What do I do with Neko Shinto Shrine?

I'm not sure what else to do in this situation, so if anyone can offer some advice, that'd be great. I sent out the following to those in my group, so it explains my situation -



Hi, Hi, everyone.

I have some news.

At this time I can no longer hold the land where Neko no Jinja, the Neko Shinto Shrine (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Necros/224/9/44) is.

Some possible solutions for the Shrine are -

(A) Someone buy the region - The shrine uses about 2300 prims (could be less or more depending on what you want). This includes the shrine, trees, meeting house, onsen and other little bits. This is about 15% of a sim. This may be an option if someone wants to buy the shrine area. Some items are no transfer, so the buyer would only get their use and not own them.

(B) Transplant the Shrine - The shrine would need about 2300 prims. I could transplant the items somewhere else in SL if someone wants to offer up some land. I'd even maintain it and update it if you want.

(C) Stow in Inventory - I may reconstruct the Shrine, bigger, better etc. at some point in the future. At least I'd like to.

I am very sad to have to leave the shrine. There was more I wanted to do with it, and will some day do.

I am really thankful to everyone for their support and love over the years. A special shout out and thankies goes to Goddess Sensi Bliss, who landscaped and helped so much with the land. *kitty sniffles*

If you're interested in helping out in some way, let me know.

Purrs & Headbonks,
Lu, Neko Onmyoji




Is there anything else I can do to preserve the shrine in some way? Thanks for any advice. And yeah, I know this could be seen as blatant advertising -- if you want me to move this to another forum area, tell me which one because I have no idea.

Maybe you could deed it to group and ask for tier donations?

It sounds like it would fit nicely on a opensim. Is there an option to develop a virtual neko foundation that pays monthly to cover the tiers of an opensim rental? A opensim rents for about $28,000L a month. So twenty foundation members could pay $350L a week to maintain it and use it for low-attendance activities (since opens will only have an avatar limit of 20 in January).

You can get a membership machine at http://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1095102.
This will allow people to make payments and receive reminders. No group membership required.

I am actually turningin a opensim to my landlord come January 1st because I moved to a full sim. You could move the shrine here if you had enough supporters to cover the monthly rent. No purchase price for sim. If you set this up I will happily be one of your twenty supporters.

Let me visit it - I'm Neko, and very much interested in Japanese culture. I happen to have a large open space on the ground-level of my half-sim, and have about 4000 free prims - haven't found a good way to decorate it yet. This sounds like it may just be the thing. I'll post a follow-up here as soon as I can.

I would hate to see the beautiful area lost. While my land isn't on a hillside, I definitely would love to host this for you, if transplantation is still an option. I'll be contacting you in-world.

I would definitely chip in in the 350L$ plan....unfortunately I couldn't afford the WHOLE shrine, and it's a really beautiful place.
