Yeah, the "fauxbians" are aplenty!

The lag at LP is killer, when I go I have to detach everything and drop my graphics down to nothing, it's kinda suck ass. AND since they are so paranoid about guys (like a guy couldn't easily slip into a female shape/skin) there are too few butches for my liking.

Metro
(and never checked out the GLBTQI Hub, I'll have to do that)

When you get the old man avi, seriously, give me a heads up so I can come watch the freak out! And check out the HUB, it's a good place and I know there are at least 5 people from BFP that hang out there.

PS: Metro you never told us your name there, feel like sharing?

Nerd: Thanks a ton for explaining SL for me, I hadn't seen the posts until just now.

A woman I know casually spends so much time in Second Life that she insists that the people she meets there are more real and closer friends to her than any of her other friends. (in real life)

Now I know who to come to when I really want to vandalize Linden Labs, good to know! *grins wickedly*

SL is incredibly easy to get started, and as Nerds mentioned the emerald viewer should be windows 7 compatible. It is completely free, though once you get there you'll want L$ (the currency in world) to shop, but even that can be easy enough to get without dipping into your own pockets.

There is plenty of Butch/Femme/Trans space and a number of SL players are also members on BFP so, you've got the inside track to some good B/F/T welcoming places.

There is TONS of BDSM/Leather space. And Butch/Femme/Trans welcoming kink space. But, as everywhere, be wary of the people that are SL kinksters only, they think they know everything when the type of play possible there isn't always realistic.

The majority of communication is chat/text based, though there are many places where voice chat is enabled and so people can speak to each other, which is always fun. I often can't voice chat, but I can listen to those that are an type my responses, which is the best of both worlds.

Sorry this thread wasn't clear from the outset, thank you all for being patient and at least curious enough to look into it. So, yay, that!

Second Life (SL) is a virtual world, online. Sort of like The Sims but waaaaaaaaaaaay better.

If you've never been there, but are at all interested in 3D, highly interactive, highly user generated virtual world, I'd certainly recommend it.

* what's your name? Scota Parisi

* when is your rez day? 12/5/2006

* male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? Female - Annunaki.

* what do you do? Generally, wander a lot and work security at The HuB.

* where are your haunts? The HuB and the various assorted "lesbian" places. I generally prefer places the use Voice chat. (think Skype for not SL'ers).

* what's the story behind your name? Scota is an old name for an Egyptian princess that some stories say "Scotland" is named after. I wanted an old name for Vampyre role playing inworld.

* are you partnered? It's complicated.

* tell anything you want us to know! I've seen a lot my time in Second Life. A lot of con artists, stalker types, really mentally unbalanced people. No patience for bullies in there either.

Also seen a lot of good be done, people raising money for Relay for Life and other charities. In the early days, helped work security and helped deal with griefers (think internet trolls) that would attack areas known to be specifically places for homosexuals. Still working Security too.

Used to be a gamer playing Star Wars Galaxies but the constraints they put on the game to keep it real to the combat stuff, made the game generally boring. I heard about a "virtual world" and fell down into the rabbit hole. Yours truly owns a small dance club called "Mezzaluna" that is away from the crowds in SL. No lag, soft jazz playing - it's very romantic. (yep, that's a plug!)

I've mentored quite a lot of people in Second Life, helping them learn the ropes. If you join us there, post something here so that we can find you inworld and help you get started.

I run it on Win7 with no issues.

My rez date is 4/2007. I don't actually do anything in SL, I just sell stuff on xStreet. Primarily fabric textures for clothing and other designers. My avatar is about as nondescript as it gets and just stands in one spot on a bare strip of land.

My SL experience is really just about L$ and conversion rates.
