Dont you think its high time someone created a competitor for SLX? Its necessary for a healthy and competitive marketplace. Now that Linden Labs have taken over SLX its even worse. Perhaps Linden Labs dont want competitors and why would they, anyone that takes a single linden away from them needs to be eliminated or taken over immediately. So at the end of the day Linden Labs has a monopoly on everything . I wouldnt call that a healthy sustainable economy.

and there is Metabidz, which has the twist of auctioning items, but so far they havent sorted out some issues that stop it being usable (IMHO).

Apez quietly does its thing. Best to stay below LL's radar or get GOM'd.
