So I was dropped a link to read about There.com closing, and I was like YAWN “Wasnt it on the brink of dying 6 years ago?” Cuz that’s about the time I jumped off that ship.
Back around 2004, Second Life opened its doors to Thereians. And the flood of residents leaving that virtual world were offered the small luxury of creating an avatar with the last name of Thereian. Designer greats like Starley Thereian and Lost Thereian came out of that woodwork and were prolly among the pioneers that blew up the fashion biz in SL. As in, made awesome stuff some would punch their mama in the ovaries for. Maybe I exaggerate. I miss their presence in SL.
I also came from There. I didn’t do much in that place save flutter about on hoverboards, hoverpacks, and the dune buggys or whatever they were called. Operating those things worked better in that game than in SL.
I won’t be surprised if SL’s management made the decision to entice the residents from There again. It’s been done before. As of this post, there’s still 72 Thereians in SL. Sadly, I have no pics from There.com since they died along with my 2004 PC.
I miss Lost and Starley too and would be very interested to see what they would do with the new viewer. But hey who knows maybe they are already under an alt, weeeeee!
