So many people seem to find their enemies in neighbors.
I've had a little mainland plot for 11+ years now. One neighbor who at first held land adjacent to one side of my plot eventually bought up all plots surrounding mine, and has banlines which annoy me because it boxes me into my own plot. It doesn't have much practical effect on me- my house is in a skybox and I don't actually encounter the banlines unless I fall off my platform or accidentally jettison an object off my land. But what if I wanted to live on the ground?
For 11+ years, I've never communicated with my neighbor or his guests, nor have I seen them (except as dots on the mini-map). They must not do any particularly laggy activities, like a sex club or animal breeding, because I've rarely experienced any lag. I've never seen any offensive structures. And now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen any structures on that property- he and his friends must have a skybox higher than mine. (So I understand the banlines even less.)
Hearing stories about others' experiences with their neighbors, I'll live with the banlines and consider myself lucky.
Amity--I have a similar experience here in Sinaburoe, and find it a mixed blessing. I've lived in the same spot for 11+ years on mainland, and years ago, slowly expanded it from a 512 to whatever the heck it is now. Years ago it was often laggy, had dubious neighbours who'd move in, do sometimes annoying stuff, move out again when their hustle failed. An animal sex place used to be just over the sim line and it took innocent me ages to work out why these noobie-looking dorks kept coming to my place trying to "fondle my horns" (I still have horns much of the time as I love excellent goats, just not in THAT way) . I look back and laugh my head off at the ridiculous fun and horror.
So years ago, stuff used to happen, whether for good or bad....there was a community of people who gardened together. It was friendly, and had variety.
But as of a few years back, some guy moved in to Sina and the surrounding sims and started buying. And he didn't stop. He bought everything as it became vacant, and his banlines went up. But he never has made anything of the land. It's vacant at ground level and for much of the sky and shut off from anyone but his "clan". He destroyed all travel, exploration, community for sims around and he's a total ass-stain to communicate with.
Hope he's not my Enemy.
But, it's quiet here. No lag. I can keep my mainstore here knowing no laggy nightclub is likely to be setting up on the sim. So far, there's predictability, which used to be unheard of on Mainland. I built an airport in the sky, so I can fly out over his banlines, and its a gorgeous place for a stopover.
So--mixed blessings.
. I used to edit non-mod meshes (in mod ones I can cover faults up with textures while cannot in non-mod) in my temp files for photo purposes if there was something wrong with it. A dude asked me how and I answered and he got mad as not very honest way and that was that. Year later I found a totally personal rant about me on facebook that went for ages. I forgot contents but it was rather irrelevant to the whole topic and went on about how many alts I had (I do and the kicker is - I list them in case someone needs to contact me and dude screengrabbed my own list of them) and some other similar sins. Response was even better as people were as puzzled as me. I think dude somehow banned me from few shops at one point because what if I remove visual faults in stuff of people he knoooows but it could have been random. Yep, it was not best practice but I would have expected a ban or report or anything logical. I did not save the Facebook rant
