UPLOADS ARE NOW CLOSED.
Virtual Secrets must be 600×450 and must be under 2MB.
Please read the Disclosure Policy and Privacy Policy before submitting a Virtual Secret.
Rules that will be maintained by moderator are:
- Secret must be about a topic involving any virtual world.
- No avatar nudity. This means no TITS, ASS, PENIS, OR SEXUAL POSITIONS THAT SHOW THESE PARTS. CENSOR IT OUT. And by censor it out I mean make it so you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable if your abuela looked over your shoulder while reading on Sunday.
- No real life pictures or mentions. Period. I don’t have time to determine, so if it has a RL picture and it’s not obviously a meme image to me then I will toss it. (I can’t believe I have to say this). Keep in mind if something slips past me use the contact form and don’t be a dick or I will take my sweet ass time removing the violating secret. If you use your RL Facebook/Insta/Twitter/What-have-you to post SL stuff then it is fair game. SEPARATE THE TWO. I’m not obligated to know what’s SL and what is reality if you can’t even separate the two!
- BE CREATIVE (JESUS PLEASE BE CREATIVE), stop posting profile screencaps with text. It’s annoying.
- Moderator has the right to not post your secret for ANY REASON THEY DESIRE. PERIOD. Particularly if it is the same, boring, deviled egg. (See Futurama – episode “Roswell that Ends Well”)
- Think carefully before submitting. I’m not removing secrets anymore after a change of heart. PERIOD. Entitled bitches ruined this.
- Don’t bother asking me to ‘keep an eye out’ because you pissed someone off and they might post a secret and you are ‘very fragile emotionally’. I don’t care and I won’t bother.
- If you e-mail me the following rule applies: Emails are only seen Monday through Friday. Anything sent after 3pm EST Friday will not be viewed until Monday after coffee.
NOTE: virtual-secrets uploaded between 7 AM and 7:30AM EST on Sundays will not ever be seen by the universe because that is when “housecleaning” clears the folders. Housecleaning is a Roomba and doesn’t care what is uploaded.
If you get an error see below for troubleshooting tips.
Question: I receive the error ‘Error: Only .jpg images under 1.5 MB are accepted for upload’. How do I go about fixing this?
The Steps to fixing this are as follows:
1. Look at your secret’s filename. It should be secretfilename.jpg. If you use secretfilename.JPG, secretfilename.jpeg, or secretfilename.JPEG it will spit out this error. Please rename the secret to secretfilename.jpg
2. Your file could be over 1.5 MB. To reduce files it’s been suggested to do a File->Save AS in your graphics application and it can reduce the size up to 1/3.
3. If you are in Photoshop you can do a File->Save for Web and change the image type to ‘jpg’ and you can see how reducing file quality effects size and image quality.
