Interesting post Glenn. Where is this information about 300,000 conservative bans? I've never heard about that though I did note a substantial drop in posters on the forums.

Poster above is one of them. I knew many who knew many more and many more. It was the first major act Oberwager committed upon his first log in. He was so experienced in digital worlds he needed staff to teach him how to make his avatar walk. I was there to witness that. Of course, I saved many of the staff conversations as proof, because we all know that they would never allow any evidence of their actions to be published or acknowledged. Just like MSDNC would do. But I assure you, the thousands of us exist and are now in OpenSIm or moved on. Some have even died, as a result of health or old age.

SL managed to survive it's first legal hurdle by banning Gambling and Banking. By moving their servers to Iceland, to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Then around 2017, they moved to the Amazon "cloud". So very responsible and law abiding virtue signalers. Eventually, the E.U. caught up with them and that is why they are on Crapazon servers.

Want to test how much SecondLife cares about you? Try to call a customer service number. You can call billing which winds up being some house bound, blue haired, uneducated and clueless simpleton who doesn't understand laws or basic economics. But try to actually call ANY number you could possibly find at their San Freakcisco HQ. You will be met with either a voicemail that is full or number not working. So very caring of paying customers who they expect to pay $500+ for sims. The best you can do is contact their "Online" chat. And then you are met with arrogance, virtue signaling, incompetence, apathy and more regardless of your financial investment. They prefer freeloaders who offer nothing and merely a number of existence in their statistics.

As for the forums, well if you post anything they disagree with, if you are not politically aligned your post is censored, removed and you are suspended. Even if you provided the correct solution to a problem. Even if you posted something positive for the community. So why would I and thousands of others waste ANY of our time posting on a forum that will only delete or prevent your post from being even entered? Now that we have AI to push the agenda, I am sure SL will jump on that to make censorship way more efficient. Like the NY Post! Check out the massive drops in their article discussions. Go woke, go broke, good riddance.

Some people are just sensitive about certain subject matter. Has nothing to do with their level of intelligence, just what triggers them emotionally.

I can understand people's sensitivity, but I don't think his comment and reaction are justified.

The post is quite clear, and there are valid comments and responses, even emotionally. The concern is legitimate, and in the post, there are a series of questions. What does blocking someone have to do with this post? He should have expressed his thoughts, but instead, he clearly stated, 'SL is SL, OS is OS, I'll block anyone who talks about SL in this place, you're the first!' I believe it has little to do with his 'noble' mood; it's just a silly comment since the topic of any new laws to regulate the metaverses would apply to all of us who inhabit them.

In addition, he behaves even more foolishly and questionably by unblocking blocked individuals to respond and then blocking them again (hahaha, amusing but ridiculous). This behavior reflects on the quality of actions of this person, which is why his comments will be deleted, always.

It's the result of cancel culture. My last name is aptly named based on how many times I was for over 25+ years of internet experience.I see Fresh's point though that this website should be focused on OpenSim and not toxic SecondLife which is just ONE GRID, though the one that started it all and most famous. I personally indulge in payback and block woketards proactively since it was done to me for years.

However I do think you are partly right OpenLife about fresh's reaction being a bit overboard and hasty. But everyone wanted cancel culture and got it, now they are against it?

One thing I am sick of in life is saying "I told you so" so many freaking times. But alas, it applies again.

Unfortunately the things that happen in SL, also happen here, just on a smaller scale and at a later date.

The selection of the different toys whether through the settings or the expanded hud part. I click them and it is like I get a different surprise with each click :) That and texturing them. I been muddeling my way through but not from knowing what I am doing

Yes, lots of choice :) If you ever get confused in the choice of colors / materials, you can always "Reset colors" from the settings Menu. This will bring them back to their original colors and material.

I don't know much about scripting but wondering what Opensim version you are seeing these changes on?

Same as Suzi I thought this look was quite interesting but after picking up the package realized the head was neither included nor referenced making it very difficult to imitate as none of the heads I do have came close to approximating the look. Would be much appreciated if you could tell us which head you used for the look. The hair might be nice too but not as essential.

my mistake! excuse me.... the head used is

there are so many details to take care of when you assemble something like this, that there are always details that escape, I always appreciate that you tell me these faults and so I can improve them quickly ♥

Addendum, after arriving at Welcome. I jumped to the Dreamland region and found a teleport board that included Chubelz_Ostermarkt and on clicking that, arrived there without problem. Bit of a workaround but doable.

Plenty of female avatars prefer the petite bodies because of their more realistic breast sizes. You'd be better off going after the people who prey on younger looking avatars. That is possible.

I'm starting to think too that it is petrified dinosaur poo like LaviaLavine said. We need a chemical composition analysis to solve this!

We should argue about lack of emojis as I believe it makes us appear stone faced!

Well, they can help or they can hurt, emojis that it. It is like trying to read ancient Egyptian. Not everyone gets the meaning you intended. But the ones that do...well maybe they won't be mad at you. Maybe they will agree with you. Or it could start a war. :) I still want emojis though.

True the emoji's might prevent some taking a comment the wrong way as a smile can avert a big debate. :)

So it is all a misunderstanding? Seem to happen a lot in SL where one creator wrongly accuses another of copying their content. Guess we will see that more and more as Opensim fills with content.

I forget about the group here and only look at updates on the Discord group. Have to try to remember to look here too.

The "What I Found In OS" Discord group is a guide to the best shops that carry certain types of items. It's on Discord because it's possible to better organize the info. The group here is the place to ask to find specific items.(although that may be happening in the Discord group too).

I'm still learning my way around Discord. If anyone wants to visit the group there, this might work:

I've seen something like that on a couple of occasions but for the life of me forgot where. Somebody in the old Metro grid had it though.
