The following is excerpted from the posts that started this thread. It is placed here in order to clear up any misconceptions about where "StudioCity 2000" had it's origins. The earliest ideas regarding this current iteration of a virtual community are rooted in Sanford Kennedy's musings. They were found in the IPAS Usage subject area under a thread titled "Help with Explode.AXP" and were part of an exchange between he and Bill Batchelor. Paul Sanford conceived of the name. And I, the ever-present cheerleader, said "Go Team, Go Team Go": Sanford Kennedy: (#136830 S1/IPAS Usage #Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94) I will upload a project file of part of the "city" I am doing a couple of neighborhoods. I'm naming streets, etc. Like Sim City, but in 3D Studio. Max Ehrlich: (#136886 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94) I have some office space for rent…. if any one is interested …. Bill Batchelor: (#136911 S1/IPAS Usage #Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94) … it would be kinda' interesting if a project was passed around and members contributed geometry, maps, etc. to merge into it…. Sanford Kennedy:(#136979 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/19/94) I wonder if the zoning laws will allow the construction of a Virtual Office building on Forum property? Paul Sanford: (#136991 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/19/94) What if anyone interested took a block, or a corner of oldcity.3ds? Put up your own high-rise (238 floors), open a store (Mutants Are Us), put some people/creatures out front, vehicles, signs, etc… If people are interested in contributing, I could do the "zoning," …. StudioCity 2000. Anyone interested? Kevin Gibson:( from #:137912 S12/Take 5/Want Ads #StudioCity 2000 11/25/94 ) ( Citing all of the above comments I added my own two cents. ) ( I ) would like… a meeting place where edibles and good company can be found… The operating name is John's Joint. … I… am interested in establishing ….The Virtual Ballroom, Thought should be given to "green space,"…. Perhaps a rural area adjacent to StudioCity 2000 could be studied and implemented. Can we do this without politicians? Say yes, please. However, If we must have a mayor, then I want to toss my hat into the ring. May I suggest… The StudioCity 2000 Development Committee.
