InfoHUBS - Which is the BEST?

Folks from the Shelter built the Isabel Infohub - our hope was that we could make it a welcoming spot for new residents to rez in. Its within draw-distance range of the Shelter, and it was the first Infohub built specifically to focus on new residents.

Sadly, I think you're spot-on with your comments. Because we were never fully successful in getting Linden to disable scripts & build on the infohub parcel, and there are other non-Linden, or non-Shelter owned parcels right near by..... The Isabel infohub has become something of a cesspool at times with lots of griefing.

What sucks, is folks often come into the Shelter to complain about the goings-on at the Isabel Infohub (mistakenly thinking we 'own' it) - yet we're powerless to do anything, since its Linden land.

On the one hand, it truly makes the Shelter a real "Shelter" away from the Infohub... but it wasn't what we intended at all.

I would love to hear what's worked at the Bear infohub, and how you guys have made it successful. Perhaps we could try to apply some of your lessons learned over at the Isabel hub

I had no paid account until recently which is why no previous posts had been made.
The forums had been read by me however. The only comment I've made is that
Bear is the friendliest, most helpful info hub I've encountered. This is a game where
people come to have a "second life". Some have businesses, some merely come to
play or visit with friends. I pay for the privilege of being here, but many don't and
therefore, can't express their views here. I agree that this thread should be closed
because it keeps going off topic.

Sucks... cause this thread really could have been a productive one. I wish I had found it yesterday when it was just getting started

If you feel its been derailed into personal attacks & drama, in the bottom left-hand corner of each post is a red triangle with an exclamation point.

Linden Lab's goals have advanced over the years - many of us have supported those goals by volunteering for Linden run and endorsed Greeting, Instructing and Mentoring groups. Self appointed 'groups' usually go renegade because of lack of supervision and the need to meet their own personal goals that have very little to do with what Linden Lab wants to see happen in the community.
Standing around in a InfoHub for hours on end, playing pranks and engaging in risque sexual chatter (with the tag 'Bear BITCHES' over their heads) is not a 'community-minded' activity.

Just like gangs - you all came into that area, took it over and insisted you had some stake in it. But you do not. One land owner asked that we try to co-exist and keep the traffic to under 30 in the Hub hanging out and one of you responds by sending out invites for everyone of your group members to have a party in the hub and bring two people each.

If you all really want to help new players (doubtful) Wait until you are 3 months old and then apply for a Linden endorsed volunteer position. Although some of you will not be qualified because of your suspensions for greifing the grid.

also using 2nd life MENTOR tag to promote your own business is defamatory to the cause - Lias, please update your records as well as its now 6 months before applying - comes to something when even the mentors dont know what the new people do. sheesh

Until a few days ago I could only read the forum posts because I had no paid account,
therefore, no posts were made. I replied to a valid question. Other info hubs I've visited
were not as friendly or helpful as the people at Bear. The no script, no rezz features
have kept griefing down in the area as well. Travis, those are the only suggestion I
could make regarding your info hub. I've thoroughly enjoyed the friendships I've made
at Bear, some have been quite long lasting. People come to have a "second life". Some
have businesses, others come to meet friends, chat, shop, and play. I don't think this
thread should be closed because others are now coming to reply to a valid question.

Noone told me to reply.. oh yeah go read 5.5 in the TOS. I think it says that you are entitled to $50 if anything.. that is IF the numbers grow to 43.
