Pardon me for speaking frankly.

I will say that as a new member of Second Life the Virtual Reality World within the Sim is in my own limited experiance more advanced than anything I have ever seen outside of science fiction....(The Matrix, Lawnmower Man) etc. It is extremly good and could be big business

But these BBs software design remind me of the initial limited 3i financial BB site in the Uk back in 1995.....

To be frank they are not really user friendly and I think it would be quite easy for Lindon to do much better.

For a working example please visit www.advfn.com

(code test does this work) (if it does it will be a hyperlink)

Picture code test (not enabled or available here)

See what I mean, that would work over at ADVFN, also live streaming would work

This is NOT a games site but a pure financial site carring most of the worlds stock market information so therefore not competing with Lindon. You will need to register (which is free) and then click the Free BB tab. Another name is the threaded universe. All you computer experts will see there is much much more you can do with this BB design in terms of easy communication, linking, epic threads etc
