I think your post title should have been, "going up the crapper."

...... At that point, the Second Life they had envisioned has died. And at that point, LL has to move to maximize their returns while they are still able to....


I do hope that nobody in LL would take such a Darwin-denial approach.

Anyone who takes a leap of faith, and then has a hissy-fit because the universe does not serve up the exact envisioned result belongs in a museum as an exhibit - particularly if they were unable to recognise how their creation was surviving in the unknown.

Bah, these days all people predict is the demise of something, I remember back in the day they predicted apocalypses.

Why does no one predict an decent apocalypse any more? :(

There's just not enough comets.
It's a bummer.

However, there is hope.
2012 will see the arrival of a ginormous lump of rock that will pass within a few million miles of Earth.

e.g. (sort of)
http://www.satansrapture.com/nostra2012.htm

I think that it is *VERY* disappointing that we will have to wait until 2012 before we are totally screwed.




And what the hell happened to Bird Flu anyway?

Is SL dead or simply misunderstood? I rather like the observation by Pathfinder Linden that new mediums are initially treated like pre-existing ones... internet like print... television like radio... People and corporations will continue to come and go; staying only if they uncover a unique opportunity in SL.

...and there was me still hoping for the gaping hell mouth, the fire and brimstone with hordes of damned souls screaming as they are being sucked down to a place of no redemption *sighs* I suppose a comet will have to do.

Bird flu - pfft!!! It is not an apocalypse unless it at least scorches the earth too. If it affects only living things then it classes only as a cleansing in my book.

I do not take seriously reports about SL's health from writers who have no idea what SL is about in the first place.


Well said.

LOL.

You probably already know this but for those that do not........

October 28, 2011 or December 21, 2012, just depending on which calculation you use, is the end of the Mayan calendar and supposedly the end of civilization.

I am aware of this. It is the end of what the Mayans called The Long Count.

We are quite amazingly (un)fortunate to have witnessed not only the end of a century, the end of a millenium but also to be witnessing the end of a major civilisation's longest span of time keeping.

But that was the plan all along. It doesn't matter what their Party Sign says. There is no difference between them, they all are His followers. :p

The Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world in 2012- Coincedence?....

ETA- I should read thru before posting- everyone beat me to this :)
