"... and welcome to another exciting edition of SLT. Today's cover story is all about LL and how they have to deal with today's latest possible DDoS. Could it be caused from several butthurt, permabanned rejects? Mining Crypto-currency? Or could it be that LL needs to stop focusing upon Sansar? Our reporters have the latest as we switch over to our reporter who is live outside LL with the latest on this developing story." Joking aside, we know this is going to take time to resolve and no one is a happy camper about it. We're certainly not happy that this problem is becoming an ongoing one, nor is anyone from LL happy about it. The best we can do is hope LL can resolve this problem or problems or they'll need to hire people who know how to resolve these problems.

I'll give a good five to ten minutes before trying again.

Ok, it's all green... yet I'm stuck at the login screen

This definitely looks like it'll be a few hours.

... and it's just gone from bad... to worse

The login server to get back onto the grids must still be down.

I am lonely... I am depressed. You can say all you want, but the reality is that besides my only two friends on SL... I'm still lonely... depressed... why? I don't choose to be lonely by choice. Get that through your head. I'm lonely because for the most part, SL makes me feel that way. I see people enjoying themselves and being happy and I wonder why can't I be like that. Here's the part some neglect... a part of our RL selves do reflect our SL selves. I never chose to be lonely, yet I am despite having two close friends. Think what you want of me... I don't care since this is the last time I'm posting on this. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time since it looks like this thread was taken over by heartless people.

I give up... I just give up :smileysad:

I leave because of the fact that I most likely had second guessed myself; and BTW... I like to feel the group out before anything else. Why do you assume that I leave because I "don't get what I want". People leave groups for a myriad of reasons. Don't ever assume people leave groups just because they don't get what they want.

Now, yes, the previous paragraph was a bit ironic, but it was also to point out a fact: groups and sims really aren’t designed to make anyone feel lonely, so if you do feel that way, why do you think that is? What happens when you go there? When you engage in the conversations taking place there, are you somehow ignored even if your contributions are just as relevant as those of the rest? Or, if no one is talking at the moment, do you begin a conversation (either in open chat or with someone in IM) and, when you do that, you are consistently ignored without any discernible reason? If you do all those things and are, in fact, ignored, do try telling us a few examples of how you try to engage in conversation, perhaps we can help you pointing out possible reasons for the apparent lack of reaction of others. And if you do none of those things and are one of those who essentially wait passively for others to talk to them, maybe it’s time for you to realize that that “feelig of loneliness” is far more the result of your own choices than the nature of the world around you. I do talk, however... you forget one vital element of a group which is inclusiveness. There are people in active groups who stick to those they know and keep everyone else at arms length. Take me for instance, I'm shy and quiet... I get that. I don't do over-the-top in anything. I'm a wallflower and a home body most of the time in SL. I've joined groups in the past and for some reason or another, I don't feel apart of the group. Right now, I feel the way I do because I can't do squat in SL but shop and make outfits and the feeling of loneliness I get when I join a group... only to leave seconds later due to it being quiet, non-inclusive or dead. So, basically... that leaves me without any groups to join or friends to make.

In nearly two years of SL, most of my time spent was either looking at my door or at shopping events or stores while making only two friends. Nearly every group I've been in... or every sim I've been on has always made me feel lonely whether it's an adult group/sim or not. It's obvious that I can't create stuff... even a simple tattoo; and all I know how to do is make outfits and shop while everyone else is able to make stuff and enjoy themselves. I just don't know what to do in SL anymore :smileysad:

Well, my SL weekends are usually dull and quiet with me just browsing through shopping events and sims until I just stand outside my home :smileysad:
