We would all do well to defrag our harddrives because I'm sure most of us haven't done it lately (I know I have not.) It couldn't hurt and might help (because it makes your PC run more efficiently.)

Yeah..did that Clio and cleaned out the SL cache and my computers cache..didn't help :-(

Oh..does anyone know if you set the SL cache to 1000 (500 is the default) if that may help? Or would that take away to much resourses on my computer? Cuz I do use it for more than just SL LOL

I'm acually looking forward to the next update! I just hope they update it back to when it acually worked for me. I also hope that they are not going to update it so much that my computer won't handle it anymore.

Molly according to a recent blog I read, it is best to leave your cache at 500. If you have it set at 1000, they rcommend moving back to 500.

Yeah, I would tend to think 1000 would be bad unless you had a very large hard drive.

Speaking of which, I am planning a PC upgrade before next July ..... can't wait to see how it helps SL!

Are you talking about the personal guard that Seb and Veep gave us and then trained us as Batman and Superman?

Defrag of hard drive last night = super speedy computer this morning! I always forget that should be done occasionally...how occasionally should it be done, anyone know? What a difference!!

By the way, Arol, I liked that dance pack thing you had last nite, good music and good dancing! Thanks!

I'm not sure Sidda. Maybe, i know they did some kind of defense training.
Also someone said all you have to do is "freeze, eject, and ban" i didn't know we had those capabilities.

Depends on how much you delete files. I would say, for the average user, four times a year is sufficient but if you use your comp a lot, once a month is good too. When I do BB caps, I do it once a a week. (On Thursdays, when the feeds aren't on much, lol)

NOte: Mac users don't have to do that, I caused mass hysteria one time for all the mac users on the board.

I know that I can freeze, eject, ban where I rent my cabin. Hopefully, we don't have to use it tonight though.

What if I made a sign in front of the door that said "Private Party, please respect our privacy." Would that be a good idea? Or would that just make things worse?

considering the sort of people griefers seem to be Clio, I think it would make it worse.

BTW, why in the world are the lofts such a popular spot for people to come? Yesterday I found 2 naked women utilizing the hot tub (no, I wasn't one of them, and no it wasn't anyone else from TVCH or 3LOLs).
I asked them if I could help them and they said no and went back to convo. Do they not have any idea that it isn't public space?
Anyway, I stood there looking at them and took out my guard, they left.

Did we ever figure out why it's such a popular place to TP to? (besides the 10's of beautiful women of course)

oh - and Trena, I will probably test the streaming more tonight on some other land where it isn't quite as busy as the lofts. If I get it figured out there, I'll get with ya'. I have a sneaking suspicion there was just some delay (there can be up to 2-3 minute delay) and we weren't very patient lol

Snackie, I'm not sure why they would be there when there wasn't another group of people there unless they know someone from the lofts and they told them it was okay to be there. I, personally, don't think that any visitors should be there unless they're accompanied by one of us. I know they can't hurt anything (or can they?) but I just think since it's private property it should be that way.

Now, the reason people will sometimes drop when we're all hanging out there is because if they see a bunch of green dots (representing people) on the map, they'll TP themselves there. *I* am even guilty of doing that when I was a brand new noob, lol. I wasn't sure how to navigate anything and I would just pull up the map and drop somewhere that was populated by other people, lol. Other times it's griefers just looking for lots of people to mess with.

Anyone want to tell me the best way of buying land (and how much will need to be spent)? I have a friend that just joined SL and he went premium, I am probably going to too eventually if I don't keep TSO much longer, and I need to know what I'm doing so I can help him and then eventually help myself, lol. I don't want to get screwed and I'd like a NICE area. I will probably purchase a pre-made house because I have a hard enough time building in The Sims....I KNOW it's gonna be harder for me in SL, lol.

I received the guard from Belle I think, I'm pretty sure she gave a copy to everyone, look in your inventory for personal guard.
Is your land push or no push clio? The lofts is no push so there isn't a lot that can be done except lock the offending av in a bubble, if that.
(you'll know if it is push by looking at the top of your screen on the tool bar and no push is a "no" sign -like the ghostbusters sign- with a hand in it. If you don't see that, it is push.)

If you are able to push, the next time a griefer comes whip out your guard, set the push power to Boom, and Throw like you've never thrown before lol

oh - and even on no push lands, you can still push if you have something that can or know how to override the linden law. I'm not technical enough (that's why Arol and Sidda were able to be thrown into the ocean when those lil creeps came)to know enough about it, but there are things out there.

sure konnie, I'll be home in about a half hour. I'll sign on and show you, we can even go to some land where push is possible and I'll let you throw me (though when someone else tried to throw me - it didn't do much, I didn't go up and I stayed on the same sim, but when I threw him it sent him way up in the air and a couple sims over)

Ok so anyone else that wants to learn about the guard, I'm having an impromptu class in 30-45 mintues. lol

Ok first---snackie we get so many people because we are located close to newcomers island. They just sorta fly over. We have alot of fun stuff, and the green dots on the map lol.
I think every morning this week, I have had to ask a newby to leave or like this morning, there was a naked newbie guy in the hottub. I helped him find a job, get clothes and then leave lol. Most of these people are just new, and don't really know what they are doing. If you start off being nice, and answer they're questions, they eventually go away. Oh! I did get a marriage proposol this morning too lol.
Care it is both easy and hard to buy land. You have to spend alot of time looking. You do not have to become premium if you don't buy on the mainland. The average cost for property is 25000L and higher.
Clio, I think snackie is talking about the buddy that was given to all of us at the lofts by Veep and Seb.
We are planning a training session again, but don't have the exact details yet for everyone.
Last thing--The 3LOLS management had their very first meeting last night, and I will be posting what we discussed here at TVCH and sending out a notice. We plan on meeting weekly, and keeping all of you updated on what is going on at Isla.
We are trying very hard to listen to everyone and your suggestions, wants, and needs. Please bare with us as we are just getting started, and hope to make isla a fun place for all. Also, if you dont see us online, im anyway--sometimes the thing just doesn't work and for me, if I am not online, it goes directly to my email, which I check often. We are trying to be here for you guys as much as we can.
PS. Hint at one of the topics---by unanimous vote, the no-fly zone will NOT be implemented! so fly away guys lol!
