1. Why did you start using Second Life? How long have you been a resident?

I've been a resident since April 07. I read an article about Second Life on MSN (had never heard of anything like it and HAD to check it out).

2. What is your age bracket? 18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51+

gulp... 51+

3. How much time do you spend in Second Life? What do you do in world the most?

minimum an hour a day, more on the weekends. I love like music events and have several favorites that i see regularly. I have a carpet store, so I create carpets.

4. How much money do you spend in Second Life?

Not so much anymore.... uploading textures is about it. I have a ton of clothes, things, land and home as well as my store. No need to spend anymore other than tiers and uploading (store covers tiers)

5. Do you earn money in Second Life? How much and how?

See above... Carpet store

6. Do you build anything for the game?

LOL

7. What makes you keep coming back?

I like the venue, I like the people, I like the options to do more than chat.

2. What is your age bracket? 18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51+

3. How much time do you spend in Second Life? What do you do in world the most?

almost nothing other than uploads

1. Why did you start using Second Life? How long have you been a resident?
A friend referred me, back in the beta. I've been a resident since March 2003 :)

2. What is your age bracket? 18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51+
18-30, towards the upper end

3. How much time do you spend in Second Life? What do you do in world the most?
When I'm not on "sabbatical", I generally spend 1-4 hours a day in SL. I've taken two of my "sabbaticals" though where I'm gone about 6-10 months :p

4. How much money do you spend in Second Life?
US$0, I have a lifetime account. My L$ spending varies, depending on whether I find something I want to buy.

5. Do you earn money in Second Life? How much and how?
Not much, I get my regular weekly stipend, plus I've created a few odds and ends that have wound up generating a steady but small trickle of L$ (maybe L$100-500 a week).

6. Do you build anything for the game?
Yeah, whatever strikes my fancy, really. I'm currently working on an oddball project just because I thought it'd be fun to mess with. That's my MO.

7. What makes you keep coming back?
Friends. Over the years I've made a few close friends, and I like keeping in touch with them and working with them on projects.

2. 31-40
3. About 3 hours/week now. I wish it was more. Deal with customers, shop, and play with other residents.
4. I have no idea; I just spend what I feel like spending. Some days it's L$5000; some it's none.
5. Yes. About L$3000/day, by selling clothes.
6. I don't "build," I design clothing in a 3rd party software.
7. My friends.
