ok I'll give it a whirl ty

I tried that but no joy. I'm glad it's nt my pc then are others having problems?

I can't seem to log in. 'Unable to connect to simulator'. . If so Im off to facebook for avatars friends meet me there please :) Maybe its my pc ?

I think Chelsea was referring to 100K in real life. Correct me if I'm wrong. But feel free to make it yourself, and when you do post and tell me how

Thanks Chelsea. Your response has made me realise my original intent here. To create something I love , and if I sell then its a bonus, but practically I just dont want to put in the same hours and time as before to receive a third of my income. If things don't pick up soon I think I will sadly have to throw in the towel and leave something that has been such a huge part of my life for 5 yrs now. Very hard. I'm sorry to hear that you went through difficult times, and you stayed, good on you! I do hope things will improve for all, but right now personally I'm hanging by a thread..time will tell

ideas please???

A wheelie bin in the UK is probably the equivalent of a large trash cart/bin in the US

Hi Storm . I dont want to divulge my business idea but it would help disabled and elderly people greatly. I think your idea is exceptional. Do you see a great need for this? Excuse my ignorance but do disabled or elderly people have assistance with this ?

and so as an esteemed creator earning 100k a year to one which can now barely afford tier. I'm sure you must feel as dishearted as I Do you ever feel it will pick up again? Or are we as they say flogging a dead horse? SL was and probable always will be at the forefront of virtual worlds. But not in the way we know it. I think the great creators will give up and LL will be forced to turn sl into something very very different.

A quick note :- I will subcontract. To the inquisitive individuals who wonder why a interior designer would be interestred in such a business

hmmm

p.s I have an hons degree in int design /architecture but am unable to work physically in this area right now

I am highly creative and motivated. I have created 4 successful ventures 1 in SL 3 rl. Mainly in the interior design field and creative products industry. I'm looking for a new venture to pursue in RL abt right now I have the equivalent of writers block! I get bored fairly easily and like to move on to the next best thing. So any ideas would be gratefully received

No very original . But I would consider the shoe business if only to wear a size 12 doctor martin & kick your butt with it!

lol harsh! but unhelpfuk!

lol unfortunately I 'd have to squash that idea )

hmm not bad

I post as my alt. I have been in sl 5 yrs now and own one of the largest design companies. I have watched the steady decline in sales & custom and also numerous first class creators leaving. Mesh will not keep existing creators here when there's no money to be made. They don't want to send their time again learning how to create mesh objects. I understand that LL need to improve & update. But they need to advertise not upgrade! I would urge all creators to stress this to LL asap. Otherwise Secondlife will soon become a pleasant memory to us all.

whats a good name for a wheelie bin business?

I'm looking to start a new business venture in RL Please post your ideas here. All ideas are welcome : )

Yes we've all heard that SL is slowly declining. But why? Because people are so reluctant to spend. No customers no creators , no world. Go figure. Have you noticed lately that the larger more established businesses don't advertise in search anymore, Their traffic stats are ridiculously low. Its a real shame... SL winding down like an old worn out grandfather clock. Slowly ticking,ticking away and then one day shuddering to a halt. So do something about it ... support the creators who make SL what it is.

Of course it won't . Its an entrelydifferent thing. is I 've noticed over the last few months sl picking up. About time too . I was beginnning to think it had passed its sell by date. But business is good

lol

Virtually no lag at all for me

heheheh
