I made an account once, but once I saw you need to download for it I gave up.

QUOTE (Gabbe @ Oct 18 2006, 05:17 PM) For $5K? A small island $1,200, Maybe once it's established I could charge rent or sell off parts of the island to recoup some of the money. It's also $200 per month. -------------------- |

Do me a favor, send me the money instead. I have more useful things to do with it.

I was just reading smth about it this morning, apparently real-life companies are buying properties there, there's even a hotel that's building a virtual property in Second Life to see how it fares before building it IRL
 it said $300,000+ of real money is exchanged on that site every day. i was totally blown away. i had never heard of it before. is it free? what is it/how does it work/etc.

I think its really good for ugly people. I was just thinking up the possibilities if someone were to start an IV that came to peoples houses and they wouldn't have to live in real life really, they could just live second life. for really ugly people.
