Best combined with a fixed TP entry, so I can't TP-to after doing an area search for what I was after.
I have a physical teleport script that uses excessive llMoveTo() to simulate teleporting. It goes right through walls.

Issues like that, and the fact that SL does not deal well with too many vendor textures, are why I prefer to shop on the marketplace.
I sat in one place for 20 minutes last night before I gave up. Part of the blame might go to some cloud disruption, but I also think my graphical memory maxed out on a not weak card.

"Bugger this, I'll shop elsewhere" is my usual reaction.
Boxed demos with script unpack in no rez no script shop.


And a group inviter that won't give up.

Let's see, unboxing each demo, multiple floating DEMO signs in the way, multiple possible configurations and the demo doesn't show the one I want, no link to in world store to see if there's individual demos there, did find it in world search tho.

If it wasn't a thing I think would be perfect for an outfit I've have fucked off long ago.

ETA: at the store now, can't teleport or zoom to the item on Area Search, getting angry.

And same lonely demo of one configuration in the store. Fuck you.

I've got about 5 of those things going and can't figure out how to stop them.

Ah yes ..... a 24-hour LL forum ban for *checks notes* nothing more than soft responding (no quote block) to another poster who challenged two different Lindens as to why their content was removed from a thread to remind said poster that more than just their "question" was removed and that said removed posts were quite verbally abusive to anyone who did not agree with their take on the topic at hand.

Such a rational thing to go and do in response! Couldn't have simply removed the post, oh no!

It may not always be helpful, but you do getthe device location in the message. One I got was luckily actually a real subscription device, so once I found it I could unsubscribe, but there's no requirement that a "subscribo" script implement that.

The actual device was at high altitude in a no-fly estate surrounded by a maze of nested "cyberpunk" skyboxes. About all it was missing was a sign saying "beware of the leopard".

I did have one that was easy. One of the live singers had scripted his own entertainer hud and made it so anyone that appeared on the sim he was singing on automatically got subscribed. He had a lot of angry folks after him for awhile until he took it down.

All the ones I currently have are for shopping events. The first one was Cosmopolitan, which I did go to one time, and have had them dogging me ever since. I am thinking they have either sold their list, or are running many events and using the same list. Because I very rarely go shopping at all.

Are mesh body and body part stores the new meat market?

I hit LeLUTKA to see about some demo heads, and 2 separate guy avatars IMed me within a minute. And it was not about asking for help with LeLUTKA heads...

I haven't had that at one of those locations (yet), but I had a doozy when I was on Twisted the other day.
Also, a notice went out to the Maitreya group because of having to ban vampires until the Bloodlines pack get the hint.
Some bozos think they can make wherever they want into their they territory. 🙄

From what I have gathered, it is a system called Progeny. Progeny's response to the bad press is to now have a product called Progeny Stealth Fangs. Apparently Progeny dos not ask for permission. Seems to be available in world only. I have little information on it at this time.

Interesting. Sounds like they’re even worse than the worst Bloodliners?
I’ll pass the word to the mods.
They said people would be only banned if they were wearing fangs; I guess they can tell without camming on them. If they can detect one product, though, I imagine they can detect another. If not these avatars will probably find themselves banned by name. The Maitreya mods sounded piseed off enough as it is.

Maitreya has a ban systm in place already, I verified its existance a bit earlier. I'll not discuss its name or maker in the open though.
