Second Life’s Epic Fail = Plurk Pandemonium

So last night SL crashed harder then it has in a long time.  Once you were booted out of SL you were done for the night.  If you were fortunate enough to stay logged into SL you were either ruthed or stuck in the same clothes or just a portion of the clothes you were trying to put on when SL went completely highwire.  I haven’t seen a fail like this in SL in probably a year or so.  I know for me I couldn’t even get online to the website so I knew even remotely trying to log inworld was a complete Fail!  You would think that Linden would have figured out how to keep their grid stable but after almost 4 years I shouldn’t expect to  much! lol

The funny thing is that we all blew up Plurk.  Our home away from home.  It turned into pure comedy in my opinion with silly posts about SL, about peen and just talking to people we may  not talk to in world.  Plurk, our SL version of Facebook has become for some of us a part of our Second Lives and a daily place to vent, meet new people and advertise our new products.  A great place for designers to market their stores.  I know for me, I have found some new places to feed my shopping obsession in SL. 

Plurk has also been home to drama, attacking and well continuation of cliques.  While we all have a small clique we talk to or hang out with.  While I sometimes am guilty of sitting back and keeping up on a drama plurk for pure comedy I have also seen people being ripped to shreds for no reason other then people just being their usual selves, bully’s.  They do it inworld and they do it outside of it. 

I know I have contributed to some of the drama on plurk by venting my frustrations with SL or relationships in SL.  Have even deleted some that I posted due to reacting before thinking.  Interestingly enough, just like SL plurks get copied and sent around just like im’s.  Its classic SL even in plurk.  Makes me giggle that people think your plurk is so important that they have to copy and paste it to send it to others!   I’m glad that my plurks can be so important sometimes.  Yes I am being sarcastic and I’ve been called out on some of my plurks and I can and will defend myself to anyone.  But I won’t tolerate being harrassed in SL or on Plurk as no one should. 

All in all I think people enjoy plurk for what it is.  Entertainment at its best, meeting of new people, venting and support  and just like last night a place for peen.  (yes we saw a lot of that last night on plurk). 

So thank you to my plurk friends who entertained me last night while we all tried and tried to log into SL, your plurks made me giggle and I’m thankful to those that started out as plurk friends that have turned into inworld friends as well.

 

Let’s hope that SL will be stable tonight. 

Just remember:  Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you."  Just sayin!
