It looks to me like they havent integrated anything."tomakeup,combine,orcompletetoproduceawholeoralargerunit,aspartsdo."There is no larger unit, or combination unless its in the works...
Bear in mind that they also bought it under one CEO, and closed it under another. I suspect it was more of an "M thing" than anything.
That said, I believe at least some of the AU functionality exists in the web-based profiles.

Wow - if it wasn't for the V2 style buy pass barricade, I'd swear that was from the heyday of ad farms.

Glad you enjoyed!
I took that shot at http://slurl.com/secondlife/alirium/171/116/21/ - I'm not sure if that region has a landing point, but if it puts you in the snowy landscape area, use the teleport to ground, go down a couple times, and then exit the store to get to where I shot that

I suspect one could make a build that would at least give that appearance - but all gravity is, essentially, constant, and points down to the SL ground. :-)

Oh look, it's late Sunday night!
I hope y'all had a super weekend and had a ton of fun. :smileyhappy:
This weekend we had a big mixer in Bay City. It was an "East meets West" thing, on account of the merger of the old Teen Grid Bay City to the Main Grid Bay City. it was also a good excuse as any for a party. We opted to stick to Bay City's them, and did it up mid century style, with swing music and alla that. It was fun!
Here's a shot from the event:
And a shot of me an my sibs, in our vintage finery:
Me an my sibs did a bit of exploring, too. Like poking around some more in Alirium. What a pretty spot, really.
We've also been getting Livingtree all springy, as well as doing some remodeling here and there. This was the other night, as we put out new bridges here and there:
And finally, just because, another Bay City shot. This one showing a little bit of a building I'm workin' on, to the left in this piccie:
Here's hopin' all y'all have great weeks ahead, and much fun t'come!

I figure he's either an epic troll, or he's a loon. Either way, he's not worth replying to/attempting to engage/etc. Just ignore 'em, or report him is yer so inclined, or whatever.

Thanks to all who made it out to the city yesterday for our "East Meets West" mixer, the crowd was big and lively, and I think much fun was had. A true showing of the strength of our community.
Thanks to LisaHot Juran, Ever Dreamscape, Molly Montale, BennyThe Boozehound and all who attended f'r makin' the event what it was. Also, kudos to Marx Dudek and Holocluck Henly for a pair of great follow-up parties later in the evening.

No worries! Just pondering what other spots would/should be included...

Indigo Mertel wrote:I still recommend adding a reference to Mowry Bay. It's a historical landmark.
If so, which other landmarks? The Governor's mansion? The Man? NCI in Kuula? Sutherland Dam? Ahern Welome Area? Ivory Tower?

FWIW, I think that was the last April Fool's prank LL will ever pull. A lot of people got inordinately upset by those, and yelled about LL wasting resources with silly TP messages versus "fix the lag" and stuff.
I s'pect they still have a sense of humor (This pretty much confirms that), but they cant much show it without people being upset. :-/

Ishtara Rothschild wrote:Isn't that a bit like asking for a map of the internet? A map as a navigational tool appears a bit archaic in a world where you can teleport anywhere in an instant.
Hop in your car in Sammamish and drive it to Hikuelo. Or run an SLRR train from Bhagi to Pavonia, trade it for a horse, and ride to Athetis. Or fly from Hau Koda up into the northern Continent, or boat across the Blake Sea.
Many more ways to enjoy a world than teleporting, especially if you've got the time and interest.

This map mislabels Satori as Corsica. Corsica is the "unknown" on the map. This also lacks Gaeta and anything beyond it.

Toysoldier Thor wrote:Im my lil personal quest for finding the oldest sim in the SL grid and even the old existing build still rezzed ... this is what I found. (I talked to a friend of mine that sorta helped me sort some of my initial facts out as she is one of the oldest beta users in sl).The oldest sim in SL is the sim of NATOMA (although it might have been co-rezzed about the same time as a couple others).It was supposedly a welcome sim way back when. It would make sense that it is the oldest sim in the grid as it has a lot of historical REAL OLD builds still rezzed, including the oldest prims still rezzed and which has been put up as a monument by the Lindens.Its a statue called "THE MAN" - real simple build but still...it was created by OldJohn Lindenon July 19th, 2002 at 2:08pm. It stand on a hill called Phillips Hill.The hill stand behind the famous mecca for Noon Builders - The Ivory Tower Library of Primatives.Also on this ancient sim are many other still rezzed oldddd builds.
I am sure most of you know this stuff but in case u didnt.
As was already noted, Da Boom is region #1, not Natoma. Sadly, there isn't much of historical significance left in that region.
Natoma is an early one, and home to many early artifacts like The Man (which was part of the original attempt at a city, back in Alpha days). You can also find some of the items from LindenWorld (the amusement park, not the alpha) near there, like the Senso game, and a copy of Sinatra Cartier's Spook House. Be sure to also check out the Arch'D Linden Grande in front of the Ivory Tower.
Of course, Newbie Corral, the boat pond, and the Natoma branch of Avatar Central are long gone..
As far as oldest builds, may I suggest this page by Lalo Telling, which covers several of the earliest artifacts in SL. Surprisingly, The Man is only the 6th oldest.
I wish I had one of those nickles :-(

Prokofy Neva wrote:Here's the spot where Magellan crash-landed. You can still see the smoking airplane parts and if you look hard you can even find a little Magellan bear.
Pretty much the quintessential spot there, no?
Here's the others I know of:
A photo of the airship in question.
A "hidden" bottle of Old Wart Hog, owned by Magellan, behind the throne here.
The Broken Elderglen portals. (also look for a piccie of him in the great hall to the south of there).
SLURLs are from memory using slurl.com, so some might be "close but no cigar." I also could not recall the location of the Magellan Highway off the top of my head. :-(

Vocaloid wrote:I hope Ahern continues to be G/PG friendly as possible to all adults, child avies, and teens alike.
This would require it to first start to be, long before it could continue to be. :smileywink:
In answer to your issue, however, you can always Abuse Report this avatar. As it is a General rated region and an Infohub, such conduct isn't allowed. As LL does not have Lindens "on duty" at the hubs, it really would fall to you and others to report such actions. That said, ARing people to protect teens at Ahern would, to me, fall under the heading of sisyphean efforts.

leliel Mirihi wrote:Nexus Prime may only be one sim (plus some land in a neighboring sim) but it is historically significant. It was one of the few themed communities that LL decide to help by donating land to. And is the oldest cyberpunk city in SL, founded in 3/26/03 or thereabouts when Bonifacio was brought online.
As a historical aside, the region name of Gibson was chosen for Nexus Prime not only because of the obvious nod to William F., but because their is a Gibson street in San Francisco. That said it would be historically accurate to keep Gibson, and Nexus Prime, as its own entity.
FWIW as well, Morris is named after a San Francisco street, while Rosedale, Kapor, and Smith are named after Philip Rosedale (Philip Linden), Mitch Kapor (Kapor Enterprises), and Jed Smith (Catamout Ventures).

A very outdated, but still cool map that shows the first three continents: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wizzy_gynoid/4071164570/

#4 is Satori.
Above *and* alongside Corsica is Gaeta.
To the far east of all of these is Zindra
In three (or is it four now) locations to the east of these are the Nascera continents.
Directly to the southeast of Satori is the teen grid continent, which does not to my knowledge have a formal name.

Gianna Arida wrote:OK, I have some questions about where rl teens are and are not allowed to go in sl.Are rl teens in sl allowed to be on mature land?Are rl teens allowed to use child avatars?Are rl teens allowed to participate in mature or adult groups?I am asking because I have seen people who claim to be rl teens (and certainly seem to be rl teens) doing all of these things in sl. I am also asking because on a few mature lands I frequent, sim owners claim that Linden Labs allowed teens on the main grid because they wanted them to be able to access all the fun stuff on mature lands. Can someone give me some more (hopefully valid) information?What should I do if I see rl teens on mature land that have adult groups (such as gor, bdsm) in their profiles?
1. Teens (who, in the case of Second Life would be 16 or 17 in their first lives) are restricted to General rated land. They may not be on Mature rated or Adult rated land.
2. Teens may use child avatars should they desire to, but are restricted to the same rules of use as anyone using a child avatar. No sexual ageplay, etc.
3. Teens are not allowed to participate in Mature rated or Adult rated groups.
All of this is, IMO, spelled out in the Terms of Service and Community Standards. :-)
You can, of course, Abuse Report them if you do see a violation of these or any rules.

Blue Linden... oh, wait, um... Mia Linden! No, wait.... Teagan Lind... oh, no...
My current faves are likely Blondin Linden and Michael Linden, though Alexis. Meta, and Teeple are high on the list too.

Moose Beach came online long before the Gulf, and was part of the initial Bay City land. Here's a nice shot of the maquette for those regions during construction. Fear the Bluezilla! :-)
