Rem Nightfire

Well the latest for this famous piece of land. Someone bought all of the cut pieces, rejoined them, and set the land at 4.5 L/m. Thats all well and good except for the half dozen or so donut holes that were bought right after the fractured area went for sale. Now that potentially nice piece of land has holes in it and is fairly useless. It will take some doing, but maybe the holes can be restored with the cooperation of the hole owners or with LL intervention. The saga continues.

I think you are in error about the pre existing donuts, but I will concede if you show the written policy for that.

If the donut holes were pre existing to purchase, and not cut from a larger parcel before going for sale its legal I'm afraid. Its the cutting of land into small parcels, then putting them for sale that is illegal. But good luck. If LL has any damn sense, they will fix those holes and the whole area, but I'm not holding my breath.

So now we see the latest land scam - aided and abetted by LL. You or your alt cut up a big chunk of land, abandon, come back and buy it, create extortion style micro parcels, sit back and bask in the destructive income you generate. Love it. This keeps up and I might actually miss the days of adfarms.

This mess is so deplorable. The Arbor project had an arrangement with LL in that they could take arbor parcels that were surrounded by abandoned land in order to rejoin those pieces. We also had an arrangement that we ourselves could abandon those Arbor parcels that were surrounded by abandoned parcels with the FULL UNDERSTANDING that these plots would be rejoined to the others to make a larger sensible parcel. Someone has dropped the ball big time here. Land should not go to auto sale if its less than 256 or 512, and all abandoned parcels need to be contiguous - how hard is that to do?? Many people have put many hours and many lindens in to improve the mainland and this glitch, be it intentional or not, is undoing a lot of good work by good people. LL needs to fix this NOW.
