OK, my Final Guess:

Building upon the
HUGE
success of the new JIRA system, there will be a new Forum format. 

Only you and the Moderators will be able to view your own Forum Posts.

 

LOL!!  

 

Wow two posts that literally made me LOL in one thread!  That never happens.

OK. I hope it could be something that is good or useful or interesting, like a new feature, or an integration of an existing product.

I better wait until on or after 16:00 EST/13:00 SLT this Friday 2012.11.09-Fr in which it's the NYSE/NASDAQ/TSX close, ending the week on the stock markets, and it could be announced on CNBC and/or CNN and/or other news media since someone said it could be major story on the first forum post aka topic starter.

I better watch CNBC and CNN at 16:00 EST this Friday and check the websites for the announcement and monitor the Linden Lab press releases, Second Life blog, SL Grid status, Linden Lab Twitter account, Second Life Twitter and Facebook feeds and the Linden Lab CEO's Twitter and Second Life feeds.

I'm predicting that Linden Lab may be filing an IPO for NASDAQ or NYSE during that time also, but anything can happen this Friday.

I have something very very big concerning the forums. It's going to be announced probably on Friday. It's going to be very big. Bigger than anybody would know. I'd announce it today but some people in the US are a bit distracted and not ready ATM, frankly, for something as big as this.

It better be BIG, or I'm going to be pissed.

I've got it!

Something big/huge is going to be announced, so what's big/huge? That brown dwarf that's heading our way isn't a brown dwarf at all - it's a brown giant! That's huge so I'll beat him to it...

It's a brown giant!

There. I've announced something big/huge/bigger than anyone would know.

Anyone.

That's what you think, but I'm pretty sure I know: SL economic statistics will not be released on Friday, with lavish grid-wide celebrations marking the nth quarter for which they have not been released.

I'm right, aren't I?  Admit it!

Bloomberg - Friday 9 November

Linden Research Inc., creators of Second Life virtual world, announced today that they have been acquired by CCP Games of Reykjavic, Iceland. Hilmar Petursson, CEO of CCP Games, makers of EVE Online, DUST and World of Darkness, said in a press interview this morning, "We believe very strongly in the future of virtual worlds not only as roleplay/game environments, but as unscripted, immersive spaces with huge social and economic potential. We realized this during development of World of Darkness, although EVE itself is unscripted. The next step was to embrace user-generated content and we felt that acquiring Second Life was the logical step."

Dave Bland, Bloomberg: "Considering the competitive gaming culture of CCP, isn't Second Life an unusual purchase? Some would say the two are incompatible."

Petursson: "Actually, no, they are compatible, though they do occupy different spaces in the market. EVE is actually a very social game, unscripted, involving much cooperation among players. We have a huge fan base that has evolved into a global community."

Bland: "But spaceships and care bears are not likely to mix very well."

Petursson: "Ha, well, we have that term in EVE, 'care bears', and they do mix, generally speaking, if by 'care bear' you mean economic agents producing goods and services for the economy."

Bland: "Do you plan to merge the grids?"

Petursson: "No, not at the beginning anyway. Our goal is to build on Linden Lab's expertise with user-generated content, feeding some of the technology into World of Darkness, though we have our own Carbon technology for avatar design. Eventually, we would like Second Life to be a model of planetary development in high-sec. Multiple world economies and societies spread out through New Eden."

Bland: "You literally want to create a virtual universe..."

Petursson: "Yes, by acquiring Linden Lab and eventually integrating hyper realistic social and economic conditions into New Eden, we believe CCP can be the Microsoft and Google of the next generation."
