Is this project still active? All the links are dead now, but I live in
hope that it's merely been moved...

As far as I know, it's dead.  It's been at least three years since I heard
anything about it.

There is at least one place I found about it.

I'm remaking my website at the minute, so do you think anyone would be interested if
I were to resurrect POV-City as part of it? (Obviously I'll Need Michael's
premission first)

If I was to incorporate POV-City in my forthcoming website, would there
still be interest in it? I don't want to step on POV-Street's toes, so
perhaps we could work something out between us?

I remember that the first (and last) time I was there there was a building
with a big swastika right in front... It was a little bit strange, to say
the less, and may have had something to do with the disappearance of the
project.

Nice city gone bad?  Well, not like total and absolute freedom couldn't be
somewhat constrained (censored).  The images I've seen of the project showed
promise.

I guess in keeping with realism such a place would have every form of
civilization, culture, and anarchy.  Which, as a rendered conglomerate,
could be rather interesting.  Only that if it were not policed and
politicked it wouldn't look anything but a mess  :-)

Ah, so that's where I made this post. I'm moving my discussion to
povray.general, but you can (obviously!) continue your own stuff here.
(Like a little upstart like me could stop you two!)
