The first time I used Dotsoul was probably some time in 2006. At that time it was quite busy. Dotsoul was (as far as I know) the first public virtual universe using ActiveWorlds version 4.1 to allow building. Many users of the main ActiveWorlds universe wanted to try all the new features before 4.1 was released to the main universe, which didn’t happen until much later.

Dotsoul was a great place to hang out and I met quite a few new friends there. I was sad to see that the world went offline some months ago and now the website is gone as well. All there is on the website is a login screen.

When I first tried to find out what happened to Dotsoul I was told that it would be back soon, but I guess it never happened. Does anyone know what happened to Dotsoul?
