You dont really need a group tag to help newbies, i never was a mentor but if i could help people getting started in sl ive always been happy to and still am. I dont really know anyone who was in the mentor group but i can imagine there were really friendly and helpful ppl in the group as well as powerhungry asshats. But, ya know, isnt that the case with any group? Seems a bit of a waste of time and energy to point out there were bad apples.

” shall stick up for the rest of us. 99.9% of us are NOT power hungry and NOT there for the badge. some mentors have differnt ablitys may it be scripting, shopping, building or even just the basics. we are all human and we was never paid to mentor so i dont see why people should complain about the lack of service.” couldn’t of put it better myself!. people thought most mentors where the scum of the earth when in fact all we want to do is help people have an enjoyable SL. i for one got tons of abuse from mentors and residents when trying to help. it was really disappointing for me after of hard work i quit helping in 2008. too many people where giving me abuse. some mentors where power hungry and will keep being power hungry as there tag-along mentors join there new groups. i warned Lexie Linden it would happen but i don’t think LL really cares about anyone accept the cash flow. ill miss all you mentors who did help. who was nice to me and who loved to help new residents. never give up on the dream that i did.

I hear Help People Island are encouraging ex-mentors to go there and join…..some amazing talented people should not be discarded.
HPI does what mentors did so go along and ask……what harm can it do!

As a Second Life Mentor, i am rather sad about the end of SLM. i helped beta test new content that then helped replace us. i myself feel awful about this. i also stopped mentoring 2 months ago after residents started to get more abusive. maybe now that we are gone they might have to find there own way of learning. i shall stick up for the rest of us. 99.9% of us are NOT power hungry and NOT there for the badge. some mentors have differnt ablitys may it be scripting, shopping, building or even just the basics. we are all human and we was never paid to mentor so i dont see why people should complain about the lack of service. the SLM project had mentors on WAs/HAs and many other places. we helped in major events and now…well..its just so sad…

ill miss all you fellow mentors.

As a Mentor myself it is sad to see the group disband but I understand that 1500+ mentors inworld is a bit unmanageable. As being a mentor for more than a year, I have never seen a mentor abuse the system but, as always I am sure there were a few that did try to abuse the system in place.

A few bad members should not spoil your mind about the members of the group as a whole. But, as I see all of the hateful comments it seems to be that most of you follow the flock in flaming.

Mentors rule and I am glad to have been apart of it for as long as I have been. I will miss having my group chat tab open to hear about who needs a volunteer to help out on a certain Help Island.

You all that say rude things about Mentors are all losers. If you do not know what you are talking about you just need to SHUT THE HELL UP. The mentors that I knew were all ways kind and helpful. If they were not on the HI to help out and at least show some Kindness I would of never returned to SL. I would of thought all the people in SL were asshole. But if I met a few of you ( the ones with the high and mighty attitudes) I and many other ppl would never come back to SL
