I keep offering to teach him all about RLV, but he never takes me up on it. No, what it says on his profile is essentially, "tell me something I don't know" -- at least that was how it was years ago when I came up with something for him and got the bear. Now, here is the exact wording, which pretty much anyone should be able to do, and he's likely going to be in a generous spirit about interpreting it these last few days! Yes, I have a Linden Bear, but to get one you'll have to show me something cool in Second Life that I've never seen before (that's not as hard as you think).

It takes Oz retiring to drag me out of Lurking on the forums for years and to finally make a post . Farewell Oz, have a great time in your retirement. and don't forget the Memo to your successor; "NO Mirrors in Second Life ! " coz you know that at the very first TPV meeting after you leave , some joker will ask your sucessor " What about those Mirrors that Oz promised? " I never heard that story! Wouldn't it be funny, if after Oz left, all the mirrors in SL suddenly started reflecting? Or maybe once a year, on February 26... Or maybe just his reflection might appear for an instant in a mirror, and be gone... I have one in my shop doing this already!

EnCore Mayne Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 it was seriously emotional viewing your get away party on the Lab Gab. feeling the genuinely loving sentiments your leaving had on the few speakers brave enough to risk totally losing it (i'm glad i'm able to hide behind this keyboard) reflects well on your immense impact. there are people who come into your life for who knows what purpose. as you get to know them you enjoy their unique and formidable character and go about your life relying on their gifts. and when the time comes and they are gone you suddenly feel the void in your life. i don't mean to get all sappy. who knows, another brilliant representative may rise and breath fresh life into the old rickety ship we all sail in making our fantasies come real. you played your part well Sir, and won more than anyone could have imagined. your real and virtual presense made a giant impact in many lives, Lindens and Residents alike. you will be profoundly missed. God bless your journey onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasterscan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Watching the lab gab now ... The best news is Oz said 'this is the last time you'll see me inworld in this avatar.

PrudenceAnton Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Thank you @Oz Linden for your 11 years of dedicated work to help improve Second Life.

DJTonyB Enyo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 OMG, like retirement is not the end, it's just the beginning! It's more that a great person is leaving us after so long! I do hope you enjoy your new endeavors and maybe stop by once and a while to say hi! Going forward, we should all embrace the wonderful job he has done and look towards a new chapter in Second Life! It's been a pleasure learning from all your experiences and now, do take a nice long trip somewhere you have never been and soak up the rays! Have a safe and healthy Voyage My Friend, It's been A Pleasure to have had you here with us for so long! Best Regards, DJTonyB.Enyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
