Shocking the first time it happens, my condolences.
My first was the first place I ever saw, back in the days when you laughed at people owning... virtual property!
Down past a ravine in a Japanese themed aim...
Some builders dreamhouse... Across from the dreamhouse he lived in...
It became party central, a haven for all sorts of SL friends.
Parties around the pool out back and live music.
On the day it became a blank grassy SL field, abandoned, the shock hit us all. Tons of people tp'd in, were sad, stayed to party a bit in the open field, then we drifted off.
In more ways than one.
But it's SL, my friend. Keep the party going in other places.
