Tripp Foxtail, the man behind the "Elsewhere in Second Life" blog, was also the person behind a few locations in Second Life in the Ulyanovsk Oblast sim, notably the Travelers Station. It's entry in the Destination Guide had this description:
This notice was sent out today to all groups & individuals involved with my virtual businesses. This has been a very emotionally difficult decision for me, but my declining health combined with diminishing financial situations, that are out of my control, force me to take this action.

Dear Friends & Travelers,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you of the closure of Travelers Station, Travelers City, Travelers Square, Hooligan Hill Farm, The Docks, and The Salvage Yard Research Facility.
The Ulyanovsk Oblast Region will be returned to Linden Lab on August 20th.
Thank you for your patronage. It has been a pleasure providing these public spaces for you. I hope you will all continue to stay curious and enjoy your travels in Second Life.
-Tripp Foxtail

Our real world is changing so rapidly. We are walking through some very dark times. Hold on to hope during this passage, hold on to each other and remember that everything eventually changes and that love always wins in the end.

"We are walking through some very dark times." The MAGA moral maggots would disagree. They think they are in the best times of their lives.
ReplyDeleteNot once was there any comment made about politics, but personal problems leading to this decision. it's kind of a cheap shot to take their problem and try and twist it into your own personal political platform, when we should be concerned Trip's condition and hope for their best resolution of their problems.
ReplyDeleteTrip, I am so sorry you are having to close your dream, I know it was a very hard decision for you, and one that broke your heart. I hope that one day you will be in a position where you will be able to bring it back with you once again and I wish you the best of luck!
