How come there are always a large amount of empty Bens lots? It seems that they haven't even been assigned to an owner

I watched that this past weekend. Still just as wonderfully wierd as ever.


And I'm wondering the same as Dustin. I find Busy Ben's to be an important cornerstone in my marketing, and a fab-u-lous step up for the lucky new vehicle maker. I'm always astonished that there are empty spots.

Dear Mick, what do you think of the idea of a minimum move-in time before the lot's considered abandoned ad passed on to the next in line?

See, when Ben gets upset he shoots lasers out of his eyes. Sometimes they vaporize cars... Or avatars!!!!

I've noticed that my lot has a 10-min autoreturn set now, so it seems that specific problem's been addressed.

Thanks for your interest in Busy Bens! We have just completed a revamp of the Busy Bens and Luna sites, and the succesful lottery winners are in the process of moving in now :)

The next cycle of leases for a spot in Busy Ben's will commence around May 15th, please keep an eye on the forums prior to then for details of how to enter in the next lottery draw.

I won a spot, got invited to the group but was never told where I was to set up at or when.

Hmm. hunt about in your notecards - or ask Mick for a new copy. It was the one with all the rules and whatnot, but Mick added the spot number the recipient was assigned this time.

That sucks when you get notecards offline - you don't know about them unless you happen to see that you accepted inventory from whoever or whoever tells you they sent you one.... you get no other notice... :(

Yup sure enough the notecard was in my inventory and it contained the lot #. Wish I had noticed it was given to me.
