Free scuba dive gear with beautiful reefs and caves to dive here. Get the dive map and explore the caves and Greek ruins. The caves are even better when set to midnight.

Bored?

I know the feeling. Usually it's just temporary. I think we got a lot of mileage off the newb effect when there was a lot of people willing to help get us going. I noticed once I got my avatar looking fairly human and the newb effect wore off it's harder to find things to do and people to talk to.

I teleport to great hang out spots and while I'm waiting for everyone to get over being all gray, I see the chat is all about -- I don't know -- extreme small talk that doesn't hold my interest much any more. The "chat" here in the forums is far more interesting, even on threads that don't get closed. Maybe I'm being a snob or something, but I just don't need "Hello." "I like your outfit. Where'd you get it?" "I'm lagging sooo bad." "BRB" "Is that a box on your head?" "LOL!" all the time.

I'm thinking of looking into groups to see if people actually chat about other things, but I suspect a lot of the groups are started and never get going like 90% of the accounts listed in People search. Hey, it doesn't matter. I'll keep coming back anyway.

The I am Legend sim is pretty fun. It's just a silly game, but if you become a zombie person you get to run around waving your arms and doing weird twitchy stuff. Chaos should go there for a good example of post-apocolyptic (sp?) stuff.

Sounds like a visit to the Forum Hangout.
