Oh my, what are you a pessimistic lady. I’d say: ‘Let’s give them a chance. We’ll see.’

YOU dont have to wonder about that thin line Vint…

It will be done by the marketing managers of the companies that place adds on Koinup, and by sensation seeking journalists…

We have seen that before… and history will repeat itself :-(

And answer from the Koinup People:

Nude is usually allowed by Koinup Terms of Use.
Soon we'll introduce the option that will allow user to set if its work is for a certain audience or not.
Porn is not allowed.

So, no I just wonder, where do you draw the line between 'tasteful nude' and 'pr0n'?

Hmm. Grid can’t be all. As we have a ‘main grid’ and a ‘teen grid’. But maybe on the Metaverse you are right:

The term metaverse comes from Neal Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash, and is now widely used to describe the vision behind current work on fully immersive 3D virtual spaces. These are environments where humans interact (as avatars) with each other (socially and economically) and with software agents in a cyber space, that uses the metaphor of the real world, but without its physical limitations.

Intra-metaverse it is. =)

I think Metaverse is already all virtual worlds–or virtual reality in general…SL is part of Metaverse, not the only operator of it. Like the “grid” or the “net” is the internet and all the networks/computers attached. So maybe it would be intra-metaversal…or inter-virtual world? trans-metaverse? Koinup looks cool, but the ads are lame…
