How Many Islands have gone so far?

Since LL is still 'repairing' their statistics page, again quoted from Tyche Shepherd's blog ( http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/business-land-economy/8523-new-second-life-sims-past-15.html ) this week's island numbers:

*
Total number of Main Grid regions is now 26774 ( 21360 private estates & 5414 Linden owned)
This is a net increase of 14 regions in the week, 10 private estates and 4 Linden regions. The small net growth hides a lot more activity , with Ursula expanding by 143 regions before contracting back to 153 regions as it was last week.
173 new regions were added and 48 returned to the grid, with 352 regions removed (53 were renamed and 38 came and went since the last report with 111 making a temporary return)

The Grid had a busy week this week with the end of the grandfathered homestead prices and the start of moves of adult content, some to new private estates.
The main grid grew by 463 regions, 391 of these were private estates, 72 were new Linden owned (70 of these were new Zindra regions).

Total number of Main Grid regions is now 28523 ( 23028 private estates & 5495 Linden owned)
575 new regions were added and 90 returned to the grid, with 269 regions removed (44 were renamed and 4 came and went since last report with 66 making a temporary return)

i am proud to say i resisted ll's offer and did not reinstate any abandoned openspace/homesteads.
burnt too many times hey

Wonder why they limited those 42 regions to Mature, if it is because there is no other content then linden content and they want people to folow the rules for public land then it should have been set to PG, unless they plan to change that rule and make public land on zindra mature so people can walk around with armed guns or nude (or both).

I guess those Mature regions on Zindra are where those with child avis can go.

I am waiting for LL to renege on the grandfathering of Homestead tiers, and to increase all of them to $150.00 per month. LL keeps changing its mind on this issue - about 5-6 times in the last year. I thought there were only two shoes to drop.

interesting that the number of regions increased in summer months in the stats shown. I would have expected the opposite.

The homestead grandfathered pricing offer accounts for that.

The Linden growth was mainly due to 12 Burning Life regions coming online, Private Estate growth included the reappearance of the 37 RFL regions which went offline last week. All in all, whilst a small positive growth, the slowness of the past 3 weeks continued this week.
209 new regions were added and 70 returned to the grid, with 218 regions removed (42 were renamed and 0 came and went since last report with 6 making a temporary return).

Adult regions grew to 589 (303 private estates), up 23 from last week.
