Being a basic clearly blows. No sex, no private messaging, shitty looking newb avatar, limited clothes and faces.
But, having virtual conventions is something that could explode. Especially when all these webmaster types realize how incredibly easy it is to get virtually laid.
somebody should rent a quarter sim in second life and do a convention there. The place would be crawling with chicks attracted by the porn angle if you promoted it right. And people might be stunned at how easy it is to do business with a decent avatar and interface.
oh, and with decent voice chat and private voice chat too.

Glad you made it out Bill
There are many things that are "missing" or seem to plain just "suck" as a basic member,
Not exactly sure what you mean by the interface though, did you explore all the buttons and settings? or just the "D" I had you click to jump to where everyone else was at?
For me, as a comparison, hands down I pick Redlight (RLC) over Second Life (SL) for the interface (controls) and built in interactions, as well as the sheer subtlety of the "ads" (outside of the convention world mind you lol)
SL wins on the graphics but only for right now, RLC is in the process of launching a complete new build that will features many new things that even SL doesn't have, but as for the graphics end, once the new system rolls out I'm told that the avatars can look as real as my content (and that my models could be used!) right now the avatars look like The Sims due to the low polygon count they are running.
another thing to keep in mind, as a basic member IF someone was nude or having sex in front of you, you'd see them fully clothed (and not ness the clothes they WERE wearing, it's something that is a double edged sword for me, cause in a way basic do not KNOW what they are missing (but the sex/nudity block is there as sort of an "age verification" thing, you don't see "porn" (sans pictures in certain areas) until you age verify and then upgrade.
There was talk last night between some of us webmasters, and mini conventions similar to this weekend (but much smaller) will become a reality in the near future, I say we can do monthly networking / Biz meetings / parties in a virtual environment, I myself have a few venues already built inside of RLC and larger ones being built over the next few weeks.
Wrapping this up, today is the last day of the convention and is dubbed "Fan Day" doors open at 11am PST Seka takes the stage at 12pm PST, if you have not made it out yet you still have this one last chance to do so.
I'll give my full write-up / review late tonight or 2morrow
