Thank you Brenda. The contact information you posted and last year's organizers' website was the first place I looked for information but as you mentioned it has not been updated since October 2011. All correspondence to the listed contacts has also been unanswered.
Never hurts to keep trying... -
There really isn't a proper forum for this but since it involves "people" I will go with it here...
A friend of mine made the interesting observation that it appears there will not be a Second Life Community Convention this year, the first time since 2004. Just like the dead silence from Linden Lab when they stopped providing grid metrics, they and the convention organizers seem to think no one will notice if they don't say anything. In part though they are right. Except for one lone inquiry way back in January there has not been a peep from anyone anywhere on the web or SL about the convention not being held this year.
Has anyone heard differently? Does anyone have an opinion on this change? One person I spoke to said it seems to be in line with Linden Lab no longer being interested in community or customer development but instead wanting to become a server provider for a declining SL and future Sims-style game developer. What does everyone else think?

February 20 and still no Q4 economic metrics from Linden Lab. Have they decided to simply not report anything?

Thank you to everyone who was interested in the Orgy Island Estate. A new owner has been found and paperwork will be completed on Monday. If all proceeds as planned the Orgy Island brand name and theme will live on!!!! Come have fun in the sun and find out why Orgy Island is Second Life's longest beach-themed adult playground!

The Orgy Island Estate has been sold to a new owner that will be keeping the five-year-old brand active and strong! To celebrate, there will be a Staying Alive Party Saturday February 11 from 10 AM - Noon SLT at OI Nude Beach. Nuhai Ling will be your host with DJ Pepper spinning the tunes. The contest theme is funky 70's and disco, or just bling us blind! Top three winners walk away with money and additional prizes will be given for Best Pick Up Line! Come have fun in the sun and enjoy the island as we say good-bye to the old and ring in the new!!! See you on the sand soon!

Today is the final day of the OI Estate Auction. Details are listed above and the sale is being held at http://orgyisland.gums.dk/. Current bid is $260.00 USD for BOTH regions, one full class 5 region with 15,000 prims rated mature and one OpenSpace region with 750 prims rated adult.
Orgy Island has been active in Second Life for over 5 years on the same server. This means all LMs and Picks made there in that time still point to the same location! The sale also includes the franchise name, groups, and web-based social media. If you are looking for an instant business and social venue then this is the place you want!
For questions, tours and general information, please contact Asger Jansma or Nuhai Ling in-world.

Interesting question and one that you may have to expand on. If you are talking just about adult land and not content, then I think a separate adult grid would be much more active than the PG land it leaves behind. I say this partially in line with a previous commentator who pointed out that SL started off with separate adult and teen grids with the latter closing because of non-use. I also did a recent survey of land sales and guess what? Only Zindra (adult) land was selling at any price above L$1 per meter (about L$7.2 per meter on average in fact). Anyone who wants to confirm this needs only to watch the Linden Auctions and notice how many bids and at what price Adult land sells compared to all others.
If you expand your question to adult content however, I think it would be the end of Second Life. Not everyone comes in for adult content all the time but most will admit that they have engaged in adult play at some point and that it was fulfilling (no pun intended). Don't forget that Linden Lab does not limit adult content to just sex but also to violence such as extreme shooting games, etc. If they removed that kind of content then SL would also be targeting a whole different audience who normally does not pay to play games. In other words, adult content attracts adult users.

Tell me, how did I perform a disservice when I advised businesses to wait for the Q4 results before making the decision to close out of Second Life? After experiencing a dismal Q4 compared to last year in their own business, the people I advise asked if there was any changes I knew about which would have made an impact. Of course we talked about such trends as the decline of the overall number of private region owners, decline of mainland demand (except in Zindra), the increase in market sales compared to the decline of same-item sales in-world, the strengthening of the linden exchange rate which indicates a drop in the overall linden supply, etc. etc. Afterward though I suggested they wait to see what Linden Lab reported for the entire grid, and especially look at metrics like total user hours, grid composition, overall market sales and so on. They agreed and decided to pay their January fees. Now that the middle of February is approaching and with no reporting by Linden Lab, most had to make their decisions with the information they had available. So who should you be pointing the finger at, me or someone at Linden Lab who failed to provide "official and reliable" data in a timely manner?
-
I have never seen Linden wait so long to post a previous quarter's metrics unless there was something up. Sadly, a few places I advise were hoping to see them before deciding to remain in SL or close. Without the information, the opted to close. Anyone know what the delay is or if they posted them in some other manner? All web searches are coming up negative and the last Linden post here in the forums was before Christmas. Thanks!

Two words... Sperm Guns! After being hired to build in late 2009 for the new owners of Orgy Island a staff member gave me this wonderful weapon. It looks and works like a normal gun but instead of bullets it shoots wiggly white sperm that expand to the size of a basketball and will ricochet and bounce off of things for a good 30 seconds before they disappear. It has good distance too as I have pegged people across entire sims! Best part is shooting it in rapid fire mode; in a few seconds you feel like an egg under attack! I always laugh so hard when we get into sperm gun fights on slow nights now! It is a must-see to believe!

Five days remain to bid on the Orgy Island franchise. One more question to answer too:
Q: Is the auction page linked to Linden Lab, Pay Pall or another service that holds a financial bid until another higher bid is made or the auction closes with a win?
A: No, the auction website is only a tool to let people make "verbal" bids and does not require payment, login, or personal information other than a mean to contact if you are the winner. In the distant past, regions were sold on e-bay and other services but those are no longer available.
To view the auction, go to http://orgyisland.gums.dk/
If you have any questions, please contact Asger Jansma or Nuhai Ling in-world.

Here is a quick note answering some questions about the OI Estate Sale:
Q: Can I buy just one region?
A. Yes, but this may affect the franchise protections. The Open Space region is called Orgy Island and MUST be rated Adult because of its name. The full region adjoining it is OI Nude Beach and is rated Mature to allow all access. The main region has 5 years of LMs and Picks aimed at it. If you buy the franchise, you may elect to abandon the Open Space region and rename the full region Orgy Island, but this will automatically reclassify it as Adult.
Q: What is the OI Franchise?
A; The franchise is a protected name in SL because regions and parcels are named and cannot be duplicated. It also includes the web-based material, blogs, and pages. This is all included in the sale.
Q: Can I buy the land and not the franchise?
A: After the general auction those who put in a request to simply buy the server space will be considered. The value of the region, however, is in the franchise. The owners have no incentive to bother with a ticket just to transfer the server since they are a dime a dozen.
Please feel free to contact me with any other questions and I will post the answers here. Thank you!

"I'd love to think of one for the girls who sell their "RL Naked Pictures" they stole off the internet."
Possible Titles: Porn Scalper, Horny Teen, or Lonely Old Man!
-
If you have not heard, Linden Lab's CEO off-handed mentioned possibly adding Community Awarded Titles to the naming system (I assume to go over personal names and group titles if anyone even chooses to view them these days). Of course if they are community awarded I would think they should also be community created! With that in mind, what titles would you create to award your fellow residents with? Here are some of my ideas:
14 & Verified Adult
Incompetent Builder
Untalented Escort
Really a Man
Pole Polisher (for stripers)
Xcite Compatible
Bored Teen Outcast (for griefers)
Missing in Action (for Lindens)
Genital Junkie
Not a Friend (for those randomly asking friendship)
Rezzed for Sex
Linden Lover (for people obsessed with earning lindens)
Money Burner (for land owners / renters)
Cheap & Easy (for avatars only using freebies)
Unemployed (for Linden help desk avatars)
-
Just another example showing how Linden Lab hears but does not listen.
We say, "Please give us last names back because we never asked for them to be taken away in the beginning."
Linden Lab hears, "Please give us gamer titles like Noob, Super Princess, and Competant Land Owner."
Geez... the only thing that can come from this is a very very funny list of resident-approved titles to award others with. That sounds like a really fun thread in fact, I think I will start one!

One of the oldest erotic estates in Second Life is now for sale! Orgy Island and its sister region OI Nude Beach are a vital and popular part of Second Life with more than 5 years of history. It has been featured in Real Life news, entertainment features and even academic papers. In Second Life there is hardly an avatar that has not visited it and many call it their SL home. Real Life circumstances are causing the new owners to sell but that does not mean the end of Orgy Island. Now you can have the opportunity to keep it alive!
An auction is now under way for the entire estate. To see the details of the sale and make a bid, go to http://orgyisland.gums.dk. THE AUCTION ENDS ON FEBRUARY 9 at MIDNIGHT SLT.
Transfer and payment for the island will follow the completion of a Region Transfer Ticket through Linden Lab no later than February 11th 2012.
Here is a quick view of the sale details. It will include:
• OI Nude Beach, Full Region, Moderate, 15.000 prims • Orgy Island, Open Space Sim, Adult, 750 prims • All Orgy Island groups including its VIP group with 2000 members • All buildings on the ground surface • The brand "Orgy Island" as it is used at present in Second Life including the OI logo. • The website orgyisland.wordpress.com/ • The facebook page O.R.G.Y. Island in Second Life
The sale does not include:
• Non transfer furniture and other objects made by third party • Skyboxes connected to "Ritha's Hotel" • The brand, name and customer lists of "Ritha's Hotel"
For further information about Orgy Island and OI Nude Beach, send e-mail to asger.jansma@hotmail.com or contact Asger Jansma, Ron Lauria, Andie Hird or Nuhai Ling inworld.

From the first comments to the last it seems everyone saw this, "... you can still use the 1.23 Viewer, but search functionality will be impaired once new search is released into general availability..."
To translate from Lindenese, "We have told you that we are only working on Viewer 2 and we keep our promises! No matter how bad it is and how few of you like it, our improvements will only work with Viewer 2. Go ahead and download Viewer 1.25 or a third party option from our official viewer list but they won't work. We prefer to give you lower performance and a bad experience because that is what we do best!"
Announcements like these sound great until we all realize Linden Lab is only improving things for the minority few. Sure we will all be forced to Viewer 2 eventually but right now I like my reliable car instead of a brand new Yugo. I will check out the new search in a year or two when they pry my old viewer from my cold pixilated hand!
Never hurts to keep trying...
