Old Star Trek Museum ? Gone, what happened?

[Sire Sands]

I used to love this Star Trek Museum and its various parts. Outdoors scenes with Starships visible, could enter, walk around in them.. gone now, anyone know the story?

Below is the information from their last notecard I have:

A full-size re-creation of Capt. Kirk's Enterprise complete with the Bridge, by Ryder Spearmann, as well as the rest of the ship created by Tsora Enoch, including Captain's Quarters, Sickbay, Engineering and Shuttlebay with working shuttlecraft to return you to land   Sit in the Captain's chair and watch "A Star Trek Tribute" on the main viewer.

WHALE WATCHING AND SCUBA DIVING
􀀔
This is the home of George and Gracie, the Humpback Whales saved from the 20th Century by Admiral James T. Kirk in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home".  Learn about RL whale conservation while listening to your favorite Star Trek movie and TV themes at the Whale Observation Pier.

􀀞
"Ripper" was the nickname given  to a large animal discovered aboard the disabled USS Glenn in 2256, by a USS Discovery away team. He was dubbed a tardigrade due to his resemblance to the Earth micro-animal. According to a captain's log from the Glenn, Ripper was found stowing away in the ship's stores of mycelium spores.  Our Chief Engineer, Tsora Enoch, has recreated the original cargo bay, and if you click on our tardigrade you will find a surprise.

􀀝
A recreation of Mr. Spock mind-melding with one of the whales at the Cetacean Institute. As Dr. Gillian Taylor explains, nobody knows what the whales are saying with their songs..."Maybe he's singing to that man" one visitor exclaims. You can see the youtube clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoS1eAVNXWU

FLY YOUR OWN SHUTTLECRAFT - 2 LOCATIONS
􀀗
􀀏
Vulcan shuttles fly from P'Jem Monastery to the places of interest on New Eridani.  From the shuttlebay of our full-size Starship Enterprise, a Federation shuttle returns to New Eridani through our own stable wormhole.  Shuttles are automated, no piloting skills required.

􀀜
Climb aboard the Pleiades for a leisurely trip in a hot air balloon (yes, they can be found in Star Trek)   over New Eridani, landing at the whale observation pier.

VULCAN MUSEUM AND TOWN OF WAKRUBAYA
􀀆
After the destruction of their home world, a small group of Vulcans relocated to New Eridani (named for the star Epsilon Eridani or the star 40 Eridani, around which Vulcan is said to have orbited). The town and nearby residential areas provide a home for Vulcans and other species to live in logic and harmony, while providing an opportunity to educate visitors about Vulcan society and culture.  Visit the Vulcan Museum and Library.

A recreation by Lora Chadbourne - the home of Zefram Cochrane, space warp inventor. Cochrane, thought to have died 150 years previously, was found on stardate 3219.8, living on Gamma Canaris III, with an alien entity who had restored his youth and protected him.

I've never heard of it, but I see you have some names there at the end of the notecard. It might be worthwhile to contact one of them for more info. 

[Pixie Kobichenko]

The person(s) with the answer are listed at the bottom of the NC you pasted here.  If I had to guess, for whatever reason, their tier was not paid & the land was reclaimed.  No use speculating the cause of that, however.

Hey Sire

Two space based regions I think you'll like ...

The Queue continuum http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Queue/40/66/1002

Timelord Sandbox http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mount Olympus/111/136/21

[Arduenn Schwartzman]

I got banned there for running. And alt got banned there for wearing a kids' AO. And a friend of mine got banned there for shouting in Local Chat.

[Lillith Hapmouche]

Like Arduenn's examples show, the owner always had quite a reputation of extremely low tolerance towards their visitors' behaviour. Perhaps Karma got them in the end.

Anyway, you know that there are numerous places dedicated to Star Trek, among even more SciFi themed places? A lot are roleplay related with quite some stunning sets.

I remember the museum well. It was beautifully and accurately put together and an excellent source of information. So sad when it disappeared. I have several pics as a reminder of my last visit including one of me posing with Wabisabi Matahari who happened to be there at the time. This one is of the Holodeck recreating the bridge on a Borg ship:

Thanks for the memories. I have searched current Star Trek places, will check some out. I wanted to shoot a short video to show my friends in a local Star Trek group that SL has a huge Star Trek community, and some cool sites.. I'll find and shoot on another one.. appreciate all the comments and suggestions.. --Sire Sands

That's most likely what happened here.  Unless you're listed in "Destinations", are a music/dance place with a good crowd, or hookers... you're probably not even making enough to cover half your tier anymore.

[BelindaN]

I didn't go much before it vanished, but it was amazing.
