Rivet Town's owner and manager, Grace Loudoun, announced recently that her roleplaying sim set in a steampunk reality will close at the end of March. For the full text of her message, I refer you to Miss Easterman's blog. Ms. Loudoun's reasons are financial in nature; the community did not generate enough rental and shop income to sustain itself. In tough economic times, I suspect SL may be the first thing to go. I saw an interesting statistic about the number of islands being returned to Linden Labs not that long ago; it was quite an eye-opener. I suspect it will be going up in months to come.

Tell us more about the interesting statistic?
If memory serves me rightly, Miss Tateru Ninu? published a statistic on the increase of 'defaulted' or returned private islands about a month or more back, in massively.com. It was a comparison between the monthly statistic from six months prior and the monthly statistic right after open sim price hikes were announced. The spike was rather dramatic. Again, going off memory here, but I'm reasonably sure it was there.
