Howdy and hello. Teen Grid’s days are coming to a close later this year, and seeing as how I am going to transfer in a few weeks I thought I’d take some time to make a much needed update to the Tramp Blog. In the past I’ve bickered on and on about future prospects and solutions to save the main grid, mostly siding toward a merge, and now that something to that effect is actually going to take place I simply sit here in awe. I transfer in early October, and instead of seeing all of my younger friends funnel into what I often refer to as “the other side”, they will all come at once–glorious. This is a huge turning point in Second Life’s history, as it is the first time people under 18 can (legally) be in the same area as someone over the age of 18 without somewhere in the neighborhood of a billion background checks, teaching licenses, and swear-ins. Whatever the future holds for what will be known in the future as The Grid Formerly Known As The Teen Grid (TGFKATG) it will sure be different than the monotonous decline we’ve seen the once valiant Teen Grid undertake these past few years. So, instead of thinking of this year as the year the Teen Grid blew up, think of it as the year the Teen Grid transcended to another level.
If you have any fond memories of the Teen Grid or speculations of the future, please be sure to share them in a response! 
Until next time,
-a tramp
