1. BonnieBots banned?

   As I recall, they only showed parts of the profile, so they weren't simply embedding it. They might have altered it using CSS or something? Not sure.

   Sorry, I meant to quote your comment above, but quoted Scylla instead, although her quote said nothing about avoiding speculating. So I was lazy and just said my first comment about my speculating was for you. Good conspiracies keep em' coming.

3. Using Second Life avatars to paint physical oil portraits (test/study)

   I actually use my avatar as a reference for story art.

   It has been a while, did they scrape the profiles though? I remember talking about it, but that was a few years ago, I remember they hosted the profiles, but am not sure if they actually stored it locally, or if it was referencing LL's site. Mah memory is fuzzy, didn't LL make a few changes after that, blocking our profiles from the web in general unless we are logged in.

   There is zero question it existed and almost certainly still exists. It's the foundation of their website. And I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory -- I think Bonniebots are generally responsible and not maliciously inclined. But that's a lot of data. I suspect this is probably true. And if they started anonymizing the data after they stopped scraping profiles and listing online status, there wouldn't be much of value for someone who was malicious. I'd like to hear what they plan to do with it, though.
