Something said about child AVATARS

You should PLEASE consider this stuff: 1). Contrary to what most people outside second life think, there is more to SL than just SEX. Second Life (SL) child avatars ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER IN REAL LIFE - this is ROLEPLAYING childhood and it's sooo much fun! You get to be silly all the time! You can get adopted & hang out with other kids & go to school & whatever else you can dream up! If you're new to being a kid (or teen!) here's what's up - YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING SEXUALLY-RELATED WHATSOEVER. If you want to be a kid AND an adult then make 2 avatar accounts. Just do it. If a child avatar is seen around things like sexual furniture, photos, naked people, etc. - ANYTHING you can think of that's of a sexual nature - Linden Labs can and will delete your account and could even ban your COMPUTER from logging into Second Life. There will be no questions asked - you get caught like that and you're gone - as the Terms of Service for Second Life s

Do not use Emerald - Version 950 has a critical exploit

There is a recently discovered exploit within Emerald that can quite literally allow someone with an appropriately equipped client to strip your entire inventory. Egregiously bad flaw, kids... wait until Modular sorts this one out. Gee, I wish I knew about this before it happened to me. I had problems with my account night before last with my inventory not loading. Don't know how it happened, but it did. --------------------------------EDIT-------------------- Since this post, it happened to me on my main account. The creator(s) of Emerald has since posted a update to their viewer. You will have to download and install this update to continue your fun.

Updated TAO of SPAM

***NCI Spam Central*** *****NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT GROUP***** ***URL: secondlife:///app/group/e8a029bf-a974-e521-9437-6cd72bf96bad/about ======================================== ***Definition of the internet meme/term "Spam": Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast mediums, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, Online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, and file sharing network spam. What is not included in the definiation of "Spam" is the word "advertisement". That said, while it's falsely assumed that being open to spamming means being open to ads; the truth is, that's a very small portion of the heart an

Top 10 Linden Myths

1. Lindens have X-Ray vision This is untrue. Their ability to see you naked has nothing to do with X-Rays. 2. There are only ten Lindens and they rotate through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. This is untrue. There are over 50 Lindens who cycle through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. 3. Lindens have the ability to turn your avatar into a fish. This is untrue. Lindens abilities to turn people into other forms of life is limited to changing you to a toad. 4. Lindens put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. In 2005 this became a myth when FeeFieFoeFanna Linden perfected the first dual legged virtual trouser fitting device (using only four prims!). In 2007 it became a complete impossibility when the official uniform Linden dresscode mandated a nice plaid kilt or skirt. 5. All new Lindens traditionally make a bear to give SL citizens as tokens of goodwill. The real purpose of the bear making tradition is to

A Guide to Anime Emoticons and why they're getting popular

A Guide to Anime Emoticons And why they're getting popular By Sohan D'souza At the dawn of the internet era, BBS-users discovered that the lack of face-to-face communication resulted in conflict when, for example, parodies or humorous comments were taken seriously. Even telephone users could use voice tone to indicate anger, sarcasm or humor. As such, they needed to find a way to express the tone of the messages they were posting. No need to go into how exactly it happened, but the first emoticons were a godsend, and prevented many an awkward, confusing or flammable situation. Over the years, with the evolution of the BBS into the Internet, and then the explosion of online websites, forums and chat interfaces, the proto-emoticon regularly evolved into a myriad sets, mostly unique to their hosts, and even developed into codes that were translated by the communication engine into images and sometimes even animations. As the environment molds evolving lifeforms to its demands,
