We are sorry to announce that as of today we are forced to discontinue selling the [vdbv.designs] Store Card, due to a very serious security bug related to the Second Life server. All the Store Card dispensers in-world are already deleted, therefore it will not be possible to purchase more Cards as of today 8/20/2010.
However, in order to give our loyal customers and residents who already possess a [vdbv.designs] Store Card the chance to use their credit, we give a grace period of 2+ months. Therefore, residents who have already purchased a Store Card, can still use it until 31 October 2010.
After that date, it will not be possible to use the Store Card in any of the BODY HAiR SHOP outpost stores. So please use the unused credit of your Store Cards until 31 October 2010 because any purchased Cards, cannot be returned and cannot be refunded with Linden dollars.
We are very sorry to announce the discontinuation of our Store Card system, however we would like to stress that we have no other option left. This is a serious bug directly related only to the Store Card developer and Linden Lab Second Life server, and [vdbv.designs] have nothing to do with this.
In addition, by giving you more than two months time in order to use the Store Card credit, this grace period is one of the longest of any Second Life merchant. Most of the merchants, have already given a grace period of 1-2 weeks or no grace period at all.
Finally, we would like to note that we were aware of this serious issue for almost two years now but we decided to keep it "under the hood" until the Store Card developer and/or Linden Lab could find a solution, in order not to bring serious inconvenience to our customers. Unfortunately, neither LL nor the developer provided a fix to the bug until now.
For the most of that period, the problem went unnoticed and did not affect directly the [vdbv.designs] Store Card. However, given some recent "suspicious" activity of known residents/copybotters we are now forced to discontinue our Store Card before we lose more sales.
Thank you for your consideration and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
