After 11 years the well known YadNi s Junkyard in Second Life has closed down which is a massive loss and very sad to see this landmark disappear. YadNi s Junkyard started back on 6th April 2004 and it was the first freebies store in Second Life history to launch. YadNi s Junkyard was one of the top favourite places for new residents to get freebies, getting started in Second Life and it was a good places to make new friends.
YadNi Monde posted this message on Google+ on June 23rd 2015.
YadNi s Junkyard has closed today.
After 11 years of helping Thousands new residents with REAL freebies, full perms, for free, and one of the most long lasting money trees, I had to close the place today.
I hope you have good souvenirs of that place.
It’s going to be hard to imagine what the grid will be like now without YadNi s Junkyard but the memories will stay with us for sure. This is the end of an era and YadNi s Junkyard will be deeply missed by everyone.

When I first saw Yadni’s, I knew people in SL were kind and sharing.

RIght up until the end I valued Yadni’s not for the stuff itself, but as a part of SL’s history (and -with the maps- a documenter of that history). He had a unique voice he expressed through his “junk” and it’s sad that his voice has gone silent and that perspective will go untold now.

Sorry to hear the place went down. I myself took newcomers there time to time – http://slnewser.blogspot.com/2015/06/yadnis-junkyard-closing-down.html

It’s sad to hear this, but nothing lasts forever. Still, I do recall working my way through the Junkyard several times in my early years, until I got my virtual legs under me; freebie stores like YadNi’s are fantastic places for newbies to get themselves established. And and 11-year run is mind-boggling in Second Life.

I always got a smile out of seeing the big blue man. Yadni, thank you for keeping the place active for so many years. I will miss it.

I hadn’t been in ages but I have to admit, I got a lump in my throat at the news that it was shutting down.

Sad times, I met the big blue man when I was a newbie, and he was very uncomplicated and humble buider, with a incredible sense for building and 3D.
