As far as I know, Ravenglass did end up with it, but kept it named Botany's Campground.

Crimson, it is where I owned my very first piece of SL. Or maybe Alta for sentimental reasons. It would also be nice to return Tan to its original glory, but most of those builds are long gone.

Tethys, is still my all time favorite. I wouldn't want it now, the current build is perfect on it.

I'm seriously considering buying up a snow sim. (but i'm poor and can't really afford tier on an entire sim)

I like snow sims as well. I like the linden snowy pines.

Who owns Crimson anyways? For about a year there was nothing on it.

Hudson still owns Crimson lock, stock and barrel. Most of it is for rent and I has a sad that Joshua's not my neighbor anymore.

@ Raymond, I meant after the Slate group turned down bidding on the Ravenglass sim when it first went up for auction per my previous post. The Ravenglass Corporation of Evol Landbarony does in fact now own the Botany Campground in Carlilse though I think it's under Random Unsung's land preserve group.

Yeah, Crimson had a brief renaissance there, with Joshua, Ruby, Io, Zorena, Kavik, Alexa, Freya, Raindrop, Peasan, and Parker all hanging. Who's still there? I'm still in the north of Olive, waiting to see what Maxx does with Indigo!

I left Crimson after Hudson covered the sim in crappy rental boxes and didn't get back to me for almost two weeks. So I picked up my shop and moved back to Pi.

It looked like I was really the last straggler. When I left there was nothing else there. It was really disappointing.

Darn. I understand Hudson wanted to be able to have it automated since he doesn't log in much, but rental boxes are really, really ugly. It was fun having you guys in the neighborhood!

After this announcement, I would own Slate and an openspace sim.

Only they won't let Mainland sim owners purchase an openspace sim for some reason.

That announcement is kind of cool. Basically, you get 15,000 prims, and FOUR sims for $300 a month. That's perfect for things like parks and underwater builds. You could do a huge coral reef, for example.

I could see Khamon going hog wild there.

Regards,

I've always needed far more landscape than prims, but can't afford an estate AND a set of voids. The gardens can currently afford to maintain the Slate and Taber land plus a couple of openspaces with the hope of adding some additional ones over time. But I'm not dumping the Mainland for an estate just to be eligible to purchase voids.

Luo ... I owned quite a lot of it back in the day and one of the few places I wish I had never sold.

Bradmoor...I owned all but a 16m plot that Chinman fassbinder or whatever the hell he is called had his delightful ads on. Despite being hilly I have fond memories of that sim.
