There honestly needs to be better analysis tools here, because some of those do not accurately reflect the current state in SL.
yes there may be a spike in new registrations, and yes that spike may contribute greatly to the consistency of logged-in monthly users. but why not take into account as well how the ratio of new users versus deleted or inactive accounts ? and then compare those numbers and apply them to the rest of these graphs ?
i am sure there would be a different story. as everything, LL tries to paint a pretty picture, but to those of us who live in SL day in and day out, there is a much different and bleaker picture being seen. kind of makes me wonder about modern propaganda at times when i see this information. there is a lot here not being shared by LL, and it is obvious LL does not really care about those of us who pay $ to play. as long as there is money flowing to them, they are happy. i wonder what happens when this slows down and stops...is that when they will stand up and look around and actually realize that perhaps they should have catered to its resident more and their own pockets less ?
sorry if i sound bitter, i'm not holding back. i have not been around as long as many out there, but i do love SL, and i hate having to say goodbye to friends i have made in this world, because so many are leaving (various reasons), and LL does not seem to care at all....
