Xanthum Dastardly

It is true that the Ravenelle approved sits were placed there quite a long time ago. All these events occurred a long time ago. That fact, however; does nothing to help the lag, the ugliness, and the general clutter. As previously stated, I rarely go there now anyway. I was simply having a walk down memory lane and wondering how one gets to oversee or manage an infohub. If I were a Linden I wouldn't want that to be representative of what I like in Second Life. To each his/her own. We all have our own personal taste or lack thereof. Try sitting on the ground; there were invisiprims to prevent that too.

Bear is a lovely sim these days with the exception of the clutter at the infohub. As for sitting on the wall, you can only sit on pine cones now, not directly on the wall. You can no longer sit on the lights. There are invisiprims everywhere. Ravenelle can apparently do as she likes at the infohub. I've decided to spend most of my time elsewhere these days, as have many others who used to go to Bear. Guess one had to get in on the ground floor to oversee an infohub.

Another user recently told me she had asked the owner to remove the screens from Bear Infohub and she refused. She also refused letting people just sit whereever they like so I suppose that's that. Sad though, when it used to be such a friendly and popular place. I guess it's true that "life is change"; even Second Life.

I seriously doubt that, but we'll see. It doesn't seem to be an issue many people care about actually. Thought maybe I could acquire an infohub of my own. lol Dream on!!!!

Final question? How do I close this thread now that my questions have been answered satisfactorily?

Once again, I thank you for replies to the question and the information given was very informative. I was simply curious.

Thanks for the replies. Let me ask another question? How does one become owner/overseer of an infohub? It's a fair amount of land and if they are no longer in use, why do they still exist? Just curious.

I'm just curious about this question. As a casual observer I couldn't help noticing that what used to be a very popular and friendly infohub has become overrun with objects belonging to the owner of the hub, tons of lag, and an influx of bots. Little else is there now. No real people, no helping others, just clutter and silence. I used to come sit on the wall or on one of the lights and chat away with the other people there. It was almost always a good time with good conversation. What happened? A landowner in the area wanted no one to "loiter" at the hub because she wanted the resources for her club and school. She placed a lot of ugly things in the area, so screens went up at the hub to block out the ugliness. That was understandable. However; that landowner has moved on to greener pastures and at this particular time, the ugliest thing in the entire sim is the infohub itself. It's claustrophobic to be there because of all the stuff the owner has placed there. In particular, the screens she has up which now impede the view and prevent new people seeing the area around the hub. It's just sad to see such a popular place with so many helpful people die. Maybe no one else cares. Many say Second Life itself is dying. For me, it's been an outlet and a way to communicate with others from the world over. If it is indeed dying, that will also be a very sad thing. Thanks for reading.
