Dear Mr. Guymon,

I found Lively on launch day...and Ive been here ever since. I hadn't used a VW before and Lively's set up some how appealed. Working through the buggy issues that seems to have deterred some early users, Lively has now become a very unique product. It has so much potential and to see it shelved after 6 months is not doing the users or the team that worked so hard to raise this project and justification at all!

Lively works in different ways for different people, never before online have I witnessed a place that encourages people to express themselves and promotes individuals creativity. This is the exact reason Lively was created, to embed in your own blog or space, a way to reach out to new people or existing friends.

There is a very strong community feel on board this site. Lively links people together under one common source, and that's conversation. It allows users to sit and talk promoting new ideas for rooms and projects. It allows ideas and themes to roll on and inspire other people and the ball continues rolling. There are some awe inspiring rooms that have been created in here from very basic inventory items. There are also some very informative rooms that bring detail on certain topics direct to the Livelyzens fingertips.

Since joining in July, I am yet to meet a Livelyzen that hasn't learned something from their time on Lively. Its a font of knowledge that can only be used to yours and us the users advantage! For starters, until I used Lively I hadn't used gmail, gtalk and other Google services. It was Lively that introduced me to the services that Google provide and currently creating. What better platform than to promote other products.

Finally as Kosmik has to rightly pointed out this is a place to meet people from far and wide, to understand and learn about their own culture, language and point of view on topics. And as a friend on here just pointed out its a place to "creating and foster very real and very sincere friendships".

Keep Lively Alive!
Sincerely,
Cherrystar
