Google announced that they will be shutting down Lively on 31 December.
They have unfortunately not given any reason for shutting it down though. This has also seen some communities protesting quite alot around this decision.
I quite enjoyed the initiative shown and was quite an exciting offering, quite a pity.

The Lively Users (Livelyzens as we call ourselves) are coming together to
appeal to Google to keep Lively alive.
Lively is a great platform for interaction as well as creativity. It is
easy to use, browser based, embeddable on webpages to bring a 3D experience
right on your website. While Lively has been in beta and has limited
capability in terms of the objects and avatars available, the Livelyzens
have been able to come up with very creative ways to create art from what is
available. All this in a “clean” 3D world thanks to Google’s vigilance in
getting rid of rooms with inappropriate content. More than anything, Lively
has become a place to make friends for life – from all over the world with
wonderful people.
While we are just starting to pull together our appeal plan, a preliminary
website has been set up: http://livelyzens.com and we plan to voice our
opinion and suggestions through our blog, machinima videos on our youtube
channel and more.
We request the netizens to support us in reviving a wonderful 3D world that
is a kid friendly and creative space for art and interaction amongst adults.

Why against Google?? They want to use their product, they are not against them as far as I understand ??
