I have two suggestions I really think we need, the second one being, by far, more important to me.
1. Rope Physics As the name implies, we need "rope" Physics. What this does (not available for ALL of the shapes) Is turn the object into, basicly, a rope. You would be able to place 'pins' in the rope. These 'pins' are what hold that part of the rope in it's spot. You would be able to script a 'pin' to fall on command etc. (Use this to make a falling rope bridge, for example. If we tied a solid object to a rope, using link, it would stay attached to the rope as it goes down. Just picture that falling falling rope bridge I mentioned and you can get a good idea of what im talking about. I know this may be a challenge to create, but with what ive seen Linden Labs do already, it should be a peice of cake!
Now, this second one is so important to me I would kiss whichever Linden Lab staff member(s) who create this.
A Sim, one single sim, that would basicly be a HUGE marketplace where TG AND MG Players could come to. My friend plays on the MG and ive seen so many amazing sights thatm quite frankly, im jealous, frustrated, and any other angry emotion you can imagine, all because I cannot get ANY of these items made by more talented people. I don't mean to put down every builder in the TG, but hey, you gotta admit that the adults in MG have had far mroe experience and are far better then we are.
A faithful SL TG player, Jinn Saarinen.

Ben Linden has been working on flexible prims... you can find a link to a video on his blog. http://secondlife.blogs.com/bulkupload/As for a TG & MG shared sim, it would have to be heavily supervised and policed as to not result in any inappropriate cross grid communications. Protecting minors is required by US federal law.

I know this may be a challenge to create, but with what ive seen Linden Labs do already, it should be a peice of cake! Real flexibility is very hard math. I'd be happy to just have joints that worked. You can make chains currently, but they'll crash the sim from the physics engine trying to work it out. OTOH, rope would be great for BDSM.

A faithful SL TG player, Jinn Saarinen. That paragraph makes a lot more sense when you realize it means "Teen Grid" and "Main Grid", not "Transgender" and "Multigender". ... So, the teen grid/main grid thing is also not a good idea, because underage contact with the main grid, which is to be honest a cesspool of sex, gambling, and more sex (and we like it that way, apparently), is almost certainly not a good idea and probably illegal in most states. If you want the neat stuff from the main grid, you're gonna have to build it yourself or wait until you're 18. It might be possible for LL to authorize sales of some items across grids, but that's a lot of work, and the porno merchants would feel slighted and scream loudly.

Mmm...now it all become clear to me. Thank for translation Kami  But that might be interesting  (and way to make many L$ too!  ) Oh btw. Torley, where is that TG forum?  Could I have a sneak visit?  Or player of MG can't get to there?

I don't have to become a Castroti first do I? Joking aside, I've been cleared to work in a previous life (my real one) to work in schools, which requires a background check, i still have the papers from the state agencies around here somewhere... I assume thats the sort of thing that would be required. The marketplace sim could result in a trade deficite between the grids.
