Since when is Learning to Host is a education event!?!?!??!?!

Am i missing something here????????? Learning to Host is a education event?
LLabs is paying for this stuff? Its a class being helded on TeaZer Isle

I sure hope this is not real!?
In my days you learned the hard way........But paying to hold this kind of education event?????????? Its worry some!

"How to greet your visitors 101"

1. Do not say "Fuck off or take off that hair and bloody bling!"

2. DO change the theme between "naked hour" and "bikini hour" often

3. DO "^6^^A^S^HOWWWLLLLL^^^^#^^$^$^$^#^$^" Ad nauseam.

Cute......... But this is serious.........Hosting is a education event???????

OMG
this is so lame! whats next how to bullsh`t LLabs into thinking learning to walk is a education event too! ]

Am I missing something here?

Knee-jerk reactions aside, if you are a noob and new to Second Life, you just may have no idea what it means to host an event.

The first event I ever attended in SL was a Linden-run class on how to put events on the calendar, attract people to my event, and how to collect my support.

I don't see anything wrong with a class like this as long as its really being taught, by an instructor, ON TOPIC.

no its not lame. there are people out there who don't know how to host an event.

dammit... oh gods now i'm going to rant.. you've really done it now.

look you can't have it both ways. You want all events on the calendar hosted? You want good events? Then hosts are needed. Being an event host is a thankless job that pays MAYBE 250L if you are lucky. If you are even luckier you can put out a tip jar and once people are done paying the musician, dj, dancers, buying clothes and whatnot then maybe you can get 5 or 10 L out of them becuase hosting an event is easy right?

Its not. You have to get there early. You often have to do a fair amount of setup. You are *on* for 2 hours straight and you don't normally get a break and you can't leave when it gets boring -- as a matter of fact, that's when you have to be your most effusive.

But there are people out there who don't know this. They don't know to get there early, they don't know what to do if a bunch of griefers attack, they don't know what to do if everyone falls silent, etc etc. So there's a class in it -- how is that bad? How is teaching people to host good events a bad thing? I just don't get this.

Here is the deal with is .in the begaining we learned from otehrs doing the job...I sorry but learning to host take more skills then a person in the game for only 2 months or so. BTW does this person does not belong to instructors group THANK GOD! Hence she does NOT get paid by LLabs. But come on this eduction event is a joke

lol

Sorry But this person been in the game 2/21/2006 and she claims she knows all? It appears she is aiming for instructor tag. But If LLabs lets person to be judged on this event as a learning then LLabs is indeed lacking in substance in the learning event department..

OMG almost 1 year and 7 month worth of learning under me and someone was cute enought to think Hosting is a education event!!?!?!?!? GESH things have gone down hill alot these days.

I look for in the near future that Instructors will no longer be paid by LL to give a class and the only ones that will be left is the ones willing to give classes for the reason we should be. Sharing with others and doing it because we wish to.

Like so many things it is being gamed now and same as in the past when LL catches up to it it will go away.

I give my classes and dont put in for the LL payment, why? I do it for the shear joy of sharing And will continue to do so no matter what happens.

There have been classes teaching the basics of building in SL, things like how to make and texture prims. Why is this any different?

Toy are those people on teazer being paided but LLabs?

I always do this service for free. but charging people for this is a joke!

There is a diff don`t you think? People skills as a host and physical skills for building..
There is a diff.......

to my knowledge most are, they apply to be an Instructor as a benefit to teaching a class.

so this class on teazer is being paid by LLabs? OMG that is a joke!

This is exactly the kind of prejudice that makes hosting events such a thankless chore. Events couldn't possibly require as much skill as building, right? There's no way there could be any tips, tricks, items, or scripts an instructor could pass on that could benefit aspiring event hosts, right?

I think your barking up the wrong tree here...........
Sorry but hosting just is too lame of a educational event then say sripting and structure building.........Building structures and objects building has more substance then Hosting.........Specially with a player only in the game from 2/21/2006

I rest my case.

there is no value ffor this Hosting event to even be posted and being paid for by LLabs........
True anyone can host. Hosting takes experience not this type of off the walk bull```` ....but you just don`t go around saying you can create a eduction event like hosting LAME LAME LAME LLABS!.SHAME ON YOU!

If she is not an instructor, why do you care? and how do you know she plans to be an instructor? Did you play 20 questions with her just so you can belittle her on the forums?

Man where was this class when I needed it?

I know but take alook at toy remark it makes you think

It makes me think you are starting trouble...

Public speaking is a course in college and in fact is one of the general education requirements in many colleges.

Yet everyone knows how to speak. So why bother?

They bother because there are nuances, details, little tricks that are useful to you and can help you be better at it.

How is this any different?

Lmfao
I think this kind of class is great... maybe if you took a class like this, Asri and I would have never fired you..

Your taking too easy of a view of this......This is a education event about hosting, where is all about experience. Building is moving touching molding objects.

Ok you can say hosting is the same right well........is it? I don`t think so...

You can`t teach hosting like this its learn by doing.......nuances, details etc as you say part of of the learning curve of hosting.....Hence you get only about 10% learning from this type of event education class. Not even closer to the worth of people like this play that was born 2/21/2006 is offering...... Its Lame! and gesh host a bad name.
