Here’s an increasingly common occurrence. You arrive on an island and it looks like there might be a bot colony there. You land where a lot of green dots are situated and sure enough, no one is around. But when you look at your mini-map, the arrows are pointing up, not down. So the bots are not in a skybox….
But, wait a second. Right under this gazebo there is only ground. Could it be…?
Yes, it’s true. Don’t be fooled by what you see in the background What you’re looking at is a box of bots underneath the ground. Not in a tunnel or cave, but actually embedded inside the dirt, where avatars (in theory) can’t go.
There are18 bots jammed in a 2x2x2 box. It’s a pretty tight squeeze, so prim hair and skirts just stick out. Messy! I expect bot farmers to be tidier than this. Also note that this Bot-Box is a product someone actually sells openly. Talk about slimy.
Inside the box you can sort of see how the bots are shoved together. It’s a little difficult because some of them are rezzing
Move in a little closer and you can see how crazily the bots’ twisted bodies overlap. That’s a lot of bots in a very small space, and the result is almost… art.

I actually found my first bot colony UNDER the construction of a sim. It appears they were put into a pocket in the sim’s ground which was paved over. No bot box, although their ghostly vapor bodies looked packed in there.
Say, I know you visit the Japanese sims a lot, but have you been to the ATLUS one? It’s how I imagine Japanese sims would be, rather than the rather bland orderly constructions I see all over the magsl grid. The mascot is this cutsely jester creature, and the city sits atop this big mesa with a very vegas-like build.

Garth!Sell that last picture to an art colector!You’ll make bagillionz!O_O
why don’t you create a blacklist of these sites? also all these should be AR-ed unless they have paid the $10 for each of these alts.
also, one can have max 5 avies so, its clearly against the TOS and should be reported.
You know, I did that once and nothing came of it. All I can hope is that a) Someone from LL is reading and b) the removal of Popular Places will make these go away, anyway.
Seems to be gone now — I should’ve jumped on that right away. Rats.
