Due to the recent XStreetSL and OnRez aquisitions (of which LL will be phasing OnRez out) there has been quite a bit of sweeping done by Linden Lab in order to clean up. Copyrighted logos and such have been disappearing from XStreetSL, such as this Hello Kitty Backpack whose counterpart is still on OnRez.
LL: Open Mouth, Insert Foot
It seems Linden Lab is running into all kinds of snafoos this evening.

Where have all the alpha’s gone?
