Has anyone seen the movie "The Never Ending Story"... There was this unseen force called "the nothing". I think it's in Teal. First the trivia building went missing, then the bowling alley, then boxing and now Aurelie's castle is gone.
I saw the movie when I was a kid so I don't remember how the good guys won. It had something to do with a giant flying dog.

You mean the Luck Dragon? Actually, the Luck Dragon played only a small role in how the "good guys" won. The Luck Dragon took Atrau to the Southern Oracle so he could get wisdom on how to stop the nothingness.
The way the nothingness is actually stopped is the Imagination of the child in each of us expressing ourselves!

The castle is unexplainably gone too?!  This is scaring me even more now! Bowling alley, boxing ring, castle... I swear this thing is moving west into Rose and my office is right in its path!! I don't have my office saved in my invetory at all, its a unique item. If it poofs I'll go postal on someone. Seriously, whats going on?

I worked on the game of the sequel to Never Ending Story, a long time ago. 'The nothing' claimed that too - it got cancelled a month into development! So, do we have a problem with lifers not believing in SL anymore, and causing 'the nothing'? I think we'd better start looking for the child-princess... she'll know what to do!

The Never Ending Story was a real good movie. Wasn't the answer to keep reading...?
It's sad to see Aurelie's castle gone. That was a great place, but changes seems to be the nature of the SL beast, as in our FLs.
So I guess we keep reading, although I have been tempted to put the book down lately.

I saw the boxing ring was gone, but didn't realize Aurelie's castle was gone too! We need a grain of sand! (and Imagination!)

I'm glad to report the castle poofed not cause of unseen forces hehe, though perhaps thats a better way for it to go. I couldn't afford it any longer, so its living in my inventory for now |

Awwwww hehe, the thought is sweet. I'm holding land for someone right now (till he gets his butt back in SL), so until he gets back i'll have to do with my little shack in Teal. The castle is in mint condition in my inventory however! My taxes were reaching a little over 10k/week hehe, and without the castle rez'd i can afford things better. It sucks to be honest, but at least its not deleted hehe |

W00T The Neverending Story used to be my favorite when i was a kid  Bastion had to call out the child-like impress's name(moon child) and the nothing stopped. but there was only 1 grain of sand left. to make everything come back Bastion had to make lots of wishes we need someone from SL to get in touch with an earthling or all of SL will disappear |

Hehehe, i remember liking the movie okay, and then finding the book it was based on and hating it--it went on way too long, lost my interest halfway through (about where the movie ended, if I recall correctly). I recall thinking the book really was never ending--and not in a good way.
Hope those afflicted by the SL nothing manage to combat it, tho'. That sucks.
