In a nutshell - What is this about?

I created this blog for those who are interested on Internet Addiction and my request to Linden Lab to display a cautionary note mentioning Internet Addiction to the people signing in.

After all this time, this has become just a way to place this on the conversation. This is in a nutshell all I strive for.


Your liberty to read or leave its not denied on this space.


Virtual communities have enormous potential and will be part of many people's life's and work. So we need to take a thoughtful approach towards this. SL has an extraordinary pull and this phenomenon can result in dramatic damage to people who develop an addictive attachment to them.

  1. People joins in with no knowledge of this phenomenon
  2. Awareness of a danger helps reduce its potential harm
  3. Any tool to display this reality, might prevent those who read it

All ideas an opinions are welcome, posts with foul or offensive language might be deleted. Some information and videos might be disturbing for some people please be advised.

Creating awareness through the media


After the Awareness Addiction Group and In-world office failings. I decided I was to use an opportunistic approach and try to send the message through SL Media.

  1. The Pandora's box of SL: The 5 worst worms of the metaverse. Pointed out 5 worse things of SL, having SL Addiction as the worst one.
  2. Postals from Strangeland. Aimed at more thoughtful readers.
  3. The Pregnant Man. Points out to deep down emptiness and stupidity on the platform.
  4. Press release of the JIRA Request. Maybe my last I don't know if The Herald will take my notes anymore.
All trying to bring attention and readers into it. Provocative tone works better in SL than serious and analytic approaches.
