New user here, closure of second life and copybots? - WestClarkson - 02-21-2017 Just a new user here, who has heard of the rollout of Second Life 2.0 or Project Sansar, and there are rumors going around that we are going to be losing Second Life altogether. Now, I finally have made the leap to actually using a copybot, because me and even a BUILDER friend (who does use some other creators' content) don't want to lose their content! Apparently, the rumor is in 2018 or 2019 SL will be shuttered. Maybe it's just a rumor, but backups are always a good policy. This means all our assets, gone. And that's why I'm finally taking the risk and playing the copybot game.
