This past week, many Second Life residents suddenly started creating accounts in Avatars United which is a Social Networking Website for Avatars. After the announcement of Linden Lab’s acquisition of Avatars United, Second Life residents, like Lemmings, started joining in.

I first joined Avatars United in 2008 but never really did anything in it except add a few Avatars from various MMORPGs and posted a couple of blog entries. In fact, if it wasn’t for Linden Lab’s acquisition and announcement then I would have totally forgotten that a Social Networking Website named Avatars United exist specially now that I’ve rediscovered Facebook.

Did you know? Responsible CryoLife users exist in the virtual world of Second Life. Well, at least that is how I understand what one commenter said in defense of his use of CryoLife. Basing from his comment, responsible CryoLife users like this person use CryoLife as a defense against griefing or griefers and for circumventing Second Life’s permission system by removing or getting rid off the “no copy” status from items thus making them copiable.

For those of us who have legit uses for it (especially recoloring your avatar) it’s a life saver. Or to get rid of no copy status from clothing items so you’re not forced to risk ruining them.

Awesome! Circumventing Second Life permission system is, undeniably, a very responsible use of CryoLife. Wait! Items in Second Life can only be either No Copy/Transfer or Copy/No Transfer not both, right? So, if you get rid of the No Copy status then you are making the item Copy which will make it Copy/Transfer, right? Isn’t that almost like Semi-Full Perms already and why stop there? Why not get rid of the No Mod status too and make it Full Perms? Oh, I forgot, this person is a  responsible CryoLife user and because he is responsible a status of Copy/Transfer on an originally No Copy item is good enough for him/her. Isn’t it AWESOME? Making No Copy items Copy! WOOOHOOO! A lot of people will surely like that kind of responsible use of CryoLife. [...continue reading Responsible CryoLife Users Exist?!]

The tools for stealing content in Second Life become more and more advance each passing day. It started with text only clients which are really not that easy to use to the current ones which are full SL viewers that makes stealing content as easy as clicking a button. Before, all you can steal are baked textures and prim objects but now almost anything can be stolen (textures, sounds, scripts and even animations).

I still remember when many forum posters in the now closed XstreetSL.com forum deny the existence of CopyBot. Going as far as attacking those who became victims of it and were starting threads about it. They kept saying that it doesn’t exist. Well, for something that doesn’t exist it sure is getting a lot of attention lately. [...continue reading Step Up? Content Creators Against Content Theft]

Today Linden Labs released the latest version of their viewer for Second Life and, that’s not all, they also launched their newest continent, Zindra. Zindra is an Adult rated continent accessible to those residents who age verified their Second Life accounts. If your account is not Age Verified as an adult then you won’t be able to visit Zindra.

Age Verified

The Age Verification process is quite easy to do but, still, many residents are getting a hard time age verifying their accounts. If you are one of those that are having some difficulty age verifying your account using your real life information then here is an easy way to get age verified. [...continue reading Second Life’s Age Verification Made Easy]

I learned about these Traffic Cones by Bletaverse through a comment posted by someone named LindenHunter in my blog post titled “Earn Linden Dollars Easy With metaRL.com”. I visited their website and went in-world to check out their so called Traffic Cones.

There you’ll find infoboards explaining how these Traffic Cone works. I mainly focused on the “how to get free linden” part which is very easy. Here is how: [...continue reading Earn Linden Dollars by Traffic Cone Jumping]

Yesterday, I was treated to a very RARE sighting (and NO, I’m not talking about UFO sighting, LOL) in Second Life. I was at sionLabs checking out the sionChicken vendors when a figure named Matthew Linden appeared infront of me. At first I thought I was just seeing things but after zooming in and checking him out better I confirmed that he was indeed a Linden.

It was the second time I’ve seen a Linden in Second Life. The first Linden I saw (and even met) was Harmony Linden. He/she helped us with some problems with Ghost Prims (at least we thought they were Ghost Prims, LOL) about 2 years ago. [...continue reading Matthew Linden, Checking Out sionChickens]
