I understand what you're saying, Hyacinth, I've been in Open Sim now for about 5 maybe 6 years, but I was in SL prior to that and before that AOL and SL and OS are definitely a step up from that old dinosaur, but that said, I have given up worrying about numbers and ranks because it just isn't important to me. What is important is that when people visit they enjoy their visit and want to return, and that new grid members will enjoy their membership and their region and create and design beautiful things for folks to visit and enjoy. With all the ugliness in real life it's nice to have a place where we can create beautiful and peaceful places, where we can dream a dream and watch it come to be even if it is only virtual there is a level of contentment in that. I very much enjoy my time spent in Open Sim but what I love is when other's visit and enjoy what I've made, that makes it worth it all.
