Phew I missed the 'good' stuff, I was busy in 2009 and was absent from SL a while. What horrible neighbors

When was the LDPW created? And yes =D maybe reposting again but here's another mainland parcel of mine, in Bay City (pic is slightly older but still good...it's changed a little configuration-wise from the other day to today but house, grass and hedges, are still there and waterfall is still there)-

And guys.... 😂 I guess I went all in...spent 8,800L approximately today-- 8,000L for a 1024 sq m of mainland, for an office for my new mainland appreciation endevour; and 800L outfitting new alt.... have a friend who is making a HUD, potentially, so if it comes to fruition, I'm so excited! Meantime Prokofy gave me a thing that I can use 😮 that will work as awesome, Prokofy again thank you!!! Lololol here she is at the new office...she's not sure of the animesh grandpa in the background... Coming soon with more details as I sort things out, so excited for this!! And hopefully we can work with MAS and LRC on stuff too!

Joined!! It was so nice to meet you @Prokofy Neva Was fun traveling today! Lol loved that punch! The great Prokofy and I sitting punch and worshipping the Lindens. And thank you soo much for the sign!!! OMG can't wait to use it!!

Just found and joined the inworld group! Will message you later...May I add you in world? @Asadora Summers

Still there is value of having a focused tour on homes and living on Mainland. There are hunts and events already for stores for both Mainland and Private Sim.

THis and your group!!!

OMG!!!!!! I love this!!!!!!!! Going to find out ab out this when I get back from work,

Nice guys =D

You're a fierce old-timer sir. And good grief can't believe the amount of things people would actually do to make fun or hurt Second Life fans. No wonder we're so private and not so keen on public media.

🤣😂

Who the heck is Woodbury? And also that other game you described, something with Hunts, what is that if I may ask? @Prokofy Neva

Haven't played GTFO yet, but I was thinking there should be a version, "Get the Milk Out," For roleplaying deliveries of regular things like eggs and milk, and cat food, to residents? And yes, the warehouse thing I noticed too. The same people who like to play aren't necessarily the ones with the aesthetic sense, which is okay, but then someone has to try to offer to help them, maybe.

This, although not so nuanced yet, is also what makes sense to me @Prokofy Neva. ALL Of your post. You are right! Also with the advent of Strawberry being hired and similar people like her, and with Patch, I think the community aspect is coming back. The Blogger Network is an amazing idea that could not have happened without hiring Strawberry. I think Bellisseria has a huge chance for success too, because of all the factors you describe. I'm really excited for everything, everywhere in Mainland!

And now... it's this....with 400 prims left.... CONTINUED...Oye...even with compressing these download limits are really a pain... lol...

My place at Alloy - Helllo gardens. Also found the windlight I like the best for Mainland, in Firestorm! And using Phototools is a must! It used to be this... And now... it's this....with 400 prims left.

I remember mainland like this! For years I avoided it like the plague cause of this. But yes it is so much better now I don't ever see these horrible prims anymore when I was exploring and usually when it's a giant for sale sign it at least looks decent...they're more tasteful these days. I think people overall are mindful now, and also I think you get people, like me, who go over from being Private Sim all the time and are mindful of trying to keep things pretty

OMG the great and infamous, famous Prokofy Neva, hello sir! 😍 Nice to meet you!! Great! I was thinking of starting small, maybe a Flickr account getting the old Mainland Flickr groups active again, but eventually scale up to offer a teleporter HUD (need to find a scripter, and also save money for said scripter lol) that would be updated for free and distributed regularly, for free, as a community resource. Start light, start with a common interest, start with beauty, I say. If anyone's interested joining up this and: Doesn't take themselves, OR Mainland, OR Second Life too seriously, but also takes it seriously enough to treat it with love and respect; Shares the vision that, no matter what continent you are in, whether you're from Zindra or Bellissaria, we're ALL Mainlanders and we ALL love mainland and what's awesome about it! .... I'd welcome the help, and friends come to think of it, too, lol. I'm on nearly every day, and work somewhat European-ish hours while residing in New York (you want to know what I do for a living don't you?)

Yes agreed! Okay :). Maybe it is. Let's not pick sides, let's not decide whether something is empty or not, we're all Mainlanders right? Just became a Mooseheader hehe, this parcel is so cute!

*Waves shyly* Hi, I just moved to Moosehead! (Pardon the HUDs lol, didn't realize they made it into the shot until now)

Thank you! I will contact one of the Harbor Masters!

Question- how does one get a boat slip at the Marina at New Port? I understand you have to be a resident, but then what is the next step after, who do I contact etc?

Yeah I just checked and maybe I spotted some groups that could be termed as such, however to talk about it is to give it room to breath and I Think maybe we should let them have their free speech and eventually those groups are for people who want to nurse their own wounds and nothing more. I think maybe the Lindens have a just right approach this time, what with Pickle Parties and building gorgeous homes and providing a covenant but that is it. I am exploring Bay City right now, and trying to see how I can be involved, thank you for the tip!!

@Pussycat Catnap Is Nautilus City a thriving city in your opinion too? And Shermerville?

Hmmm. Factions never help in any area. We are all adults here, and I don't understand how things could be brewing quietly over at Belli like that. I love Belli too and I think it will, to me, not fail. I did not realize how much effort and love residents put into Mainland, and I am sad that such efforts were stymied in the past. I was around when Zindra happened but was so busy IRL that I did not get familiar. Just like in private parcels, maybe the way to go would be a 'light' application of community. Too intense and you get the shouting. The poor Lindens so much stress I can see happened, and can't blame them. There are land barons like that still exhisting- I don't know how big they are as I am not as familiar -- but I am seeing really beautiful areas done up with covenants in place for aesthetics and behavior and it's because of the land barons.
