2008

During 2008 mostly I was building up a great portal on my wiki page for residents of TSL. I helped to update the TSL Volunteers Portal, then later in the year it was featured on the SL main page wiki which was just great.

TSL November Metrics – Teen usage hours increase

Today, the new Second Life November 2008 metrics was released on the Second Life Massively page. Last month shows an increase of usage hours for the Teen Grid  from 0.29% in September 2008 to 0.32% for November 2008, which means more teens in TSL playing for longer. We can hopefully expect teen usage hours to rise, even futher for December 2008. I estimate it will rise from 0.32% to somewhere between 0.35 to 0.40 this month. We will have to wait until 2009 to find out. haha

 Below, shows statistics of the Teen Grid metrics between August 2008 to November 2008.

TSL Breaking News: Teen Second Life Manager steps down “kkthxbai!1″

Blue Linden, has just released new details today on the TSL Forums under the  TSL Announcements section, saying he will no longer be in the “Teen Second Life Manager” position for the Teen Grid anymore, which is really sad news. 

 

 Blue Linden has been a awesome Teen Second Life Manager since 2005, in (beta). I think everyone would agree with that, everyone loves Blue. http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=296969

Change is the nature of Second Life. Over the years we’ve seen Teen Second Life grow from 6 individuals, to thousands and from a few mainland regions to scores of sims, with dozens of islands run by non-profits, educators and entrepreneurial teens. In time it was no longer possible for me to handle certain tasks like land management and support for TSL expanded to include numerous lindens and teams like the Linden Land Gurus. Eventually this became the case with all teen-related issues…to the point where today there are no longer any TSL tasks on my schedule.

And so, just as no single Linden runs the main grid, there is no single Linden that runs the teen grid, and no need for the position “Teen Second Life Manager”. Eliminating this position is primarily a clerical change and will not represent a significant or even noticeable difference for teen residents. Lindens still host office hours on TSL (catch me at 4 on Thursdays in Meiji West!) and of course, I’ll still be advocating for teen residents here at the Lab and will still be available at [email]blue@lindenlab.com[/email] when not inworld.

As I’m sure you know, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being able to call myself the “teen grid guy” and work so closely with such an amazingly smart, talented, and creative group of residents these past several years. Just don’t forget me after you’ve taken over the world
