Before we delve into secrets…
• If you hook up with a crazy in SL, it is not our responsibility to help you deal with that. If it becomes a RL issue contact law enforcement.
• Trust no one. If you tell people your laundry they will air it for you.
• Secret submissions are anonymous. We don’t know if your crazy ex or your abuela submitted them.
• Make your secrets legible.
• Do not contact us just to threaten us, especially with e-lawyers. We’ve been doing this for 12+ years. You are not the first nor will you be the last.
• Lastly, if the material submitted here triggers you, please get help. If the materials submitted here make you suicidal please see the suicide hotline numbers posted. They are there to help.
Oh and #3 you’re seriously gross.
What’s with all the hate for the generously proportioned?
ps. Where the fuck is GrammarGal?
I’m here, lurking in the background….amused by the drama and outrage.
#3 While not a medical doctor, I can say with certainty that yeast infections can occur in women at any time; no fucking around required.
Its the nasty STI’s (Sexually Transmitted Infections) like Trichomoniasis etc you *really* have to worry about.
Now, give me a ‘thumbs down’ for no reason whatsoever just because you can LOL.
They will because the majority here are drama kings and queens that are mentally fifteen and still living in teenage years. Other than that, you’d be surprised at how ignorant the youth is these days. No one knows anything any more and common sense/logic is going out the window. it has to be masticated, and regurgitated for them to understand.
#6: Arcade management probably were the one’s that recommended the name change, frankly. Think about it; Arcade content creators have been carefully picked & most, if not all, have been around for a long time. Hideki showed up all of a sudden & after Pupito & Lakua, a.k.a Ionic, left a trail of excuses, threats & insults on the net.
Drax featured them, Arcade handed them a spot. Doesn’t it seem strange & unfortunate that they would endorse excuse-making, content thieves & mediocre trolls?
It is just beyond me that they are still able to pull brands to support them, when it is so clear that all it will take is for one of those brands to say ‘no’ to them one day, like Inka did, and they will raise hell in their brand, grief their sims, make it impossible for people to shop.
The fact that they created a second brand (Hideki) to fool people, have two gachas at TCF and then make their ways into the arcade and flf (Weere they KNEW they were unwelcome) by swearing they had nothing to do with ionic, makes me sick. But yeah, as said this will probably change nothing. They will still be the entitled little bitches they are who are way too caught up in sl, and believe we are all fools that are here to fill their pockets, and unfortunately, in many ways, they prove themselves right
I have noticed that some stores don’t even create in-between these events anymore, their income is derived strictly from the money they make from gacha vending machines, goes to show you what a rip off they are. There are some creators who only create for the Arcade event, it is their bread and butter. Gacha machines are a rip in RL and a rip in SL, don’t support stores that are laughing at you and $L . Gacha translates to gotcha
I keep on with my comments about 2 months back. The fairs were a good idea at first but they are becoming both a conflict for the creator (who now has to do it to earn revenue or else his/her store is unnoticed and no one shops – look at some stores that never are in events). And the shoppers who now need Outlook calendar to plan their visits.
#1 Why worry? fat people will die young anyway.
I’m guessing you a ten years old. But no, probably not. Fat can be solved with a diet and a good fitness routine, some counselling if emotional issues, and relaxation.
Lack of a brain in the other hand can’t be helped. Sorry but you are screwed.
Body shaming is the lazy person’s critique. Body shaming is unproductive, pointless, and ignorant. Everyone has something they don’t like about themselves, and trying to make yourself feel better by shaming others makes you a teeny, tiny, closed-minded individual who has a lot of ignorance to overcome. Try educating yourself first before you judge others THAT YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. #ignorantbitch
LOL start working out lazy fat bitch, save your life, 27 fat people disagree with my comment lmao, just because I am a girl in shape 😛
Eat a bag of dicks.
Pupito really is a little bitch. No talent hanger on. Lakua is the only one with any amount of talent in that relationship. This secret won’t change a thing of course. They’ll still be around, still being trolls.
Ionic; still riding on the coattails of others. Much like the high-ups that helped them with their fast-track to success. You won’t get anywhere in SL without certain people & those people encourage “borrowing” ideas.
Not naming names, but they’re private contractors that work for the lab who attempt to recruit RL artists & musicians, in hopes that their fan base will follow them into SL. This keeps the financial wheels greased & turning. It’s a formula designed to lighten your wallet & purse.
The big events, like Arcade, Collabor88 are run by the contractors, kids. You’re giving your money to the people that “borrow” from lesser-known creators & already work for the lab. People like Ionic are mentored & guided. They were given the fast-track to SL success by insiders.
Show us Ionic’s long, hard climb to success through the years. It doesn’t exist. They showed up, impressed the insiders & was handed the keys, the formula…. & a list of creators & sources to draw “inspiration” from. *coughs*.
Ionic uses other people’s ideas & content. This is review.
Don’t continue to support this scam .
Save your money for something for yourself and your family in real life.
As musicians, Ionic are very talented musicians. I don’t doubt that could carry over into other forms of art. I could believe at least one of them had the time and patience to learn how to model and texture mesh. And as popular SL live musicians, it probably helped get them established a bit as an SL store.
However, yes, I’ve seen drawings on the walls of one of the builds they’ve sold that’s not by their hand. Bit sad to see the artists responsible for those seemingly uncredited either.
You can be good at drawing and terrible at singing. A person is usually artistic in one of the arts, not all. However, some can be artistic in all facets. Look at how some really good singers can’t act, while some like Barbara Streisand are great.
Alright I admit it. In Second Life I am a somewhat famous in certain circles, the decoration/landscaping one. And the club owner one. I do not create nor do I have the time or resources to do so. But, in real world I am a Financial Analyst for a Fortune 500 Company. And sorry Sl does not have the revenue to be able to be harbouring your “Mexican Soap Opera style” training camps of creators. That takes a large network of available agents or contractors that then have to recruit, and a marketing budget beyond your scope. Sl, like much of Rl had to adapt to a time when creators weren’t making as much due to a drop on the economy. You know that real world you keep talking about but apparently can’t seem to analyze except to rationalize your Conspiracy theories. At that time certain creators starting seeing a potential for some funding by doing events that would have items at a much lower price but would have several merchants. Therefore if one guest did not like something, in one store their probability of leaving the place empty handed was slim due to the many creators with objects there. It was a win-win. It create conversion rate, and provided benefits to all merchants. However, and here is the big drawback, the people started to become accustomed to these events. As consumers become lazy and just went to the events, the designers had to continue by economic force to continue on. Then bloggers, and this band started to get into the hype. Now a days there are so many different types of events that even I and I’m good, can not meet up with them. This has nothing to do with Linden Labs and has more to do with free-commerce… Read more »
At 3 am, a Financial Analyst for a Fortune 500 Company posted “nor do I have the time or resources to do so”
And for the record, just because you have to be in bed by nine doesn’t mean everyone is like you. Some of us Financial gurus are nocturnal. It’s based on internal clock. Some people are morning people, some are not people, some can switch on and off. Do some research yourself, you might find yourself gaining some knowledge.
Thanks for the long winded explanation that amounts to breaking your arm, patting yourself on the back
“Don’t question unless you really know me in rl”
Was a statment, not question
“And for the record, just because you have to be in bed by nine doesn’t mean everyone is like you”
And follow your own advice
Actually I’m thinking you tended to act like a troll. Whatever time I wrote my comment it does not mean it’s not valid. And you trying to poke fun at something and cut down the argument by using those snarky comments is immature. The Second Life Merchant Community was struggling for a while, residents were leaving Sl by the hour, stores having to close in slbecause the costs of the lots were too high to the comparison to what they were making, real world was also impacting tremendously. So you have someone somewhere that conceived a 50L Friday style fair where everyone would feature an “exclusive” item for the fair. This at that time was a genius concept. Now in the world of retail, the word “exclusivity” is a selling factor. It works in the subconscious level of a person. People are very jealous, and very ambitious by nature. We want to beat the Jones as they state. This means that if a real world designer creates an exclusive line for H&M like let’s say Lagerfeld did a few years back, or Mussoni for Target, or let me put it even closer this year with Lilly Pultzer with Target; people will go crazy to go the event to have one of the items and show it off. And mind you this is not a US concept this is global (take into consideration that Saudi Arabian Aristocrats wear full Haute Couture collections that are worth half a million or above). What this means is that the same logic and pattern that works in real life works in second life. After all, we might be avatars but behind that we are real people with a lot of our traumas, real life experience, and real life patterns coming to the game. We repeat… Read more »
Yes you doof. Month end closing in a corp that does closing in one day and a half.Books hundreds of reclassifications and had a system glitch where the final week of voyages did not interface from our revenue posting software to Oracle Financials causing us to have a set back of five hours. A set back which caused me to stay working until almost midnight in our office. And guess what? Even though I had worked 14 hours to get things in before noon tomorrow, I couldn’t go to bed! Have you ever heard of being wired up? Jesus. Don’t question unless you really know me in rl. Dumb-ass.
And recruit all over the world. Do you know how many people you have to have under contract?
Are you Prokofy?! Because that’s the kind of paranoid FIC -like stuff she’d spew.
I doubt completely that Linden Lab is that involved anymore. At one point, maybe, that’s where the whole FIC crap came about but in the year 2015 – nope. Ya’ll are lucky Linden Lab even completes a jira issue anymore – one that is relevant.
Arcade and Collabor88 are run by very networked people. That’s just how it is and that’s how they’ve become so big. Like someone noted earlier, the original creator of Collabor88 was also highly networked which means they had a lot of colleagues/friends that had various skills on top of their own which allowed them to create these events. Stop confusing their hard work/ability to network with LL patronage.
I think anybody who thinks linden lab are still engages in SL are likely not even online or haven’t realize how irrelevant they have become themselves.
2005 and 2006 is long gone folks. The creators who do well today are exactly that highly networked, strong at promoting their work and regardless of whether people agree with their talent, they are selling to a dedicated fan base.
This seems a bit like a conspiracy theory to me. I mean, I have seen countless designers work for years and years before making it into these big events. If all of them were just being “trained” from the get go, how would anyone witness them struggle to learn meshing or texturing, etc. Beyond that, the original creator of Collabor88 was the owner of The Sea Hole, Drinkenstein Sorbet, who was a very successful store owner for many years and a real gem of a person. It would be one thing to say the event has changed since she left SL, but to say C88 has been a part of this conspiracy from the beginning is a bit crazy.
I do however think that the owners of Ionic/Hideki are jerks. But tbh not everyone reads plurk and knows their story, so some people get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to allowing them into events.
“You won’t get anywhere in SL without certain people & those people encourage “borrowing” ideas.”
Name names or it didn’t happen.
“Name names or it didn’t happen?” lol It did. It does & if you re-read my post, I do mention the entities which enable the “borrowing” of ideas & the process.
You look at the names & creators in Collab & Arcade. What do they have in common?
or don’t. I don’t think you’ll be able to figure it out. 🙂
‘You look at the names & creators in Collab & Arcade. What do they have in common?’
So I looked, and I couldn’t see much in common? A few things but nothing that makes sense to your post I think?
I see a lot of olderbie creators in there so ones who have been creating 8+ years , do you mean that?
Confused.
Hey, slop for brains – cite specific sources. You’re just wasting people’s time with this bullshit conspiracy theory. Stirring up unnecessary drama when REAL creators like Ionic, Arcade, Collab, etc. are being productive. By the way, some previous virtual-secrets were seeded Mountweazels to see who would catch on. It seems like you’ve taken the bait and you smell like a fish for it. Or should I say, tuna, because it smells like cat food. MEOW.
And I work for Linden Lab but you won’t believe me anyway, so let me quote an Adam Sandler movie (one of my favorite actors): “At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Quoting Adam Sandler makes one appear so much more inteligent
You work for the lab, prove it Deep Slop or it didn’t happen. Oh look out your pants are on fire
LOL Liar
Take some cleansing breaths. Teensy bit touchy, aren’t we? Speaking of wasting time – how much time did you waste responding to a supposedly ” rambling, incoherent, bullshit conspiracy theory?”
Why react at all if it’s irrational? Why did you react with hyperbole & rhetorical overkill?
Too strong of a reaction to a supposedly irrational theory. 🙂
Thank you for proving my point. I see where Ionic learned the ropes.
You still haven’t named names.
Translated: blah blah blah I am making it up as I am likely bitter that I am not in these events.
/r/virtual-secrets
I can’t wait for Grammar Gal’s review of Secret 6.
Well yah, tho more important that the whole secret is the truth, with or without grammar mistakes.
Aside from people who don’t get jokes.
How are Hideki and Iconic the same brand, I thought that was disproven already? Has it now been proven, how and by who?
I remember a secret from a few months back showing Hideki ripping of an artist’s image of a house.
So perhaps it’s the same people with that level of morals.
And I don’t think mentioning Apple Fall is relevant to prove a point.
He barely turns up for any events on time, he is far too special for that and event organizers suck it up every time.
Ever hear of the Farnsworth House, very famous RL house. Replicated in SL sold for 30,000L a pop back in the day. An AV called Lester Clark, supposedly an architect, now I’m not sure, but I’m guessing a REAL architect would know what can and cannot be replicated, moral or not.
The Bartlett House, created by Scope Cleaver was sold for a real life sum of $5,000USD (that’s right five thousand dollars) that’s real life money, a house with no real life value. One could argue the purchaser had more money than sense, but whatever you need to make you feel validated right….. Anyway, I’ve seen replicas of that Bartlett house selling for no more than 800L, so it works both ways. One can replicate a real house or an SL house.
It is ok to replicate, even recall a slebrity writing a song called exactly that, you can find it on flickr. So mentioning Apple Fall is actually a very relevant point when it comes to replicating because he is known for it. No one cares, people want shit replicated and it’s legal move on already.
#5 yeahs. I noticed that too.. doze drama hoze. Got nuffin better to do imo. Love dat drama and get as much as you can. Like cake, all dem mova fuckas be avin it all.
@ Ever heard of those things called condoms? If he fucked you without, he did it before with someone else. Might wanna check what little parting gift he left for you.
@ WHOSE ffs. WHOSE not who’s!
I miss shoe secrets. At least they were entertaining.
Yeah I miss the shoe secrets too BUT when I read today’s it did cross my mind that one of them might be about him!
I now really want to know who number 1 is about?
I get that this is the place for snarky remarks and insults but come on #1… fat? Really?
That’s just bottom of the barrel, even for this site.
LOLs that’s mild for this place, they go as low as posting people RL pics. Body shaming is the norm here, sad but true
