[Opensim-users] Neutral Avatar - Hippo?

[James Stallings II]

If it were up to me, we'd find something more appealing than a hippo for the
mascot. The inheritance of anything from Second Life to me is pretty
distasteful.

Not likely to be a popular opinion so I don't expect much to come of it, but
my 0.02$US anyway.

(I mean seriously, a fat, sluggish river-dwelling herbivore that is so close
to the next level down on the food chain that the carp literally follow it
around to eat as it defecates -- why was that ever a mascot for anything in
the first place?)
