This is too much, I'm quitting SL!

Hah, that made you look didn't it?

Actually, I think all these proposed changes will be very much for the good of SL. I can't help but be reminded of the furore surrounding the 1.2 changes; I was vehemently against them at the time, but time has proved Philip right and the rest of us wrong; not, I suspect, for the last time.

However.....however....

I really am leaving SL.

RL commitments have kind of overtaken me recently and I need to focus on what's really important in my first life.

I'll pop in briefly later today to say my farewells. To all my friends to whom I don't get a chance to say goodbye, I'd just like to thank you for your wonderful friendships - the most truly wonderful and lasting memory amongst so many in the journey of Secondlife.

I shall miss you all.

Jeebus, Viola... thats a bit up and down... I read the title and thought 'omg! noooo!'... then read the first paragraph and thought 'phew! hehe!' then read the rest and went 'omg! nooo!' again. :)

Wait, no one as nice and talented as you is allowed to leave SL.

You are the first person I met in SL so long ago. You were out on newbie-help patrol. And I really needed it. You and Thunder helped me find my first plot of land in Aqua. Thank you and I wish you all the best.

P.S. - Keep the account open, you never know when you might get the itch to come back.

There is one big difference between the 1.2 change over and now. Our pay is being cut.

Very Big Difference

I have good memories of you from Avalon, Viola, and I understand the RL/SL balance thing.
Come back when you can make the time...

Viola, you were one of the few Brits in SL when I started. I still fondly remember the Brits Tea Party after the 4th of July events (where Pituca and I met).

We will be sorry to see you leave. You represent all that is good in Sl so well.

Come back when you can.

lol omg I was just gonna get ready to post "don't let the door hit you on the way out". But seeing it's RL stuff this is a wise an responsible decision you have to take. For one I hope that day will never come... (the one about taking responsible decisions! :D )

Sad to see you leave. Hopefully you'll drop in from time to time!

Viola, you were one of the first people I met in SL, and have always been absolutely wonderful. I hope this is a TEMPORARY and not PERMANENT departure! I will miss you and never figure... Clifton rules!

:-)

Oh my....big hugs to you Vi!.....I personally want to say thank you for all that you have done for me individually. You have taught me, helped me, listened to my concerns and have always been the epitomy of all good things that make a person wonderful.

I will miss you in second life and wish you all good things in your real life.....

Viola, you've always been at the top of my "people I respect in SL" list :) I'm very sorry to see you go! Best of luck in all that you do, and I hope that you'll come back to us some day.

Your RL's gain is SL's loss. Best wishes and good luck to you, Vi. :)

Viola, I'll miss you, you were the one who told me about what SL had to offer and helped me when I was a noob... I'll never forget that! :)

Wish you the best in RL, and hope you come back someday!

Well, I don't think the authorities should permit you to leave, Viola. But if they won't stop you, I wish you the best. You're definitely one of the coolest people in SL.

Viola rules, Vivaldi droolz :)

Hmm, I tried to come in to say goodbye, but of course SL is down, so I'll try and pop in tomorrow around UK lunchtime-ish. I hope I can catch at least a few of you then.

I think when I said that I'll miss you all, what I meant to say was that I'll really miss you all.
