I've stopped waiting for Kritter to stalk me. :p

I've stopped caring what people think about me changing avs between furry and fleshy to reflect my mood.


Woohoo :) anyone who cares about the AV more than the person needs to be beat soundly about the head! :D <3 Trin!

AV head or human head?

I hope you just mean a lousy old human head; the thought of possibly damaging an avatar head is extremely disturbing.

I stopped driving and flying aircraft nearly as much as I used to. Between ever-increasing sim lag (it's worse now than it's been since 1.5) and bajillions of automated weapon scripts, driving is a chore anymore, and flying is outright dangerous at worthwhile altitudes. I still do some cross-grid flights above 1500m, but not as much short-distance stuff.

I've stopped leaving my skybox :P

Oh and ...


From: SuezanneC Baskerville

Or for, say, a mech avatar maker, if the competition makes ones way cooler than you can, you don't get to wear that and have to go around in your own even though you think it's inferior. That would hurt.


I am happy to say that the hair makers I've come to know during hair fair, we all root for each other when someone makes a very cool style and we all wear each others stuff. Theres a handful of us that are constantly tossing items back and forth at each other and can be seen in in hair besides our own its kinda cool :)

not much left to do
05-04-2006 06:35
1) I have stopped shopping, nothing new out there to buy! The hair sucks, the skins are the same, have my buildings and vehicles are useless.

2) I have stopped flying. Between the security scripts, weapon scripts, problems flying between Sims and the fact the vehicles themselves are substandard, it is quite pointless! Oh yes, the sky has become a junkyard. I use to love flying my tarn (am not Gorean) over the countryside. I could just image his great flapping wings soaring on the thermal waves! Now Umi Chan sits on my roof awaiting a flight that will never happen :(

3) I have stopped going to clubs. Between the Lags and attack on them by griefers and the security guards response, it is as much fun as visiting a jail.

4) I have stopped AV sex; it never did a thing for me and is at best case group abuse.

5) I stopped sitting on my lawn chair. Lately there have been a lot of griefers coming by and trying to cage me. Usually ends in a push attack. They are almost always new Avatars but they have a lot of skill, thus they are probably alts.

6) I have stopped exploring. There is so much land that is "private" and it is almost always impossible to know where you can visit and where you are not welcome. To avoid stress, I have become much more careful about entering an unknown area. In short I usually do not visit unknown Sims. I do not want to get ejected and get the message more or less like "hey you no good a******, you violated my privacy my stepping foot on my land!” There is usually not even a sign! And IMing before entering each plot is too much of a chore. Thus no exploring.

7) With the coming of summer my friends don’t come on line as often. Thus I have stopped chatting with friends online.

8) I have stopped sending in AR, s. The Lindens never did a thing with them no mater how much the truth is on my side!



Hey! There seems to be no reason for me to log on is there? The self centered residents of Second Life are killing the game. Hint scripter’s and builders there has to be customers for you to sell your stuff to. Right now there seems to be an "endless" supply of newbie’s for you to take advantage of but it will not always be so. Be careful of what you wish for, you want privacy well you much just get it. Say 100 builders and scripter’s online and about 2000 griefer teens making log in not worthwhile.



I made the mistake of paying my "premium" account in advance. I will use my account until it runs out. Then become a basic infrequent user. Hey Lindens! How about a refund???

In your narrowminded and blinkered opinion. You either don't get out much, or you're blind. There are some excellent skins out there, and some really cool hair pieces in just about every style you can possibly imagine. And then some. I don't know how vehicles can be 'useless', but the most fun I have in SL is playing in the variety of vehicles I own (although my Dominus Shadow pretty much serves as a replacement for all of 'em!)

I have no idea what the hell you mean or how to respond to that. Group abuse?

Yeah. "Hey Lindens! I am bored with Second Life and hate everyone! I want my money back!" prolly won't wash.

You either

1) have extremly bad luck
2) have a negative outlook cuasing #1
3) Just like to troll

guess its doesnt matter which - but hopefully your situation improves, Since seriously if being in SL makes your days worse then staying makes no sense.

Oh and mebe you should have stopped group av sex exclusively before quiting av sex entirely ;pPpPPp

I stopped sleeping in my bed with my fiancee. Invariably, due to activites with the SL-wife and my slave, I wind up sleeping on the couch IRL. Not by choice, mind you.

Oh I have a very nice skin from Nomine. I do hate what she did with certain aspects of it. The way a certain group of hair is represented. I would punch someone in the face if they told me to trim that hair! Western civ is so vey odd!

Why am I "narrowminded"? The proble with the hair is that it is stiff and goes not move like real hair. Thus mine makes me look like a "hedgehog"

Where do you use you vehiciles? The lag makes using roads hard. Also the nice residents have their security scripts set to hit you with a push attack while on Linden Land! Remember AR's are pointless!

group masturbation, well really self masturbation following others lead, yawn! sometimes get some strange IM's at clubs wanting me to become a "furry". Sometimes get these romantic messages, "bitch get naked and put yourself on that pose!"


From: Kris Ritter
Yeah, it's a real shit that people come here to do what they want and not what you want. .


It is just that they are thoughtless about others. My land is still open like my friends land next to mine. Second Life is about meeting people and not solo activity. I can sit in the privacy of my Real Life bedroom all alone.

From: Kris Ritter

Not bored, not really it is just that the nature of Second Life has changed so much in these last few months. I cant find the words in English to explain it!

Using the letter "k"

It makes my responses look a bit rude tho, with just "O.." or "Oi..."

ZOMG I AM A RACIST THUG, no wait, wrong thread.

I have not called any residents names or anything.



About being a troll, why does being unhappy with Second Life make me a troll? I have noticed that residents like name calling. Why don’t you tell me about all of the wonderful places in Second Life? If I am negative, how about a positive response to balance it out?



I know there will be no refund for my dissatisfaction, but I can try! :)

I've not PERMANENTLY stopped anything!

But I did temporarily stop building until the flexiprims are in...

I still have fun.
I still make birds.
I still try to make people smile.
It's the important things that count. ^^

Maybe not, but you are constantly calling people selfish, arrogant, condemning all content creators and their products as useless, boring, samey, unimaginative etc like a broken record.

Why should anyone lift a finger to bother to convince you of anything? You've obviously made your mind up, and slagged down most people's efforts in the process, blaming them for your lack of enthusiasm, imagination, creativity and your evident lack of understanding of even the basic fundamentals of Second Life - like blaming hair creators for the fact the hair doesnt behave like hair. Thats because until they introduce flexiprims, that's all they can be!

And no doubt when they do introduce flexiprims you'll be among the first bitching about flexiprim hair.

Why dont you tell me about all of the "good" things in Second life?

You are mistaken and you just dont want people that disagree with you to be silenced?

The gentle readers of the forums have the chance to tell me about their favorite friendly places in second life. I can not seem to find them on my own. A lot of the places I use to have fun at are empty. I went to a club and there were 4 or 5 female strippers and no customers. Ah women do not intrest me! The other places I use to visit were either gone or empty.

Where are all of the avatars? What are they doing? The main map is acting strangly lately.
