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!</p>Suzanna Soyinka commented on 'OPEN FORUM: WHAT ARE THE TOP 20 TRUE COMMUNITY SITES?

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</p>
<p>Money != Content.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>Gary Hayes commented on 'OPEN FORUM: WHAT ARE THE TOP 20 TRUE COMMUNITY SITES?

The Pond is just behind Apollo (in your list) for example <a href="http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/08/taterus-mixed-4.html" rel="nofollow">http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/08/taterus-mixed-4.html</a></p>
<p>And many community sites are made up of a range of parcels as shown using the Linden figures</p>
