We remain at our posts. The SL Volunteers corps has been reduced in terms of roles as there has been some significant overlap, as well as major inefficiencies in the enrolment process and in terms of filtering out those who are not genuinely knowledgeable in some aspect of SL or not willing to contribute.

To find a SL Volunteer these days, approach someone who's currently tagged up as a Second Life Mentor. They can still be found at most newbie orientation Help Islands as well as the HIP instances, and Welcome areas (yes, even the clusterfark of a zone that is Waterhead.)

I can't vouch for too many people beyond myself, but if you're still willing to learn, I'm still willing to teach.

Unless it's something I can't help you with. Then it makes more sense for me to suggest someone else you could approach instead.

It's a lot different to when you could just IM any Linden that was online.

I think you can add to the list, the SL volunteers who were also available to offer help, they have been disbanded too.

Lowel, also add to that list that list, they set up a press group in SL called the “Second Life Media consortium” which Im still a member, hoping desperately every day for ONE little notice or even an IM!!! from it?? ……..there was one press call on that group, that I remember and that was probably well over 6 months ago and then …….nothing…also now you have to go through the PR dept to request an interview with a Linden, Torley is probably the only exception…so its really hard for the “press” to get any access either.
