Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise is Just My Personal Griefing Tool in Disguise
Well I have a lot of "stuff" at my newbie shop, Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise, and while I always thought I put the items I am given and find out to help people, it turns out I am griefing newbs! Ok not really. I just thought this chat log was cute and made me laugh a little so figured I'd share it. Unedited with the exception of removing the last name.
(And the item is question is a box of 10000 textures. Its 1 box with several catagorized small boxes within)
[13:54] Jur: hi sarah i saw this box with 10 000 textures as a freebee! it is in fact a kinda grieving thing cus it will be weeks and weeks unloading!
[13:55] Jur : and the you have to delete everything cus it is 10.000 times almost the same tecture... so i thought, when i saw it: i tell you!
[13:55] Sarah Nerd: the big box is filled with a bunch of smaller boxes, and when you open texture boxes now they dont all come up on the screen like they used to
[13:56] Sarah Nerd: Ok I'll check it out
[13:56] Jur: i got 1 very revcently! it took me a day to clean up me mess!!:-) may there should nbe a warning, like not for newborns!
[13:56] Jur: hehehe
[13:57] Jur: :-)
[13:57] Sarah Nerd: When I open something with several textures I get a message saying that preview has been disabled and they go straight to the folders
[13:58] Jur: me screen filles with a view pics and a message that previews where disabled cus off everything coming to fAST!
[14:00] Sarah Nerd: I opened a box of 100 and had 12 come up on the screen the rest went into the folder.
[14:00] Jur: are they all different? and are the boxes indeed diffeent?
[14:01] Sarah Nerd: the boxes are sorted into catagorys
[14:01] Jur: ah, then the box is just not foir unexperienced persons like me!
[14:02] Jur: sorry!
[14:02] Sarah Nerd: I value the opinion but still see the item as very usfull for builders.
[14:02] Sarah Nerd: usefull*
[14:02] Sarah Nerd: But then again Im a texture nut
[14:02] Jur: for builders...ok!
[14:03] Jur: you should warn people ! hehehe!
[14:03] Jur: :-)
[14:03] Jur: only for builders!
[14:04] Sarah Nerd: Well generally people taking textures take them for that purpose, and since they are catagorized and boxed, if someone opens one box and decides they dont like the textures they wont open a 2nd
[14:04] Sarah Nerd: I don't see the item as a threat
[14:04] Jur: that s what i did!, but what happened next wa that each day me inventory loaded 250 y texrues
[14:05] Sarah Nerd: But I understand your point here
[14:05] Sarah Nerd: You can delete the entire folder and it will no longer be in your inventory
[14:05] Sarah Nerd: in one click
[14:05] Jur: it took me days and a visit to help island to realize that me in v was loading 10.ooo items!
[14:05] Sarah Nerd: I have a 35,000 item inventory =)
[14:06] Jur: but me 2000 take 5 minutes fetching on me pc!!!!!
[14:06] Sarah Nerd: right click the entire folder in your inventory, select delete
[14:07] Sarah Nerd: right click the trash folder, select empty
[14:07] Jur: oh i did, but the textures who where loaded lkater where in there own folder, 1 for each day!
[14:08] Sarah Nerd: well you should of had 1 folder for each box you opened
[14:08] Jur: no they were not! they where just there! without folder!
[14:08] Sarah Nerd: if it was self replicating folders, it was a sl bug
[14:09] Jur: but hey! it is neither here nor there! i got rid of them!
[14:09] Jur: and had a laugh!~
[14:09] Sarah Nerd: Awesome
[14:09] Jur: o0kiolios!
[14:09] Jur : :-)

Jur was very good-natured about the problem
What a nice newb. Was passing on his/her bad experience, but kept smiling and even "had a laugh". Be great if everyone had a similar temperament ;)
Yea He was really cool about
Yea He was really cool about it. Most people with issues tend to COME AT YOU IN CAPS!!!!! When theres an issue. This guy was friendly and has much better tempermant then most people including me.
hehe.
I remember the first time I opened a prim and saw more prims... it was nutty, because it was textures... and it is/was amazingly difficult to sort through that many items.
But there's no other way to do it.
I guess in a way those freebie collections can be a lightbulb for the moths, but you know... it is important to learn how to use one's inventory.
But griefing? Hehe. That *is* a stretch.
Freebie Freaks
Yea I kinda got his point, But still felt the textures usefull to people. I passed it to my freebie freaks group who loved it. (And shamless plug plug plug... Anyone intersted in joining that group please do because I try to pass along a lot of the good stuff that way)
