On June 23, YadNi announced via Google Plus that the days of his Junkyard were over. He had taken it down.
YadNi's Junkyard has closed today.
After 11 years of helping thousands (of) new residents with REAL freebies, full perms for free, and one of the longest lasting money trees, I had to close the place today.
I hope you have good memories of that place.
His post was followed by sad comments, people remembering how important the place was, and wishing him well, "The Junkyard was a vital part of many, many, people's Second Life experience. As a relative latecomer in 2007, it created a connection for me with the history and culture of SL it would have been impossible to gain otherwise." "This is sad news, one of the first places I visited and would take
people to when they joined. Thank you for giving everyone this place
for so long. Your dedication is noteworthy and it will be truly missed." "Thank you YadNi Monde .
Your Junkyard changed my SL experience for the better. I taught myself
how to build by looking at how the freebies were put together and
textured. Building is the main reason I still do this. I brought so many
friends to the Junkyard over the years and we all appreciated your
generosity. You are a huge part of everyone's SL."
YadNi was humbled at these comments, "Thanks a lot guys, i am touched by your words, and very sorry i had no other choice."Heading to it's location in the Leda sim on the Second Life mainland, I found the place was already gone. Nothing was left but a depression in the rocky ground.
And so, the first and best known freebies place is fading away into the virtual nether.

I feel sorry for newbies now. Sigh. I got so much stuff from that place.
