Ben,
Thanks for the links. If you want to check the original (and to my knowledge) most complete formulation of spaces of liminality (in RL, not virtual space, though), check out:
Turner, V. (1977). The ritual process: Structure and anti-structure. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.

I like the idea of virtual spaces offering a liminal space for people and communities. Calls to mind

2) The literature on anthropology. In my own research, I have found that virtual spaces tend to provide 'liminal' spaces where people can carry rituals and activities that they would not be willing or able to in RL.
