From: Marcos Fonzarelli You were stuck there? Was something wrong with Dore? I don't understand?  Well I didn't know how to teleport, I didn't know how to fly or land properly and I didn't know what there was to do.. Until I saw alot of green dots on the mini map and somehow got to them and it was an SL Basics. From: FlipperPA Peregrine Thanks for asking for our input, Ryan.
I'd recommend allowing certain groups to apply for the plots. I'd give one big plot to the mentors, one big plot to the live helpers, and see what they can do. Next in line for plots would be charity groups, such as VERTU, and finally, non-profits.
Groups could apply for the plots in a similar fashion to what is being proposed for major projects like Neverland.
Perhaps also have a "Destination Station" where people could apply to have their non-profit destinations have an "instant teleport" feature set up. In other words, "click here for neverland", "click here for Lusk Wood", "click here for Mesede Skate Park."
Just some ideas.
Regards,
-Flip Best idea so far Flip.. I'm with that. Zap |

From: Brad Lupis I would love to be able to help out the FotF anyway I can. Unfortunatly, most of my Tier is set up for Slate right now (as me and Bob are the two main land holders), so giving up land isn't too much of an option for me. I have a few ideas as to what we can do with the land so as to ensure that it stays as user-friendly as possible, and still give people what they want in the area. I could write up a proposal as to what my ideas are, which pretty much boils down to a mini SL area. We can take a bunch of the ideas that have been placed in SL already, a mall, a club, some artistic builds, a few houses, but have the residents keep tabs on it to ensure that it doesn't become too laggy. Of course we'd keep it within a theme build. The mall would have just a few vendors, which we could come up with some way of rotating the vendors so everyone can have a shot at selling there (since it would be prime selling land). All the vendors would have to be PG, and we'd have strict rules as to how items can be sold, and things like that. And we could set up a mini club, call it club newbie or something so that they get a feel for the other clubs in SL, but of course, that would also be watched closely to ensure that it doesn't put a big hit on the server. I think that with a close eye on the things going on in that area, we could give new residents a taste of SL, without scaring them off with the thought of Lag and such. If anyone would like to help me write up this proposal, send me a PM, and we'll disscus what could possibly done with the area so as to make everyone happy. Brad, want to know what location would be perfect for that sort of thing? There's a grid of Linden-built roads in Borrowdale, the sim right next to Waterhead that are more or less begging to have a town-like area put in it, in a similar way that the sim to the south of it, Brampton is begging for boat docks. Both sims are likely to fall outside FotF jurisdiction, though I have a personal interest in doing a marina build in Brampton that would stilll fall under the forest theme. |

Not too sure, haven't really explored the area enough to really know. But i'd be happy to help someone build a small town area in the area, with things that will be checked to make sure they all run well and don't cause too much of a hit to the sim itself. I can't really offer much land tier, because most of mine is in Slate land, but I could give some.
