The sky was falling from the first day I visited the forums and I imagine long before I arrived.

... with all the doom and gloom postings, respected veteran players leaving and the apparant disregard of players from LL staff sure makes it hard for a new player to be optimistic and encouraged about the future. I know forums can be a cess pool of angst but heck the negative feeling around here are pretty depressing.


If the forums are painting a bleak vision of the future, take a look at the present! Here's a link to over 800 places other residents like yourself thought were cool enough to snap pictures of:

After seeing what the present has to offer, it's your turn to make the future!

Starax?

I know him. Remember when he started. Didn't know he wasn't going to play with us anymore.

I on the other hand went in the other direction. Since the large-script-edit-slowdown bug is not yet fixed I turned to avatar making. Sio and the guys got to see my new leprechaun avi. Did some more work on him today and it looks sooo coool.

Brace yourself FurNation ... if inspiration keeps biting me, this non-furry will have an avi that will qualify as a furry. ... But I remain non-furry at any rate.


oh how fun, how bout a pixie?

Hang in there, yes, bad stuff is going down, there may be worse to come. But eventually SL will weather the storm, or be overtaken by the competitors Philip is so keen to pit SL against. Either way, we win.
Enjoy the ride and ignore the bumps!

honestly they are being sensationalist..


No. The long term ppl here have very legitamate complaints based on old promises made that have not been fulfilled.

however, that doesn't really directly affect new members. It does impact us indirectly however. Remember that most of the cool stuff you see in SL was created by the long term members, not by LL. Be grateful.
