If things got crazy, we could go back. I seem to have gone to forums and the blogosphere. Goreans could go back to IRC or ActiveWorlds, and other genre fans could go to MMORPGs specific to their interests. Seriously many of us could just go to WoW.
I think I agree with you. But I think the management of SL simply doesn't (or didn't, as the case may be...) grok that.

I've also developed some serious doubts and concerns surrounding the efficacy of a platform like SL ever becoming a standard for online experience...which was one of the major aspirations for SL from the get-go.
