If SL did someting like this, would you light a candle in respect, otherwise use the time, do what you could to survive the hour, curse LL... or do someting like dis?

The Five Stages of Grief in SL
05-22-2008 12:42
The 5 Stages of Grief In SL
Which stage are you on now? * 1. Denial and Isolation: When I am in my skybox everything works fine. * 2. Anger: How could Linden Labs do this to me? I pay alot of money to be here. I am one of their biggest supporters. And look at my business now - in ruins! Land I bought adjacent to a telehub at inflated prices is useless. My Mature rated mainland parcel is no longer searcheable and OPEN ENROLLMENT! I want restitution! * 3. Bargaining: OK here is what we can do: Just schedule updates once a month and we're cool. * 4. Depression: I need to go back to There. This is killing me. * 5. Acceptance: You know the Lindens are people too. Give them time to work out the problems. It isn't like they are doing this just to upset you. It is a new technology. It is bound to be somewhat glitchy. They don't even profit from it. _____________________

That lady is nuts - light the candles. I agree -- but I think of how, um, "wild" some of the blog comments get some times, ya know? Mari EDIT: I did't realize, when I psoted dis, dat SL was going into an outage. What timing! _____________________

LOL Second Life became so much better after I turned into a #5. I remember when I hit #4. I was in There for about 20 mins on my hoverboard having fun with my dogs running behind me. Then I got bored and did the unthinkable.. I began chasing my dogs down with my hoverboard.  _____________________

Reading the irate posts is far more entertaining than watching TV anyway.
/me sits alone in her skybox where everything is fine, chatting in IM with a friend while reading posts and playing Freecell...  _____________________

If that happened to SL, you can be sure that there would be more than one person complaining. Though, SL wouldn't be shut down (not deliberately) - there'd be some sort of Fundraising Thing.

Well, I will add that I would be pissed if my government tried to dictate something like that -- just out of principle.

It is a new technology. It is bound to be somewhat glitchy. They don't even profit from it. The company has been profitable for close to 2 years, last I heard. |

I'm a big reader of online comics and check for updates on a daily basis, even for the 3-times-per-week ones. I can say I'm addicted.
But, I remember "black week". When almost EVERY comic I read replaced their comic main page with a single black image for the first week or two right after the Sept.11th attacks. It was a morbid and somber time for everyone around and it was a very selfish few that bashed the sites for blacking out. But... WOAH!!! Arrested? It makes me even more happy that I was born where I was. (>_< _____________________

I hear they're banning a certain video game in china now...... Quake.
 Seriously, this lady is nuts. Anyone know if the quake affected Taiwan? I have a friend over there teaching English & havent heard from him in quite some time. _____________________
