I think what's difficult about loss in SL is that there often no closure. We don't know why a sim left or a friend never returns. It's a mystery like the Maria Celeste. <br /><br />I try to avoid being alarmist but I shre your concern about how much more can SL shrink before it is no longer sustainable.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and replying!<br /><br />TC<br /><br />web<br />webspelunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755989655612389046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199325449028243825.post-24273337478540934212013-02-17T18:26:55.213-08:002013-02-17T18:26:55.213-08:00Janeel,

The fees are becoming more burdensome for many residents and without the ability to raise money inworld many will be affected. I truly hope that you will be able to continue. Ankh Morpork is a wondeful example of what SL can be.<br /><br />TC<br /><br />webwebspelunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755989655612389046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199325449028243825.post-12645108154324299052013-02-17T12:46:41.756-08:002013-02-17T12:46:41.756-08:00Anyone who's been in SL a year or more knows h...Anyone who's been in SL a year or more knows how ephemeral it can be. I regularly teleport around to my landmarks, and try (but fail) to keep them up to date.<br /><br />It's sad to lose the places we knew and loved, and even sadder to lose the friends we found there. But, like Real Life, loss and change is a part of SL.<br /><br />On the plus side, new and wonderful places are constantly being added! Not so much nowadays, I must admit. SL has shrunk by about a third in the last two years, and it appears likely to shrink by as much again, at least. It remains to be seen whether the virtual world as a whole can survive this down-sizing.Lindal Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167920261709382341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199325449028243825.post-77014561226658796762013-02-17T01:41:43.540-08:002013-02-17T01:41:43.540-08:00I also feel saddened when places I used to love ju...I also feel saddened when places I used to love just disappear. As for me, I said years ago that I would leave Ankh Morpork in place as long as I could afford to. I get very few tips/donations so the $250 a month is a heavy burden. And now our government is changing the disability pension to save money so, until they contact me, I don't know how I'll be affected. I just hope I can keep it going. I can't face the thought of completely rebuilding elsewhere, such as Inworldz. Too old :) Janeel Khargnoreply@blogger.com
