When I was born in SL it was the 1st July 2006: I was born in a beach, Phoenix Industries, no more online... I can smell the flavor of that sea, I can hear the wind of my first beach as unforgettable memories... it was a long wonderful incredible journey... full of happiness, full of that sort of feeling that you are a pioneer and that you are building a new world
I used SL for making a better world, with enthusiastic thoughts: I met wonderful people, I felt in love for a bunch of months and in 3 months I had learned all of SL
Then times of Fantasy Faire arrived, and as a pioneer I accepted that invite from Zander and yes, after 12 years I have come back to FF with a sim that is the Community Gateway for Italian People thanks to Madori invitation... So, I thank the first Governor, Phil Linden... and I thank all those has maintained SL as the home of us, pioneers and reals, tenacious avatars
I know that technology is always on the road, and I love this... I know that this road isn't easy, but if SL remains as the HOME of its residents, I know that certainly we're going to build a better world!
