There.com has reopened its doors to the public and is allowing new members to register for access to its 3D virtual world.

As of May 2, 2012, the long awaited opening of There.com to the public has taken place. Prior to this date only "legacy" members were allowed into the 3D world.., but not anymore!

Back on March 9, 2010, after a lifespan of 7 years and a 7 day notice to members, There closed its virtual world. The membership base was deeply upset and no one thought it would ever open again.

Thumdar.com chosen as suggested forums for There.com

Michael Wilson, owner and CEO of There.com, has announced on his 10-8-2011 blog entry that he "officially" suggests There.com members use Thumdar.com for its forum usage. Also of note in his blog, Michael Wilson stated the main forum link within the There 3D virtual world software will point to Thumdar.com giving There members direct access to its forums.

The virtual world There was first launched in 2003 and quickly became one of the most popular 3D virtual worlds online. Thousands of people around the world fell in love with the truly 3-dimensional virtual world and were deeply saddened when There closed it's doors in March 2010.

During the time There was closed, Thumdar.com became a haven for There members to gather and stay connected and used its forums to do so. Almost two years later, Michael Wilson decided to re-open There as a pay per-month, 18+ service.

Currently the virtual world of There is open on a beta-testing only basis with all indications pointing towards a grand opening shortly approaching.

It's with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that a truly good friend of mine, Dakotaman, passed away Tuesday, February 21, 2012. He died at the Avera Heart Hospital at Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Back on February 19, 2004 both Dakotaman and I signed up at There.com. We met that first day and were instant friends and always shared that bond which made us feel more like brothers. We both fell in love with There and the community within and tried to do what we could to improve it. I've known many people in There but very few I would say were true friends ~ Dakotaman was a true friend.

Dakota, as I usually called him, championed the There Preservation Group that was "Dedicated to improving There for all users and P.E.A.C.E. (Preserving Equal Access & Consideration for Everyone!)". He was regularly involved in community events and always tried to lend a hand whenever it was needed. Dak, as many called him, was liked by everyone due to his kind heart and sincere gentlemanly natural way. Just today a very close friend of his was saying how he always made her and their friends feel comfortable and that he was always polite.

Some of Dakotaman's close friends will be organizing an in-world (There) memorial gathering. When the exact time and location are known, I will post it here. Dakotaman was a great guy, a true friend and a well respected Therian. Let us celebrate his life and not forget him, his contributions and his causes.
