1. Wow, that's the opposite

of the US Banking system.

2. I haven't seen an article like this about Second Life since the great ponzi scheme crash a few years

ago. It's like a blast from the past.

3. Well at least it's the first article that doesn't talk shit about Second Life.

Because if anyone ever talked crap about it in sl then i could orbit and cage them.



Of course that is the club i own in SL,and these last few days been hard on the club,and i refuse to book any dj's that don't work only at my club.

4. lol

everyone in SL has a club
and a fox avatar
and a submission collar
etc.

5. Not me. I spend almost all my time in SL role playing.

Although I do have a fox avatar but not an anthropomorphic one.

[RedXIII]

6. True,because there are also human avatars too

7. LOL I haven't been in a SL club in ages.

Hell I forget what my adult shape looks like sometimes I spend so much time in the kid shape.

9. lol

Of course child avatars creep me out for some reason.

8. You mean Ginko?

I've read about them.

10. someone I know thought he would make some $...

...by doing a Chippendale's type of thing on SL with private dances for money. He never got it functioning tho.

11. Well to succeed in SL,,

you don't just pop a vendor down you have to let people in SL,know about it,and use ad boards at various places,Of course it's much harder now since the recession and there was a article from Second Life Left Unity that actually said that laying off people is actaully hurting instead of helping the economy.
