The Second Life login is currently restricted to Lindens only. We expect to return service to all residents shortly. Ok so its been four hours. So we know that a "shortly" in LL time is longer than a few hours. So how long exactly is a "shortly"? Is it shorter than forever? Is it longer than a "quickly"? Maybe a "shortly" is less than a day. Longer than awhile. Shorter then long? No idea. But four hours ain't shortly in MY book! |

Looks like they messed up a few words in that.

I'll be on the SL Forums watching and communicating what comes up. I'll also update when you can login again. That sentence gives me hope. |

Really need to have a second life dictionary so we can understand what the ll messages mean!!!! in this case a 'minute' is how long it takes to reboot all the servers and run all the database integrity checks and repairs... in english that means 'the length of time it takes for your ass to become completely numb from sitting in your chair waiting for the game to come back up'. |

Oh, I was on when it went down... have been waiting for nearly 5.5 hours.... not too "comfortably numb" at this point!!! ; ] |

The real reason it won't go up: SL is really powered by a demonic blood thirsty server. It is quickly becoming more demanding of human sacrifices so in retribution the server conjured the herpes balls.
