Kirk says children at risk in Second Life

I can't *wait* for people like him to show Sky News footage as "proof" of children being solicited. You jes know he will.
Won't someone think of the virtual children? ;-)
And yes, this is election year pandering to his base. Toss out the standard verbiage about "protecting children" and "preserving family" to get your right-wing votes. Never mind what this guy might do the rest of the year.
This sort of thing has been going on for decades, from fears that waltzes would corrupt the youth, though the "Seduction of the Innocent" and the Comics Code, and so on. With Kirk's call, you just have to add an additional level of stupid to the mix.
So he knows of know cases of this happening, yet he's decided that it's an issue big enough for a consumer advisory. Spare me.
Peering Inside: Disorienting experiences
Massively
Apr 21st 2008 12:08PM I've had to help other friends get out of that Orientation island as well. Sounds like it was a good idea, but pooly executed and maintained. Definitely not one that'll make folks want to come back!
I have to say, too, that I agree on focusing on "how to walk, get and keep notecards, send inventory, send an IM, use search, make a friend" -- at the least, these are skills that not only help a newbie, but also help the SL community as a whole. I might also include "rez a cube" in there somewhere.

Apr 17th 2008 5:26PM This month is definitely rivaling the end of 2006 for performance troubles. I really wonder jes what is goin' on to cause all this -- an more importantly, is it correctable in some sorta long-term fashion.
Peering Inside: Whither avatar puppeteering?

Apr 7th 2008 4:36PM Kinda a shame, really. I jes was reading about the project at its onset in mid-2006. It would have been been a lot better than whipping up animations in DAZ Studio, QAvimator, or Poser!
New Ruths for old?

Mar 30th 2008 12:26PM I wonder how this will affect the current ruth? Will new skin and clothing textures be required? How much content will be broken - or will any?
