/me idly wonders how long my comment will stay on the blog. Do you mean this one? # Kris Ritter Says: September 6th, 2006 at 1:35 AM …yes, and fuck you right back! Not sure how long it will stay on the blog but know it will be archived here safe and sound.  _____________________

One thing I do see is the future internet with a resident question pop up blocker in place. _____________________

Thank GOD the Lindens will be able to control what topics we talk about on their blogs. This whole freedom thing on the forums just insn't compatible with wartime life in the USA these days. I mean, if you speak your mind you are just sinking ships. Come on people!

there is so much i want to say about this, yet.. i'm just as equally speechless.
my comment over at Torley's blog about this was a fairly decenty summary, but i suspect i will have no choice but to start a new thread here that better details (read: more essay-ish) my feelings on all of this and my involvement over the past 2 1/2 years or so. just know this.. i will miss what we have had here. i'm well aware that many of us will feel what we think is absurd emotions over a simple forums closing a small portion of it's inclusive forums, but here me when i say.. it is NOT absurd. we have created a community within the forums that are being culled in The Closure that would be hard to rival.. in-world or elsewhere on any other forums or in any other MMO. some people are glad to see these forums go due to the vitriol exhibited at times and i will not say they are wrong for feeling that.. these forums are among the harshest i've seen at times (well, SC is easily gaining that title, lol) and they have a valid point in such a referrance; however, there are just as many shining examples in this forum as venomous ones. k.. i'm done for now.. *BIG HUGS* to all.. even the ones who think i hate them. (which i don't hate anyone actually..  )_____________________

It's not absurd, Cybin. Passion never is. After all, if we didn't care about SL, we wouldn't be playing it. Same with the forums, if we didn't understand their value, we wouldn't be upset about their demise. It's just a pity that Linden Lab do not understand the value of the forums.

Ciao forums:
We meet ‘neath the sounding rafters And the walls around are bare the halls echo peels of laughter T’would seem that the dead were there. So stand to your glasses steady ‘Tis all we have left to prize Quaff a cup to the dead already And one to the next man who dies. Time was when we frowned on others We thought we were wiser then But now let us all be brothers For we never may meet again Cut off from the land that bore us. Betrayed by the land we find The good men have gone before us And only the dull left behind. So stand to your glasses steady This world is a web of lies Then here’s to the dead already And hurrah for the next man who dies. Here’s an end to this mournful story For death is a distant friend So here’s to a life of glory And a laurel to crown each end |

I got a lot out of the General forum as a newbie...and even as an older "resident". I learned TONS. Pity they don't see it as being worthwhile to moderate.
whatever. I'm a subscriber to an online service. I keep having to remind myself. As I don't see most of you in world ever, it's been nice knowing you. *waves _____________________
