Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

Rather what I was thinking- The standard should be "can the word mean anything else in ordinary conversation?" If so, take it off the list. Sound like a carlinesque solution to me...\

"Twat's twat and That's that!"

^V^

Impossible. My avatar and not only he, has constantly erection problems above 4000 m.

I tried once something up the austrian alps at around 2800/3000 m - it was a desaster and my aching lungs started to whistle the infantrymen march - I was out of any oxygen!

Also I need to see some landscape, not only sky and I like *meep* *meep* at beaches and in the woods and in a normal home on normal ground on average sea level.

You can call me an earth-grounded type of *meep* - *meep* - man.

btw blondin, FIX THAT SNOW!!!!! they're still using that crappy ice texture.

Only way to find out is to own some PG land in a PG region and try some ads.

Actually I've built several very neat skyboxes way up that look incredible. The secret ingredient is... a megasphere around the skybox. You envelope your skybox and texture the interior of the giant sphere so you appear to be floating above jupiter, orbiting a planet, hovering above giant alien moonscapes... you get the idea. It's very easy to do, though texturing properly does take some experience to get as you like it.

PS take a search for Club Zero Gravity if you want an example.

But yes, THIS idea is far superior to the lame-ass frog march the Lindens have in mind. Many ideas brought up in this forum are superior to LL's Operation Whitewash.

Added to the slapt.me wiki and once this thread is closed i will start to go over it and post points on the wiki also

not 4000m, 3000m or 3500m. at 4000m you can only build up another 96m before things have a tendency to go 'off world'.

Rocket City Furmeet often has underwater activities 800m up above their sim. So yes, it is possible. You don't have the haze like underwater, but that's just because RCFM keeps their aquariums clean

Not with the current server software, no.

Why not? You mean to tell me they can't make a second layer of baked terrain and some water at 4000m? Maybe you are right, but it seems like it should be able to code a mirror of the ground below at different altitudes. With all the tech we have and coding that wouldn't be possible to do? If you look below the terrain there is nothing there but space anyhow... Water is essentially laying on top of that... If it is possible in a gaming environment, why not in SL?

*shrugs* Yeah, I have a skybox lounge at 3K Meter up, designed like a space ship and surrounded by a hollow megaprim. From the inside it's stars, from outside it looks like the Moon. But that isn't terrain, and water, and a natural environment.

Because it isn't designed to be that flexible?

The answer is simply to have a completely diferent simulator, and not bother with trying to stack the spaces. But then you're right back to having to move people again.

Unfortunately the Lindens seem to have answered this in one of their brown bag meetings.

"Q: Will those who move be able to have exactly the same size parcels on the new continent?

A: It's impossible really for us to have as wide a range of parcels available as you folks might be giving up on the mainland.
"
I was emailed that by the owner of the sim I work in/on. Maybe some people still aren't aware of that answer so I'm posting it here. I know we can nitpick the wording of that response but it does suggest that Ursula will be cramped.

Lets hope its interesting

Wow, please forgive my incredulity, but that's IT?

* Search is a total mess because of the use of keywords, rather than a context-based system, as proposed in a JIRA

* most residents don't even know about it yet, haven't had their say, and according to you, won't be informed before it happens, unless they read the blog or the forum,

* private "extreme sex" sims can be placed right next to PG-rated private sims, defeating the whole thing about trying to prevent people "camming in" from PG-rated sims,

* the definitions of everything are very vague - we relied on you to get a picture of how it will be implemented, but none of that is documented yet except for in this soon to be closed several hundred page thread, so the implementation team can, basically do what they want.

Blondin, this is kind of a shambles - if you are planning on having this ready to go in a month then you have a lot more work to do than just clarifying how to make the moves work easier for residents. While that goal is a noble one, all this other stuff is really nasty and isn't going to get sorted out in a couple of weeks... (just MHO)

It would be nice to think its damage limitation from LL after some of us spent the day contacting the press as America slept Still loads more to do though

JIRA is 5 away from 1200 votes.

seats are filling up - time to stake your place in the auditorium

Why not? Because it doesn't work that way!!

It's not an easy thing to change, either. For example, any scripts that deal with land/water height have no concept of different levels - it's all just "the height at position X/Y".

This is completely and entirely opinion.

I am not bothered by people using the tactics you described to oppose biased and arbitrary decisions that don't even begin to accomplish their stated goals. I wonder at the shock expressed by the provocative and sensationalist methods used in a culture of shock jocks and TV personalities. Wow! isn't surprising people copy what surrounds them.

SL is a private company to be sure but without the contributions and involvement of the residents they would have very little to offer. Outrage at the owners is completely justified in all its many and varied expressions. That's my opinion.

Ah, well that is too bad. It is far easier to move up, as well as no one would need to purchase new land or swap land. There would be lots of empty space and it almost has the feel of open spaces. But it is obvious I simply don't know enough about the technical aspects of the grid. I'm more of a dreamer.

Quoting myself here, because this one is still unanswered.

Everything posted here is opinion. The question was sent to me, so I expressed mine.

I agree that outrage is justified, as is the freedom to express it. That wasn't the question. The question was about what I felt was lame, etc ...

Linden Labs is a business, and when you attend a business meeting, you make your point professionally, and stay on point. That isn't what happened here. This whole matter is blueprint of how not to get your way in any business situation. Come on ... a giant penis, and comparisons to Nazis? Threats to leave, by the same people that threatened to leave a few months back?

I wonder if anyone at The Lab dug their heals in on those ones.

The best protest is a sober and solid one. Also all opinions need airing in peace, slamming people as bigots when they are at odds is the end of any feeling of solidarity.
