There is one possible way to prevent is after finishing the room

Yeah, stop sharing.

Just a little fyi since you are using a TM in the room description in the game...

he`s a cool dude, reminds me of a young Watkin Jones or Ninja if you like, that i heard about 10 or so years before youtube was even a thing ... or 20+ before they became the censoring propaganda machine it is now.

It does show very recent content on one of the sites, well unless the vids i saw was manipulated, and there are a ton of stuff that we only dream of ...  so if it was me, I would focus on damage control.

Then again, I think most of us have very little interest in moving to some shady servers that only exist because they stole the content from here, I know I certainly don`t, so maybe the dev`s think like that too and focus on creating and the new update ... ?

Who knows, it`s not like we are kept in the loop about anything ...

What do you think ?

There are apparently four hacked versions of the game currently running on private severs now so I think Gizmo and Liza are busy focusing on trying to salvage what they have, rather than create more.

I`ll listen to anything that is not listed on the propaganda machine called YouTube

Well, I am not going to argue over semantics, "hire" was used to illustrate that one uses someone else to help the room grow, regardless of pay or not, but if you insist we can talk about the concept of altruism, and whether or not it truly exists in order to determine if someone is getting paid or not, but a forum for a sex game hardly seems like the place for it.

I do like their builds, and the people in them as you get the feeling that it is a labor of love, and i will probably drop by again sometime.

that being said there are several room owners that don't use and refuse to stack thier rooms like Morgani & Veronica Lee - Risque

Uhhm i`m in there now, and there are 20 hired dancers, greeters, bartenders, general "staff" and a lot of their friends, so that`s not exactly true, but i like them and their rooms, so i`m staying for a bit.

Even rock themed are not many

I feel i see rock rooms all the time, there was one that open just now with 70 people in it seconds after launch, but i`m guessing that was just "dancers" "staff" "friends" and so on.

As for Hip Hop .. well i`ve been in love with it since 83 but i get your point :]

To all the amazing builders out there, y’all are doing awesome and I love to visit rooms and just explore so keep up the amazing work!

I recently learned to build, so i am not in any way, shape or form up there with the amazing ones, but i find it pretty fun, and i would have loved to see you.

One of the not so fun things happened during this weekend when I decided to open one of my rooms that i thought turned out pretty good. First i made the playlists, and since i have played in some minor clubs in real life i wanted them to really stand out and give the visitors a great first impression, so it took a few days to get them "just right".

During the set up phase i realized i needed a hosting service for the stream, and landed on MyRadioStream for €29.43 and since my usual organizer Media Monkey was a real pain to set up and use for streaming, i landed on the pro version of Virtualdj that cost €23/MO.

I used a couple of days to set it up and test that it all worked properly, used the next two weeks to determine what the best time to play would be and landed on four hours on Friday, another four on Saturday and the same on Sunday. All from 5PM to 9PM UK time since it was relatively quiet then and no other rooms played the Industrial / metal / emo / screamo i wanted to play, but i guess i could have missed some that only used a name on the club and not music genre.

On Friday the 21`st at 5 PM I went live for the very first time, and I played until 9 PM with 0 people visiting.

I did the same on Saturday with the same number of people visiting, so on Sunday i used some Xgold and promoted it three, four times every hour and this time i actually got 1 person inside, but he left within seconds, so it could have gone better.

The real irony is that during this time, there where several people in wc that "complained" about the lack of diversity in music and nowhere new to go in here ...

There is at least one pose where the girl fondles her breast while being fucked... I understand the sizes issue and the possibility of sucking the air or being drowned... but for most breast sizes it would be worth the lack of absolute precision

So true. Almost all poses in the game are lacking in precision. They all clip or have air, even when you walk or stand, there is an air gap between your feet and the ground. Most of the default furniture poses clip into the chair material both alone or in a pose with someone. All of the dance poses and almost all of the sex poses have a different starting point for some reason, and even though it breaks the immersion if you or your partner suddenly turn 90, 180 or 270 degrees every time you select a new pose, i would rather have all we currently have, even if they are slightly flawed, then just a couple that are flawless.

Hm, this might be a stupid suggestion, but I think it would be great if you could be 2 or more

There are no such things as stupid suggestions in here, and this is a good idea

I got a "hang on my husband is coming home" once ... was weird to say the least

With all due respect, these community builders can never build anything as good as the General Locations

I beg the differ, there are some insane builds out there that makes the general locations look like they are build by five year olds in lego, but each to their own i guess.

Anyhoo, I`ve been in love with hip hop since 83, so you get my vote.

Like full sun, gentle sunset, starry dark night, full moon glow, etc. It can take ages to fiddle with the individual settings.

Getting the outdoor and indoor lights just right to match the vibe of the room is part of the fun of building.

I don`t think so, I lost one of my builds a while back, all that was left of it was the water, anything else was gone, but luckily i had a save so i only lost a couple of hours of work. Save often on more than one place has been my mantra ever since then.

Visa and Mastercard tend to charge merchants processing fees between 1.5 percent and 2.5 percent to accept their credit cards, whereas American Express charges 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent. While this may not seem like a significant difference, the gap in fees can make accepting American Express an unattractive proposition. After all, a business that does $100,000 in credit card sales per week would much rather pay $1,500 to $2,500 in fees to accept credit cards versus $2,500 to $3,500.

It`s just a numbers game like anything else these days.

It is a part of the open forum and most of the treads in here have several replies, but i get it, you want to control this as well as the game itself. That does explains a lot in regards to your ... and ..., not to mention the ..., so i`ll leave you to it. Have fun :]
 

I`d settle for not getting auto cleaned if you already have it on your face and chest and get hit again on the feet.

And I would love more layers, so you can get a real messy facial like this, but i`m not holding my breath for it ...

I have more music than your average radio station, and even though i have played in real life clubs i would never call myself a DJ out of respect for those that really are one. The use of the title in here is a joke, since there`s only a handful of people in the game skilled enough to wear it, but it`s their fantasy, and i can think of a lot worse things than people having fun dancing to some mediocre set whether it is their own or borrowed.

If anyone choose to hire a room full of "dancers", and use their friends list as some cheap whore to fill it further, it is up to them. Annoying, yes. Unfair to anyone that can`t afford it or don`t have a gazillion "friends", yes. Bending the unwritten rules, yes, but that`s all it is. I personally think the people doing it have some real unresolved issues, and the same goes for those that feel the need to boost when they have 100+ people in it, It is however not against any rules to do so. 

I had 12 people in my room at once, usually i have 2 or 3. Do i care ? Not really. Sure, much like anyone else, i would like "a ton" of people having fun, boosting serotonin levels and a fake sense of self worth trough the roof, but i am pretty content talking about music and life with my 2-3 guests if having a lot means whoring my self out like so many others do. That is my choice. To do it in order to be or stay "popular", is theirs. This place is a way of escaping for a period of time, a be what you want kind of thing. And many times people try to be something they for one reason or another can`t be in real life. Some guys wants to be girls, some girls wants to be guys and both wants to do things they would never dare to do on the other side of the computer screen. Some want to look better, be cooler, be more interesting or secretive and some want to be popular. 

I understand why they do it, and my way of dealing with it is either not go in, or leave when i see the 60+ dancers or hear an obvious fake set and visit someone else.

I also understand the wanting to change what seems to have become the norm, but creating another "clique" that opposes someone else does not seem like the way to go about it. There are too much of the "we don`t go to this or that room, as it is not a part of our side" already. 

The irony is that if your attempt to stop it result in a vast number of people joining your label, and those people only join rooms that are marked as "cheat free" you have successfully created another way of boosting rooms ...

but hey, best of luck :]

As much as i agree with your statements, i have a hard time seeing the point of this, as i am left with more questions than answers.

For example : If someone is under the umbrella True Audience, how can you monitor that they are staying true to the idea ?

What if someone wants to give a room owner payback for whatever reason "This or that person did so and so"  by word of mouth, and then what ? Sanction them ? How ? Getting denied the "right" to use the banner ? Ban them from other rooms under the umbrella ? Based on hear say and rumours ? Even if you had Colin build a tracer for where the stream originated, what IP the people in the room have and so on, it is hardly evidence of wrong doing.

I`ve permitted my stream used in rooms more than once, even in others when i was hosting my own. And people in the room having the same IP, well, i know several people that plays the same mmo`s from the same IP as friends and family under the same roof, and i doubt it is any different here. 

I have a friend in here that never talks to people when she is dancing. No replying to pm`s, and no talking in local as she just wants to disappear in to the music and let real life be for a moment, thus having the appearance of a bot.  What then ? If she and others like her is "labelled" as a bot by someone, is the room owner being punished for using bots ?

What about hired help and dancers ? People follow people. They always have and always will, so many choose the easy way to fill the room and get others in.  And as much as i loathe to see the 60+ random people as room filler under the disguise of "dancing" in sync when i enter a room, there is nothing to be done about it, as it`s not breaking any game rules.  

That`s just the ones that chose to be a part of the label, i have a lot more about those that don`t, but since it is snowing like crazy, i have to go and rescue my my poor little Fiat 500 from being completely buried under it.

The reason why some is on the top with a few visitors, is because they paid for it.

You can use 300 Xgold to boost the room to the top of the list and stay there until someone else does the same. The problem is of course  that you sometimes stay for several minutes and other times just seconds before you fall down the list again. This happens depending on the time of day you choose to boost your room, and what kind of room owners you are "competing" against, since some just boost one time, and others uses tens of thousand of Xgold to stay on top.

It has been like this since we got the feature and it will not change since it generates money for the game owners. That is probably the same reason why we don`t have the ability to sort the list in any way or mark rooms we have previously visited as favourites.

The reason why some rooms are at the bottom of the list with 50+ people in them is because the "crowded" ones start with that number as they have hired "dancers" DJ`s, "staff", uses multiple accounts, and their friends list to boost the numbers from the start to create the illusion of being popular and get people to come in, since people almost only follow other people in here.

Log in to watch you spam the room 400 times just to stay on top of the list again ? I`ll pass.
