I have a negative linden balance, haven't really used SL much over the last year, have purchased nothing, and am -181 on my Linden balance.  What has happened here, and how do I get that stopped?  Thanks for your help folks!

You are probably a member of some groups that are charging accounting fees to their members.  You can see this by looking at your Transaction History on your Dashboard.  You can also look at the groups inworld and look at the roles assigned to the members, especially under the category for your membership.

I have discussed this kind of thing with owners of a couple of groups.  They didn't even realize they had the roles set to charge their members and changed it once they learned of it.  Although, there are also some groups that do charge their memberships, which assists them in covering tier for group owned land.

Hope that helps and you can find out which groups are charging you - then ask the owners about it or leave the group.  That's your choice.

Enjoy!
