Having a hard time joining Second Life? Tired of getting bizarre errors that you really don't care about?
Now that I have a decent amount of content on this site, I wanted to mention exactly how I got my avatar setup...and frankly, it wasn't through www.secondlife.com.
After futzing around for days, searching Google for alternative means, etc. I finally stumbled upon this website: http://sl.nmc.org/. Basically, if Second Life's main website is giving you too much hassle, head over there and click "Join" from their main menu. Feel free to enter "The Turing Group" as your organization, it's basically a reference to me...and I don't mind.
Beware, however, the error states you'll get from their Join webpage aren't exactly readable. If you get errors that simply consist of a bullet point, it means something isn't working and please try again. For instance, the name you chose is already being used, you have another account with the same e-mail address, etc. Same errors, -different- website.
The good news is, unlike Second Life's main homepage, this one you can keep trying on. Just try different names, etc. until the Join page likes you. You'll start off in a different area of SL than most others, but at least you have an account and it's actually a really nice place to start off.
Hope this helps. See you in-world. :-)
