Forum Hangout?

OK - this thread is a continuation from another one so we don't go too far OT in the other. The suggestion has come up that we have a forum hangout - biker bar style. Nika and I are both considering going premium, so we'll have 512 of free tier. I can just rent a spac for my shop when I get ready. That gives us a 1024 plot we can get together. I'd like to see it be sort of a forum project. We could each contribute a little skill (I can't build worth a damn, so unless you want to hang out in a giant plywood box, we're going to need some help. Nika is willing to help build. Derbor has volunteered to help.

My question is, if we build a hangout like this, is there any interest? I'm not asking for $$, just if people would hang out there, maybe contribute a little building skill. ($$ would be nice, I'm a little limited on account of RL stuff and no SL income, but I'd be willing to donate what I can) That would give us a spot for forum events like the Great Matching Primnis Contest. I favor an anything goes approach. Maybe build it up a couple floors. We've got some incredibly talented and creative people here, so I'm sure you could come up with something.

If you all are interested, what input can you give here? Ideas on location? Things you would like to see in the build?

i would say, it'd be nice to have a place to listen to live music and chat with people i enjoy. a theme is always fun, but not necessary. AND.... can be everchanging depending on the owners mood (and time to make changes). i'd go check it out.

also, i can sort of build things.... LOL.... and i love making themed t-shirts when i have time. so, hit me up if'ns you want.

(edit) P.S. i would offer some of my land, but i am revamping (again) and seem to be using all of it suddenly.

I will offer to host a hangout in the skies of The Botanical Gardens.... I'd hate to see someone giving up their ability to do cool stuff on their own land.

I'd love to hang out, if I was welcomed.

And to contribute skills, well, how about I maybe just buy some beer instead?

My castle and graveyard are always open to visitors. Come on by!

I think that would be a great idea. I'd even be willing to go back to premium and donate 512. Just so I can have a place to go besides shopping,lol.

I started a similar thread over in Products Wanted, here are the two posts from there, I'm killing that one now. IOopsie!

We got the land offered... Thanks Isablan

Like I said before... I can buy stuff for the place.. maybe the dance balls... or the dance floor.. or whaeter else we need.

It'll give me an excuse to find the 'grind' dance ball I saw somewhere.. Bits and Bobs does not carry it.. lol

With the right music and atmosphere this could be a good in-world hang out.

Biker Bar:

A little grungy
'Interesting' restrooms
Dance floor
Small stage
Bar
Bar stools
Booths
Pool tables
Good artwork

Good music (I know, I know...)
A couple of knife fights a week

What did I forget?

-

My place has been offered as a hangout before now!

ok, so the land issue isn't up for grabs anymore-lol. I'm willling to do anything to get it off the ground-except build. I'm not any good at it. But i'll donate something thats needed if i have it or lindens to purchase.

Sounds like a coolish idea but I also like meeting up in other places (like mine and the fun time we had at Wheelies!)

The grind ball is probably from Cupid's. It doesn't sync like Bits and Bobs does, though, which is a shame.

if you post that there's a forum party, i don't care where it is. if i am around, i'll come over and hang. someone needs to just DO IT and tell us where to go.. andi don't mean to hell either. LOL

i can make some decor. just need to know exact theme.

OT----

Are you the person who built the botanical gardens? I love that place,so beautiful. If it was you,great job.

I think that with the forum cartel already in existance we tend to offer up our places (me too i was going to have a gathering one night sometime) already we just rotate. Its like we all have our little places and want our friends in the group to see them one day. Myself I have 8192 of land in one parcel and 2048 in another parcel.

the 8k piece has a rooftop deck with dancing and a little bar etc. Also on that land is a "movie house" with a bar and arcade in the bottom, a bike shack with another tv set and place to flop when you get too stoned and in the back is a house that well doubles as just about anything. Its set up for entertaining and just people to hang out at and we send messages in the group from time to time for get togethers. So that's pretty much covered we all have these plots of property for our friends and also wanna share em so I dunno if one specific hangout is even appropriate

editing in aftewards I think i just broke my run on sentance record with this last one *leave it alone and frames it*

I'll donate cash to buy stuff like poses, animations, furniture that people don't want to build, etc. Who's gonna be the treasurer?

If I may offer a suggestion: I think to combine lands and deed them to the group is the best and safest thing to do. That way if there are personal disputes then everyone will still feel welcome rather than not being comfortable with going on "Jane Does" land. It also would further help to ensure the clubhouse continues as people come and go from SL.

I'm willing to offer to help build, but based on my experienced I'm sure plenty others will jump in that have much better building skills than I do.

I agree with the land group donation. People WILL come and go. That way, we could also help to donate tier, etc.

Good point. Friends do come and go pretty quick on the internet sometimes.

Just curious: Now say if six people donated to the group 512,would there still be a tier to pay?(If that 512 is the only land each person owns.)

yep, i'm all for that, so there are no disputes in the future--seems like the safest way to go!

Nope, Rioko, no ongoing tier until/unless donaters removed their donated tier.

*happy dance*

I think somebody just sent me a Harley logo inworld ... thank you!!!!

and FREE OF CHARGE I'm donating the "Do You Want Sex Now?" poster!

I will donate a copy of my "Bar In Box - Rusty Nail Bar and Grill" It comes with the building, a bar and counter, bar stools, tables and chairs. I have a demo sitting in Stout (221,52,24). I also have an assortment of Gazebos and docks to match.

I think we definitely need either pillow fights or mudfights, and a mechanical bull somewhere in there.
