Saying Goodbye

/ LisaButtmonkey@TheDirtyGrindSL / Leave a comment

Hi:)

We are sorry to announce that The Dirty Grind Independent Artist Community, Radio Grind, The Dirty Blog and our satellite locations will permanently close after shows on the 21st of December of this year, 2022.

We have enjoyed hosting the project for over 11 years. Ian and I can no longer justify the great personal financial expense and time it takes to continue. We will miss you all and cherish your friendships.

Of course, I (Lisa) will continue to retain the copyrights and IP on the The Dirty Grind Independent Artist Community, Radio Grind and all associated branding.

We deeply appreciate our association over the years and will remember this time fondly.

Hugs and love,

Lisa and Ian

Jo Yardley's Second Life

I’ve written before about how I think that the bad reputation SL has is a problem and about how I think that LL should work on improving it.

As far as I am concerned it is a big deal that so many outsiders think that SL is either dead or that it is a cesspit of filthy perverts and shallow people who just want to look like barbie.

Don’t get me wrong, SL IS both those things, but it is so much more.

I think that LL and the SL users need to work on getting SL a better reputation.

Not only do we have to make people realise that SL offers so many different kinds of entertainment, art, social interaction, etc, but also that it has some pretty amazing graphics that really are not as bad as those 2007 screenshots you see with every article seem to suggest.
