Looking at this list, are there at least some portals that should be dropped?

(248.5, 60.0, 220.5) - Spawn (space needle)
(-28.5, 49.0, -272.5) - bobsky's Atoll (Perhaps the atoll can be unconnected? Go by boat?)
(-52.5, 73.0, 353.5) - BryCo Petroleum

(21.5, 12.0, 137.5) - Spider/Skellie Spawner (Is this necessary any longer, what with the End Trap? Perhaps no portal?)

(333.5, 33.0, -250.5) - ocean portal N of Drew's - not connected (Gone with update?)

My notes are up for discussion. I just think we should keep the clutter down to a minimum.

Bruce's monument at the SkyRanch should only be accessible by portal. That long path out from the atoll should be deleted. It will give it a more mysterious quality and remove what I believe to be a blight. Also, the atoll is no longer used by anyone, so it should just be reachable by boat, rather than portal. Nothing against Bruce at all. He contributed a great deal and the traps will live long and prosper, but let's face it: he's gone. We shouldn't maintain every portal just for nostalgia. The Mob Trap and the monument at SkyRanch should be sufficient memorials reachable by portal, only. The End Trap will remain with us, and I don't think the skellie spawner is even useful any longer. The End trap is more than capable of meeting all our XP needs.

Also, the portals that have not bee connected up to this point should just be ignored. Clearly, they are not being used and will be a waste of resources and time.

I have no plans to reconnect the dome. I may take it down completely and build a more dramatic piece in its place. No portal will be necessary for now.

Thoughts?
