Could DU use IMVU or Second Life to raise money? [View all]

[Shankapotomus]

These are 3D chat worlds that have virtual economies whose currency can be exchanged for real USD.

I know the admins at DU have brainstormed fund raising in the past.

Does anyone know if they considered setting up a presence in one of these virtual worlds and then charging entry fees for events (like election and debate parties) in the currency in one of those worlds and then exchanging it for real USD's?

Think DU could get enough people to join in that?


Plus, during high traffic times, it would split the bandwidth usage up between DU and the 3D chat world, reducing stress on the DU servers, no?.
