Egads! In my last hobotacular article, I discussed Hobo Island, a hot-spot of awesome hoboportions,
a place I suggested that all manner of people could come together and enjoy an awesome location with a variety of interesting and exciting things to do. This is true. Still. Very, very, true. But like all great things, Hobo Island is a complicated thing, like an onion with many layers. One of the most important thing that it contains, something relatively new but entirely awesome, is something called the Gateway Program. Essentially, the Gateway Program is something put into place to assist new residents of the grid with learning how to become valued members of the Second Life community.
There is a certain class of people so terrible and yet, so awe inspiring, that lurk in the shadows of the grid. A certain class of people who could disembowel you with a salad fork, while simultaneously gibbering incoherently. No, dear readers, I am not talking about who you think I am talking about, unless you think I am talking about hobos! Yes, hobos! Homeless people, living off the land, fending for themselves in the concrete jungle. Imagine what would happen if these tragic, yet amazing, individuals took over a whole urban block. Well, okay, you don't have to. Not anymore.
