Remembering Desperation Isle

It was just yesterday that I discovered the following series of almost perfectly annual events:
  • On October 28, 2005 I logged into Second Life for the first time.
  • A year later, on October 18, 2006, Linden Lab delivered my first island, Desperation Isle.
  • A year after that, on October 18, 2007, I cleared out the entire island and uploaded a new custom terrain.
Desperation Isle is no more, having been replaced by the more elaborate New Desperation Isle, but countless memories were forged on that island. It seems like it was so much longer than just a year. I shot the following footage the night before I wiped out the island. It is safe for work (all the furniture was already gone and I was the only one on the island at the time). Enjoy.

That was fantastic, still it brought a lump in my throat, I to have lots of loving memories on this island. I've made lots of friends here, Infact this is wher i found my irst close friend way back in march. The isle will be missed but lives on in our hearts and minds.

Thank you for the island, It's been such a big part of my SL life, I will miss it greatly. It was like a second home for me for many a month. I'll have to update my Picks and point them to the new Isle. Oh and Happy Rez day Wildefire.

Miss Wildefire,

I visited Desperation Isle as well shortly before it was taken down. I loved what you did there and you continue to do better with your new island.

I think you've done some amazing things. Perhaps you should think about writing a book?

Submissively yours,

Chels Blanco
