Please tell us more, I LIVE for this kind of drama!
Ahem. It basically sounds like Second Life is somehow an even more insane playground of madness and insanity than F-List. Which is honestly starting to look fairly chill in comparison, considering what I've observed in this thread so far.
One query I've got is what the game's creators have had to say about all this. LL was fairly open back in the day, but have they made any major comments about the state of their community in recent years? It sounds as if SL has basically gone from 'that virtual sim with all the pedos' to 'that virtual sim for pedos'.
You want drama? I'm talking "the dad is secretly banging the daughter who is banging her brother (who's actually a chick and lives with the mother in real life)"-caliber shit. If you're lucky you can accidentally trigger people without even trying: I made an off-hand joke about midgets while hanging out with a friend once, and her friend suddenly started raging at me about how one of her friends was a "little person" and killed herself because of bullying (and then revealed that she, herself, was a midget too). And then she told me she loved me 30 minutes later. And this was the first time she met me.
As far as the company that created the program itself, their whereabouts remain a mystery: the aforementioned compulsive pedophile chat-spammer is obviously being forced to make new accounts so there's some semblance of authority present, but that could just be an automated system that deactivates your account after being flagged for "ageplay" so many times. Nothing in-world has been built by any of the staffers (who all carry the surname Linden to differentiate from other users) since 2007 or 2008, and there's absolutely no one moderating any of the infohubs (which are the places people gather to hang out/troll others). No one's even seen a Linden account online, they're like mythical characters at this point. They're keeping the servers running obviously, but I guess they'd just prefer to keep their mouths shut and let the hordes of middle-aged sadsacks that pay them for rent do what they want unless it involves pedophiles. I mean, can you blame them though? Easy money
