Is anyone aware of a list of Second Life last names currently in use? I have a notion as to how to make it practical to keep a list of all visitors to a specific location over some extended period, but it's a bit dependent on knowing all or most of the potential last names.

The only list I know of is the list of available names that can be choosen for new accounts. This is on the website. But with names constantly being retired and new ones being added, maintaining that list could be more trouble than it's worth.

Hmm, what about keeping a list of all last names encountered (no duplicates) and store the first name and list index of the last name. Not sure how much this will help given list overheads.

And the other option, have a master script keep a running tally of the number of avs visiting, then have multiple storage scripts that hold the visit info. The main script is just a coutner and the sensor/whatever code, then depending on the visitor number, sends out the info with an integer parm that the storage scripts review to know if it should be storing it. If you want to avoid any duplicates, you can add a verification check into the storage scripts to respond if they already have the av and can either update or just ignore the new info. When you need to add more storage, just copy the storage script and change the integer range in it and you're good to go.
