I barely log in anymore but my land business still does all right. I joined SL in 2007 and got really involved in 2008 in the middle of the recession. Second Life was huge then because it is cheap entertainment. You can enjoy live music and just tip the performer $2, rent a plot of land of...

I've always been pretty bad with shapes, and bought mine years ago, though I adjusted it a bit over the years. Getting a mesh head was very frustrating because I had to copy the settings from one to the other. And mesh head shapes are REALLY hard because they look terrible on an OG head and vice...

I met Prok briefly IRL at a Second Life convention about 10 years ago. While I realize you can't assume gender by appearance, they did not dress/present as male at all. I would still address their avatar as male since that is how they are choosing to live in SL, but I saw no evidence of them...

I always wondered why nobody did this to keep gambling going, or non-nerfed skill gaming. Buy tokens on a third party site, use them to play games in SL, cash out on third party site. Or use L$ to buy credits, cash out winnings in USD or crypto on third party site. Or the pachinko method: play...

Can I buy gachas with bitcoin? Wouldn't surprise me if someone tries it.

I had a feeling I should pop back into the forums after a year or so of almost never reading. Once again, Linden Lab has taken an ax to a major source of income for creators in SL, and they’ve gone about it in the most boneheaded way possible. I understand that there are regulatory reasons...

Another estate owner here. It does sound like they were being harsh. If I or my estate manager had seen this title on the land, we would have just checked in to find out if you were opening a club and let you know that clubs are not allowed on that particular region. If you said you were not...

I think most of them are bots. I mean, why would you want to pay a cut to other people when you could just fire up a bunch of text viewers or bots and set them up? I don’t allow AFK places on my adult rentals because they create lag and prevent real people from using the region. I’ve seen a...

So they are bringing back last names but also bringing back what was stupid about them, having to choose from a list instead of being able to create your own. I’m disappointed. Everyone I know who wants to change their last name has a reason and a specific last name in mind. For example, my good...

Yeah I don’t think they are predatory. I support legalization of regulated gambling in real life, but even if you don't, most of the risks of gambling are absent with gacha. If you lose gambling or skill gaming, you leave with nothing. With gacha you always get something and you can choose to...

I would really like to hear from SL merchants regarding income from gacha vs just selling items. But based on my experience running a gaming place for a couple of years, skill games, gambling, whatever you want to call it are extremely popular among a subset of people. They enjoy the excitement...

This is why I always have my mesh body's bits alpha-ed out/turned off. And yes, if you don't do this people can see you nakie when you land in a busy sim. I've seen so many naked people with a dress attached to their arm dancing at music events!

Sucks that OP was a douche because there’s actually stuff worth discussing here. I’m not upset about having to provide identity information, I understand it’s the law, it’s just annoying to have to do it again when I previously provided them with the same information. Can’t they just transfer...

Every time I do the captcha, it sends me to the main court page instead of to the text of the lawsuit, and then I don’t know how to find it. So I haven’t been able to read the actual complaint beyond the screenshots on her Twitter. But from what I can conclude, she is both an unpleasant person...

Mine is pretty famous. There was a whole thread about it on the old SL Universe forums, but I don’t think it’s available anymore. The short version: When I was a baby land baron in 2008, I made the mistake of giving a corner of my main island to a guy who was building a replica of Disney’s...
