Thanks for the link to Ener's blog, Graham. Downloaded Greythane's installer for SoaS on the Mac, and to my amazement it is working on a 2021 M1 Pro MBP! This could be very useful.
Anyway, I've several OARs saved from when Paislee and I first joined Kitely, again in 2012 (my first avie, Dot Macchi, joined on 29 March 2012). By coincidence I was already planning to run an archive world with builds from the past. I'll also dig through my screenshot archives.
There are some builds from the early to mid 2010s still in Kitely:

https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/La ... ity-Island -- a showcase world from early days
The following were joint builds from those early days but cannot be accessed now:
Kitely Mentors Group Hangout (the original destination for the weekly meetings)
Kitely Plaza (a city style build on a 2x2)
This is the earliest photo I have for one of the Devokan Storybuilders' builds in Kitely (24 April 2012 -- it was loaded from an OAR built originally by Paislee on OSgrid):

At that time we had regions both in OSgrid and on Kitely, but over the months we moved solely to Kitely. If you search on Flikr for "devokan Kitely" you'll find quite a few more photos, including some of areas within Kitely Plaza.
Here's a photo of the draft build for the transfer station, dated 27 September 2012. Originally the framework structure was placed in a hollow cube using a stylised rock texture; Ada Radius supplied the animated star background sphere used in the final design.

This one is one of my favourites. It was taken at an Echo Starship concert on Time Vault in February 2015. Concert goers could pick up a dragon and fly up to some of the sky builds.
