Sounds like a hair DEMO. You'll have to buy the actual hair.. unless you want the sign hovering over your head.

I don't see them bringing it back any time soon. They purchased it "as part of [their] social strategy and a larger ambition to integrate powerful social networking capabilities into the Second Life experience." So it's already been assim.. er.. integrated. Resistance is futile.

LL must think it impractical, as we had a good part of that at Avatars United. Until LL bought it, that is.

Sounds to me like you should going after the club owner for those $Ls.

How we bill mainland holdings On the Mainland, we bill based on peak usage for the prior 30 days; your land's billing is based on the date the land was acquired, and the amount of land held in the prior 30 day period. Our Land Pricing page states this as: Once the peak usage has been billed, your peak usage is reset to the current amount of land you own or have donated to a group. All land owned or donated during the prior 30 days is counted, no matter the amount of time it was held. Account fees, which are separate from mainland billing, are based on the user's sign up date and are paid in advance. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Billing/ta-p/700037

Forum ranking? That would be here.

My own AO is a hodgepodge of stuff I've picked up, but for a pre-packed set, I happen to like SEmotion. Or at least my alts do.

Hardware Skinning: Formerly Avatar Vertex Program, this allows some aspects of avatar rendering to be handled by your graphics card to improve performance. Avatar Cloth: Allows the rendering of flexible cloth on avatar clothing, such as shirts and flared pants.

I would imagine the procedure would be the same as if you were selling/transfering to another party. Both avatars need to submit tickets: Private Region transfer FAQ Can I transfer my Private Region to someone else? Yes, Linden Lab can perform Resident-to-Resident transfers of Private Regions (Islands), but both buyer and seller need to agree on a price. Keep reading to get answers to your questions. Important: If the buyer's payment fails for any reason, then the transfer is cancelled and no action is taken. Both Second Life accounts must be in good standing (not delinquent/in debt) for the transfer to take place. How do Private Region transfers work? Both buyer and seller must submit support tickets, via the Support Portal, that name the Region to be transferred and the transaction amount they've agreed upon. This amount can be in either U.S. dollars (USD) or Linden dollars (L$). Both sides also have to confirm other details about the Region being transferred. Here's how to submit a ticket: Go to the Support Portal and login with your Second Life account. Click New Ticket Submission. Select Ticket Type: Land and Region Issues with these details:Region Request: Region Change Region Change: Transfer Transfer type: Select "I am buying..." or "I am selling..." as-appropriate. Complete the other required fields; the information must be consistent for both the buyer and seller tickets. When all the details have been entered, scroll to the bottom and click Finish >>. If both tickets match (that is, they state the same details and value), we charge the buyer through their Second Life account, either in USD or L$ as specified in the tickets. Once the charge has been successful, we credit the seller the same amount minus the transfer fee that we normally charge. The transfer of the Region then goes ahead as usual. If buyers use PayPal as their payment method, they need to have their PayPal agreement set to a high enough spending limit (by default PayPal limits are relatively low). Is there a transfer fee? Yes. The USD$100 (or L$28,000 for L$ transfers) Region Transfer fee, which is always debited from the seller's account, is for the backend work by Linden Lab, which includes: Changing Estate ownership settings Billing transfer Region name change Moving the Region This means buyers need valid payment information on file with Linden Lab (or have the necessary account credit in USD or L$). The Increase Credit link on your Dashboard (shown when you click the Manage link under the Linden Exchange heading on the left) can be used to add USD credit to an account. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Managing-private-Regions/ta-p/700115
