I'm scared. This doesn't make any sense. Hold me.

Maybe it will go away if we pretend to not pay attention to it?

I'm not so sure about that. I haven't paid any attention to it at all and it seems to be humming along all the same.

There's a lot of money spent on and earned from Second Life and it's not just the SL developers. People (players) make things and sell them for Linden dollars and turn them into real dollars. I know there are people who play There that make enough money at it that's their only job. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens with SL.

I have accounts with both games but haven't used my There account in about a year and it's been about 2 years for SL. They're both free accounts.
