TSL Winter Season 2008 Landmarks

November 28, 2008 Daniel Voyager Leave a comment

It’s official, winter has arrived on the Teen Grid and it’s the most exciting time of the year because christmas is coming up very soon. TSL Winter Flickr set: Click Here - new snapshots will be added here shortly….Share your Christmas snapshots with the Christmas in Second Life flickr group today, with over 290 members and growing.

Many residents of the teen grid have been already started to get ready for christmas, you can check out them places right now. I’ve created a list of places where you can go to enjoy the snow, christmas season, go ice-kating and to get many freebies too. Finally, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy yourself. Take a few friends with you to these locations and enjoy the winter season while it last’s. I think there will be a special TSL snowball fight later next month, keep your eyes open for updates.

Transmissions From TSL

November 28, 2008 Daniel Voyager Leave a comment

Arwyn Quandry, a member of TSL, created a Teen Grid, Transmissions From TSL wordpress blog. The blog includes some interesting posts about grid serparation and new statistics for Teen Second Life.Since the start of year, there have been rumor’s about a possible grid merge. There have been many teen grid resident posts on blogs, debates, surveys, protest, TSL Forum threads and discussions about it.

Here is why….TSL Age-Verification links.

Many residents of the community have said they don’t like the idea of a grid merge and some do support merging grids. The final decision is upto Linden Lab at the end of the day, to decide the future of Teen Grid etc. All we know is that Linden Lab have been thinking about the possibilities of it, but nothing said if it’s still going ahead or not.

TSL & SL Mentor Applications – Update 2

November 27, 2008 Daniel Voyager 2 comments

Latest News

  • Second Life Mentor applications have been closed since June 08 time.
  • In July 2008, I posted about the TSL Volunteer Program and status of members, you can view that here. And check out my previous update post about applications – update 1, here.
  • There has been no news of when applications will open again for new mentors.
  • TSL Mentors 2.0 members have been dropping at a alarming rate and they can’t access the TG Orientation Island or TG Help Islands. There have been no TSL Mentor meetings or group notices or updates on the TSL-VTeam blog.
  • In March 2008, there were 260 TSL Mentors and today there are 219 TSL Mentors.
  • I’ve been told, that there used to be over 36-37K SL Mentors on the MG and now there is 18K of SL Mentors.

=============================================================

Teens and Adults can’t sign up to join the volunteer program because it pops up with this message:

Volunteer Info

In our continuing effort to make the Second Life Volunteer program the finest in Second Life, we have adopted new processing steps for Apprentice mentors to advance from Apprentice to full Mentor. Recently, our application processing rate has dropped to accommodate these changes. Rather than let the application list grow at its present pace and force residents who desire to participate in the Volunteer program to wait weeks if not months to hear from us, we have decided to stop accepting applications until we have processed the list of residents currently in the pipeline. Thank you for your patience.
