Hello<br><br> I just want to send out a word of caution to the users or potential users of the dodgy types of viewers that you have mentioned . There is currently an SQL database being assembled with the names of users who are using these clients and apparently many of them have been banned . Here is a link to the name list , just to show that its out there . <br>

<br><br> Please use caution with these viewers at the moment , unless you don't mind your name being gathered in a database . Also please note that using a secondary avie instead of your main avie doesn't neccessarily protect your main avatar or any other avie that is being used by your IP . General IP bans are known to happen and you are lucky if your secondary avie is the only one that has been taken . At the present time , it is probably best to steer away from these viewers unless you really know what you are doing and know or speak to the developer of the viewer .<br>
<br>Kind Regards<br><font color="#888888">Tara <br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>As with everything else, IP bans and avie bans can easily be
circumvented. Creating free Second Life accounts and using false "real
names" as well as using IP spoofers and even hardware MAC address spoofers is as
easily found online as the hacked viewers themselves.<br>
<br>
When "backing up" my items in Second Life, my free account appeared to
originate in a completely different country and the IP address was
likewise some random data, like 123.45.67.890.<br>
<br>
It's been proven since the dawn of Pirate Radio Stations that nothing will stop those who desire doing something they
want to do, no matter what it is. As usual, it's those of us wanting a
proper tool to use for our own legitimate means who wind up getting
shafted in the end. Pun intended. :)<br>
