Opensim has always been the home of the creative and more tech savy persons.
With the advent of Dreamgrid software and the likes, it makes it easier for the less tech savy person, to create their own grid and the availability of free land on the multitude of grids makes opensim attractive for a lot of ex SL peeps.
We will always have what I call "Transient people", the ones that come in, take a free parcel, do their house, and decorate, get bored a month or two later and move on - this will always happen.
But the creative people have a passion for making stuff that is useful and fun - this is what keeps them here. I also feel if people have a sense of ownership - being part of a team, or a community - that will keep them interested and busy.
I am always busy - I have millions of things to do, my brain won't stop. I build, script, dabble in mesh, graphics - and I have a great circle of friends in other grids as well, that I can bounce ideas off.
But sadly, not everyone has the creative bug, and need to be entertained to get their jollies, and sadly, there is only so many ways to be entertained, until some other interest takes over for them.
The fix - get creative, network with others, expand your horizons.
There is much more out there, than your parcel of land, or your lonely little grid with a few regions on it.
Get out and connect with people.
This message is for those that find themselves bored with opensim - get out there and do stuff.
