Hello everyone, Recently, I thought of a new business idea but I'm not sure if it will be as awesome as it is in my head... I've never been a business owner (save for having a shop at some point) so it will be an entirely new experience for me. Thinking of all the things I have to do, I figured needing some land would be one of those steps. Now I know that land isn't free... but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. As such, here's my question: Is there anyone out there with some unused land, that they would want to give up for me to try out my new business? It will be event-driven (no club, no adult theme) and I assume it will not take up boatloads of prims. Any propositions including getting a cut of the proceeds or getting rent after the business proves to be worthwhile are definitely a possibility! I hope there's someone out there who'd like to help me out... it was worth a try :)

Hey guys, As we all know, notecard spamming isn't fun... though sometimes you did subscribe for something. Lately however, I find that, as a DJ, I get a lot of notecard spam from ATM's in-world who, apparently, spam groups (in my case DJ groups) with stuff like cheap streams and such. Trouble is, I didn't ask for it... and it's starting to happen more often. I was wondering if there is anything we can do about it. Naturally one can block the said ATM... but they'll know you do and just use a new one (apparently). It's not a huge issue but it's just annoying. I'm not sure if it's against TOS or anything, but is there anything else I / we can do other than keep blocking and deleting this stuff?

Your post openly invites people to make fun of it... I'll be social, this time *chuckle* If you are looking for a job in second life, consider what you want to do! "Just any job" doesn't work... you can't apply for -all- jobs at a jobcenter in real life either, can you? Ask youself these things: - Is there any special skill I have? (DJ'ing, photoshop, building, etc) - Is there any special skill I do not yet have but wish to learn? - Do I want to be my own boss, or do I want to work for someone else? Beside that, a good profile, nice looking avatar and some social skills help at any job. Next, go and look in SL for places that suit the type of job you wish to do... want to become a builder? Have a look around at other people's businesses that do professional building... want to host? Have a look at the more famous clubs of SL. The best way to apply for a job, if you don't want to start for yourself, is to go to a club / office / place and ask a staffmember for an application form. Do remember: the prospect of earning some lindendollars might be interesting, but just like in RL... if you don't love what you're doing, you won't do it well... and your "boss" will see Best of luck!

Wow... I don't check on the topic for a couple of days and bam... this many replies O_o I hope I didn't stir up more than I wished... I took the image down btw... I had a feeling of being a little rebellous, if only because someone sending such a notecard is a plain jackass in my eyes... but in the end I highly agree with most of the posts here; it's just not worth the drama I saw someone ask what the name of said previous club was where the image came from. Even though I would like to share that as a sort of backstab to said jackass, I'll choose to be the wiser one and not share it. Once again: Thanks everyone for all replies... very informative to read and certainly worth remembering for the future!

Hey everyone, I was wondering... back in the day we used to have a couple of dedicated-to-SL radio stations... I did a little search but it seems most (all?) of them have gone... are there still true SL radio stations out there that you know of? :)

Thanks for the feedback all. The image was to be replaced when we would have the time for it.. I do agree with all that's been said regarding this shouldn't be an issue. I really do. As I said, I also just wanted to read up a little on legislation just to be sure for anything in the future. I tend not to unlawfully copy other people's creations, but accidents happen and I was just a little startled at this, especially since I do not know a thing or two about US legislation. Learned some new things today, thanks for that. I think that, for the sake of not wasting too much time on this, I'll just kick the image off. Thanks again!

Alright, thanks everyone. I'll contact LL just to be sure, as well. One more question if I may: since I am the uploader, but did this "in assignment for" my friend, are we both target for a possible DMCA, or just me or just her?

Editing it out-of-world to bring back into SL maybe trickier. This would be the terms C/M/T on the image, or written / said terms? (neither do apply btw, but just checking)
