[6:23] Brent Linden: Good morning Second Life. We’re sorry but we need to shut down the grid to investigate a permissions exploit. Please see blog.secondlife.com for updates while we work on this. Thanks for understanding, and see ya soon 
Ten seconds after this pops up, you have been logged out by an administrator, and the world turns grey. Great. Just great. So much for my plans to finish my new miniature railroad (it’s in my picks).
When will Linden Lab learnt how their product works? If you’re in the middle of building something, you can’t just drop everything at a few second’s notice. If you tried to save a long script, it probably got destroyed in the shutdown. If you were in a sandbox, you didn’t get a chance to take a copy of your work, and it’ll be gone in the wipe by the time you get back.
If it’s not an exploit, its a self replicating grid attack. It’s happening almost daily. It’s just not good enough, and even worse for those of us who pay for the privilege of being here.
Maybe once we reach the ‘magic million’, they’ll actually spend some time in making the grid more secure and resilient to these sort of issues.
