Were you not able to find them with Search?

(This question is funny to me. I just finished posting to a thread, in which I was complaining about how I can't find anything in the new Search.)

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

In Second Life, press that "Search" button at the bottom of your screen.

This will bring up a Search menu. Choose the "All" tab.

There is a drop-down list of categories to which you can limit your Search. Based upon the type of things for which you are searching, you might want to select "Places."

Now, start putting some search terms into the Search field, and see if you get the results you want.

yes. Go to "Places" Type South Park into the box and hit search. I would also suggest checking the "Include Mature Content" Box even if you aren't going to engage in fake cartoon sex.

Yah, I figured. There's a lot to learn when you're new. :)

Sometimes people just use 'L' too...like, "I paid 300L for that."

Presumably you can still have a casino in SL if it doesn't have any gambling - like it's a dance club or something, but done out to look like a casino!

LOL - exactly!

Personally, after reading several threads begun by this poster, I'm beginning to think it's someone who wants everything spoon fed to them.

School, study, etc. Dude, we're all busy.

From "Stuff White People Like"

"Statistics

By: David Munoz of Panda Force
White people hate math. If you want to befriend white people, mention “that weird Asian calculus teacher who drew perfect circles” and how much you hated his class (bonus points if you mention how your parents made you get an even worse tutor who was more clueless than you and smelled bad). However, white people are fascinated by “the power of statistics” since the math has already been done for them. Some magazines, like TIME, have a section in each magazine that has some interesting statistics ($80 trillion: the amount spent by the US in the Iraqi war) followed by absurd, barely related ones (4,317 yards: the distance covered if you were to take all the ammunition shells fired by US soldiers in Iraq since the war started). White people who read TIME will quote these statistics, but even non-TIME reading white people will throw in stats they read in a less-than-credible study. It’s not unusual to hear such things as “I don’t mind this neighborhood since I’m not Republican. 80% of them are anti-minority, you know” or “I don’t think you should let Sally play softball because 70% of softball players are lesbians”.

White people love sounding smarter than their peers and will jump at any chance to use a statistic if it’s applicable to the conversation in any way. The more absurd the statistic, the more clever and original you will seem. Stats can also hide negative feelings. If you meet a white person who wishes went to a school that they refer to as the “Harvard of the (Region where the university they attended is), they may say something like “Good thing I didn’t go to an Ivy since 35% of their graduates reported being unhappy with their lives”. It is considered rude to laugh and you should instead smile or throw in another
appropriate statistic if handy.

The only time you should not use a statistic is to ask a white person if they knew “that (random number) % of statistics aren’t true”. You will be seen as being unoriginal, not funny, and will get stared at."
