Dear Diary... Final entry. Real life has kept me crazy busy this past week or so and I haven't had the opportunity to really log in and participate and I discovered I don't miss it. lol I stated in a thread before I had bought a one year sub which doesn't run out til February but I figure I will chalk it up to a loss. You have all been great and I wish you all the best this world (virtual and reality) has to offer. (Even you Jimmy) lol And I am very aware of what the response to this will be. Go for it. I won't be reading it so I won't know. lol

@Alivia ... my fingers are crossed for the next update to be clothes too. lol And I really don't even mind if it takes six months for it.

Don't worry Jimmy. I was around today.

Well I, for one, am looking very forward to the update. I have said before and I will say again I feel like ANY additions, changes, updates are a bonus.

Hey Music! Sorry hon wasn't being rude somehow I missed your post. Hi there! I am actually not suggesting world chat be gone. I am just supposing the outcome of it. After all without WC I never would have met you.

And for the love of gaaawd would someone explain to me who Simon is? What is that all about? What is the history there?

Actually no it doesn't. I have chosen to become the very thing I talk about. Honestly it's bugging someone else. Yes I am being a shit. Each individual post was actually done as an individual thought. It happened that it all melded into one basic premise. Hence the World Chat diary. One thing I have really found here as opposed to other virtual worlds. I have no 'connection' to it. The place is stunning to look at. I do enjoy the open chat on most occassions but I haven't found myself invested in it really in anyway. I really don't take things here personal. I am however shocked at some things. Like that there isn't really a code of conduct or anything. I am actually figuring out my winding mind on whether I find it a good or bad thing.

I haven't had time to log into World the last couple days. Don't worry folks I am sure episode number2 will be along soon. ** Feel free to add an episode yourself if you want. .... Oh but try to stay classy folks. please.

Oh gosh no worries here. lol I am not bothered by any of these goings ons. I am just making observations on the world. People are amazing and funny.

The first time I was here would have been about three maybe four years ago. Lasted about a month. The place IS beautiful and its graphics are the best but at that time it just wasn't a good 'fit' for me. So I moved on to other things and then recently came back. Of course I found the forums. As a user of other virtual worlds I was aware that the forums are a good way to get answers to questions. You are all really great teachers BTW. So I decided this time around the block of 3DX I would give it a real try. I would look around and explore and see what this place has. The addition of the World Editor shot this place to the top of virtual worlds although I don't build I do appreciate others creativity. I also like to chat. After all that is what a place like this boils down to for me. Chatting with other people and having a few laughs. So I jumped on in and I actively participate in World Chat. Well gaaaaaaahdayum!! There are people of every variety in that chat box! It's incredible! As active forum people you will all know I posted a few things in regards to how things work around here with respect to devs and mods and the TOS etc etc etc. I made a post specifically about an afternoon I spent chatting in World. Seems a couple someones got their feelings all bruised. Now let's be clear those someones are the most notorious trolls of World Chat so I got quite the giggle when I logged in today and found myself iggied by one ... although I always thought when you iggied someone you forgot about them you dont hide behind an iggy and continue talk shit about them knowing they can't see it... THAT is hilarious! The other person (pretty sure he is off his meds) has decided I am someone named Simon. I am not sure who Simon is or what the big deal is about him but I am supposed to be him. He says he used Pandora to discover this. As Maury Povich would tell you ... the lie detector has proven THAT is a lie. I guess what I find so funny is the big bad trolls that take great pleasure in poking and pushing other ppls buttons now sit behind an iggy and the age old .. you a man... all cuz of lil ole me making a post bout shit they spout in an open chat box. So that's episode 1 of As the World Chat Turns. Stay tuned!! (Name of this show subject to change) I am also considering My Adventures in World Chat.

LoL I have never before been in a virtual world that I really can't decide if I love it or hate it. I have until February to figure it out I suppose but I am just shaking my head the more I learn about it here.

@jynara ... very true that as well. At least with WC all the crap is confined to one spot. To be clear .... this was not a post bitching about world chat. As I said I participate in it and rather quite enjoy it. Just a wondering and a discussion topic to see what everyone else thought about it.

I am starting to think this place is fuckin nuts. lol

Okay new topic and another question. First question is how the hell do I make the poll thing work? But onto the meat of the subject. I admit I participate in World Chat. I kind of like it... but ... and its big but.... isn't it kind of just a cesspool? If it's not just full of purple ads rolling one after the other it's all the crap we see spewing from trolls and those of us (myself included) that often feed them. So to debate and discuss. What are the merits and the detriments of World Chat? What would be good about getting rid of it and what would be bad?

@Sage... to be clear I do take responsibility for myself. Have no fear of that. As I said ... these things are generally of no consequence to me. I usually find them funny (as in so incredibly over the top as to making laughing stocks of themselves) Today however crossed a line. And once seen cannot be unseen with a simple iggy. Also on the subject of iggy with this very person. The day before as he was talking in WC someone else said... why can I see him? I have him on iggy. He then implied he used a hack to 'get around iggy' which I believe turned out to be simply buying a new sub and making a new account because so many ppl had him on iggy already. The actual reason behind my post and question was... more about the fact that he said (paraphrasing) report him all you want the devs won't do anything because hes a 'big spender' and quite frankly he simply annoyed me. @Mar ... now see there. Jimmy isn't the same person? Well the damn guy (Edit.. Jimmy said) said the other day he was. For crying out loud these alts. The longer I am here the more now I see why ppl have such issue with alts. I used to use a couple myself and didn't see anything wrong with them. I am kind of figuring out now why it's a problem. ( I also don't actually believe it's about how much money you spend but as I said up there a bit... he annoyed me.) @AHT I perhaps mispoke with 'often' but I surprisingly hate the report button. Twice since I have been here I have seen a nickname with the 'N' word. I suppose I got frustrated with it because the second time I did nothing about it for over a week thinking perhaps somebody else would see it and know it's one of those cross the line words to be used. If not liking the N used in open chat or as a nickname makes me prissy. I will wear the label.
