| Show your Freebie Style This came up in another thread in New Users and it occurred to me that there is a lot of misinformation out there concerning the quality of free gifts available on the grid. People like myself, who are hardly ever online, have 2007 still implanted in our brains  Some new folks are still running around looking like they were born in 2007 because they don't know about all the great stuff available. So I thought it would be fun to start a new thread devoted only to freebies. You can do it either way: start a new free account so you can take advantage of all the <30 day offerings out there, or just dig up that old alt and get to work. The only criteria I would urge is that you cannot spend a thing on skins, hair, clothing, shoes, or animations. NOTHING. Everything on the avatar you post here must be free! That may require you to save your snapshots to your local drive to avoid the $10L upload fee, but you'll have to do that eventually anyway if you want to post the photo here. (I forget if it costs you to send shots to Snapzilla but that's a possibility). No cheating!  Let's see what you've got, my lovelies!

| Once we've gone a few pages, this would be a good link to offer new residents complaining about not having any $L or anything to wear! EDIT: I've already learned something. Rather than dig out a dusty old alt, I decided to start a new av. Now they make you select a unique first name - no spaces. Do they understand how hard it is to find a unique first name that several hundred thousand other residents don't already have? Do they get it that this will mean we see "John1234" and "Mary340982" all over the grid? Last edited by Cindy Claveau; 12-24-2011 at 11:10 AM. |

My Mood:  | That is a wonderful idea and certainly can be done - here is a new alt I created inspired by the Juicybomb challenge (Newbie Style Challenge II). Their limit was L$550, but using hunts and freebies, I created this look completely for free.   Most was from the Men Only Hunt Outfit: FA Creations Winter jacket hat glasses Skin: Belleza Men Only Hunt gift Hair: .::MADesigns Hair::. ALL BROWNS ~ SLIDE Shape: Sophistishapes - ENRIQUE (DIMH3) Eyes: Damage Chance - blue eyes |

| This is turning into quite the eye-opener for me. Shows you what happens when you're out of the SL loop for very long. I have my new av, and already found some good free hair, a free AO and some random free clothing. Since it's the Holiday season, lots of stores have free gifts at the front of their stores. Things I either forgot or never suspected (so far):
This is gonna take me a while. I'm out of practice. |

My Mood: | Links Cindy, I used grid-wide hunts successfully for find a lot of stuff. Here's a useful website: FabFree – Fabulously Free in SL There are links to hunts on the last page. Adult verification is now ridiculously easy - just say you are an adult - that's all there is to it (go figure) Happy holidays and happy hunting |

My Mood:   | Search places for "Leather and Lace", they have a kiosk that gives a notecard pointing to free Marketplace skins and hair for both women and men. Adult verification required, and make sure to use "and" and not "&", that will point you to a different place. |

My Mood:  SL Join Date: 11/13/2007 | This is gonna be fun! I haven't done this in a while either, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's out there. I'm going to try to do this from a completely noobish point of view, and I'm not going to join any groups that I know have gifts out, nor am I going to use any hunt items because they're just temporary gifts. I'll post URLs to the blogs I'll use, and SLurls to the places I go. I do have one question though...can I make my own shape, or should I try to find a good free one? |

My favorite blog for freebies is actually a compilation of other freebie blogs. I was shocked how many there were and I'm sure that's not even all of them. SL Freebies Cheapies Dollarbies Lucky Chairs Hunts Other places you must check out is Seraphim. Just join the group, visit the headquarters, and squee at all the generous and great gifts Second Life Maps | Depraved Nation I also recommend Savoir Hair which has a collection of free and dollarbie hairs from quite a few creators and it's a nice quiet place to lounge while you unpack or play with your shape.

The only cheating I was kind of considering was to copy Cindy's shape (which is 100% mine, evolved over several years) and then maybe tweak it a little on the newbie. But it's still free. As I have long suspected, you guys rock  | |

My Mood: Client: Flavor of the week | We should be allowed to use 10L? It doubles or multiplies the offers if you can buy dollarbies. Quote:
I know many of you frown of camping chairs, but I had great fun using them when I started. I would earn a few §L and run out grabbing dollarbies, all exited.  I remember saving up to things that cost 10L. Once I was hooked on dollarbies, I started to look at things that cost more.... But today, I still don't turn down a good freebie.
