I was half way through reading a thread which I think was called something like How do I have intercourse on sl. Tried to find it again and poof it seems to have gone.
It was making me laugh a lot so would have liked to read the rest of it. Yea ok Im only asking out of curiousity not that I would indulge in anything like that myself
Not much lol
Anyone know where the thread went?

LOL!!

I think I'd remember a thread like that . . .

Where did you see it? I don't think it was here in the RA forum, unless you were reading a long-dead thread. Threads, even locked ones, don't just "disappear" here: they gradually fall of the board as they are displaced by newer ones.

Maybe try using a search?

And if you find it, let us know. I've always wondered how to have . . .

What did you say it was about? :D

And the answer is, yes - definitely.



or no.



It moves the air, creating what are called sound waves, but if there are no ears and brains to interpret that movement as sound, then it could be said that no sound occurs. From that point of view, sound doesn't exist outside the ear/brain setup - only pressure waves in the air exist. It's similar to light. Illumination doesn't actually exist. It's just an interpretation of what they eye/brain make of photons that stream into the eye. I.e. a room isn't illuminated when the light is turned on - it's actually pitch black.

What was the topic of this thread again?

Yeah, I have only known one thread from here that completely disappeared and that was full of extreme racist and homophobic abuse.

Threads on Second Life Answers disappear occasionally.

If you were reading it recently, try your browser history.

Well, we now have at least 5 witnesses to this thread, should it disappear. As far as the topic is concerned, that is another issue.

If a topic is derailed, does the original topic exist in that thread any more (i.e. the never ending thread)?

No thread title with intercourse in it, not even social intercourse.

This one seems most likely

The original topic in the 'never ending thread' doesn't exist any more, but not because it was derailed. It's because the OP deleted right at the start.

All topics exist in the neverending thread, by definition.

To answer the OP:

I've never seen a forum or blog post that describes in detail how to have cybersex. Partly, that's because these forums are (supposedly) PG, and the Moderators probably would take down such a discussion. And partly, it's because innuendo and double entendre are so much more fun. Less descriptive, but more fun.

But, if anyone is actually thinking they need more explicit information on the topic, I teach a class in world on Sex and Relationships. Friday nights, 7 pm SL time, GQ Start in the Santa Lucia region. Check the Events listings for a SLURL.

Oddly enough, that class is PG too, like these forums.

Well, ok then, I didn't know that since I was not witness to the deletion. But, what about this thread? Is the topic:

1. Sex in SL?
2. Disappearing threads (as the title would suggest)?
3. or the nature of perception?
4. or Pie?

I think we should start a poll.

It's obviously 3 - the nature of perception. It may not be what the OP intended, but she did ask a question that concerns the nature of her own perception, as you so cleverly pointed out in your first post, so that's the thread's topic.

Listen guys I may be a little bit crazy at times but...........I did read a lot of that thread. I remember someone actually suggested that she first learned to take her clothes off before attempting to have sex. ermmm is that really necessary lol.
There was lots of stuff about finding the poseballs and 'bobs your uncle' etc.

Threads do sometimes get totally deleted... there was one a few months ago (I don't think it's the one spinster is thinking of, but it was turning nasty). Did literally vanish before my eyes... even link from browser history didn't work.

Oh, we believe you. If it's a forum post, it's probably around here somewhere, but with a title that doesn't tie in well with the subject matter so it's hard to find in Search. If it's a blog post, the moderators probably axed it.

Trying doing a keyword search on the text of the postings, rather than on the title, using a reasonably distinctive word or phrase that you know for sure appeared there. Um, "sexual intercourse" might well work, for instance . . .

Was it Spike's introduction to the forums perhaps?

Threads, even locked ones, don't just "disappear" here
Well, back in the day when there were actually moderators here, threads would often just disappear. We even had a few threads discussing why other threads were disappearing.

Hmmm. And Ee is right, too: there WAS a thread -- a particularly obnoxious one -- that did just go "poof" here a while ago. But I can't remember what it was about. :(

And is it me, or did the thread on the new HXO Viewer get deleted, too? It mentioned a viewer much more advanced than Cryolife and had three youtube videos. It's gone, unless I'm blind.
