Rathe, as you know several residents of Taber and Clementina have contacted you and Si Money recently to propose swapping the land where your billboard is in Taber for a similar sized parcel in Stillman near the teleport pad -- presumably a much more high traffic area than its current location.
I'm not here to revive the billboard debate, and don't intend this as an insult to you or a criticism of your hard work. I take it as a given that you have the right to buy and build anywhere you want, and that the billboards are indeed an incredible accomplishment both in terms of realism and level of detail.
All I ask is the courtesy of a response. The idea seems to have advantages for you as well as us.

what about those in Stillman? I assume that you want the land swap so that you can rid your neighborhood of a billboard... NIMBY at its worst?
if i'm reading this right, it doesnt sound like you'd be solving the issue, just moving it to a new locale.

bumpity-bump.
so last night i visited with kelwyn and saw the sign. i also did some research on the boards, and (plz correct me if i'm wrong) this billboard issue has been around for some time. it also doesn't sound like there is any solid resolve to this issue. both sides have legitimate claims. oh, what to do..
anyway, here are some things i noticed about the billboard:
- it's HUGE. if i were anywhere near that big, i'd be a star.
- it's very well built. very realistic, with nice touches such as parent company branding.
- it gives out a landmark to a biz that doesn't exist (at least the one i tried about 2 weeks ago was that way).

Actually, i haven't seen Rathe or Si come on in days. Not sure if it's because they aren't on when i'm on or not, in fact, I don't think the buisness they are advertising there even exists anymore. Maybe they should update them, or tear them down all together.

It doesn't -- we're busy with RL -- it's scheduled to either be updated or removed. Most of them are gone already.
Sorry guys, we're just busy.
