Since when do you just build a basic boring website and expect it to take off? Why would you expect a basic boring structure in second life to suddenly be a hub of activity?

If you're selling virtual products in secondlife then it makes total sense for you to have a virtual store. Anyway, the reason i thought your company was potentially a joke was because a lot of the content seemed amusing, hence the quotes. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and I do appreciate the comment. Maybe I don’t understand your business Nero, do you sell actual hardware? or are you just selling virtual products in secondlife?

Mainly because we could not build the replica in the real world. Too many regulations.
