Infohub at Orientation Island Public
The clone of the old Orientation Island new resident experience.
Infohub at Help Island Public
The first public clone of the hidden Hekp Island locations used for new residents.
Infohub at Help Island Public2
Another clone of the hidden Help Island, this location is as sterile as I remember it from early 2006. There are some tutorials, seating spots, freebies and even a rez area, not exactly a sandbox given its meager size. While the entire region is owned by Linden Lab, there is enough water to make it barely have a region in land mass. Claimed June 30, 2004, it really shows its age. For a performance boost this one instance has no neighbors on three sides.
Infohub at Mauve
emOt(i)Con, the Mauve Infohub is listed as being currently in development by Chip Poutine. Claimed March 3, 2006 and assigned to the group Infohub Builders, the landing parcel is a mere 5,152m2, though another parcel must be hiding somewhere to support the extra prims the parcel supports. The current description reads: “emOt(i)Con, the Mauve Infohub, will be YOUR meeting place for events, info, freebies or just hanging out!” There are signs for the GNUbie store and NCI, as well as a Redident Advertising space. It appears to be fully automated with no description on a limit to how many may advertise. Other kiosks surround the center information display which is comprised of colored glass panels with simple icons that don’t really denote their purpose. There is a lot of seating including stadium-style surrounding the central area which can easily support more residents than can be allowed in the region.
Infohub at Hyles
Hyles Swamp Infohub was developed by Kim Anubis & Friends, and is one hideous example of public land to foist on new residents. Assigned to the group The Magicians, claimed December 13, 2005, 15,312m2 of land is set to this parcel which nearly forms a square around the permitter of the region. I say “nearly” because directly to the north of the Infohub’s rez area is some asshole’s ban-lined parcel. Like the build itself, the description of the parcel is incomplete: “Get Linden info, fish for free, launch your boat, or just kick back on the porch and listen to the frogs. Great place to set a”. Yeppers, cuts off right there. And of course the description is a lie because all Linden land is set to “no build” so no one is rezzing a boat.
Infohub at Calleta
Calleta’s Hobo Railroad Infohub was developed by Orhalla Zander and is assigned to the group Hobo Reservation. At the time of this writing the land is marked claimed on February 28, 2006. The description on the parcel reads, “It be dah home fer deh homeless tah enjoy sl, fishin n sleepin in dar boxes. Com’er down n relax.” Gotta love the colloquialism! The main plot is 13,136m2 but an additional 12,336m2 of Protected Land makes nearly half of the region Governor Linden-owned land. This area also features a stretch of the Second Life Railroad (SLRR).
