Oh its not the first time someone abandoned their land after I put up an adboard. But, I'm free to do what I want as long as I follow the rules, and so are they.

One can always hope that people will stay civil, but once again, I was wrong

Thank you very much, I think I shall. As for asking the owner of the abandoned land, I didn't know he was going to abandon it, and I doubt he would want to talk to the person that caused him to abandon his parcel

Thank you for informing me about the error in my SPM notecard. I used to have an office in a room at that location, but I took it out. Since you informed me of this, I edited the notecard to take out the link, and replaced it in all my adboards. Also, I found several that didn't have the newest panel, so I was able to update them to the newest version. Thank you again.

How do you report a thread that has devolved into a platform for abusing and trolling the OP

Actually the blog is behind a warning page, so it isn't a direct link to adult content.

I'm impressed, how long did it take you to find it? 😂

As I said in an earlier post, he could have lived with the ad board, and worked around it, but I can imagine he logged in, saw the board and said &$)*&%) ad boards, I'm outta here.

I hope they DID learn their lesson, DON'T buy land with micro parcels between your parcel and the road, assuming they will be vacant forever

Thank you for advertising my blog, the check is in the mail 😂

Like I said, my parcels for sale don't blight anyone's view

I've never done that. I've never put in a request for land of any size just to sell it. Now you are just making stuff up.

Then its up to LL to eliminate this once and for all if it is a problem, but LL itself has said its not a big enough concern to ban the practice, and has a long list of rules to mitigate any issues that may arise, including allowing a landowner to AR any micro parcel that is interfering with their enjoyment of SL I do believe they need to be a neighboring landowner though, and not just someone driving down the road being offended by every ad board they see. You know, to hear people in this forum talk, a drive down a mainland road produces an endless procesion of advertising on micro parcels. I'm surprised there are any roadfront parcels left, they should all be blocked out by micro parcels. The truth is, micro parcel advertising on a per sim basis is quite limited and not an unreasonable amount at all.

I don't ad farm, ad farming is already illegal. If however, they change the rules on networked advertising, I will be the first to comply.

I never extort anyone. If I list a micro parcel for sale, I rezz a small boulder on it as a notice to me of sale when it gets returned. None of my parcels that are for sale destroys anyone's view. Now, I have no control over what the buyer does with the parcel, but that's really not my concern. If my micro parcel does destroy your view, it's because its not for sale, but is instead one of my networked advertisements. I hope this clears things up The picture is of one of my 16 sq m 2x protected parcels for sale. Asking price $500 L. I'm not extorting anyone, I'm not destroying anyone's view, if it never sells it never sells, but it always will in a week or two. There isn't a giant glowing for sale sign, just a simple boulder

Seriously though, I buy cheep roadside micro parcels and use them for networked advertising, or to resell them. It's not illegal. I also buy interior 16 sq m parcels if they are less than $25 L and raise the price by $100 L for resale. They always sell eventually. All i'm doing is what every other land flipper in SL is doing. Perhaps you would be happier if LL banned ALL land sales. If you want land you submit a support ticket to LL and they carve it out for you Until buying and selling land is banned, I'll carry on.

Once again you missed what I said he could have done. He could have cut off a useless 4 by 16 strip off the back abandoned it, and used the 64 sq m now available to buy the highly useful micro parcels in front. He needed no extra tier for that. But, he could have also just turned the house around so the living room faced the back yard and empty sim, planted a big tree in front of the micro parcels, and forgot about them He still had his 4 m protected strip for a driveway for road access. There are always alternatives to abandoning your land when things don't go your way.

I've said it before $250 L for a 2x protected 16 sq m parcel is dirt cheep. And I agree, he cut the land into 3 tiny parcels,which is totally totally forbidden, However, it's not forbidden for me to purchase them, so I bought two of them. One for an ad board, and one to resell.

Let's hope there isn't a cheep micro parcel for sale in front of his new house, because if he doesn't buy it, I will 😁

The owner abandoned it 2 days after I put up my ad board. As for irregular shapes I disagree, he had a modest house with lots of yard space . The 64 m cut of the back to add the road front parcels wouldn't be missed and would be compensated for by have full road access. Except in the cities, most roads run thru sims at an angle, so if you want roadfront, you need an irregular shape If i had to choose between regular shape, or full roadfront, i'd take the latter, but that's just me

For the record, not everyone thinks advertising on micro parcels is evil. I consider it a legitimate use of a tiny parcel, and so does LInden Lab, that's why they have a long list of rules for how they are to operate. You don't like them, look the other way, or get LL to change the rules governing them. If LL ever outlaws them, I will immediately abandon all of them, because I always play by the rules. Have a nice day everyone.

They didn't need extra tier, they could have cut 64 sq m off of the back and abandoned it first. People in here seem to think that if I didn't buy the micro parcels, they would have stayed vacant. I assure you a 16 sq m 2x protected parcel for $250 L lasts a day at most, so if I didn't buy it, someone else certainly would have. So, why not me?

Opinions please, which is more valuable? The parcel the owner bought, or the parcel he could have had by buying those micro parcels for $700 L extra?

I often see land advertised as protected, with amazing views, when in fact it is adjacent to abandoned land. In that case its buyer beware, because who knows what could be there tomorrow.

When you buy land, you only buy the land, you don't buy the view
