So I popped open the info window for Second Life Mentors a minute ago from someone's profile and went to the members tab, and all the names were (waiting) and then some flashed to (hippos) right before the name loaded. :eek: Hippos in disguise! We're being infiltrated and they're recruiting our newbies!

Yeah, seen that already, I'd just never seen (hippos) used in place of (waiting) before. :p
