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.
#19 Scandalous and gossips are bad marketing. Bad marketing is a good marketing. To make yourself popular – just post scandalous comments about yourself. How do marketing people know? Because the comments are cheesy. Sounded like they were made by the same people from the way they write the comments. The likes and the dislike were almost the same.
#19 was written by a timid house mouse. Really, a lot of people who submit “secrets” are timid, that’s why they do it here, anonymously.
#20 was written by you, but you’re just too timid to admit it.
#12: HOURRRRRGLAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 😭 😭 😭 BABY COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKK. Cinnamon and CHAI STINNNKSSSSSSSSSSS.
😰 😭 😢 Why did Siddean waste precious hours developing a crappy body that fits worse than Slink?!?!?! 😖 God daaaammmn!!! YOU HAD THE MARKET IN THE PALM OF YOUR SLINK HANDS AND NOW LOOK AT YOU!! 😖 All that…lost in time, like tears in the rain!
I Toad Ya, I am no Slut !!! Mr. Slimey Player
It’s time for ROC to realize we’re just here for the nostalgia, nothing else. It’s the reason why a myriad of us are showing up every week. It’s not their mangled lore that pulls us, their forced wars and outcomes, or their substandard NPC King. It’s the immersive build that I’d wish they’d just leave us alone to enjoy. It’s unfortunate to see it so tainted by admin meddling, it’s the best most of us have ever seen.
Honestly, it’s insulting to think Goat had anything to do with this. If anything, the more I’m at RoC, the more I miss sims like Reign of Fire, Fire and Blood, and even ROIAF despite it’s ups and downs over the years. If anyone wants to call the ignorants on their bluff and create a better sim, please do. ROC is a good test dummy, it shows the interest is there.
The interest is there by so many of the same players that taint the genre anyhow. And as long as people keep playing in these corrupt machinations that keep coming by the same people in power, they will keep dominating. And players that are there for story, will continue to be screwed over. And the players that follow this corrupt shit show, will continue to get their play time, keep control and you players that aren’t in the main clique, are nothing but background players. Enjoy until you stop playing their game.
25. Ah yes, the dominant high value man that is very successful with women irl but somehow still has plenty of time for subs on sl as well… and uses a gay asf font. Fuck outta here, neckbeard
#4
This is why I support banning little bitches who admin shop and then complain when the ppl they assault try and help 😂 its a good way of rooting out cheaters from communities where ppl want to RP.
The what now?
#12
I sure hope that Maitreya goes the way of the dino eventually. It is not even that great of a body to begin with. Sure it gets a semi-realistic shape but other bodies can do that too now and look better.
Also fuck Ebody Reborn, fuck Kupra, and fuck Squishy Thighs. Every time I see someone in these or using a combo of both its always been gag inducing. Fucking ratchet.
You ok?? 😂😂😂
They like it – they buy it. stop being a fucking asshole
bitch probably has an Alice or Tonic body. LOL
Why do you care so much? Let people wear the body they want to wear and stop getting salty over bodies that others wear
31 What’s wrong with build? That’s some really stupid grammar policing. She’s saying, I assume, (this is) how some of you hoes build, not (this is) how some of you hoes ARE built. There are plenty of grammar mistakes out there if you are intent on playing the Grammar Gestapo, but this isn’t one of them.
#10 I don’t mind him though. Better it openly be an admin than someone with clear admin connections that no one is allowed to acknowledge or someone only in it for the poontang. Which is what we usually get.
#13 I see what you did there.
#17 Richard is such a homewrecker. He stole my old lady and ruined my motorcycle club.
#10 the issue isn’t as much they are an admin. It is they are supposed to be a NPC, but operate as a PC and affect player RP. NPC does not mean PC and that placement is abused and should have been long dead by now.
Richard conned me into buying a vacation property in Maui that was already owned!! That bastard!!! If I ever find him again….. 👺
Carolinacowboy, arieswalker, rexdesoto, calricher, alrenwise and carolinawoodsman are all the same player. 😱
#31 has me HOLLARING lol, i don even know dis bish but she clearly lacks any sort of class. Id love to see wut she look like in RL, she prolly no prize pig herself
she is actually really pretty rl whoever put her on here just a hater
#2 God please no.
#5 Shit, yeah must be nice for sure.
#16 Then don’t buy it, plain and simple. Sorry that it’s not what YOU want but I’m sure someone somewhere likes the product.
The rest were either the same posts bitching about the same tired RP dramas, TLDR or too tiny to read.
#16 was praising the creator
#16 This an ugly item how is it praising the designer? No one wants al of these items attached to her leg. Looks like a tomb raider copy.
#16 This is an AD if I ever saw one. Also it’s ugly, I will not consoom product.
Hmm…

Since this weeks secrets were few and far between, I’ll leave this here.
This is profoundly weak tea.
Third time is the charm for posting this, FFS. imgur. com /a/ IpmMnkd
Are you the person who’s been whining that their “secret” hasn’t been approved for weeks now, and this is the thing you’ve been pissing yourself with excitement to post? Because I can see why it wouldn’t be approved, now. It’s incredibly weak and reeks of jealousy.

Harlow is an absolute fkn joke. She has always been a fucking joke with her relationships and her cucked husband and she will always be a joke with any new project she takes on or any new “Daddy” she owns. Why can’t the dumb bitch just be content that she has a handsome husband and a decent job caring for animals and just roll with that shit?
#30
How can anyone spend your linden unless you give it to them? 🙄
#25- SL D/s is a toxic cess pool of men who hate women and have serious mommy issues and people of every gender who desperately need therapy to sort out why they seek out abuse and control. The communities are full of Doms who aren’t dominants at all, but instead live out their control issue fantasies and openly neglect and abuse their submissives and submissives who collar hop and bed hop like it’s a game. RL D/s can also be toxic as hell if you aren’t carefully screening your options and communicating with other submissives to keep a clear list of who the ‘bad’ ones are in the group.
In the real world, it’s a power exchange not a power grab. SL forgets that.
Years as a RL lifestyle person and years as a kink educator have given me the sense to avoid the SL scene altogether.
Dominant men are out there hustlin’, any “Dom” on SL is per se the opposite of masculine, that’s why the hoes collarhop, takes them a week or two till they realize they have more testosterone than the guy so they seek out the next loser with a leashholder lol
Bingo. An actual dominant male doesn’t need to advertise it, or dress like a latex vampire clown.
12. Why are female avatars always starting a fuss over Maitreya? It’s weird as hell to be bothered over a body this much.
#24 Yes yes Seniha is another of the stores that copy from others. So what? Who doesn’t? The bad thing with Seniha is that when another store copied from her, then she didn’t like it. Had a bit of her own medicine and started a whole war. No girl you don’t get to copy and then play the victim yourself. If you do it first, how do you expect others not to? Just a reminder to our fellow creators and designers. Just because you see a photo on pinterest first does NOT make that design yours and exclusive to your brand. You can -ONLY- claim rights to the design if it is YOUR original concept.
#34 that’s the majority of these decorators on sl. Charging 20k for bullshit like that. lol
Never worked or even looked at shit with a SL ‘decorator’ but it says 20k PRIM FULL SIM not 20k lindens. They also said it was done in 3 days — and with how it was phrased, I assume all the items were freely rezzed out as part of the designing and the person didn’t have to pay for anything.
20k lindens is also something like 78 dollars so idk, not something I would ever do but that’s not exactly super expensive.
a whole sim and all those houses in three days, must look like shit tbh
#4 I forgot Epiphany existed. LOL
#7 Great business strategy to lose customers.
“
#12 Slink and Belleza have lost popularity partly because the makers lost interest in them. Belleza’s last update was Fall 2021, and their bodies have been 50% off since then. That’s definitely a sign that nothing further will be done with them. Slink’s maker put focus on creating the Cinnamon & Chai body with a new UV mapping. I think that body is less popular than Signature’s Alice, lol.
Maitreya still receives a lot of support from designers. The grim reaper isn’t coming any time soon.
#16 I agree!
#20 & #24 People complain. Nothing changes. Except Scandalize’s owner changed her avatar’s name again, lol.
#23 I’ve seen stuff at the Skin Fair be put on a weekend sale right after the event ended. There is a reason why designers do this. The strategy is called “Loss Leader Pricing”. An item is priced low in hopes it generates traffic and new customers to the store. There they may purchase regular priced items. Weekend sales, and giving away gifts, wouldn’t be so popular among designers if they were losing money from doing it.
#33 Coming from a former blogger, LOL!
I had my ’20 minutes’ with #29/#30. I can say what this person posted #29/#30 is 100% absolutely telling the truth (although I didn’t last long enough to give him any Lindens thank goodness). But he’s very glib, smooth operator who will use every trick in the book to butter you up. The first day we hung out it was kinda sweet. But after the 2nd and 3rd day I started to get the idea this guy was a player but figured I’d try not to read TOO much into it.
When he didn’t get what he wanted from me he dropped/blocked me as a friend. Quite frankly, it made me upset for about 5 seconds then I realized I was lucky to not be tangled up with this POS.
#2 God no why.
#3 Maybe if they trusted the players to be more independent with their stories, they wouldn’t be too overworked to keep up with who gave permission for what.
#6 Excuse you she just goes to another school.
#10 True, but you know it will get much worse when he’s replaced. Bland king who never leaves his quarters and only plays with a small inner circle here we come. Again.
#12 Oh no.
#13 She’s inimical to the genre, I’m afraid.
#15 Oh dear. That would explain some things.
#17 I see you, Richard.
#26 If you think the stats aren’t just opaque enough to keep anyone from ever having a chance at real moves, you aren’t paying attention. Playing dice rolls with a GoT admin is like a board game with a small child who keeps changing the rules.
#27. If they had actual smallfolk, they couldn’t use them as puppets to progress their story, silly. It’s de rigueur to have the unwashed masses rise up in defense of the admin’s preferred story.
#? Where are the juicy logs we were promised last week? My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
#10 Lets be real. No player king will ever live up to the expectations of the community. It’s a role that should not exist and yet the genre falls apart without it.
#13 It’s absolutely hilarious they had to put picks in their profile cause they know they are so despised within the community. No one has Forgotten.
#15 You can always pick her alts out pretty easily. She pretty much does the same thing every time. Is she actually involved in running the sim too? Awful as she can be I would have expected better lore if she was involved.
All those restrictive, Inimical rules aren’t to be Forgotten!
Staff cannot trust players to play.. they might actually out manuever them and take their places of power! What would they do if they had to play on an even player field and it was dependent on their actual RP.
Makes you wonder who that rising King is really. More of the same.
And YES YES YES, they change the rolls and rules to suit their plans and friends in MID play!
#15, she’s not involved in staff AFAIK. She’s building a Star Wars sim on the old ROIAF land that’s probably never going to open just like the DND sim she was making that never opened when Waterdeep and Orius were popular.
Oh she is involved.
#15, she’s not involved in staff AFAIK. She’s building a Star Wars sim on the old ROIAF land that’s probably never going to open just like the DND sim she was making that never opened when Waterdeep and Orius were popular.
Yeah I have a policy of trying to avoid people have a profile AND picks full of angry rants. ⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️ Much less give them positions of power in rp.
#25- Frankly, a lot of doms are wannabe rapists (sometimes they step up into actual rapists, but that’s beside the point) and think that bdsm is a good way to get what they want quick and easy. They’re exactly like this IRL too. It’s disgusting and disturbing to see how many of them are around.
#26- Idk who this is talking about, but yeah generally people who are very technically talented make for horrible creatives, and vice versa. This is why y’all gotta team up with other people and not try to brute force your way through everything yourself.
Tell us without telling us, that you have no idea what you’re spouting off about.
Tell us without telling us, you have no reading comprehension
Why are we not praising #17 more? Richard, I hope one day you see your name shining brightly on Virtual Secrets.
#RichardForPresident
Richard knocked me and my grandma up, stole my car and gave me virtual herpes. Ain’t seen him since.
Richard, I thought I was the only one. Now what will I do with this Zooby?
19- when are people going to learn that she is nothing but a bully that likes to make others feel unworthy. She loves her lists of shame & passive aggressively calling people out & the private channels have alot more lists. You paid her money though so she can do what ever to you.
#16 Why I think this is a self advertising from Promagic? Idk but you can’t convince me otherwise. Looks so funny. Seems like she is trying to promote herself and brand 😝
Your name should be vinegar.
Sometimes people just have something nice to say. Promagic gets a lot of coverage on flickr, Facebook, blogs, etc. I don’t think they need to use this site to promote themselves.
I’m not saying it is, but #1 could be someone trying to promote a brand. Yes, it’s negative, but it’s not showing an ugly picture. Everyone who has responded to the post has been in support of the designer.
I know the person who posted this, I encouraged her to write it as we were standing in front of the item at Anthem. Just because something POSITIVE shows up here doesn’t mean it’s a self-promotion. I’m sure some people do that, but not all. We legitimately appreciated this item.
Lol you know the person who wrote this? You encourage her to write it but why you didn’t write it by yourself ? Sounds even more suspicious now 🤨 I
except when the friend is the one who said it and I just suggested she put it on on vs. I’m not out here stealing the words of my bestie. thanks for playing though 😘
#21 Oh Nina, everyone gonna know it was you who posted it as the language of the profiletabs is german. Could have just signed it with your name then. But hey, thanks for telling the world tho. I didn’t expect that. I knew Denis and Hakiem were the same person, coz that was just too obvious…but Dominic? Damn! Kinda makes sense tho…
Funny thing… Nina and Korey were making pics and had partner recently. Looks like things are not good for her so she is tryin’ to spread her shit all over , it seems
#11 LMAO! Love it. Great post!
11. Atleast there’s no smell in Secondlife. 😁
oh thank goodness.
the smell of the high ghetto Kupra Kows would be deadly
#4 What’s Epiphany? Can someone solve this question please? Another brand or event? Never heard of it. What are they accused for? I can see a post from Scandalize owner and a person commenting under it but don’t get the whole idea. They ask her to join but they talk in bad terms for her? That’s the issue ? I know scandalize is a copycat. But so as so many other stores in SL. And some people act like they don’t see it. I mean Seniha is a copycat too but she is licking asses so yeah they shut up for her. SL world is full of cliches. They think that we don’t know of it? Please we are not that dump. Trend originals is another copycat too and I have heard tones for her brand. But events still support her why?
Epiphany used to be a major gacha event. They had a pretty cool set up where you could turn in the items you didn’t want for points that could go toward exclusive items. Years ago they had some of the top brands in SL, but it started sinking before the gacha ban came along.
#4 So true! There was a DMCA for Trend originals in the last weeks secrets. Why they allow her still to take part in events? I don’t get how the SL community is so fakish. Pretending they don’t like one person but supports another thief.
#24 Seniha yeah also she is a well known copycat. I have seen many of her items are copies of other brands and like you said she get away with this by kissing asses. You have to be a good sucker to go up in Sl world. We all are aware how the system works.
#16 I find the shorts mediocre . Is just me? Nothing wow about this.
#1 c’mon Tutti Belli is one of the best make up brands out there.
#4 I don’t even go to Epiphany anymore. I thought it is closed already. I’ve heard many designers in the past complaining about it and how toxic the owner is. Licking Scandalizes ass behind scenes and act like they don’t like her in public is a complete hypocrisy. I would say get your shit together Epiphany team. Arcade at least found a way to make it work.
#20: Scandalize ok! We know she is doing it for years. But they only talk about her when Bumblebee is in big events like Access, and they are literally copying everything Addams does. Addams can’t see what’s going on ? They are even copy their ads style. I was thinking they are the same store!
Bumblebbe doesn’t copy Addams, because Bumblebee IS another brand of Addams owner lol.
Well, Addams has certainly decided not to carry over their customer support from the main to their “knockoff” store, if this is the case. It’s a complete waste of time to contact Bumblebee owner/management; they don’t respond for details or clarification and their “solutions” indicate total lack of English comprehension.
lol bumblbee is addams second brand. it´s confirmed, their store is even on the addams sim..
Exactly. Is funny, how people think they copy ‘poor’ Addams, when is just another brand of them, created for earning double money on basicaly same items…
Holy shot! That’s insane!!
11- Maybe if you wasn’t stalking cams being a total creep, you wouldn’t witness other people exploring their many fetishes. Yeah it’s still gross, but so are you 😂
I’ve never played Game of Thrones because there’s too many rules and to call it low fantasy is a joke. This newest sim is the worst of them all it seems. I would be ashamed of myself for creating so much upset in such short time.
really agree with the last part, hasn’t been a breath’s worth of time before it was lit up with complaints, i’d either make good change quick or close it all together
It’s Tricky’s own fault for not updating the body except for one token update in 2021. Nobody wants to use old tech. Nobody is going to pay thousands of linden dollars to a creator who has basically abandoned the bodies they created. And dream on about Maitreya. #nothappening
I’m actually surprised it hasn’t gone back up in popularity since the most recent patch and the sale. I picked up the fatpack of bodies and would totally use Isis if anyone made clothes for it. Freya is way too thick for me, but the mod version where you can reduce the lag-inducing features yourself is awesome.
Freya is on sale for 1250L right now. It also has been updated for BOM.They updated the developer mesh kit so it is easier to create mesh for now. So don’t spread misinformation. Freya is the best curvy body out there! #ILOVEMYCANKLES! ♥ Sorry you are a hater hating on the fuller figures. Perhaps you should eat a cookie? 🙂
12 – As unfortunate as it is that Freya has so little support, those others are overdue a slashing. Creators are finally starting to feel less obligated to make things for Maitreya if they don’t want to as its popularity slips, and they never should have been required to or face the angry backlash of basics.
23- That’s not even true, a lot of the time weekend sale items don’t even have the most recent bodies a creator is supporting, they choose such old releases(totally fair, the sales are cheap as fuck). You’ll probably get the item on sale eventually, but it’ll be a lot longer than a week after the event or release. It’ll be months from most stores; the only time you’ll see otherwise is creators that have very few releases at all to choose from, and yes those people are shooting themselves in the foot.
Maitreya’s popularity has slipped? In what universe? I’ve seen exactly one store that has gone to a Legacy only business model. No stores are creating solely for Kupra or Reborn. The other bodies are pretty much irrelevant.
I didn’t say it was gone. I swear, people on this site have the reading comprehension of 2nd graders, at best. How many stores are doing Maitreya exclusives anymore? Certainly no significant creators, and it’s incredibly rare even with small ones. That’s a slip in popularity.
Also, you’re wrong about there being no Kupra only creators- you wouldn’t want to wear the things they make, because it’s usually the worst quality, ugliest bimbo gear you can imagine, but they definitely exist.
#23 oh that’s so true. You ar me so wrong. It’s a common secret 🤫 that we wait for them to put them in weekend sales and buy them. That’s how stupid they are lols
You should really learn to read. I never said they don’t go on sale. I said they don’t go on sale the next week after they are released.
#23 why does it even changes anything? Agrees with Sugar. We all know we will get them in a better price sooner or later. If not the next week then maybe the week after that. Who cares. As long as they are making sales we gain. I have stopped paying 300 l for a dress when I know I will get it 60 l eventually.
It matters because that’s what OP said in their post, and that’s what I responded to in my comment; both of your responses are pointless, just repeating what I said but to argue because you’re not smart enough to comprehend what you read.
Also, if you and anyone else doesn’t think the creators are aware there are cheap bitches like you out there who will wait, you are really the stupid ones.
#28 This bitch is the worst of the fucking worst. Fuck her. Fuck her shitty brand. Fuck everything about this disgusting asshole.
I was friends with Millie three years ago. She has issues. She hates anyone that’s pretty or has talent. She ends up stabbing most women in the back for zero reason other than her own insecurities.
Have you SEEN the upvotes these comments get? NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE, MILLIE.
Totally agree! The SL trash loves her stuff though.
Which is her brand ?
Yeah. Trashy people tend to attract other trashy people.
32.
It was funny a couple of weeks ago but now it’s just annoying. That’s literally every furry head on SL.
#12 Maitreya is approximately 65% – 70% of clothing sales (Legacy is a distant second at 15% – 20%). Only about 10% of customers wants to look like a ghetto welfare whale (Kupra, Reborn).
I have a slender built Reborn body and have been mistaken for legacy quite a bit. It’s 100% possible to get really great shapes out of it, have a hud that works, and extremely low complexity. 2,430 complexity is great, I have clothes heavier than that.
https://gyazo.com/a93f45aa1942c6e384e7f2122fe6b7f4
Just because you don’t like how someone looks doesn’t mean you should be rude about it.
We can discuss how we like one body without degrading users who prefer others, though. Could you be more racist and classist? (No, this is not a challenge. Stop. Get some help.)
the only reasons I’ve seen people stick with maitreya is because they are too poor to afford legacy or a good computer, or they’re age players/furries
I have a lot of friends who still rock maitreya and look good. Some use deformers, some work some kinda magic. They haven’t switched to Legacy for a lot of reasons such as the hud being a lag fest. I’ve gotten a few to consider ReBorn just because they see me being slender with it. I do not have a huge butt or thighs but a more… normalish build. It’s got curves, you can’t take those away but it’s a super flexible body that I wish more would give the chance. I came from Legacy and that damn hud sometimes made me want to scream because all I’d need to do is alpha something or change my nail polish and the damn thing takes 100 years to load.
I actually have two excellent computers, and I also own Legacy. I am neither an age player, or a furry. I wear Maitreya for the most part, because a lot of the older clothing that I love isn’t Legacy-compatible, for one. Secondly, even on my computers, the HUD for Legacy lags. I love Legacy to death, but it gets to be a real pain in the ass switching back and forth all the time.
As a furry, we moved on to Legacy. Also, let’s not classify us who play as a humanoid animal with the age players. Thanks.
OK groomer
What is it with the mediocre humans who want to dilute the meaning of an expression with a specific meaning?
Yeah I’m sure your customers would love to know that you’re on here calling them “ghetto welfare whales.”
You couldn’t just state your stats without the ignorant small minded extra shit?
truth hurts?
God no! It’s Virtual-Secrets ffs! The main idea of V-S is to piss people off so bad they blow a vessel in their brain. What fun would that be to just be civil?!?!?!!! 😛
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And we all know that the Kupra/Reborn huge butt fans are here voting down anything that pokes fun at their cartoonish bodies. I’d rather be small-minded than have an ass that has its own gravity.
M.O.sure, you know everything about the market with Kupra and Reborn are included with a butt and breast
Last survey I seen, Maitreya 16%, Legacy 32%, Reborn 39% and Kupra 12%
Someone over in the SL community forums has a bot that runs around counting the bodies and heads used in sims and has done so for several years. Maitreya still has the largest market share, and that is NOT a survey.
I don’t go by surveys, I go by telemetry data. Surveys are not scientific or accurate. They might show where people are more enthusiastic (in your case) about a specific brand because they are highly motivated to return a survey if they think their personal brand will get more exposure. Hard data however is usually much different from what the overly loud minority will want you to think.
Maitreya had between 50%-60% about a year ago, which was before Reborn even came out. There’s no way it’s up at 70% now lmao. Where is your data from?
I’ll continue to stick with Maitreya until a body comes out that isn’t made for huge asses and boobs and looks disproportionate no matter how you try to edit it. Not everyone wants to follow the trend of having a bottom half of their body look like a chicken leg and their boobs like balloons.
Reborn and Legacy are both pretty versatile, anyone saying otherwise has no idea how to make shapes. I’ve seen very petite looking avas with Reborn as well, they do include a deformer to make the butt smaller.
That’s it in a nutshell. I wouldn’t mind having a plumper body, but I like things proportionate. Kupra and Reborn are so disproportionate that they’re cartoonish. I’ve tinkered with both to see how small those asses can go, and they just don’t go small. I also don’t like torpedo tits. Reborn pisses me off because of the fingers too. Ever see a fat woman with skinny, long fingers? I’m a plus-size person in RL and my ass, tits, and fingers are nothing like what’s done with Kupra and Reborn.
I wish Maitreya would put some effort into doing a plus size model like they did for the petites and flat chests (and fix the shoulders). For all we know they might be, but they’re very quiet right now.
Since I have a feeling you don’t understand this, I’m gonna point out that if Maitreya ever does fix those busted shoulders, every dress, top, and jacket you’ve ever bought for it will no longer fit properly. 👍
Rebork is trash. Y’all need to wake up.
Maitreya is trash. Ya’ll need to move on. 🤪
From my own telemetry scripts which tells me what body type was opened vs what was worn.
Your personal sales definitely don’t reflect SL as a whole. Your clothing might not look good on those bodies, which is why they aren’t buying it.
The numbers are exceedingly similar demo vs sold (opened or worn) units. Reborn has a lot of momentum right now. More than any other brand and I do expect Reborn to pass Kupra for 3rd place no later than end of this year.
What’s your store name? 🙂
Hey, to be fair, there’s plenty of room to keep years old statistics in that crevasse Maitreya calls an ass crack.

Question: With what is going to happen to the Americans soon, will it take down SL or not?
don’t get me wrong, I hope it doesn’t, but most of the users are from US and it’s not going to be too much longer before what is going on significantly effects the majority population… can SL stand without the $$ the Americans dump in?
Just curious what others are thinking about this. It’s the first time legitimately for me since I have been in here, 10+ years, that I’ve thought there is legitimate threat to it ending for good.
Could someone fill me in on whats so drastic in the US that its going to take down SL?? Signed, Curious American.
Are u dumb? If there was something going on in America that would impact SL, nobody would have SL because Linden is based in America.
👀
clearly he knows something we Americans don’t…. I hope my FBI agent is watching right now…
This has nothing to do with FBI lol have you heard of the term “stagflation” before..? It’s what the US is going through right now… actually, just at the beginning stages of it.
I saw a post today, an American bought two burgers, two fries, two drinks, from 5 guys burgers and fries… $44.
Scale that back, look at your grocery bill, gas bill, rent/mortgage, taxes, medical expenses, various living expenses…. There is no plan to stop it, reverse it, etc, and the wage increases are not keeping up. You have families scrambling for baby formula, and I hear today to expect tampon shortages as well. Even your own President has said to expect harder times ahead, that it will get much worse before it gets better…..
Maybe you haven’t heard any of that; it appears your FBI agent is clueless as to current events in your own country. I’m not American, I keep track of what happens in your country, China, UK, Australia, Middle East and Canada. None of it looks good for any of them; but Canada and UK do not carry SL, Americans do.
That’s why I am curious what people think is going to happen, after this winter… will SL survive? Or will it go down, just like 5 guys burgers and fries will, because it’s not sustainable at that cost to the average person?
Um… yeah. 5 guys is hella expensive. I ate there 10 years ago, got that exact order and it was 30 something bucks.
Canned and frozen veggies/meat can be cheap. You can also get fresh stuff on sale and freeze what can be frozen. I could easily feed 3 people on $50 a week.
A lot of places are offering higher wages than minimum, my monthly utilities and rent haven’t gone up, gas is higher but that just means I drive less and am more conservative which isn’t a problem, I don’t have health insurance (YAY! sarcasm) so my medical expenses is just when I get too sick to exist, and then go to the ER and they pat me on the head and send me home and then charge me $20,000 that I’ll never pay, and that’s never changed.
What do you mean what’s going to happen to the Americans? Why would anything take sl down?
The impending economic collapse could do it . The US is in a recession now, and there’s a distinct possibility of a full blown depression.
Do you not pay attention to the news, markets, world news, etc? You think it’s just the gas that is going to go up in price or..?
Unless you think the majority of Americans can afford to pay for the upcoming lifestyle changes that will be coming (food shortages, gas shortages, medical shortages, etc) and continue paying and playing as they have been on this platform, or any platform really, I am curious to know how you think they can do that.
I will say this change is going to effect every country on different levels (Africa and Middle East are worst off; they rely heavily on grain from Ukraine that will not be grown/delivered now, the official growing season has began and nothing is growing so….). But I am speaking of Americans specifically because Americans are the ones that carry this platform, specifically, as far as engagement and spending goes.
It seems as though most people haven’t even thought about any of this at all; curious considering this platform seems to mean a lot to them… but if they’re not even aware of all of this going on, then I guess it maybe makes sense… not paying attention to either life 🤷♀️
If predictions come to fruition and food, medical and necessities of life are in short supply… who the fuck cares about SL? lol
Huh? What’s going on? Which Americans are you referring to?
I get that she’s on shared internet, but she’s ignoring some of the same posts that have been posted for the past 3 weeks now. It’s frustrating to try to submit to this site if your secret doesn’t even go through. :/
If it’s happened more than one week in a row, you’re either breaking the very few rules they have, or your secret is shit. Quit whining, do better and it’ll get posted.
And who are you to say whose secret is shit or not? And I don’t see rules posted anywhere.
Really? You didn’t see this list? Was your picture the correct size?
https://virtual-secrets.com/upload/
They are on the upload page, plain as day, or did you not look at that? I didn’t say it was shit, I said it’s either or. If it’s not a shit secret, then it breaks one or more of the few rules on that page.
If it weren’t for the RP sims gossip, there would be maybe 5 secrets a week.
#1: Ugly in what universe? Are you one of those flabby lipped, cross-eyed shelf-butt avatars with glommed on mascara and your cooch hanging out in your pics? You wouldn’t know pretty if it bit that cooch.
#4: I don’t go to Epiphany any more since it’s just another bloated event. At least The Arcade found a workaround to stay semi-relevant. It’s not hard to get the rares I want now; it just takes patience.
#12: Ain’t gonna happen. People who wear Maitreya are NEVER going to wear Kupra or Reborn because we don’t want butts the size of small Deathstars.
#20: Scandalize uses templates too, or at least they used to do so. I haven’t set foot in that store for over 6 months, so I’m not sure if they still do. But if you’re going to discuss copycats, don’t forget Bumblebee. They’re literally copying everything Addams does, right down to the ad style.
why are you so obsessed with bigger girls on here LOL everytime i see your comment its something about how ugly big girls look, even using #1 as an excuse to shit on how others look in a virtual game/platform/dot exe and you didn’t even know who posted it, you’re such a fan of them that even your name is big girl hatred. ah well, i always used to say SL is a petri dish for vanity. xD
Dude, everyone has their schtick here. My opinion should be irrelevant to you, just as yours is irrelevant to me. It’s more fun pissing off Kupra/Reborn fans than the incessant talk about RP sims.
The thing is, most of these girls don’t look plus size or big, they look more like busted cans of biscuit dough with their massive asses and boobs and tiny everything else. The proportions are so off. If a shape makes my child go wtf is that, There is probably something wrong with it. I’m all for plus size avies and when I see one done right and actually plus size it’s freaking awesome.
why tf are you letting your kid look at SL!? 👻
Reborn can get pretty tiny, if you know how to properly make shapes. I’ve seen a lot of people leave Maitreya for Reborn.
Thank you. Everyone bitches about reborn like it’s only confined to one permanent proportion. I mistake my gf’s reborn body for legacy all the damn time because She knows how to make a proportionate shape. Reborn’s ass can literally be sized down to almost pancake flat if you dedicate a little time and effort into sculpting the shape. Not sure why people don’t get this.
I’ve had someone DM me before to compliment my “legacy shape” and bitched about Reborn, when I was actually wearing Reborn. It was quite awkward. 😂
True, and every time Legacy goes on sale, more of those “loyal” Maitreya users defect because they can get it cheaper… which makes it very clear what the issue was all along lol
I’ve got Legacy. I quit using it because it’s a system resource hog, and I absolutely DESPISE their HUD with its separate network connection. The Mesh Project can go eff itself with that nonsense.
True! New players tend to go Maitreya because it’s the cheaper option, not necessarily because it’s the better body.
100% because it’s the cheapest and has the most available freebies, but watch out speaking that kinda truth; the busted booty linebacker patrol gets massively defensive.
Funny that people are dogging me for running down the balloon animal bodies, and here you are running down Maitreya butts. It takes all kinds.
Difference being yours is a purely personal complaint… you don’t like big asses, so this is a hard time in history for you to live, I guess… which no one is really responding to at all, least of all people who use those bodies. Mine is an observation about how factually deficient the Maitreya mesh is. There’s absolutely nothing you can do, regardless of deformers or shaping “expertise”, to make that lump into anything that appears natural and human from every angle. Maitreya users depend on skin detailing to differentiate their “ass” from their thigh, and even skin creators have a hard time. That crease shadow rarely lines up where it should be, and even if it looks like it is when the wearer is standing up perfectly straight, it smears down the back of their thigh when they move. Their best option is staying very slim with that area fairly flat, so the crappy mesh doesn’t turn jagged and pointy from being stretched beyond its optimal size. Anyone who thinks they have a good “thicc” Maitreya is delusional; it doesn’t exist, and if they give themselves a thorough 360 degree looking over they’ll see it, no matter how much they deny it. That’s before I even get started on those shapeless shoulders and tube arms that end in the ugliest wrists in SL- shit looks like the chewed end of a straw. I didn’t even touch on how the torso is just as featureless as the arms- no tummy/muscle shape, barely even a spine indentation- also depending on skin creators for any type of detail. It’s a bargain body for those who lack aesthetic standards. “Low polygon” is not worth that much sacrifice. Arguing its popularity is a pointless logical fallacy. Cheap has always been popular, but that’s never… Read more »
#12 lol yeah but your man does. 😆
Actually my man doesn’t because he’s not in SL, but nice try.
Anyone with brains knows not to get into relationships in SL (just look at these secrets) unless you’re just looking for a quick bang, and I outgrew that nonsense over 10 years ago. I know people who’ve gone through multiple partners in SL in just the first 6 months of the year. Being the town bicycle isn’t my jam.
spoken like a prime specimen of trash 👏
be mad but its true. ive got almost all trending bodies except reborn and the most times I’ve ever gotten ims was on a kupra, clothed and all. ontop of that i’ll look and sometimes they’ll be partnered too.. so… 😬
Kinda gross that you think this is something to brag about.
There’s a good chance if they’re messaging you, they’re messaging every other woman in the room.
So you’re saying being hit on by random fuckbois is a GOOD THING? I mean, if that’s how you want to live your SL, knock yourself out, but random fuckbois are NOT my jam. If Maitreya keeps those losers away, it’s a win for me.
It takes a sad, bitter cunt to attack the women being hit on instead of the men being disloyal; I wouldn’t give it a second thought.
truth. teheres a large amount of sl men who have thin mesh maitreya/legacy bodies partners but will tip the curvy girls in strip clubs or IM them… so when they insult bigger girls and their own men are dogging after them…… 😛 karma to be honest!
Big freaking yawn.
1 – were you looking in the mirror when you submitted this?
5 – the definition of salty af. don’t gatekeep other people’s ingenuity, popularity, and success.
10 – why make us look at that buffoon? and we can’t see a single word of that profile or who it is. good job.
11 – that’s what you get for camming into private spaces.
16 – amen
25 – this. very much this. keep your hands to yourself, in all aspects of sl & rl, unless you have established consent. especially if you’re a complete stranger to the person.
28 – I do enjoy seeing all the posts dragging millie and showing her true colors. please continue.
31 – LOL it’s cute that dudes think they’re any better.
32 – didnt we see this 2-3 weeks ago? the joke is old af and no one is laughing anymore. move on.
33 – pure laziness
3, 9, 13, 15, 18, 26, 27 – are these ALL the same fucking subject?!
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s ‘the definition of salty af’ but it’s certainly annoying, obnoxious, and frustratingly unfair. Annoying and obnoxious because it’s a big deal to not only have the ability to transition, but to have people with big name stores throw an event for you to raise money for your transition, and then you make a gofundme because “having more rounds would be difficult” like.. For the fact that you had ANY rounds or an event is nepotism or a nepotistic situation. Then making a gofundme which will most likely gain it’s goal because of the popularity of it all, like the event wasn’t enough money so now they’re “humbly” requesting more money via gofundme. I agree with the OP of #5, it’s not fair or right.
That’s the thing though… clearly they didn’t have the money themselves, and they just happen to know the right person (or a person who knows the right person). I have definitely had my moments of “why not me” jealousy. If I felt that I desperately needed something, I would be doing all of the fundraising options I had available to me as well. I just can’t see faulting the person for going after their dream.
Also, I checked out their gofundme and it has only a fraction of the goal… so there’s that.
Yes, 3, 9, 13, 15, 18, 26, and 27 are all about the same sim. 😂 Someone is BIG MAD. So is 10!
Calling someone out for using their creator friends / contacts / mutuals to have an event that not only makes you as a creator look woke and helpful to the trans community (though it’s just one person) and then adding a go fund me ontop of it is not being salty lmao it’s being true.
Why not have an event for a place that provides money / grants for those who want to transition instead of one person who has accumulated enough money for the operation they need.
I guess what I’m getting at with my comment is the last bit, yeah, Plus the Op-og post something about it just doesn’t sit right with me, like how it’s worded.
Tutti Belli is one of the nicest make up designers in SL. Whoever posted #1 can’t make a brush stroke in Photoshop, so shut the hell up.
#20 It’s spelt Scandalize!
WHO FUCKING CARES! No one. That’s who. Oh I’m sorry. YOU apparently care. Welcome to the party of one.
I would like the list of stores this thief is also a part of. I would assume that a few of them are in Secret #24?
‘spelled’
Spelt is a type of grain that is related to wheat, barley and rye. So I think what you meant to say here, as you were correcting someone lol, was … “It’s spelled Scandalize”
You can use spelled or spelt, you remedial incel. But scandalize is still trash. 😆
“Remedial Incel”–that’s epic. I’m going to steal that if you don’t mind. 😉
Lol
You both could have Googled that and spared yourself the embarrassment of being the typical American who doesn’t know any other languages, even English in other countries.
I tend to like using “degenerate fuckwit” for my insults. I have a British friend who came up with that one. Some of us Americans are literate and worldly wise, even if we sometimes suck at typing.
Bravo! So true and so many Americans are truly too lazy and stupid to even use Google. And to learn a second language?? Never!! They don’t even know American English ffs! It’s no wonder why we are in the biggest shitfuckery of our lives here.
#12
Someone seems to live under a rock. I actually thought so to but then, since firestorm released their viewer with a prominent way to actually see what’s lagging you, more and more people dropping their legacy’s and happily wearing their Maitreyas again. I just noticed it that more and more bloggers on Twitter etc. We’re talking about it or mentioned Maitreya in their posts again, when they before were mostly wearing Legacy.
And what killed the SLink and Belleza bodies? Well some greed with their pricing for feet and hands and totally no support and updates. And really SLink is the most hideous body on the grid …human proportions?!, comes in even before Kupra that at least doesn’t even tries to claim to be realistic.
It’s untrue, tons of people leave maitreya for Reborn and Kupra, and you will see more and more to switch, wth, if you watch Flickr you see more and more users with Reborn or Kupra and Maitreya some old owners
Ain’t happening. See the post further up the page with stats.
Aww all the Kupra down votes 😀
only boomers, furries, and anime avatars wear maitreya
You’ll take my reasonably proportioned body out of my cold dead hands.
Yeah. None of those. Here, lemme tell you why I use Maitreya on my adult aged avatar:
Legacy bodies don’t load for me until dead last if at all on a comp with a very high end GPU, lots of RAM, and that runs games at high FPS on ultra settings. It’s poorly optimized.
The breasts on Legacy aren’t what I want shape wise and don’t like it when you try to change that. Yes, I know about Legacy perky, etc.. but clothing designers are dropping that.
It costs 5k and isn’t optimized or the shape I want. I’m not spending 5k on something I don’t like so someone I’ve never met won’t think I’m “basic”.
I can’t wear eBody without feeling oversexualized with a huge butt. Even on zero sliders, the butt is huge. I’m not looking to be “sexy”, I want normal proportions. This is eBody’s only bad point for me, if it wasn’t styled for Sir Mixx-A-Lot, I’d have switched.
Kupra is a fetish body. I want nothing to do with fetishes or sex in SL. That’s why I hang on a kid av most of the time, to get away from that end of SL.
The only body with decent support that isn’t a mess of polygons or extreme proportions IS Maitreya. If you’d like to change that and make a better looking normal LLUV mesh body type with tons of support/clothes/etc, be my guest.
also maybe… get a better computer? it’s not legacy’s fault you’re poor
Waiting to hear your comp specs BTW. If you’re going to tell people “get a better computer, poor trash” then you better have the type of custom built rig a professional streamer runs because I do and Legacy is still laggy.
My comp was custom built to run high end games and cost me a pretty penny even with using parts sites to get the best prices. My GPU is probably better than yours considering the chip shortage and the fact most people try running SL on integrated GPUs and GPUs not meant for gaming. My computer isn’t the issue when everything else in SL loads fine and I’m running games on ultra with 40+ FPS. It’s Legacy being poorly optimized.
But Ddn’t worry, that heart inside the body loads fine just like the brain inside Catwa. That’s how I know it’s those two that aren’t optimized.
OK, as someone who’s migrated from Maitreya to Reborn: Deformers. I use them all the time to get a smaller chest and smaller butt. At the same time, I love that my body actually has some thickness in the middle, like maybe there are organs in there or something.
At the same time, I’ve tried to rehabilitate my Maitreya with deformers—but they can’t make the curves on Maitreya smoother. Reborn is way more flexible than Kupra, and way more optimized than Legacy, and a few deformers make it perfect.
Are there deformers for the fingers? Cuz those things do not look like a thick woman’s fingers. I’m sorry, but fat women have more fat in their fingers. I should know as I’m looking at mine while I type this.
I really liked the Reborn but that butt…. if there are deformers that work, I may give it another look. Which did you use?
A lot of people think Reborn can only be thick, which is not true. I follow this person on Twitter, and her Reborn shape (including the butt) is very tiny.
https://twitter.com/naminaeko/status/1514545895311880192?s=20&t=WQ1D525n9UzGOznD-8z86g
Sorry but that’s still super thicc. I don’t know what your definition of “tiny” is, but that’s not it lmao…everyone in this game has no idea what skinny actually is
I’ve found via demo if you want a small butt on Reborn, you have to have no body fat at all. It makes the butt normal sized on 0. So for Reborn, you need to be skinny to not get the huge junk in the trunk.
I’ve a very basic computer and have no issues with legacy loading, legacy tends to load quicker for me than any other body.
What settings are you running? Without fail, Legacy loads the slowest for me. Maitreya and Reborn load the fastest. Then the Belleza and Kupra bodies. I’ve tested it over and over again, Legacy loads last if at all. I had friends switch from Legacy to Reborn and suddenly they’d rez for me. I’m not going to run SL on potato settings just so a poorly optimized body can load.
And? I’m neither of those but I wear Maitreya. I don’t care if you don’t like it. I don’t care if no one likes it. I like it. Suck that.
I bet some boomer anime furry would make you implode eh?
For real you guys tried long enough to make “boomer” a thing and failed. So let’s just try a new one ok? Not everyone not agreeing with you is a boomer, surprise. But keep on throwing blunt insults like that around, so you can go and cry with your friends how no one takes you guys serious, poor sad and misunderstood babies. You guys have nothing you can bring to the table other than weird slogans, go outside and live life or how you guys would probably say, touch some grass.
Stop repeating shit you read on the internet like dull robot. I love getting insulted but you guys can’t even do this, it’s no fun like that.
As a Left4Dead gamer Boomers are something different for me anyways x3
And you know go wear your Kupra all proud, but not everyone has to agree with it or like it.
I always wonder if those people never saw an actual human being live and in color XD and with all the bite marks, black spots and squished areas on this body I really am worried about their mental health, but that’s me. I prefer my women not, beaten, bloody or with melons big as Saturn and ass like 3 baby elephants while having shoe size 2 and a waist like a straw ready to crack because melons…. I often feel sooo sorry for those teeny tiny feet in high heels…waiting for the squished feet btw…
Doesn’t have to be your opinion and I really don’t need you to agree with me.
look how easy it was to trigger you lol, you wrote a whole paragraph over a body on a game boomer
“I really don’t need you to agree with me.” That’s IT. I don’t need or want people on this site to agree with me. I’m just here to rant/rile people up, and it’s so easy to rile up Kupra and Reborn users. I have admitted more than once that Maitreya isn’t perfect, but it’s what works for me.
How are you going to say you’re not a boomer and then say you’re a gamer of a franchise which both entries were released in the late 2000s… Does that not show your age?. Anyway, don’t get mad when people shit on Maitreya for having dated mesh since you don’t have to agree with us either. Difference is we’re objectively correct when all you have is just ‘tHeY’Re FaT!!!!! ECKS DEE’ even though you’ve definitely seen Kupra shapes that look good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nice long post though, next time make it rooted in reality.
I’m not a boomer. I was not born in the official boomer period. Nice try. Whack a different mole next time you post.
You should google boomer maybe, boo. Oh no I am playing a game released 2000 I must have been born between 1946-1969. Makes sense ya. Sorry honeybutt, I’m a late gen y sorry to burst your bubble.
And nope definitely never saw a Kupra shape that looked good. Reborn, yes Kupra nope.
I’m not any of those and I love my Maitreya 😛
