A few days ago, Ryan Schultz, a noted blogger about Second Life and other virtual worlds and VR technology, announced there would be no more posts on his blog.
I’ve had a good run, but it’s time for me to close this blog after a little over seven years and three months. It’s time.
Please know that it has been an honour, a
joy, and a privilege to write about a subject that I loved: virtual
worlds, social VR, and the metaverse, plus virtual and augmented reality
in general. This blog has opened many doors for me, and I am truly
grateful for the experiences I have had.
Thank you for your comments, suggestions,
encouragement, and feedback throughout the years. I have made many
friends and acquaintances in many virtual worlds, and I hope that our
paths cross again soon, either via the metaverse or in real life.
I will be offline for a while, but I hope
to be back soon. I doubt it will be a blog, though. Perhaps something
different; I don’t know what yet.
Be well. Keep each other warm in a cold world. I love you all.
In his post before, he stated was staking an indefinite break, saying he was too busy with the demands of real-life. In the post before that, he had stated his job at a university has undergone quite a bit in recent months. His last post about technology was on October 1, with two posts in August. On July 4, he announced there would be fewer posts "for the forseeable future" due to his job.
Ryan Schultz was a blogger about Second Life, often posting about mesh avatar accessories and outfits. But he didn't limit himself to Second Life, starting off as a blogger about Sansar when it was owned by Linden Lab, calling it the "Sansar Newsblog" at the time. But in January 2018, he briefly suspended writing following
a dispute with Linden Lab about a story he did on one of Sansar's locations, later renaming it the Ryan Schultz blog as part of Linden Lab's complaint was about the blog's name. He would also write about VRChat and other virtual worlds, as well as VR Gear.
Ryan Schultz did hint he would be back in some form. But it looks like he won't be with the blog he made a name for himself in Second Life media.
