question why they disable flight to begin with.
