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.

Whats damaging about SL Addiction?

After all this time of going around addiction, healing, re-lapsing and trying to act againts it, a year has already gone by along a few with more months, I also maneged to be fully-away for weeks at a time but some days I connect for many hours.

Please let me express what I consider as the source of damage of SL addiction.

Its about the consequences of using so many hours connected.
That is it.

Its not the evil platform, or brain-washing apocalyptic machine, or anythign wrong with that, its about the consequences that come from being connected excesive hours

I gotta go now, RL meeting.
