I tried. I quickly grew uninterested (and sick of the restrictive word dictionary).

Not really. I gave it a try when it first came out. While it does seem to have it's fans you can't really hold a decent conversation on it due to all the language filters they have in place to protect their own asses their impressionable young guests.

Would you kindly please stop posting what I'm going to post before I post it. It's making me look bad.

Thanks.

Don't sell yourself short. You can make yourself look bad all on your own, you don't need my help.

I'm lost.

SL doesn't have word filters!

See! Now that's better. I was definitely not going to post that.

Thanks for doing what I asked.

I hate that show.

Geographically, conversationally, or metaphysically?

What is the attraction of talking through avatars?

This is something I've never really figured out. I play WoW and when I'm in a raid with 30 people and we're doing something there is some pleasure in the antics that can be done with an avatar.

But for just sitting around chatting, what does it provide that the much simpler IRC chatroom doesn't?
