Page is gone, too. I'm kind of stunned, given that I only started last October.

Does anyone have any idea why Linden Labs retires family names, or how often?

Roentgen was retired once, and then turned up again. Guess it's gone again though. lol I don't think there are 150 of us. There are only about 4 or 5 who actually play.
