Just wanted to say a quick and BIG THANK YOU to everyone for a wonderful event yesterday and OMG I am humbled by the expression of gratitude for the work by y'all!

We shall continue - lots of folks pledged their support and we are getting to the goal - and I also got some great new ideas yesterday while streaming for additional events besides the more elaborate reportage/documentary stuff! Little roundtable talks anyone? Quick eye-candy here and there, and then every 6 weeks a bigger story? Stay tuned :)

A fascinating story Drax, those 10 years probably felt much longer and you got to meet and know people from so many different walks of life, young, old, creators and people who just wanted to tell their story. Quite fascinating and even though things are changing, I hope you still find time and effort to continue documenting SL in some way, because you became an integral part of telling the world about us and the worlds and stories we create.

Don't be a stranger now!

I am humming The Doors: "People are strange when you're a stranger ...." hihihi = well in re continuing: the fundraiser is in soft launch and I will be addressing the details in Saturday's live stream. Also YOUR STORY WAS ONE OF MY FAVES of 2023 and it was a TOSS UP between you and KuLani SO CLOSE - if people are reading this CLICK HERE for COMICS MADE IN SECOND LIFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuxSKFeWSF0

I DID NOT GET THAT EMAIL ALL CAPS? Are you 100% sure you did not just send a Discord IM? You never know with these young people Diavkha, you never know. Next time you ask them to send a FAX they call you on Signal !!!!!

this is a GREAT video, made by possibly one of the GREATEST video makers of ALL TIME IN HISTORY AND THE FUTURE, only surpassed by the maker of this world who is probably the MOST TALENTED AWESOME SCARY DOLL AND BOOK NERD I KNOW 🤘🤘🤘

OMG this is truly fantastic!... wow, ten years, that's half the life of SL itself! You did a most extraordinary work which will be hard to match. But... here's to another ten years, in whatever format you might figure out that works best now :)

Oh, and I missed "Made in Second Life" at the Academy Award nominations for Best Documentary. What happened? Tsk tsk. Those Hollywooders don't know what's *quality* these days!

Well Gwyn, thank you but Academy Awards are probably giving it to Ernie Cline and his team who are creating the READYVERSE which is a virtual world where you can be whoever you want to be and ...... DANG I AM TELLING YOU I JUST WATCHED THE LAMEST JARGON OOZING SXSW presentation EVAAAA and that says a lot does it not?

Your videos have formed a unique panorama of everything wonderful about second life. I have no doubt that they have brought thousands of people to the SL world and stimulated many thousands more to engage it further. Everybody I know in second life is aware of your work and has benefited from it repeatedly. Thank you for your creativity and your determination in generating this wonderful content.

Drax I don’t think you realize how amazing you are! You are so easy going yet you ask the questions that everyone wants answers to. I was so nervous to do the piece on Ku’Lani beach but you made me realize how important it is to keep this beautiful community together in a world of so much hate, you can find peace in a virtual paradise! I am so looking forward to your future work. It was an honor to work with you my friend! Thank you for being you!

Thx Lani! And I do hope you consider supporting this project going forward. We had a great event yesterday. I was hoping to see you but maybe I missed you? Like I said I WANT TO continue but if we can't reach the goal I won't be able to. Thank you for considering!

I feel I addressed the issue and the allegations exactly how I feel about them on the live stream and also specifically the one thing in the article I verified concerning a longtime SL friend, which was truly disturbing!
