A few questions: (excuse my ignorance)
What exactly is a CL?
A CL is a Community Leader. You can identify them in VMK because they have CL_ in front of their name. There is an application process for becoming a Community Leader and VMK staff of some sort determines who is and isn't accepted. I believe things like amount of time they have played VMK and knowledge of VMK are considered.
Commumity Leaders don't receive special privileges from VMK or anything, they are volunteers who are supposed to help other VMK players in the game.

and...what exactly is a VIP?
A VIP is nothing special in terms of the game. It's supposed to show you completed the in park quests at Walt Disney World or
Disneyland and qualified for the official tour. You would receive a tour card with a code for the VIP button on it after turning in your park quest results.
So, having a VIP button in you signature ultimately means you acquired a code for it at some time.

And one comment: Anyone who is savvy enough to be making a second character must be somewhat savvy. I don't even know how to make a second character. When I tried, it told me my e-mail address was already in use (for my daughter's character).
There are many ways to create a second character. I create lots of characters under age 13 and use one of my email addresses as their parent contact. I believe some people just enter an invalid email address. I think there may be a valid way to make your Disney account into a family account which should allow you to have multiple characters too.

and another question:
How do I find you nice people in VMK? I don't think there is a way to simply search for a person, is there?
Thanks!!

You can't search for a specific person unless they are already on your friends list. But you should be able to find some of the DIS people by opening the Popular Guest Rooms pop up then putting their VMK name in the search field then clicking the search button. Their room will be the search result if someone is in it. Some DIS people put Dis in their room titles and descriptions. That's another thing to search for. Once you have a search result you may choose to enter that room if it isn't restricted to friends only.
I have problems using search because it doesn't seem to allow you to do sequential searches. Usually I do one search then click on the Friend's Rooms tab then click on the Guest Rooms tab to start a new search.
Dis people seem to hang around in groups, often on Main Street or one of the Haunted Mansion lobbies.
The bad news is, many Dis people's friends lists are full so it may be hard to find someone who is able to add you to their friends list.
