Who let users on the grid?
Remember when Linden Lab disabled assorted services on Sunday with the intention of stabilizing the Second Life grid through its weekly peak period?

Emergency shutdown for Second Life [UPDATED]
Due to unexpected problems with the asset system, Second Life underwent an emergency shutdown at 1:00PM SLT (US Pacific). Technically, the grid itself was not shut down, but logins were closed and all users were forcibly logged out in order to address the asset problems. Grid logins were restored at ...
Linden Lab struggling to keep Second Life simulators up today
It looks like yesterday's sudden fix to deployed Second Life systems might have caused more problems than it solved. In the early hours of this-morning around 3AM SLT (US Pacific), large numbers of simulators started going off the air, and not coming back online. While Linden Lab said they'd nearly ...
