Back At Luskwood, But Where Is Everyone?

 

 It's been a while since I was last at Luskwood, my first hangout. I hadn't heard of anything new for a while. Then someone told me when they were last there, the place was empty. So I went to the big tree to check it out, around 4PM SL time, and aside from a bot, it was. 

 

The place wasn't really empty. People had been putting things up, including autumn leaves, pathways leading to places, a ramen cart, plenty of plants, and more decorations. Just none of the small crowd that was always there in the past. I did see an announcement of events at the H-Bomb club, a venue some of the Luskwood regulars have gone to. 

 

I did end up talking with Michi Lumnin the other day. She had told me she and the other founders were more busy than ever in real life. Hopefully this will change soon, she commented, and eventually get back to organizing things, and eventually new avatars.

 

Luskwood is Second Life's oldest known community which is still around, as well as the oldest line of furry avatars.
