That is certainly what it says on his WIKI page. Seems it was updated very late at night on May 20th, but I can't tell by whom. _____________________

He talked to us, could admit when he was wrong and told us to STFU when we were being stupid. LL really needs more people like that..  _____________________

So, uness someone hacked Prospero's password, it seems he left, effective last night. I may not have always agreed with Prospero - in fact I was arguing rather strongly with him over the 1000-prim server throttle on taking prims into inventory or deleting them - but at least he DID talk to us, and was honest in his position. I will agree with you, Meade. He will be missed. _____________________

Wow this is a huge surprise. Best of luck to him, was he still involved with the SL Shakespeare company?

I thought I saw Prospero's name with the last RC. Something must have gone terribly wrong.

I just had a look at his blog, and he's a *really* interesting person - to me, anyway. The job at LL was no doubt just a job, and way below what he is. I hope he's got something more suitable for himself.

Be well, Prospero.
Although you made me want to scream sometimes I don't think you ever bulshytt'ed us or ignored us. Wherever you land, I hope it's somewhere fun that pays a crapload of cash._____________________

Yes, he does seem to be gone. Little did I know, when I took his piccie on the 20th, that it would be the last!
 He's a good man. I will have to assume he is going back into his first love, astronomy. I know he missed it a lot. Also, for those keeping track, Everett Linden is also gone as of last week. _____________________

I didn't knpw anything about him or what he did, as usual when it comes to most Lindens, but I read a few of his posts on this forum, and they were always straight forward, no matter what the question was and refreshingly free of the usuall LL bullshit. For that alone he will be missed. Reach for the stars, Prospero. May you find intelligent life somewhere. _____________________

Just the sort of person LL didn't want to lose, you'd have hoped. He's still staying in SL, though? Hope so; his astronomy talks are always fascinating.

I think he is atleast thats the gist of what I read, he said he needed to tier down on his alt, because of the looming unemployment problem. _____________________

Does this have anything to do with Brent Linden's response in https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/land/dpw/blog/2009/04/29/moles-wanted#comments
I'm out of the loop. Please fix me. _____________________

it's funny... LL's giving employees psudonyms is possibly one of their oddest, yet most succesful moves.
you here Linden, you know it's an employee, but they also have a name, they're an individual, with a specific function and place in the corporate ecosystem... and you can personalize your interaction, they become friends, sources of specific info and people whom it's ok to disagree with... they become friends and friendly faces... I didn't know Prosperro so well, but he's obviously well liked (even if I agree with Ceera) and that likability and recognition is largely based on his personality, but LL has definitely discovered a hidden gem in this method of making employees both more approachable and recognizable, yet still anonymous. _____________________
