BOYCOTT BRITBONGRETURNS
I swear to god guys. I used to watch that faggot's videos and I laughed until some fucking retard wannabe showed up and fucking harrased me while I was genuinely fucking sad. The fag's name? Britb0ss or some shit like that. FUCK BRITBONG AND HIS AUTISTIC VOICES AND FANS
Please help!
Okay, this is probably a super newbie question, but I need help with this. For some reason, most avatars I try to equip are currently broken, with the knees not aligned and the eyes sitting too far back. I know the issue is on my end, but when I asked on the official SL forums I got an answer that didn't help me at all, so I'm turning to you lot who I figure probably know more anyway.
How do I fix this? Furry dog avi is just the one example I already have handy, this is happening to every avatar I have except my Kobold.

AMD Drivers
For anybody else having certain issues with Advanced Lighting and shadows in SL the current amd beta driver 15.3 fixes it./d/eshima's Secret Santa
We have a couple of big giving events going on this month! The first event we have planned is a creative Secret Santa – where participants, instead of buying gifts, will make them for each other. Everyone is welcome to participate: mesh builders, artists, writers and everyone else – so long as what you make is in good spirit! More info can be found in the Secret Santa present and below
The second event we have planned is a freebie tree for everyone to put gifts under. The only rule for that is it can’t be ripped from other sources, nothing from other content creators or games. Otherwise anything goes, just be sure to label it and set the object for anyone to copy/buy for L$0.
Viewer general.
What viewer do you use and why? I know most are running Firestorm, but do you try other viewers? I have been using Project Vahalla for SL viewer as they finally replaced the shitty old viewer browser.

Avatar Art Thread
Last thread: >>11721
I think the last one hit image limit, so let's do another! Post art you have drawn, commissioned, or received of your avatar.
New Accounts?
I have an old account from 2010 with next to nothing on it and am about to make the horrible life decision of getting back into SL.
Should I bother with making a new account or just keep the old one?
Is there any benefit to using a brand new account?
Will I have a hard time getting help when I have no idea what I'm doing but made the account five years ago?
SL bashing
I've been playing SL for about 6 years now. I started playing it long before I ever started using chans, and started playing it because I remember an article about it from way back when it first came out talking about how cool it was. When I started playing SL, I had zero knowledge of what it was, what is was like, or what public perception of it was. I went in completely unspoiled, and fell in love with it.
After playing it for awhile, I began seeing a bit of that public perception. Every single time SL has come up in conversation on 4chan, 8chan, and even other smaller chans, it gets ragged on endlessly. Even Urban Dictionary takes a huge shit on it. The general consensus seems to be that SL is super autistic and gay, and only losers play it.
Did you know about this before you started playing? If not, do you think it would have affected whether you would ever have started? Does it bother you that so many people hate it, and by extension hate you? Because it bothers me :(
Pic unrelated. It's one of those creepy dolls that were everywhere around halloween.

Being normal is boring now.
Second Life has broken me.
I'm living with a girl now, a new fuckbuddy and possibly GF soon, and one who loves to cosplay and wear collars. I'm getting more sex then ever and have some money in my pocket, we both have jobs and spend our freetime with each other constantly.
Why is it all I wanna do is go online on SL and be lewd? I now have what all neckbeards dream of, and all I wanna do is go crawling back to shark tits and anime dongs.
Second Life has broken me.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to personal issues that have recently arisen, I no longer have the time nor energy to manage an imageboard. I know this is a long requested feature, but it took quite a while to develop.I am so lost...
I've decided to take a look at SL, but I'm still so lost. I can't even figure out how the camera works or why the focus point seems to randomly change all the time. I want to learn how to work with all the items and the outfits and inventory and how to edit my character and all that, but the little welcome island at the beginning didn't teach me all that much. I can't help but think I missed something, like a tutorial area or something like that.
Is there a place where I can REALLY learn how SL works, or should I just try stuff and learn by trial and error?
I know I'm probably being retarded, but I feel really lost, and any pointers would be welcome.
Also, I had a few more questions:
How many people play now-a-days? Is the community big?
How is the RP scene? Are there many people interested in role playing in general, or are most just there to make friends and mess around?
Thank you for the help in advance.
Of retards and old avatars
I have noticed a pattern and would like to get more datapoints. I first noticed this pattern around 2011, and have not seen it violated since, but I have also only seen a new example once in the past year. The pattern is this: people who use the old pre-sculptie luskwood furry avatars (and actually any furry AV made before sculpties) are insufferable twats. Every time I've met one it's been like a 4chan parody of someone with a persecution complex.
The most memorable event was of someone teleporting an old friend in to meet their new friends. The luskwood wearer (LWW) entered wearing a diaper and a pacifier. Obviously, this fellow received immediate ridicule and promptly began to argue with those present that it was completely normal and healthy for him to enjoy being babied. After leaving, LWW informed the person that had teleported him in that "teleporting me there was strike one". Fortunately, he had the sense to sever all contact with LWW after that.
Other memorable instances include informing me that I am toxic because I made a fart joke, numerous instances of sperging out over a video game reference, and in one instance, a frothing rage over someone using a newer version of the same avatar as them (they were using a gen 2 Thel and bumped into someone wearing a gen 3).
Have you met someone wearing a pre-sculpties avatar that wasn't hilariously retarded? Have more cringetastic stories to tell? Have any amusing theories to explain this phenomenon? Discuss.
Child Avatars
Do you RP as a child in a family?
I used to do that from about 2007 to 2013
I actually enjoyed it as back then I was too broke to own my own sim and I met some fabulously wealthy american women who adored my avatar and role playing and set up a family home. I had my own skybox where I could just do as I pleased it was pretty awesome stuff. Having a family was good though but after 5 years I just got so bored and became a teenage techno freak which was interesting I finally got out of sl by registering an email address that had random letters in the name and changing my password to a ridiculously random thing. I then destroyed any way of recovering the email address I used, deleted my sl accounts. I tried to get back in last week but cant - which is good
so yeah if you rp in a family or just on child av sims post here

Trying to make a non shit avatar?
After realizing I have a Second Life Character I logged in and disliked the poor shape it was in, and I have 0 knowledge on how to make a better avatar myself.
From what I was told by some people in game this is what i should get so far

Any other suggestions?
SL newfag here and I have some questions
Do people really get off to poseballing? (makes me cringe everytime)
Do they really mean it when they say it was the best blowjob/fuck they've ever had?
how do people type and masturbate at the same time? (please don't tell me they were just typing with a straight face)
Do they even care if I'm just a disgusting neckbeard neet behind the avatar?
Why would you normal fuck someone when you can just go do it in real life? I would understand if it was furries or ponies because its pure fantasy but just humans doing normal stuff why not just do it in real life?
I'm really confused about this game, how can people so twisted?
Places to visit in SL
My friend and I are pretty new to the whole SL experience and were wondering if you guys have any suggestions for places to visit.Le ebin Kemono H8 maymay
So there's something I've noticed after lurking for a while on /sl/.
9 out of 10 shitposts are sperging about how shitty the Kemono looks. I'm not going to argue there are some fucked up things about it (Too loli for my tastes by default, weird head that looks creepy most of the time) but are there some real alternatives when it comes to stylized animu bodies? I've looked at the Nahua and while it's nice it works with regular skins, everything else about it is shit. Avatar 2.0? Showing its age.
What other unisex (Or female but easily convertible to male) mesh bodies are out there that enjoy the same degree of support the Kemono has?

I want furniture, but nothing in the style I am seeing on the marketplace, and I really don't want to pay upwards of 2K for a single piece of furniture that may or may not be copy./r/equest
Anyone good with mesh and doing robot parts? Because i have somewhat of a commission:
the legs out of this CAST set with matching sockets, either rigged or unrigged.
If possible matching pauldrons and gauntlets similar to metroid armor, but the legs are the main priority for now. Paying in L$, price negotiable.

Pubbie Stories
Tell stories about pubbies.
So this pubbie I know upgraded their computer, a mac naturally, solely for second life because their performance issues finally got so bad that they couldn't stand it.
Their new computer is capable of running on ultra graphics at decent frame rates.
The pubbie turned off everything down to just atmospheric shaders because they didn't like how the game looked with decent graphics.
Glitch Thread
I am a spaceship. Discuss.
Also general glitch thread.
I really want to recreate this glitch. It seems to be the animation for flying forward, however as you can tell in the picture I'm not moving at all. I had a lot of fun with this
It was so liberating. I feel like this is how I was meant to be.

Thread for collaboration on building things, scripting things, animating things, and similar such tasks for the purpose of making money."What is Second Life?"
Second Life is the biggest online virtual world. It was developed by Linden Lab and was launched on June 23, 2003. Some people use Second Life for entertainment purposes, but it is not a game because it does not have any single goal that players must achieve. Anyone is free to do anything they want, as long as they respect the Terms of Service. They are also free to create new things and add them to the virtual world. Players can make places, clothes, and a lot of different objects. This is why Second Life is considered a platform, too.
