I love the care with which residents continue to create this world, and the moles (Michael Linden, head LDPW mole, actually built the arrow) are especially great with their meaningful, detailed, and often wryly humorous builds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086774680221828622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-23092364829292650332016-02-06T06:57:45.262-08:002016-02-06T06:57:45.262-08:00I am very pleased with this blog and am excited to...I am very pleased with this blog and am excited to continue reading. Back in the first few months into SL,(8 years ago with my first avi) I bought my first piece of mainland and built like crazy. In a short time I had ridiculous lag and my friends convinced me it was a mainland fault and that I should, as the trend was, move to an island. I didn't realize it was probably my own fault with my newbie building skills, and have regretted the loss of that piece of land ever since. After a couple years I went back to mainland and got a nice piece of ocean front property on top of Corsica. I came to love the diversity of mainland. I found it inspiring. I felt lonely on island estates. And talk about ugly builds; quartered sand lot sims with six people living there with all different in-cohesive themes. I love exploring mainland, riding the trains, sailing the seas,driving the roads and the history.I find it sad how empty it has become. I hope this blog with help revitalize it some.The Storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993246453211939716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-73922759480150171042016-02-06T06:33:38.338-08:002016-02-06T06:33:38.338-08:00Love East River Community! :)Love East River Community! :)The Storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993246453211939716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-73404896445749878352016-02-06T06:23:26.323-08:002016-02-06T06:23:26.323-08:00Congratulations on the launch of Mainland Matters!...Congratulations on the launch of Mainland Matters!Ziki Questihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655751928259820128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-85827324537751108262016-02-06T05:54:57.045-08:002016-02-06T05:54:57.045-08:00Ah... and thank you for the mention. :)Ah... and thank you for the mention. :)Indigo Mertelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133128618256487243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-37391388826093050612016-02-06T05:53:18.989-08:002016-02-06T05:53:18.989-08:00As one of the founders of East River I fully agree...As one of the founders of East River I fully agree with your views on Mainland.

This post was great and like Sasy commented, the RL history lesson was particularly of interest. thanks!mungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247043999620778428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364380111461184864.post-6065654137779844632016-02-05T21:02:41.843-08:002016-02-05T21:02:41.843-08:00Hi, this post was awesome, not only did I get the ...Hi, this post was awesome, not only did I get the connection to SL2.0 being called Sansar, with your mention of the first continent being Sansara, but I also got a history lesson. I always find Second Life Residents fascinating, in that their RL love of history or travel etc can produce something in world that represents that, even down to some what others may see as random arrows on the ground, in their own right have a very rich story to tell. <br /><br />Thank you for this post and thank you for your ability to point out these things so incredibly well.<br /><br />Sasy ScarboroughSasy Scarboroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720132011114774530noreply@blogger.com
