Last week, one of the most successful <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/teen-grid/">Teen Grid</a> residents made her journey to the other side. Asuka Martin was the grid's <a href="http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=232028&amp;sort=Pictures.PictureID+desc&amp;Name=Machinima+Guru">#1 skin maker</a>, taking her island and creations with her when she left.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TSLWicked">Wicked Loudon</a> prepared this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBkcSXyTxTo">sad video</a> for his good friend. You may remember him from the heartbreaking video he made for <a href="http://www.secondlifeinsider.com/2007/04/11/teen-machinima-memoir-of-kit/">Kit Axon</a> last year. In his homage, they dance, play, and enjoy her teens for just a little bit longer before she goes.<br /><br />As I've mentioned before, the Main Grid has a <a href="http://www.secondlifeinsider.com/2007/04/04/just-askin-are-teen-transfers-transitioning-well/">low retention rate</a> for teen transfers. According to <a href="http://www.sluniverse.com/pics">Snapzilla</a>, <a href="http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=260595&amp;sort=Pictures.PictureID+desc&amp;Name=Asuka+Martin">Asuka isn't having too much fun</a> on MG.

I've seen too many formerly vibrant <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/teen-grid/">Teen Gridders</a> come over to MG and fade away. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/matthewserta">Sonof Marvin</a> is the latest TGer to leave his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dlMlC8tMf0">video mark</a> on the world.<br /><br />In his compilation, he shows off screenshots of his time on the <a href="http://teen.secondlife.com/">Teen Grid</a> of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/second-life/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Second Life</span></a>. At the end, he gives a shout out to all of his friends that he'll miss, as well as ways to <a href="http://snoff.wordpress.com/">contact</a> <a href="http://slislands.wordpress.com/">him</a>. However, I thought that I could do him one better and let the <span style="font-style: italic;">SL</span>ers know that this guy <a href="http://snoff.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/transfering-to-the-main-grid/">could use some friends</a> on MG!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/22/cinemassively-sonof-marvin-says-goodbye-to-the-teen-grid/">Cinemassively: Sonof Marvin says goodbye to the Teen Grid</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:30:00 EST.
