That's not 2006.
That's back in 2005 or so, about a year prior. _____________________

I think the biggest downer for me now is, the map.
I used to look at the map, pick a new place & go explore. Now it takes SOOOOOO long for the map to load and even then you run into the "private sim" you cant get to. _____________________

Wow, those maps are something. I came in just over a year ago when Nautilus and Corsica weren't even being started. I used to like to zoom in on Map and look around. If it had a telehub, I figured I was safe to go there. Once I found a 6 or 8 sim island on Map and I haven't been able to find it since. I didn't think to write the name down, oh well.

Not sure about your date Tod - the Southern continent existed in October 2006 - that's when I joined and I had my first land there. _____________________

Yeah, I think that seems about right, because I owned land in Disl around that point, and I recall it looking exactly like that when I'd open the map to explore. Now I'm in a totally different continent. _____________________

It's kinda nice to see that some of the first sims I ever explored (Boardman, Kissling etc) are some of the oldest. Even though I didn't join until Sept 06.

Ya, dat date can't be right: I joined in February 2006 and started living in Islandia in March of dat year -- Islandia doesn't even exist on dat map. Mari _____________________

Wow, what a difference. Just shows you how far SL has come.
How often do they change the map on the viewer? I took down my huge swimming pool two weeks ago and it is still showing on the map. |

Considering my join date, I know the map comes sometime after. Give or take a few months.

I did that map by taking screenshots then pasting them into Photoshop into one big map. Took alot of time. It'd probably take even longer now that the map takes for-ever to load.  _____________________
