Seeker Oakleaf — Post 6 Model

[Seeker Oakleaf was brought into the crazy world of Post 6 by my wife, who met him at one of her favorite haunts. I had to agree with her that Seeker's avie is definitely worth a look, and having spent an hour with him doing this shoot, I also have to say he's a great [...]

It Has To Be Said: Internet Lawyers

In the United States, there are a few states left where you don’t have to go to law school in order to be an attorney.  In California, with some restrictions, you can be a lawyer over the internet.   Some states allow someone to "read the law" or simply work with a licensed attorney in order [...]

LadyDeath Rockswood the Club Manager

by Meleth Oakleaf

I wandered into the familiar stone hallway of a dear friend’s club. I was again struck by the tall ceilings and strong architectural features of the club. Unlike many of the clubs I’ve visited, there is no eye blinding laser show, dim lighting nor the typical barrage of gestures. Instead, a provocative [...]

Henry Darkthief alerted the Herald to a troubling pattern of selective censorship on the official Second Life blog that attempts to silence critics of well known vigilante gang leader Kalel Venkman.

[Corsi Mousehold has been awarded  the “commie” or comment-of-the-week award for her explanation of why the Justice League Unlimited superheros are not welcome in Furnation. The award winning comment is reproduced below. ]
Here’s a bit of a story. IN years past the JLU were a welcomed member of the FurNation community. They didn’t bother anyone [...]

Terra Price — Post 6 Grrrrrl

[With Post 6 as popular as it is, it is rare that I have to go searching for models these days. I certainly do that, but most of the models you see here from week to week have approached me and patiently waited until I had a chance to meet with them. This week’s model, [...]

Op/Ed: The Positive Feminist

by Meleth Oakleaf
This isn't an article about a role-play sim, this is an article in which one reporter tackles a delicate topic and probably pisses off a few readers. Hopefully, beyond just pissing off a few people, I can make people think about an often underrepresented feminist view.
I spoke to Pixeleen today about beginning another [...]
