MySpace is a whole completely different aspect in its self. You play a role in the huge community by finding other people you are interested in, but it is not a game, you don't play a "fake" role, something you are not. When you are on MySpace you are yourself as in the real world, granted you could/can make fake profiles of something you are not, but this was not the reason it was built and how it is operated.
Hehe you know, HashBrick, I do agree with you, but if you replace the above paragraph with "Second Life", it describes what SL is so well:

See? It makes sense as well Also, I'm pretty sure that Linden Lab, when creating Second Life, was not thinking about having people with fake profiles there. The difference is that there are, indeed, some that have done so (perhaps many), but that was not "intended".
Quoting LL's CEO, Philip "Linden" Rosedale: "I'm always surprised with what people make in Second Life". He's so right. It is being used for totally different purposes than the ones he intended... but he's glad
Suprises in Second Life? Try making your avatar half horse/half human and see what kind of "areas" you get invited to.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
I'm saying this as a warning to all those who want to try it out. There is no real RP here. Second Life is a community of players all interacting in a giant chat room with customizable avatars. Literally. If you are over 18 (dont take this the wrong way but there is too much content rated R) and looking for an alternative to myspace or online dating then give this a shot. Everyone from Goths to Furries are excepted in Second Life. If you can't accept the diversity then please don't go there to verbally attack the community. Tips for enjoying Secondlife 1. Be yourself, not the person sitting at the keys, but the person deep within your inner being. Its possible to be anything in Second Life, be proud of who or what you are. 2. Be tolerant. 3. Be social, friends are easily made by going to dance parties, casino's ect. 4. Under any circumstance dont beg for money. Money in SL is just like Money here in RL. I know thats hard to grasp but after you've been broke for months then you will understand it.
Fucking pervs. Nothing more, nothing less.
If the folks at SL would ROLEPLAY instead of SOCIALIZE, it would be actually an awesome game. As it is, it blows.
So speaks the roleplaying Nazi, and so it is written.
From what I have read it seems that everyone is referring to furries as something bad. Here I will refresh your memories into what they are.
Furrys are people who show interest in anthropomorphic animals. There are furries and "furry fanatics", the latter being the kind that just like drawing/looking at pictures. The former being the ones that actually believe they are animals.
Like all cultures may it be Star Wars, or Star Trek, etc. have the small individual fans who take their fandom and turn it in to the dark sick sexual parts.
The furries involved in SL are all of the above, you have the artists/viewers, the spiritual furs, and then the sexual furs.
You cannot classify the entire furry culture as being abnormal or wrong.
ok people if u need help on getting cash building or just need to know where to get almost anything in this game contact me at my aol instant messenger demonman133 or my yahoo instant messenger which is demonman133 i have played this for about a year now its pretty good ^^
What makes SL unique is that all of it's content is user created. So it's not meant to be a game like you would expect, but people have built games in it along with anything else you could think of.
