Second Life: Where did it all go?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but does PA still have a Second Life presence? If so, where? I like to drop in from time to time to explore, but the old PA haunting grounds seem to have vanished.

new PA home is Octopia. just plug that into SL area search.
What the fuck is Second Life and why do I keep hearing more and more about it lately?
Never really cared enough to try it out myself though.
If you are taking a phsycology class or want to see how messed up humans can get, take a gander at second life. Play your cards right, and you might even get death threats from baby furries.

Second Life is a place for furries to build furry mansions and have cyber sex.
Next question.
Did I mention he doesn't stop talking about it either?
And he gets outright OFFENDED if you suggest he should remove the articles of clothing on the female he controls.
Oh right, he's too busy doing samurai roleplay.

Think about that for a second, and then wonder, can a furry *really* do that to Captian Picard?
In Second Life you can......
Furries are really interesting people. I had a long conversation once with one where I said that baby furs into pedo-beastiality, where he disagrees. This conversation was taking place in a baby fur sim next to "soft paw magazine" advertisement showing baby furs in adult situations by "the best furry artist". Also, this furry was wearing diapers and an erect cock.

I just shrugged at it and didn't care after I thought that.
Sounds like something worth pursuing.
See, that's something I never could understand about SL. People say that SL is a thriving example of an online dynamic economy, but they never actually go so far as to tell you what powers it. I mean, they should just come out and say that porn is the driving force behind Linden Lab's diablolical creation. It's not like half the gaming world that knows about SL doesn't already know that already. They should at least give newcomers to gaming (I can just see some young business man booting up SL expecting to make a fortune and emerging from his room, his face drawn, and his hair white from what he's seen an hour later.) an idea of what to expect when you log in. I mean hell, any way you put it this game is freaky. From the baby furs to the goreans to the BDSM types, this game can scar you if you aren't mentally prepared for that sort of stuff.
The thing is, SL is more then that, and there are quite a few things that power the economy besides sex, mainly vanity. In SL I do tech support for a SL bank "Ginko Financial", which is a sort of a simplified bank. People deposite there money to earn interest on a daily bases or so they don't touch it. It's by no means a full time job on my part, usually 20 or so minutes a day gets me $60 bucks a week. There are even certain groups that get paid by big businesses {Best Buy and the likes} to build in SL and in general just advertise. Some of the companies fork over a decent amount of money and get pretty elabrote with their set ups.

Wait, $60 in real money? O_o
From what I gather, you basically spend money to get game money. It's basically like a foreign currency with price fluctuations and all. So you can spend money to get game money or spend game money to get real money. But that's just what I've read.
I like to think of it like WoW's gold traders, but with more furries.
Yeah. Some of the best content makers make up to $400 or so a week. You can make even more if you are really good and do custom jobs or contacted by big businesses. You can possibly make a career and a living out of Second Life.

No results come up.
The sim is Seonbawee. Go into the map and type that in the sim box.

Edit: yes, thats probly it. Its a floating city with a giant spider cat thing for some reason.

SL is going is in the middle of a rough patch right now. It just needs a bit of time for itself to sort everything out. People will come back when there's not so much turmoil.
Taken just two minutes ago.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Is there any more to this story?

Well to be fair, SL fell apart about a year and a half prior. Believe it or not, SL used to be 95% sex free. Events weren't "Best ass in red heels", they were "You have 25 minutes to build a robot from scratch. Who ever makes the best one wins 500L, second 250, thrid 100", which was really fun when you are poor. It was fun even when you weren't poor, because people weren't socially retarded back then. This was also a time when most people in SL didn't even know what a furry was, and when the furries weren't going around with erections.
Just a side note though, the island price hike didn't really change much. In fact, I heard that there are still a huge flood of sim purchases happening and that LL is behind getting all the servers up to run them. By december, the landmass in SL will increase over 25% {I think that was the number. Might of been more.}.

I think a large reason for my distaste was the fact I hate the way the original chara model looks, and had no idea just where to look for another one.
Good show, old bean.
It also looked like it had a dash of toilet mixed in its heritage.
No you silly homp, it's mainly because little subgroups (cliques even?) that were previously formed have become increasingly divided, making it so people don't hang out at the same place anymore. Where as we used to all be at Ginko PA like one big happy fambly, we've been fractured by places like Octopia and Shi's Place (hooray city made from bought buildings) and Shipton and etc. Also, people are dumb.
Shame too, with the year anniversary of our first great wave coming up in like a month.
EDIT: If you come to play SL with us, people of the thread, don't make it your single mission to hunt down furry fetishers. There's loads of other neat things to do but that seems to be the big draw lately.
