For the first couple of years, RL is a fantastical world that you can’t pull yourself away from, but at some point you eventually swallow the blue pill and it dawns on you that it’s just some biological and chemical functions, no matter if you call them love or fantasy or creativity.

SL and RL: it’s not what it is, it’s what we make of it.

Yep, big boss M announced he wants to get rid of 30% of the Lindens.

Looks like times will become very interesting and articles in the Herald even more.

Now … if only the other SL tabloid rags would follow suit so we don’t have to deal with people actually believing most of their drama filled, FUD spreading articles!

Never heard of them. Might explain why business is down?

I suppose it’s a good riddance, then. I mean, I can see the Herald sucker-punching everyone around including LL. But that other rag looks like they we actually trying to be legitimate.

That must be why it was fail?

I really don’t know. I myself follow three so-called “news” blogs about SL in order of legitimacy versus entertainment value. That would be Massively at the legitimate side, the Herald at the opposite and New World Notes in the middle with the tag of “meh”.

Just my own personal too-sense. Your own mileage will likely vary.

All Seeing Eye said “The bleed is developing into an arterial flow as people head to inworldz:”

I just looked InWorldz has 3513 users … 40 people on line at the moment. That seems more like a barely visible seep, rather than an “arterial flow”

“This news may come as a surprise to some Linden fanboys and certain comment section sock puppets ”

Only a group of luzers with no social life would waste their time running a virtual newspaper about the social trivia of some online computer game. Right Alphaville Herald?

“Am I the only person who was previously unaware of SLN prior to this?”

Nope, never heard of them either.
