    Surprisingly, however flawed the methodology, the stats (which put Pond as No.1 brand Lowell and ABC No.5) are not the concern here, it is Tateru’s comment about the Pond

    “With these two factors, you could just about level the build, transform the area into a sandbox and have it do as well.”

    Tateru, I worked very hard to make the Pond a great community place for Australian’s and I really take offence at this comment. Can I suggest you actually go there, see what it is your flatenning and speak to the inhabitants who hang around in large numbers before you make such remarks. As I built the ABC sim too I think we should be proud that two non-international Oz brands are doing so well and less of the digs please.

    I’ve been there! I spend quite a bit of time there, actually. I *do* very much like the build.

    Sorry skribe I care and am passionate about what environments I create and an entitled to be as precious as I like, thankyou very much. Send me some slurls of your large creations and I will provide you with constructive critism.

    And thank you Tateru for some reason “level the build” struck the wrong chord 😉
