Alora Perse has a good point. There are ways to make $L without "buying" any. I have payment info on file, however, because I'm clever, I've not needed to "buy" Lindens but instead I've "earned" them. Then I've gone to other places and spent them, buying stuff in game and contributing on a larger scale to the SL economy as a whole. Sometimes, it's not about the big fish. Wal-Mart sells 10,000 items that are less than $20 and they're a 125 BILLION dollar corporation. If Wal-Mart decided that you had to have a Platinum credit card to shop there and you couldn't 'window shop', I'm sure that Wal-Mart would fold. You big business types in SL are quick to target the "little guy" but that's only because you're greedy. What business do you run? I'll be sure to not do business with you. @Traken

And about that, my bf (xdarkx Pertwee) has no payment info on file at all. But he pays our SL rent, owns a store,has RL clients he builds for in SL, manages a sim, has made and spent many L's... all with no payment info..so what makes him an unproductive member of SL? @Traken

Im not sayin its a pain in the ass but once again LL isnt the enemy..they have a business to run too and the less L$ being spent in SL the more it effects them Once again if SL fails for what ever reason...LL does! they dont do it on purpose..also Classifieds? I just placed an ad there!?

In short all your missing is 'new' customers...ppl who have nvr heard of you before and even then they would ask about..I actually GAINED new customers as the 'word of mouth' came into its own since search was down. I think the whole 2 million accts is garbage ( sorry LL but it is) no-one cares if the figures arent real. I have 3 alt accts so if we say everyone in SL has one alt acct on avarage then that rounds it back down to 1 million and I think Im being fairly generous in my maths too. I would imagine the real figure hasnt ven hit 1 million yet due to the masses of alts Ive had txtr theifs brag after I ban them " ha! you think this is the only acct?? I have loads!" Even thought about setting Refuse No Payment on the land settings but their are genuin ppl out there who just dont use CCs. I notice LL arent releasing any figures on how many alts there are? I mean I think its a bit crap to announce figures they know not to be accurate but refuse to give us the real % figures.

Free release of any residual ownership rights...just please do it, then we can get on and fix other things that have resident-based solution written all over them. You get this one for free, but I DO begin to see a listing for myself in that SLURL-Book website: "Paragon Solutions, SL Consultants, a L?HHC (Liability?
