Where do the people that use the deathnote go after they die?

Ryuuk also said that the shinigami realm is a bearan waste land and bearan means empty and empty means noting so I win

they go to the shimigami world as hinted in the beginning by ryuk telling kira, dont think you can go to heaven or hell after using the deathnote. and in the directors cut version they show you kira as a shinigami. to identify kira you must pay attention in it. =]

purgatory i belive

And don't think anyone that has used the Death Note can go to Heaven or Hell-Ryuuk

Maybe they end up somewhere worse than hell that's what there souls are damned means
