First there was the case of “The Missing Avatar” and now it’s a “Missing Blog”.

Chino Yalin, a Second Life Blogger who blogs about Free Lindens in Second Life, posted in his blog that his avatar mysteriously vanish. Searchng for his name using Second Life’s people search resulted to nothing. Oh my! I’m guessing that this could be another one of Second Life’s many bugs. A while back, I encountered a bug that trapped one of my avatars in an endless loop of logging out and I’m happy to report that he is now FREE.

It was posted a few hours ago at Second Life’s official blog that 1,100 regions went offline because of some grid failure thingy. It is possible that Chino’s avatar went missing together with the 1,100 regions that went down. LOL! Well, the regions are now back up but Chino’s avatar is still missing which means a different bug caused Chino’s avatar to disappear.

But wait, that’s not all that’s missing. I went to check Chino’s blog just now to check on the progress of the Missing Avatar case (I’ve read that Detective Taylor of CSI:New York is on the case, LOL!) to find the blog gone. What greeted me was a Wordpress Error page. Wow! When something goes bad, everything goes bad with it.

Anyway, I do hope that Chino recovers his avatar because that’s a very rich avatar. Losing it will be a waste of thousands of Linden Dollars. LOL! Joking aside, I hope he recovers it.

For his blog, my guess is that his web host is experiencing some technical problems with their servers or maybe it’s time for Chino to get a dedicated server to be able to serve his thousands of readers everyday. A shared hosting plan won’t be able to handle the enormous load a high traffic site brings.

Avatar Found: It seems that Linden Labs Police Department is holding Chino’s avatar for questioning and has set bail for 25$ (real US dollars). LOL! Linden Labs should really clear that 25$ issue with Chino’s account. Best of luck with the case!
