LOOSE LIPS? "Frolic has wanted desperately to carve a niche out for himself"source says. He will lie to have it. But advertisers don't want him to continue lying to them and over charging for ads that don't turn customer profits in the end. "Shattered dreams and empty pockets" are what new designers are claiming Frolic Mills has left them. But Frolic keeps insisting it would be a great opportunity. He told our inVd ghost many lies to raise his visibility tremendously and could be a spring board for only one thing - your money. "This is why Mr. Mills deals with ladies because they are gullible," insider said.
(Scenario)An inVd ghost this afternoon contacted Mr. Mills about advertising in the Best of SL. Our inVd ghost posed as a new business owner and wanted some information about advertising. Have a look at this conversation.
Click pics to enlarge.
We would love to anyone's input as to the logistic reality of having 17,000 kiosks in world and why do you need 16 servers? Please note our inVd ghost even tried correcting him by asking him did he mean 1700 and he replied back 17,000.
Next our inVd ghost asked him whats his monthly circulation and he wasn't very comfortable with disclosing this information. Why? We thought he may be on to us at this point but for 25k per ad our inVd ghost was persistent in finding out his circulation count. He finally said over 100,000 monthly. From our personal experience and speaking to other magazine owners this just seems bogus.
Mr. Mills mentioned in his editorial this month he wishes all magazines in world the best. But what fairness is there in the over-inflation of numbers when other magazine owners play it honestly? Food for thought - If there are 65,00-80,000 active online, this would mean nearly the entirety of SL. There may be 1 million accounts logged in during a 30-day period but this number is not unique log-ins. How many times do you log in a day - especially on a laggy day?
Before anyone screams sour grapes on our part, inV was alot of fun and very successful but we closed the in-world magazine because it was just becoming too much work and SL should be fun. We know the amount of effort it takes to do a monthly in-world magazine and have the utmost respect for those who continue to do this. But people should be aware of the demographics and statistics and not simply take everything at face value at least FLAMBOYANT FROLIC MILLS. In-world magazines can be an excellent way to advertise but don't just accept numbers without serious consideration. The best way to advertise is to diversify the media you are using to get your name out there.
Ask any magazine Editor in SL about these numbers and they'll all agree FROLIC YOUR ALL B.S.

...PLEASE....my farts are worth more the the air coming out of Frolic Mills mouth.
LMAO here is a kiosk hon. While we shell out big bucks to Frolic for advertising we are expected to advertise his name. Bullshit removing my kisok.
17,000? Whatever
100,000? SERIOUSLY!?!? Listen fashionista...that's more than the amount of people logged in a day! PFFFT stop blowing smoke up everyones ass
Don't take my advice, I'm not using it. Frolic Mills is there your idea how to get ads? I can't believe what I just read you fed to this person. Don't trust Frolic Mills. Are there even 17,000 locations in sl. Dingo Berry
Probably too many fingers in too many pies, perhaps wanting too be all things to all men, and developing a habit of playing people against each other.
Frolic needs to shape up and get a grip, run a tighter ship, as he is picking up quite the reputation in blogland. I don't know the guy personally, lucky me, but I seem to be reading about him a lot.
Fro would have to place roughly 46 per day for one whole year to reach 17,000, so no days off or holidays this year or well into 2010 then, lol. Better get in a bulk order from Pizza Hut.
[4/7/2009 5:32:39 PM] Paul says: THE REAL MEANING BEHIND FROLIC MILLS + his credo.
THE BEST OF SL Magazine is a monthly publication which celebrates and honors those who have excelled in ANY field in Second Life.
CORRECTION: THE BEST OF SL Magazine is a monthly publication which celebrates the greatest ass-lickers + sycophants of SL, and honors those who have excelled in of the above in ANY field in Second Life. [Bearing in mind that sycophancy does in fact negate what field one is in and diminishes any form of credibility of the nominated individual or company that Madame Frolic Mills considers to be the Best (sic)].
Want to find out about the best of anything? Join this group; these people know it all, so feel free to ask away!
CORRECTION: Frolic’s mignons are as ill spirited and ignorant as he is so they are hardly authorities on anything other than regurgitating the biased bullshit he spins.
Purveyors of fine taste? [Well they might be authorities in scat!]
Btw, this is a chat group, and boy do we ever chat ! So if you don’t like to communicate this is not the group for you.
CORRECTION: This group is for social vagrants who have nothing better to do than gossip + spread morally bankrupt commentary on people who actually do fine work but refuse to join their likes and kiss Venezuelan or any Third World butt!
THE BEST OF SL MAGAZINE
CORRECTION: THE WORST OF SL MAGAZINE
