Hi, I cant help but notice that youre still a complete fucking moron.
Prims are actually a good idea---and one of the only good ideas that
anyone involved with second life has had since they stole the original
code from Activeworlds. It enables any user to create and modify
models and have them display correctly in the clients of others. This
is not Warcraft nor Everquest here, where there are no user-servicable
parts.
