SL: Glorious Leader Nexxus

[Kindrift]

FurNation owner/administrator Nexxus has officially left Second Life and given the title of FN's game land to local celebrity Corsi.  The transfer was completed last night, ending any visible influence Nexxus has on FurNation Worlds.  The message was mailed to all members of the FurNation community:

Hello all.
Tue Nov 27 23:26:30 2007

I have transfered ownership of the FurNation Community Group to Corsi Mousehold. It has been a pleasure to have started and maintained the largest single group in SL. Corsi will be a fine owner of the group, and I am sure he will run it well.

I will make one last announcement tonight before I finalize the transfer of FurNation Prime to its new owner. Thanks for your time.

Years of complaints levied against Nexxus over the years -- credible and documented -- supposedly prompted the release of power.  Nexxus banned himself from most areas of FurNation in a show of good faith: "I no longer have ANY power of any land in FurNation Worlds, nor can I get into any area except for th Pony Club and the Luxor in Prime (I am estate banned from all sims). [...] The estate ban is so that no sim owner can accuse me anymore of trying to take over their sims, or making any changes to the estate controls. I set it myself before I left all the groups."  He later confirmed that a fight had broken out and drama had occured with the statement that "There is NO drama here." Any fears that furries would be allowed to regain independant thought were later allayed by Corsi:

As it stands as most of you have heard, Nexxus is leaving Second life. However I am not. Neither are the other sim Owners. furNation Worlds will still be here. We will still support the furry community. We will still be hosting the most trafficed furry sims in Second Life. We wil continue to provide you the places like The Ark and the Sandboxes, The Luxor and the Pony Club. Club Fur and the FurNation Mall are not going anywhere. Nothing is going to change. We will always be here for you.

A series of transactions through March, April, and May transferred a number of sims to Corsi which gave him control over most of FurNation by last summer, yet through Corsi, Nexxus maintained de-facto control over the area.  What this means is that we don't count on Nexxus really being out of everyone's business for good, and that these people desperately need a hobby outside of virtual Machiavellian pre-teen animal person chess.

Anyone who takes Second Life this fucking seriously needs to end their First Life.

Corsi scares the hell out of me...

I obviously missed all the drama but one thing to bring up is that for the past year and a half Nexxus has more than involved in his new furnation comic publishing. I can't help to think that even though drama plays a part in it maybe he is more or less bored with FN: the SL experience, realizing that he isn't turning a dime with SL at all and decided to refocus his energy into something more profitable.

something more profitable.

We've got funny ideas of profitable here in the furry world.

If you are insinuating that shit like subby tweaker twink foxes with bulges in their pants bigger than John Holmes' and sex craved Care Bare's isn't gonna sell like pocky at a Anime Con then, you sir, obviously completely were not paying attention at last years FC. In all my attentiveness though my years of con going I have come to one conclusion.

Convention is another word for place where people can go once a year to blow as much as they can on shit that gets them off. Anime and Furry alike. I actually bet that half the shit posted there manages to trump the piss poor cheesecake yaoi that most people peddle at places like AX and manage to make a small fortune on.
If people like Bernal can manage to make a entire living on paysites where he pass' off the same char with different ears/tail/coloring in the same 8 poses over and over then I think Nexxus in all his ambassador ways can rake his fortune in over subpar boner mags as long as he puts what he knows the boys want on the cover.
