There should be a HUGE party when telehubs go away

That's not to say they won't change their mind, but I think at the moment the idea is fairly firmly to nerf hubs completely.

...which is exactly what I think should be left there! Leave the non working telehubs where they are, a monument to themselves and a bygone era. Maybe texture them to look older and more worn, and a historical explanation on a plaque or something :)

...and then when they decide this was all a huge mistake, it's easy to just turn them all back on again ;)

Seriously though, this is something I wish we had - a tangible history instead of recounted tales of how it used to be. When stuff becomes obsolete like this, it'd be great to leave it so that we eventually build up a visible history of 'ancient sites'. I mean, this can obviously only really be Linden stuff, cuz not many people are going to pay to host them, but still, I think it'd be cool.

Careful what you wish for guys/gals! ;)

What'll probably end up happening (in my opinion) is the following...

1. PTP Teleports will be FREE. People will find ways to use it for griefing. People won't explore as much.
2. PTP Teleports will cost L$10/teleport. Those without lots of money will quickly tire of paying so much L$ and will complain that only the rich can afford the cost
3. PTP Teleports will cost L$1/teleport. Same thing
4. Restrict PTP Teleports to Premium Members. Complaints about second-class citizenship from free members.


My suggestion to LL would be the following (though it would hurt my currently implemented PTP Teleportation system and advertiser directory)...

Implement PTP Teleports only through the FIND menu. Allow parcel owners to PAY say L$500/week or some L$ per teleport. Then, you'd make PTP ONLY WORK to places where people advertised. If someone is on a ban-list at that property, they wouldn't be able to PTP teleport there. This would stop random PTP teleportation throughout the world.

Dang, I feel like GOM now :(

To kick off the party...I might actually join a few groups that I've left. I couldn't take the constant:

"TP me please!"

"TP ME!"

"I need a TP!!"

"HEY! Where's my TP?!"
