Nanci Barthelmess Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thank you for everything you've done, Oz. I first joined SL almost 14 years ago, and after taking almost a decade-long hiatus it was nice to see how my favorite virtual world had gotten better while I was gone. You will definitely be missed, and it will be nice to see your fingerprints all over the world for a long time to come. I hope you aren't leaving SL completely, and I know your friends inworld will always welcome you, whether you are officially a Linden or not. Enjoy the next part of your life, whatever it ends up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hexem Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not gonna sugarcoat it. This is 100% bad for SL. Oz is one of the good ones. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monderas Bristol Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 A long, long time ago, I can remember you helping me out personally when I had a problem with something. Thank you, Oz for all you've done for Secondlife. Have a great retirement! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwin LeShelle Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Awww now I am crying. Let's be honest we all have our faves among the Lindens and Oz always was mine, I have a second and third fave tho...I am also happy for you to be able to retire and I really hope that this part of your life is happy as possible and that you can go on all the adventures you always dreamed of. You were always there for us residents and even in the forums you always showed that you care for us residents, and take what we say into consideration. I hope whoever will be wearing your boots (reading too much Pratchett and we'll your name is a clearly a wizard name) after you left is at least as half as committed and loveable. You for sure left your mark on the grid 💕 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Mistwalker Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 He's done more than leave his mark on the grid. Oz has touched thousands of lives in ways he will never know. For that, we are all grateful. And for the ways he has touched my life that I am unaware of, I am grateful. 💖 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritigern Gothly Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 3 hours ago, Oz Linden said: half my interviews were in-world using an account I'd had for some years I'm fairly certain that nobody, other than a select few, knows the resident name of that account. So, assuming you still have that account knocking around, I hope we can still keep your presence in our midst. Even if we don't know that Avatar Lastname is the person formerly known as Oz Linden, it would be great if we were to know that you are still spending time in-world, enjoying fishing, or building, or sailing or... or... being an exotic dancer if that happens to be your speed Just don't COMPLETELY leave us, okay? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Brody Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Wishing you the best in retirement Oz, after clearly always giving your best. The fact you were basically put in charge of all things SL, while the lab sansarad around speaks for itself, and I will always be grateful you got SL through: stonger, better and cloudier!

Elicea Igaly Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks for being there. I never met you, but I know you are one of THE BEST Lindens. All the best to you going forward as you advance into a new creative future. Of course, I hope YOU don't leave SL. This is the perfect time to be here with more leisure time. *huggies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Amore Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Never met the guy but I guess he was one of the greats at LL The question is, who's gonna be replacing him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alma Palmira Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thank you, Oz. I have fond memories of your accomplishments at LL. Remember, Lindens don't retire, they change their name, hang up their teddy bears, and become Zindra appliance mentors. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairreLilette Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Happy trails, stay well, and I hope you enjoy your gift I'm sending you. Hint: It's the thought that counts. The Dinkies and tinies made via the SL platform have been one of the best experiences of my life and I will always cherish those memories. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to the Wizard. Many happy days in your retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Mathieson Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Congratulations on your retirement and best wishes for many happy and healthy days to enjoy it.
