bEST WAY TO CLOSE SUBJECT



You can not close your own threads

People have wanted that ability since Forums Time immemorial.

Who Knows, if that had existed Prok probably even wouldnt have gotten banned from the forums.

You swearing is violating the Forums policy I mean.

Im sure this thread will get closed as SOON as Strife sees it.

How very presumptious of you to think yyou can close your own thread. We haven't even had a chance to talk about hair or shoes yet.



....Or age play or gambling....

Not sure why I'm even bothering replying to your senseless rant, edy, but it's a SLow day...

1. Nobody promised you success, in real life or in SL. If you thought they did, you heard wrong.

2. SL is a harder place to be financially successful than real life, and this has never been a secret. Or did you believe that guy who wrote that book "How I Made Millions with Virtual Cash"?

3. $50L per day? I can do that in a couple of hours of playing Trivia at Calla's, while having a pleasant conversation with the other campers. Making much beyond that, though, calls for some skill, creativity, a lot of hard work, and often the outlay of some significant start-up cash.

4. Shops and clubs aren't automatically successful. You need to have a product or service that's different, or better, or cheaper, than the thousands of shops competing with you. You need to advertise. You need to get singled out by the SL media...if you're selling clothes, getting a mention in one of the fashion blogs is a big plus.

5. Selling your body isn't automatically successful, either. You need to make a big investment in your avatar's appearance, and you need to train yourself to be able to spin erotic fantasy at the drop of a..er, hat. Even then, there are a lot of dancers, escorts, and plain old freelancers out there to compete with.

So...stop whining. Either quit trying to get rich quick, and simply enjoy the game, or shut up, buckle down, and come up with some product or service or concept that nobody has ever thought of, and everybody HAS to have.

In this respect, SL works just like the real world...with one big advantage: you can't starve in SL.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly...

You're saying you have no marketable products, skills, talents, or abilities...
...and you're asking why the money doesn't come rolling in?

The main difference between Second Life and Real Life is that we have no welfare program.

Get a job.


have you read any of this thread? ok again...damn the sellin products..all i asked was if there was any other ways to make money other then being a slut and trying to be a salesman. yes im new and just wanted to know other ways to make some cash.

From: Sally Silvera
ROFL this has to be the thread of all threads ROFL, can't stop!!!!!


LOL i agree (pssst help me keep it going)


From: Reitsuki Kojima
So this gist of your argument is that SL's economy sucks because it doesn't bleed out it's metaphorical anus to give money to people who have done nothing to contribute to the economy?


LOL metaphorical anus..i like it. read what I said to annabelle.

and like I said b4...its a game, not real life O.o i dont fuckin know im not working LL. fucking chop and sell trees for wood to build? if your talking a real world like the one we live in then ya...why cant we chop and sell trees for wood for builders ( i havnt met ONE person that can summon a chunk of wood outta thin air or with no materials)..mine ore and sell that out of the ground to synthisis in to metals for building, get a real job other then selling your own products, go kill some deer for some meat and sell it...dont sims ever get hungry?? Id love to start a toilet selling business but since the sims dont take pisses and dont poo so cant do that..maybe I could make phones...or wait theres IM..cant do that. I know Ill run for office..wait there is no gov't structure hmmmm running outta ideas here, maybe Ill apply to become a fire man..is there electrical fires in SL?? ill be a electrical engineer! ya...do we even have to wire our houses?? dont think so scratch that idea. im sure you get my point...I dont see any of these ideas and alot of them money making ideas in SL so dont sit there and say what other ways are there to make money in this world???


Let's see... I have summoned a pile of wood from thin air. I casually mentioned that I could use some wood for my fireplace and two days later I had a cord of wood piled in my side yard. Of course it does help to be cute.

And many people in SL have made food, toilets and phones and made money with them. And as to metals and wood in SL. while not really mining or logging many people do sell metal and wood textures and make money doing so. The only limiting factor in SL is your imagination, if you are not succeeding in your endevors, look to yourself before seeking outside causes.

Well I think you're all heartless. Instead of mocking this poor fella why don't you all send him a $20L bill like I did?

Not completely true, there is camping. With even a short time camping making 50L$ a day is easy.

Do you all think is fair game? is it fair we can't sell our object fater making them in same place as the sanboxes?


a)You get what you pay for.

b) I know a guy that came in here this winter and already has about US$1000 in his account...and never went premium.

It's ok, Edy...not everyone has a business head.

Ok message to the OP, whoever he or she is.

1. Close down your store

2. Sell your land

3. Go to a few classes in world to learn how to build

4. As a first step to trying to sell your items, find a cheap vendor to rent.

The end.

Is this thread about Edy or Smokie? I think they're the same but they aren't the same. Edy wants the thread closed, Smokie wants it open.

Either I need to take my meds or Edy/Smokie does.

Or decide that it's worth it to spend $20 real money to buy L$5,000 and have fun for a while without worry about earning L$50 a day .. which btw is about 20 cents real money.

Sure. I'll pass you the texture in-world (I uploaded it when I first created it a few months ago). I also have an assembled one that plays five secs of 'God Save the Queen..this fascist regime' on rez. :p
