If you see a capped/uncapped greeting you can reasonably assume that person is into BDSM. Online, Dominants tend to be addressed as capped and submissives as (regular) uncapped.

Ok. I wonder, now, if I've been doing things incorrectly.

Irritates me greatly, though, when I see that (the E/e stuff; or Y/y or . . .). Ack. Really not sure why.

Probably irritates you because it's really stupid.



Maggie, I'm clearly a very simple creature. Can you elaborate?

They'd be DOs, rather than DON'Ts :D

Add: DON'T forget you can turn the whole typing noise off in the Client / Debug menu by setting the Play typing animation to false :)

Hehe. That also irritates me. Just type /0 and then no typing sound, and that "/" also doesn't appear in the chat log. My I seem to irritate easily. Sorry. :)

DON'T expect the grid to be back up when SL first says it will
DON'T expect it to be back when they say on the second time

DON'T expect it back up when you want it back up

Just in case anyone missed it




[UPDATED 11 Dec 07, 11:45 p.m.]

The reversion is taking a bit more time than anticipated. Regrettably, we need to extend our projected downtime until 2 pm Pacific.

Wait! DO SHOOT a Linden! They're so rare in SL these days, it'd be like scoring a prize buck. Get its head on a plinth and stick it on SL Exchange. You'll be rich...rich, I tells ya!

That made my eyes hurt :o

Add : DON'T spam the chat at live music events with huge 40-line gestures. Sometimes people might want to interact with the musician, reply to their questions, ask the host where the tip jars are or how to join a fan group.

Try to explain someone how to use a sex-o-matic rug by hoping on one of the poseballs and then going AFK while wife is home.

/b/ is a "random" board on a certain online forum/image board.
It consists of just random images/humor and is at many times NSFW.

Ironically, I didn't know http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/B/, wasn't safe for work until I tried to go to it. Oops.

Don't instantly put website links into a browser and go to them! Or you will be fired! Maybe! hehe.

Heh, now that the gentle reader has investigated this link, allow me to point out that that half naked girl pictured within is not safe for work.

I feel like I've sort of learned two things. The first being that I don't understand lolcatz, and probably never will. And the second is a vague impression of what /b/ is. But the cost is pretty high, as all the inlined images in this thread prove.

/b/ is the 'random' board on the large 4chan.org community. It is where hell freezes over hourly

EDIT::

Only rules on /b/ are no Child Porn, and don't talk about /b/ =P

I got banned.. so I don't care if I talk about /b/

Fall asleep while shopping in SL just to realize that you have been walking against that wall for some time just when you wake up.

Select multiple items to delete them quickly while your view range is set far enough to also accidently delete your buildings 250m away.

Take a DJ job during server maintenance downtime.

Make that street-floor prim "group acess" just to see your group accidently wearing your floor while trying to pick up their stuff.

I've been trying to figure out for a long time why I sometimes see people say stuff like "Hello E/everyone" and the like. It happens too often to be a slip of the fingers.

the E/everyone, W/we Y/you and such are BDSM terms to refer to both Dominants and submissives at once, as submissives are not refferred to with a capital letter while Dominants are. I don't know if its general BDSM or started with Gor... probably just general tho

In ten months I've never run across this until I visited a particular university in SL. I was later told that the university had a very "Gor" feel to it, even though Gor was not overtly mentioned at the place.

University of Submission likely. Not a Gor school but BDSM definitely, and they do teach the proper wording, such as Master, Mistress, Miss, Sir, sister, brother, W/we, A/all, Y/you, E/everyone

Good place in my opinion

EDIT:: Thinking back, they have books of Gor in their library, and are willing to teach Gorean principles if the person learning plans to be a Kaijira. Otherwise though generally they do 'normal' BDSM values and such, which Gor is really just that with a little more of the 'men are better' and maybe a little more strict sometimes
