		<description>this is basically a dupe of the previous &quot;SL IS DOOMED!!!11&quot; article with a different twist.

I bet you could compare SL to neopets or zwinky or whatever the site of the day is for TEENYBOPPERS who basically flood the internet until around 18-20 when they start getting bogged down with real life. SL is filled with anti-social people who are older than 18 (and some 16-18 year olds)who lack a real life to begin with.

so naturally SL is going to have lower ratings.

Also, you dont need two articles to state the obvious.

SL has been dying since the dust from all the hype settled sometime around last may. When the old media stopped churning positive reports.

say the worlds &quot;Owning Virtual Land and Virtual Products&quot; in your head and contemplate the meaning behind that.

that&#039;s why the hype is dying. everyone realizes that&#039;s bullshit. especially when it&#039;s all run under one entity.

		<description>WE Brits have never heard of these &quot;webkinz&quot; thingys
nor the term plush toys


So what we are talking about here is the American perception of life, which
as we all know is the only life on the planet

		<description>&gt;if LL had put it to a vote, to shut down for two weeks
&gt;and re do the basics correctly then start again

WOT! Two weeks? Do you have even a clue what would be involved in the type of &quot;...re do the basics...&quot; or &quot;...fix the underpinnings.&quot; - the perscription you are advising - assuming that is what&#039;s needed - would take months not two weeks! Obviously this is a key point of misunderstanding and of course, who would be against taking two weeks SL being down if it meant having it come back up all shiny and working properly. Two weeks - SURE, let&#039;s go. But it won&#039;t be two weeks.

		<description>Hehehe stupid statistics. I&#039;m away to finish building an extension, redecorate and then have a party with some friends in the failed and dying SL. Hard selling corporations have nothing to offer me in SL and I didn&#039;t notice them arrive and never noticed them leave!
