The fall of FurNation and FurNation Prime
16 years ago
Maybe I'm hit a little harder than I should be by this whole thing. It may not have been FurNation that helped and supported me when I was introduced to Second Life. But it was some of its members that followed in its core beliefs.
Perhaps we just need a stronger oath. It is written on the last line of the Declaration of Independence;
This wasn't just a poetic ending, it was a testament of how devoted they were to their beliefs.
Maybe all we're forgetting is what a community is defined by. In biological terms, a community is a group of interacting organisms sharing an environment. In most sentient communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions are usually present and common. These conditions affect the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.
These conditions are not to be burdened by a few in the community but by all.
If we continue to neglect the others of our community we become individuals and are no longer part of the community. Who will you look to for guidance, Who will you look to for support. These people are what made you what you are today, or what you want to become.
If this is not the case then you are not part of this community.

Softly floating in the sky outside the window
Everybody's eyes are closed
I can't see why I miss you so
Don't... don't be shy
Don't be... terrified
Time is flying like an arrow
And the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow
And it makes the pages of the calender go flying out the window one by one
Til a hundred years are on the front lawn
And the old familiar things are mostly all gone
Don't be burdened by regrets
Or make your failures an obsession
Or become embittered or possessed
By ruined hopes remember
If that honey would come back
We would throw such a party
Drink and cook the prodigal son
Fondue forks for everybody
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just...
You're never only just... you know
They don't need me here, and I know you're there
Where the world goes by like the humid air
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away
And the truth is, we don't know anything
