Great idea for a true top 20 SL list - but surely Tateru's own posts on your site from 3 days ago suggests that branded areas can be strong community ones too? The Pond is just behind Apollo (in your list) for example http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/08/taterus-mixed-4.html

And many community sites are made up of a range of parcels as shown using the Linden figures

If only the Lindens could work this out. While I'm sure the people giving away lots of money count for the lower end of the SL Economy, ergo the newer players and those that remain, for some reason, terminally disadvantaged in the area of buying Lindens, regardless I have always believed the following equation in SL

Money != Content.

When I first got here the first few people I spent my time around told me that you couldn't get people to come to your place without giving away money. I shot that theory full of holes.

This list is far more representative of the real content in Second Life. Though if I was to be honest Phatland is about 2/3rds shopping, 1/4th dancing. But still not a bad place as non camper content goes.

THANK YOU! This list is a most welcome sight. I am the owner of NoRSim and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to see pseudo-traffic sims pushing down legitimate traffic sims. I can say for a fact that NoRSim and CoLA both actively eject idling people after a certain amount of time (10-30 minutes to be fair to RL emergencies). So our traffic is true traffic and its good to see a list comparing places with true traffic. Thanks again and WAY TO GO BALLROOM DANCING!

What about The Shelter? It's traffic may be misleading since it crosses 2 sims.
