Who knows (farewell to the forums)

who knows if the moon's
a baloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their baloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where

always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves

-ee cummings

Interesting.

Perhaps the Lindens are suggesting we should get out and enjoy the rest of summer while it lasts (not that I'll pay attention to such advice).

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

-Walt Whitman

So where are most ppl going once LL forums go down?

I'll probably bounce around between SLU and SC forums. I'm not much of a blog reader. I've also decided that now is a good time to cut back on forums and maybe find some more productive ways to fill my time. It's a pain trying to keep up with several forums and it would be next to impossible to just pick one.

I agree with Chip.. I am not big on blogs.
I will be at sl-forums.com. I will lurk a couple others as well.

I still cant believe LL is going to cut out the lively sections of the forum. Content creation etc is awesome but when the "platform" goes down one of it's multiple chances to in a week I will miss having this base. This is where everyone came together.

Not everyone, not by a long shot. But, you know what? This is where people who never would have associated with one another inworld or in real life shouted at each other, fought and came to terms with each other, learned to respect each other, sometimes hated each other, and shared ideas. This is where the Beast Diversity was tamed and channeled, and sometimes broke out and rampaged across the intellectual landscape of SL.

Long live the Lindens, who are killing the Beast because they do not understand it.

4 months + 8 days
Been waiting here
Transporter broken
Horizon's clear

(DAY ONE)
No vegetation
Blips on my screen
Whatever was here
Has been disappeared

Now here's alright [x2]

(DAY TWO)
Wait tower
Radar's going off
I see a small creature
Who can barely walk

My data says "large"
But what I see is small
Text reads "Big Danger"
But this just looks tired

Now here's alright [x2]

(DAY THREE)
Come in tower
All our data's wrong
Research inconsistent
We misread it all

There was no monster
And what's left is near dead
Control killed a phantom
From inside their heads

Nowhere's alright [x4]
