From: Captain Clipper There is NO 'Art' in SL. It is all design!  Sorry, gotta call bullshit on this one. Some of the builds I've seen, some of the images and tricks and "How did they do that?" moments that I've seen, all the live entertainment, the DJs, the painters who display here, the sculptors who take a group of standard prims and make beauty out of them, the animators creating dances (not the standard Animation Pack ones taken from some MoCap site, but the ones actually designing dances were AVs move together, interact and flow)... I'm sorry, but you do a disservice to all of these talented people when you make a starement like that, even in jest.

Thanks Mickey, for calling bullshit -- I was about to do the same. What's the difference between "design" and "art" anyway? Sounds like some sort of academic art school BS to me ... But anyway, that's way off topic now. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to have a more positive experience of SL, although it's slow going. I'm getting into building and have met a few people -- not tons, but a few. The place is so huge, I haven't had to time to thoroughly explore. But thank you, thank you for all your positive suggestions! I plan to stick around for awhile (although, I'll probably need a new computer to really get the most out of it.  ) |

"I was reading a few posts back about prejudice towards those with free accounts. It's not that their accounts are free, but that they're unverified. There's a big misconception that in order for one to become verified, he/she has to go premium and pay monthly for the account. Not true, at this writing anyway. Giving CC or debit card info or purchasing Lindens with a CC, debit card or through Paypal (which has verified you through your bank account) will verify you. "
If they ever get that far. As I said inthe past most these accounts DON`T turn in to paying accounts they just throw out after 30 days ( a very small percentage turns in to prem accounts. Even after they give information or not. The get the weekly pay and the status as FULL ACCOUNTS take that does with Being a non freebie account. Its then thrown out after 30days then a fresh avie is made then the whole cycle goes on again. Ones that DON`T provide account have not intention to pay for second life. The take all the money the either cash out etc.........
