That's a great cause. You are right every bit helps and just the effort of doing it is priceless to help charities. Good luck

I love the Sims!

What type of charity may I ask that collects for college classes? Is it for people that can't afford and have issues preventing them to work or get student loans? I am just curious as I work with a lot of charities and donate a lot of my work and I never heard of a college fund charity.

All I can find there is Credit cards and Paypal, which are not acceptable options for the obvious reasons. Edit: For those of you in the US: Credit cards are extremely uncommon in my country. And the fees and additional effort to get a credit card are not worth the trouble just for an online game. I am not sure what country you are in, but a friend of mine lives in Australia and didn't want to use his PayPal account. I gave him information on Greendot pre paid Visa/MC prepaid debit cards because I have customers who pay me with Paypal (I have a PayPal merchant account outside of sl) when they don't have a credit card tied to their PayPal but I never heard if Greendot is world wide. Try searching Greendot Visa and see if you have that where you are, but I would FIRST check with LL billing to make sure they will accept that type of prepaid CC. I know that many people use Walmart cards for SL as Sephina pointed out but she has used that method for some time and I think LL cut down on replacing a payment method or new accounts using them. Good Luck.

I just looked and they are still selling L's. They don't buy them for RL money though and never did. However, if LLis serious about closing all exchanges I don't see how they can make an acception for her. I don't either no matter how many regions she pays for, but do you think she is able because she "technically" (I say that loosely as I don't know how her site works with $L payouts or purchases) fall under the "person to person" trading so it's not against the TOS, whichever version or the blog statement? No I don't. Her exchange is run by her corporation and works like any other except she doesn't do cashouts. She is probably using all the L's she collects in rent to make even more money from them and avoid having to pay LL cash out fees. She doesn't show up to pay you the L's that you buy. The letter sent to exchanges said to remove all scripted objects in world. She would be using a scripted object to deliver the money. There is no way around that. She probably hasn't shut down yet because she is like some of the others. Still trading based on the 30 day notice provision and trying to get favorable clarification or an exception from LL. But, if they allow her to continue you will hear a scream from all over the world so loud that you won't need to be logged in to hear it. Ahh.. ok, like I said I have no idea how she does $L transactions. I didn't think about the 30 day notice, wondering why too with the 30 day notice the other exchanges have stopped until further notice since they still had a month. Yes, I am sure the screams would be heard loud and clear without being logged on if she was allowed to continue.

One of my first thoughts when all this came down was what Anshe Chung must have thought. I recall you mentioning that Perrie. So, even though she is the top land baron and has in world presence different than a 3rd party exchange, isn't she still a 3rd party exchange?

Ty. I didn't see anything on their home web page so I wasn't sure.

Trinity this is not directed to you but to the thread. Is Anshex still able to service residents with $L ?

This is a large account holder, one of the Top 10 land barons, they have an account manager. Appreciate your explaination, Madeliefste explained this as well. As I stated previously I wasn't sure, it was what made sense to me from the posts.

The reason is paying LL more then 100.000 usd a month for tier. That would make sense.

(not having doubt about the person who posted it of course, but shes not the one who recieved personaly the mail) That post puzzled me greatly. "I know an estate owner who runs a little exchange as well. He has contacted his account manager for more clarifaction. He was told : "We will shut down any resident for a violation of the terms of service if we discover they are trading L$ outside of the LindeX. The only authorized exchange is the LindeX." If they are the Estate owner then who is this 'Acct Mgr?' Something does not compute? Madeliefste Oh wrote: The account manager is the contact person at Linden Lab.

I don't know of anyone having a LL acount manager but I could be wrong anything is possible. I came to the same conclusion when I read a similar post that said the same thing as the statemnet above. I was not talking about a person owning a single private region with an exchange terminal. I was talking about a person in the top 10 of biggest estate owners. I misunderstood your reply then as the previous posts said an estate owner who "runs a little exchange" would not lead me to believe that it would be a big estate owner as it coincides with another post of the same. I also read on pages of the exchange sites that they would shut down any resident using terminals that violated the LL TOS. I have no idea how what type of support the big estate owners have from LL as stated I wasn't sure if my answer was correct.

yes

I use firestorm so I am not sure how others work. With FS go to Help > Report Abuse. If you have a screenshot that will be helpful to your AR then it will ask you if you want to use the screenshot that appears when you open the AR window. If you don't have one it shouldn't matter. If it's an object click on the box icon. You will also need to select a category that the AR falls under. Give a brief description of what the issue is and avoid any emotional input.

Trinity Yazimoto wrote: Virvox says this : "We have asked Linden Lab for clarification. Until we know what this all means, we have disabled deposits of Linden Dollars" As everyone here they have noticed that the TOS and the blog doesnt say the same thing... So we have to wait they say which to believe. A person of one of the TP exchange systems has posted the mail they recieved ffrom LL... obviously it was coming from the same person who wrote the blog and not the one who wrote the TOS. LL here is nothing but as their usual behavior... no respect at all for their users... saying one thing, then stating another one... And here they are playing a really dangerous game if they kill one time for all, the SL economy... And kill the creativity that flows through second life as well as businesses and users who enjoy enhancing their sl through purchasing the objects those create.

Perrie Juran wrote: Just noticed this. 28 Billion Linden's exchanged. That's around $115,000,000 U.S. Wow. I didn't even look at that part of the page, just read the text. That dollar amount alone shows just how many people rely on that service alone. I am at a loss of words on how many people this will affect in sl merchants and residents alike.

Tateru Nino wrote: Nothing has changed. The wording has been updated to reflect the policy. It doesn't mean you can't get your L$ from any other exchange, if you want to. The LindeX has been the only authorised exchange since 2006. The other exchanges are (as always) unauthorised (but permitted) and the TOS lays out how Linden Lab normally deals with any fraudulent transactions that take place. If English isn't your first language, you might easily misinterpret the usage of the word "authorised" in this context. So, nothing to see here. It is as it has been for some years now. If the exchanges are reporting that they no longer service second life residents , then no you can't get your money from any other exchange. Seems like the well established exchanges have stopped all L$ activity.

I don't know if I can post the link here but you may want to go to the virwox home page and read their update as well as other 3rd party exchanges. It clears up at the confusion if they can be used anymore.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the target group, individual or belief. in that case you'd best isolate yourself from the world, never say, write, or do anything at all, because someone, somewhere, at some point in time is likely to take offense. In terms of SL that'd mean that LL had better just close down if they don't want anything to happen that might potentially offend someone, as it's certain to happen with whatever people do. I've seen people get offended at pink clothes, supposedly it's deregatory to homosexuals. Chocolate is offensive to blacks, apparently, as is coffee (never met a black person who thinks that way, but there's enough people claiming they should be). There's people offended by any display of anything that doesn't match their religious beliefs. There's people offended by the mere sight of a piece of human (especially female) skin, whether real of imaginary. There's people offended by the very existence of music and other entertainment. There's of course people offended by commercial activity... Yes people get offended over anything that can be imagined as you even state in your examples. It's sad how many people in the world are actually like that and all the education on tolerance can't save them all from being that close minded. I don't see how you get LL should close down because of people getting offended. That makes no sense at all. Whether people get offended or someone offends, that's like, in 1st and 2nd and anyone offended in sl can either avooid things that offend them or if they feel it's against the TOS they can choose to AR it. Is this what you got from my sentence? That was not my suggestion. edit spelling

I think my reply was to vague it's not you at all.

No no no! It was an example of the replies I was referring to in the other thread. It wasn't you that was rude at all

ROFLMAO.. I am offended cuz that's not my favorite video oh and I thought I was always right, thanks for setting me straight. Have fun with the thread you and your clique!!!
