What a kick in the mouth kind of year you were. Good riddance to 2008.
That being said, Iris and I thought we would round up the most memorable drama of the year. We both sorted the year’s top posts at SCD (which ranks by number of hits) and the bits that really stuck in our heads. Without further ado – we list down to the number one drama of 2008!
10. One Bad Apple, Two Bad Apples, Three: Encore , who is quite possibly the first person to get herself kicked off of the Fashion Feed, Tessy Kaos, who effed up many shopowner’s safehavens by going all batshit, and the YOU RUINED MY LIFE! reactions from Hair Fair 08.
9. The Closing of Linden Lifestyles, one of SL’s first fashion blogs and the one most touted by the Lindens.
8. Skin Theft #3: Mallory Cowen vs. Hart Larsson
7. Skin Theft #2: Starley Thereian vs. Those Full Perm Freebie Douchebags.
6. Digit Darkes vs. Bianca F. Lulz aplenty here, folks, take home leftovers!
5. (Mostly) Anonymous Gossip Blogs that sprung up like weeds in the sidewalk – GoFugYourSL, CustomersAgainstTheft, SecondGossip, WeHateWhatYou’reWearing, SLH8, and the “Worst of the Feeds” Flickr Account, which has been disabled.
4. Banned from Armidi (Also known as, “zomg Armidi is the corporate DEVIL!” … SCD loves Armidi though, with all of our grinchy hearts.)
3. Plurk, which has introduced a whole new Drahmaz center from which to nurture and grow Dramatic Goodness. It has given us such lovelies such as The BlackMoon Fashion Drama, it assisted the Encore Drama, and we are looking forward to a 2009 Plurk-filled year. (Find Iris and Tenshi on Plurk.)
2. SL Secrets, which have had 50,000 (!!1ZOMG!!!1!1ONE!!!) hits since they began. (Submit your SL Secrets here!)
1. Skin Theft #1: , Danae vs. Minnu Palen. This one needs no further comment.
The drama we’re most looking forward to in the new year? Simone Stern vs. Legend City Online. LCO is currently holding Simone Stern’s account and inventory hostage until she pays her rent. Prad has already commented on it, and we’ve had a running discussion over at SLUniverse.
To date, (before and after the move to the new server) SCD has served 551,903 people their daily dose of Second Life Fashion and Drama. We love you guys! (Shameless plug: If YOU want your SL business to be seen by over 30,000 users a month AND GROWING, CLICK HERE!)

Weeeee! Here’s to an even more gossipy and drama-filled 2009.
Congrats on your numbers!
I learned valuable lessons from all this drama. For example, I learned from the Minnu debacle that stealing is okay as long as enough people support your claim that you didn’t do anything, even after you’ve admitted that you did do it only you “like totally” thought it was fine and not at all shady.
Tenshi, Darling, thanks for the little nod but our lovely,quiet blog has been around since 2007. We are coming upon 2 years a few days before Valentine’s Day making us 1 month older than SCD. We can have joint parties if you like.
Congratulations Shopping Cart Disco! Cheers for another entertaining new year <3
hah, Elle, come let us know when you hit the 500,000 mark and we’ll talk.
ahhh, sl drama….the gift that keeps on giving
Congrats SCD – that is no small feat
I do find myself drawn to your blog in the same way that one drives by an accident and keeps looking when perhaps you shouldn’t 
lol I also enjoy your witty, no-apology style of writing. Of course I don’t always agree with everything but you certainly keep us entertained and up-to-date. I don’t garner drama but it sure is fun to read about it 
And as for GoFugYourself which I stumbled across when they included my name in that Flickr drama, well that’s a toilet of a blog. Laural and Hardy over there are like two schoolyard bullies with a fair vocab.
Happy 2009 SCD. May this year be just as colourful DARLINGS.
Hahaha! Thanks for the mention! We didn’t mean to start the blog on an explosive note, it just kind of fell in our laps and we ran with it. *smirk* We’ll try to provide quality drama through out the next year, that’s our main resolution.
I miss Linden Lifestyles, sniffle. Sabrina, Salome, come back, come back!
“I miss Linden Lifestyles, sniffle. Sabrina, Salome, come back, come back!”
Me too… they covered stuff not seen everywhere else, and showcased a lot of nice casual stuff (versus the high fashion other blogs usually show.)
Is it wrong that I knew more about these listed items in the drama recap, than I do about hollywood or pop culture or TV?
You miss the soccer moms?
