By my calculations, isn't today the day when massive immigration starts?

Do we know where from yet? :)

Slashdot would be my guess - that's how I got here.

SL's got some good press on there recently, and many of the user comments on /. appear to be quite positive.

Some from SL forum regulars, I've noticed... good to see continuing crossover.

Combo of Slashdot and some mmorpg site for me.

And I feel silly for not being here sooner. I always preferred MUSEs over MUDs, yet I still kept looking at Everquest type games. Whoopsies. :D

Rumor has it that SL is scheduled to get a mention in some publication (that has a HUGE number of readers) that comes out today...

Can anybody confirm or deny this?

I'm told that it's a mailing list. I'm not sure of the specifics.

Maybe it's a hand shaped crop circle, planned by the Lindens...

I came from Slashdot, and I really wish I heard of SL earlier.

I have played EQ and AO and quite a few MUDs over the years, and SL is the friendliest online place I have ever visited.

I just subscribed and hope to be around for awhile.


Also good to see another Monroe county MI resident :) I'm from Bedford.

Not an actual confirmation, but I'd heard of an article in Newsweek as well as the slashdot posting, (which has a huge readership of tech people as well.)

The slashdot mention already happened, about the IP rights of player-createcd content.

But, with the time being stretched back to 7 PM, I hope no one tries to log in today...

Someone put a sign that says "SL Down For Maintenance" on the front page, ASAP!

Gamespy had an MMOG article up on Friday with a lot about There and SL.
