To the original question (OP), avis are like the changing tech similar to computers, media players, etc. People bought a ton of VHS tapes for their VHS player, then the DVD was introduced. Some will not go for DVD and dispose their hard earned cash investments in VHS. People still keep their VHS, but more transition to DVD only because they no longer make films on VHS. Unless SL creators quit doing classic avi fashion and accessories, no reason for everyone ot transition over.

Dres: You mean self-centered like how some people make 4-5 alts, have all of them attend and join the contest, vote for each other, go afk until the announcement of the winners, and then disappear after they take home the lindens gained by all the avis they have? Oh Heavens no...this is SL, it will never happen.

1. Working in SL can be just as fulfiliing as contest hopping. Personally I love club hosting/dancing because i am a people person, my tips far exceed the earned lindens andf effort of contest hopping. 2. Many places have games like trivia balls, sploder balls and devices which pay you for just chatting and hanging out at one club.

Wow! I havent learned Turkish for a long time! Tessekur ederim!

Most employers in my experience do not search or skim through the Employment forum looking for applicants. You have a lot of different skills, so your doors to opportunities will be potentially vast in number. Start applying at places where they are advertising openings. I received many responses when I applied through the Employment forums. Bes ure to ask for a notecard describing the duties of the positions you are applying for. Happy job hunting and much success!

Welcome to Sl, Mr.Bravado :matte-motes-big-grin: When I first started on SL, there were many places I visited: beaches, clubs, groups and so on. I made friends by frequetly visiting one or two places, listening on local and adding a comment when a question was thrown on the floor. How people there responded to newcomers going into their local conversation determined my length fo stay there. Pick a couple fo places that have traffic, don't start off with the most popular, pick on or two that has a medium amount. Go to Search for places, type in keywords that interest you (i love clubs and beaches so that is where I started as my frist two places), scroll down the listing that appears and pick a medium trafffic area. Have fun!

Hi Sweet: Besides skimming through the Employment portion of the forums, go through the online Search function online and start applying at clubs, even if they have no ads asking for new hires. If you can , try to make appointments with the manager or owner for a informal interview. I have gained employment right on the spot after a few minutes with the manager on duty. Actively applying will reap more benefits in the long run. Good luck to you!

Prior to my current hiatus from SL,I worked as a hostess at 2 clubs, shopped for clothes and goodies with my SL mother or SL aunt, went horseback riding, went dancing with friends or solo at other clubs.

Hi Everly! I responded to one of your other posts about being a hostess and dancer. I hope you applied at places and got employed by one or two. I am 4 hours ahead of you. Always open to meeting a new sister. IM me, we can catch up!

Hi Evelynn: Welcome to Second Life! I started off as a dancer, then switched over to hosting. Occasionally I still dance when I am in the mood. A few tips in my opinion: LOOKS - always try to look your best, appearance is secondary to personality and interaction but it is the first thing visible to club patrons PERSONALITY - foremost important in greeting and socilaizing with all types, enjoy what you are doing, but it is a job, take nothing personal. AVAILABILITY - be available every day if possible, the times you log in can vary to your RL schedule, but greater flexibility offers more time slots for you to work in SL VOICE - not all clubs require this, I don't use voice in the 4 clubs I am at TEAMWORK - everyone has to work together, there shouid be no rivalry or competition among co-workers APPLYING - put in as many applications as you can, sometimes a manager or owner will hire you on a trial basis just because he or she has a good feel from you during the interview (this is how a no-experience noob like me got started) Good luck, may you find success and many lindens!

LOL :matte-motes-shocked: OMG...now I am depressed.

I love shopping on the onsire Marketplace. Always something new every day. I love the Final Fantasy series and its characters. Always glad to help others if asked nicely. Other posters have responded in kind to the best of their ability and they in turn receive rude nasty comments. Sad. Not worth my time.

The OP has posted many posts in the forums, asking about how to get a SL girlfriend, what does a man need to get a SL girlfriend. This post asks the same thing again. Prior posts have had good, bad and funny responses. Not once has he responded to any of these posts he started. I even looked him up in-world, sent an IM to him. No response.

t sent you an in-world IM a few days ago. See you online!

Part of SL experience is the ability to experiment and play around with the editing ability of changing appearance of your avi. If you have a certain look that you seek, have you looked and found anything of similar qualities that may only need a little tweaking here and there? Searching inworld and on SL Marketplace? Like others have and will say, custom avis can be expensive.

Megan, You will have to dig a bit. The name on the pic said Sooji, I searched for images under "SL sooji", it was attached to a website that stated this is a free skin at Mother Goose's. Since it is free, unsure if still available, might want to head on out there and get the free skin, it might have that same hair included or it will have a styling notecard that will point you to where you can ge that hair. If you find an image of something, search for the image and see what site it is attached to, that might shed some light on what you seek. Hope this helped.

Part of the fun is the unlimited customization of your avatar. Economically and maybe more convenient would be to search for an avatar in SL marketplace that closely or somewhat resembles what look you want. Purchase it and tweak it if the skin and shape is modifiable.

Closed beta starts 6/20/14 Two factions, one embraces cyberpunk technology, the other embraces nature. Multiple races and classes. Look it up...

Had the same idea as Tex here. Maybe it was a Star Wars sim.

Gamer gilr here. Main interests in MMORPGs (WoW, SWTOR, RIFT, TERA, Swordsman Online, Black Gold Online, etc.) , not so much in console or handhelds. If you want to chat on MMORPGs, IM me :matte-motes-big-grin:

I agree with Marianne, Coca and Wolf is one of the great places for muscular and fitness model types of avi.

Keira: Keep in mind when interacting in SL that SL is free. Therefore it is open to anyone with a PC to join and make an avi. This also means it is open to people of all sorts including those with immaturity and other issues not worth mentioning. I have had my share of them since I came back. Mute them and continue to enjoy SL.

Ok I was only answering the original posted question. Didn't know he was trolling several topics

Why not visit the nude beach sims in SL if you want to see nude ladies?
