“I’m a new member, but I can’t even view the forums without giving you payment info? That just seems to go against everything the Net stands for. I want to read posts and maybe ask a question or two before I give payment info or sign up to buy some land. I’m a 3d artist by trade, so I have special questions and a special interest in SL. But again, not being able to even view the forum as a basic member is a huge turn-off. ”
Seriously, i had no idea payment info was required to access the forums…so LL is more into protecting the forums from spam than the grid???WOW!!! Seems a bit backwards to me! Why is this?
