Alt Party!!!!

ah so now non-profit are an exception to the advertisement rules?
owners of the hangout?
isn`t the FC owned by everyone who chipped in?
most clubs make only a nice loss so i guess while they do not make profit, they are non-profit aswell

funny to see the defending of the double standards as usual, mute who ever says the truth, guess it hurts...

can we please not all have a go at alicia.
yes, maybe she may have been a bit abrasive, but she was just telling her opinion in her own way.
i dont want this to turn into a debate on what belongs in RA. all i wanted was a thread people could post suggestions in and a place i could keep people informed.
don`t like it...well i am not forcing you to read it!

I gave up telling posters what to do when I gave up my message board,so don't worry about that. I never said my opinion over rode anything.

We were always allowed to discuss forum hangout events when Strife was here,because they were about the forum, for the forum,created by the people of the forum.No money is exchanging hands,there are no profits to be made.Just people coming together in world for the sake of the forum people. If you don't see a difference,than I don't know what to tell you. We just disagree I guess.

That reminds me, has Strife visited the hangout since the vacation? Oh, and Strife still posts on the forum, seems to be stuck in script land though.

discussing about the FC is NOT advertising events of wich anyone else would get flamed for

Sorry Claire,but as a mother of two mentally disabled children or "retards" as Alicia likes to call people,I find her offensive and just crude. You can give an opinion without being a complete ass. I will bow out of this thread now though,since all my cheesecake is gone.

Claire - someone mentioned what needs to be filled out in the profiles.....I was curious as well. Perhaps 1st and 2nd life tabs and keep the picks out? Do you think there should be any specific stipulations?

Whenever I need to have more than one client logged in on one computer, I run one real client (I prefer OnRez, but also have tested this with Windlight, Nicolaz, and the SL Client) and one copy of SLeek. Of course, this only works if both avs are to be in the same location. I use the av on my main client to push my SLeek av to where it needs to be and use my main client to find out the names of objects for my SLeek av to sit on.

Works pretty well. I can chat from both, but my computer doesn't crash because it only has to 3D process the scene once.

Just a thought for those who want to bring mains and alts

Dearest Claire:

Be advised that I am writing this letter on behalf of Linden Lab, Linden Labs, Linden Research Facility, and the Linden Experience Music Project. We have been made aware of the fact, through our numerous resources, which, as far as resources go, are quite numerous, and occasionally accurate, that you are organizing some sort of festival in which the appearance of age-challenged residents will be made light of by a number of residents of varying degrees of Secondlife-related sophistication.

It is our purpose, and truly our only purpose (other than napping, tie-dying t-shirts, and eating lots of Ben and Jerry's) is to provide for the continued support of brand new residents. We do this by exposing them to a number of situations designed to provide them with the full Secondlife experience. These situations include such life-enhancing experiences as the Ahern Welcome Hub, Waterhead and public sandboxes. Further, we impress on them the importance of personal safety by having them orbited and set on fire by griefers, scammed out of their money by suspicious scripts, and assaulted in at least three languages. The latter additionally gives them a feeling for the international flavor of secondlife. Finally, we make sure they are exposed to at least three public orgy rooms when all they are looking for is hair or a pair of shoes.

What we will not tolerate, however, is mocking and harassment by non-sanctioned residents. Frankly and earnestly, we are mortified. MORTIFIED! As you know, the word "mortified" comes from the Latin "mortifiero" which means, "A guy named Mort punches you in the head". That's how upset we are. Imagine being a new resident, just off of Orientation Island, confused by our interface (we did that on purpose. It's part of the process of breaking their will.) and you come a cross a group of people who look like you, enjoying themselves by talking, dancing, and listening to music. How awful.

As a result of your callous behavior and inappropriate inappropriateness, which we cfound to be particularly inappropriate, you have been selected for decommisioning. Your avatar will be gently disassembled by a team of blind meth-addicts locked in a room with hammers and chisels and then your parts will be put back into circulation where your ghost can haunt the recipients forever. We fully expect your hands to periodically write terrifying messages from beyond the grave and try to strangle their new owners, and who knows what horrors the new owner of your eyes will behold in his dreams. At any rate, we're done with the likes of you. The only thing not to be decomissioned will be that squidalicious thing in your inventory. Philip has had his eye on that for a while. Or we might sell it to Mari's neighbors.

Please be at Terminus 27 tomorrow no later than 8:00 am, SLT. Should you fail to appear at the appointed time, we will have no choice but to impotently shake our fists at the heavens and then drop this whole matter.

Sincerely, and with the greatest reverence,

Mort Linden.

Oh my, just got done . . no it isn't done yet. Oh my, months now that we have been fighting over the stipulations. I don't mean these stipulations here.

Did I misuse the word? Or is everything flying over my head?

I made a comment in the first few comments to this thread which was tongue in cheek but at the same time I hoped ppl would see the double standard.

not too long ago I was accused of trying to advertise when I posted about a shirt I made with the 503 error, just because it had my logo on it, and was even told to put it in the products area (as I mentioned then I got a few im's about it)
anywho...

my point is.... this should actually have been put in the events section, just like any other event.
just because it is for the forum cartel doesn't mean it has any more right to be posted here as it does anywhere else.

If ppl on the forums want to know about events for the cartel badly enough, they will either join the group, or they will go to the hangout and look for notices there.

why should those of us who are not interested in going, be subjected to the thread, anymore than folks who would not be interested in going to xyz event be subjected to that thread.

with the argument of "it is for all the ppl who post on the forums" then anyone can come here, post an event and say it is for all the forum folks.... right?

if we are going to try to self moderate, then please make it so everyone self moderates


for example, I have the arcade, it has been mentioned a couple times by a forum regular, if I decided to have a party there, and call it an event, and post it here to the forums, and say it is a party for all the forum folks, would that be acceptable?

(no answer required, just think about this whole picture please)

I guess this behavior has been bugging me lately too, just did not realize how much till I saw just how this thread was so totally accepted just because it is for all the folks on the forum.... (when we all know it is for those who regularly go there)

I seriously thought these forums would be different than many others on the net, due to the fact that we are all supposed to be adults. some days I feel like I am back in high school, which is why I come here less and less

I wonder how many others feel the same way I do and are afraid to speak up, for fear of being attacked or flamed from all sides....

so now i`m the bad one for throwing a comment after that being said? i guess your kids didn`t get it from a stranger

and again, you have NO f`ing idea how rude i can get, unlike others here who are scared shitless to speak up with the fear of getting flamed, i don`t give a single damn so bring it on

Do you stay up all night coming up with these? LOL.........seriously though, these little letters of yours should be published! I would buy the book!

i understand rioko, as best as i can, i just dont want the thread ending up being unreadable because of flames.

The word "stipulations" can be used in a legal setting. As in "the two sides agreed on the stipulations." Adverse parties in a court proceeding can stipulate facts - as in they will not argue that particular fact. Facts can be in the form of documents. If a document is on a list of stipulated documents, then neither side needs to waste time trying to get that document admitted. They can then use this document with witnesses who would have no way to know if the document is real or not - in other words this removes hearsay and foundation objections. Though it still somewhat undercuts the testimony if the witness notes that they have no idea what the document is nor why it is in evidence or what it reveals. After the close of in court deliberation, both sides prepare briefs to be read by and used by the judge in forming an opinion on the case. For a document to be used/described/discussed in that brief, it needs to be in evidence. A document that has been stipulated to, is in evidence.

Someone, please pass me a box of adult diapers
Thanks Trout, for bringing some MUCH needed humor to this thread at this point!

Yeah, I might have to propose to him again. Although...given the way that turned out last time, maybe not. *sobs quietly into her pie*

Unfortunately, I'm messed up enough that I can just start writing and make them up as I go along. I don't even know how they are going to end up, usually.

Elora: no prob. It seemed like it was time for the Lindens to step in and not do anything.

lol - Ann: you proposing to me was one of the sweetest things anyone has done in SL for me, even if you were totally kidding.

trout you never cease to amaze me

you should be writing the blog posts

/me hands you those adult diapers I haven't used up, to help wipe up those tears.

Crying over (or because of) Trout might require a lot of absorbing power

Um, Soji...are you making fun of my poor English skills?

How is this Soji? Claire, what are the stipulations for the alt profiles?

Was I?

Just bombard him with many proposals at once, he's bound to accept at least one.
