Starting out the morning in Lime.
EXITING LIME
It's kind of silly, but I like this empty sim.
EMPTY HUB IN LIME
This must be that "extra" infohub mentioned in the Wiki to be used in case of overly heavy grid traffic elsewhere.
NIGHTMARISH TERRAFORMING
A good example of the probable reason why most land is only terraformable a few meters in each direction. The Color Sims, and some others on the older part of the mainland, can be terraformed 40 meters in either direction. It's nice flexibility, but results in things like above...NASTY! If you own a private sim, the land can be terraformed 100 meters up or down. MOST private sim owners do take more time to make it look nice so you don't often see this crap on private sims.
BOARDMAN
Boardman was originally opened as a zoned sim, with prefab homes and an Open Market. It was advertised as a "no-hassle" and "inexpensive" way to buy land and set up a home in Second Life. Residents were also encouraged to use "I AM" signs, which would give a notecard with information when clicked, to easily find fun neighbors and tell others about themselves.
BOARDMAN INFORMATION
Talk to da hand! This little stand gave me an old info card, circa 2003 from Eric Linden:
Welcome to Boardman! Boardman is a controlled building community. A small suburban area, Boardman is the perfect place to build your home if you're looking for a nice, quiet region without the stores and looming towers you might find building elsewhere.
Here are some helpful guidelines to help maintain Boardman:
You can own as much land as you want, but your build in Boardman MUST be a conventional residence that might be seen in a suburb. This means that stores, dance clubs, sheep farms, and any other non-house builds are not permitted within Boardman.
**Note: the following zoning regulations will be enforced:
* No terraforming. The land stays the way it is.
* No buildings taller than 15 meters. All buildings must be attached to the ground.
* You must build within your own property lines.
* No objects for sale, except within the stalls in the center of the region.
* No signs permitted.
* Noisy or flashing textures, particles, excessive and/or looping sounds, or any script that puts unnecessary strain on the region will be removed.
This region is located within a PG-Rated territory. All applicable rules, laws and community standards apply.
***Open Air Market***
This area in the middle of the region has been set up for people to sell or trade goods.
OPEN AIR MARKET
GARDEN
This is owned by a group called the Boardman Preservation Society.
My thought is, historically the records indicate that Boardman "didn't do well" in popularity. But I think the idea would work good in the new Linden Home areas. There are no general gathering spots in those where people could rez things for a party, have a little stall...etc..Linden Homes might be more popular if the sense of community was broadened.
