“…and what? sl ISN’T cartoon like? Get a f’n grip!”

I agree. Most don’t take the time or have the skills to create good content. However, there are many who can and do and not all of it
is “cartoonish”. The real reason people come back to SL (or had in the past until this last year), was that they had an admiration for others work, creativity, and achievements. SL does have its realistic and progressive side if that is what you are interested in. If not, it certainly has it’s share of cartoon type of work.

Real and adult like is the key. That looks like a “game” for adolescents. If SL was trying to attract with the look of the Jetsons, it wouldn’t have worked at all either. Artists create “real” looking items. And the closer and more realistic it is, the better.

Maybe Google should have taken a closer look at what people wanted before creating a kids game. A cartoon won’t work with adults for the most part. The more realistic, the more creative, the better.

Can’t shed any tears over the loss of this flop, and I’m already over-saturated on Google goodness.

Lead the way! Toss the computer out & join a survivalist sect to prepare for the end of civilization.

As the U.S. and Global economies go – so does the virtual rip-off!
/
Multi-trillion dollar devaluation of retirement accounts. About 70% of working Americans have some sort of retirement savings. Many see balances less than half of what they had in Dec ’07/Jan ’08.
Job losses totalling more than 1 million and projected to approach 2 million in the U.S. – just this year alone.
Interest rates (= cost of money) are tanking worldwide. Even saving doesn’t pay anymore.
Personal Savings Rate (rate at which folks save a part of their after tax dollars) in the U.S. is not just zero but effectively NEGATIVE if you consider the lack of saving coupled with the huge amount of borrowing (money borrowed on second mortgages as one example) and now the evaporation of those previously perceived HIGH home VALUES which wipes out the 2nd mortgage VALUE.
Home values in the U.S. averaging 60 – 70% of what they were at the most recent peak; some markets experiencing a greater than 50% drop in value since ’05.
Price of OIL on the slide and projected to hit as low as $30 to $40/barrel in the coming months.
The cost of war = approx. 10 Billion/month to the United States – just for Iraq.
/
~ all in all ~
/
The perception of WHAT is VALUABLE is dramatically changing worldwide.

You’d best re-think your strategy of where to put your money!

You’d best re-evaluate what constitutes VALUE in entertainment and discretionary spending!

You’d best get back to basics and ditch the virtual bullshit!

You’d best GET REAL
and get a f’n grip!
