Remember when Second Life was fun?

Yeah, I'm going to have to admit I don't see the allure. My time online is better spent killing stuff or exploring areas I've never seen before not paying a virtual mortgage and financing furniture for my virtual house.
I used to like Second Life, before the Lindens gave up on caring and consecutively stole the very liberties that made the game enjoyable.
As to the banking issue, it seems the Lindens are using the same old response they use to all their problems; ban anything remotely connected to the problem and never look back.
So far, that's banks and casinos.

That's pretty much the knee-jerk response of the moderators of all the big online gaming communities nowadays. What does it say about the internet gaming industry when the friendliest and most openminded MMO out there is Sociolotron?J-Val said:
The only gaming communities where the mods are actually encouraging is the tiny ones, where there are only a couple of games to play. Lux (Sillysoft), for instance, has only a hundred plus change regular online players, and the mods there are nice. I suppose it helps that they're not ridiculously overworked and harrassed every day, like the mods on the larger sites, but still, it's a very informal place, and it actually works. If it grows, I suppose it'll get more trolling and the mods will have to crack down more, which will lead to rebellion and accusations of unfairness, and it'll turn into another flame war. So I'm NOT advising you all to play Lux, since it's best if the user base stays small.
No.

What?
EDIT: *becomes a victim of a badly timed mistype of enter*
AHEM, anyway. I'm a MMO girl all the way, but the sheer "Buy stuuuff!" commercialism really never drew me in regardless. Frankly, it invited the problems it's getting.

I never understood that thing myself. You can own property, make things to sell, talk to people. You can do those things pretty easily in the real world! I read an article interviewing a young woman claiming to earn her living as a Second Life prostitute charging 500 Linden dollars for thirty minutes. Setting aside the absurdity of virtual prostitution, that's about $4 US per hour if she stays fully, um, engaged. I think Second Life must eat your math and/or logic skills.
Just for grins and giggles, anybody coined "LindeNazi" yet?

mmo's like WoW and city of heroes had something that was different and fun, but second life doesn't seem like anything special.
plus the graphics don't look much better than runescape.
