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.

Bored, bored, bored - turns Yikes!

Yes, this blog is to help you find a way out of SL, if you find yourself addicted to it, or to learn about it if you are otherwise interested in this topic.

SL Boredom, as you read further, you will find that I call the final stage in a person's SL time the "boredom plateau" or the stage where she finds less and less exciting and intriguing things to do. I am happy to report that I truly found this stage. Perhaps this blog and ideas might be useful to someone else besides me.

Soon, the clubs become one really stupid use of time, emoting. "Yaays", "Yuhuuus", "Hurras" and other "I am having so much fun" gestures its quite annoying, stu$#, overplayed, overacting and in many cases false.

SL business is a total myriad at this point, as well as real educational purposes. I tried it both. I tried all the serious stuff, from visiting Universities, RL clients, and SL Business. While they provided fun and I was trying to crack it, it proved a waste of time and poor business.

Its a game, period I came to realize. LOL how stupid and innocent of me of taking so long to realize it, but I had noticed that people that from the beggining use it as a game are far less prone to addiction than any other groups. The ones that fall the worse are those that treat it like its RL, and worse of all, if they start love attachemenet affairs.

Yikes!
