Bad news (good news for all you Linda Kellie haters): Zadaroo seems to be offline.
Good news (bad news for all you Linda Kellie haters), in case you haven't heard it yet: The Zadaroo content has been uploaded to the Internet Archive late last year.

Zadaroo used to be a website which conserved creations by Linda Kellie from pre-mesh/pre-Clutterfly times as downloads, still under the same free licenses which Linda had put them under.
This included so-called OARs, i.e. archives of entire sims which you can install on a grid. LK Designs (the very early one with the rectangular street layout, the landing on the parking lot, the spa, the big blue house in the north etc.). Freebie Mall 2.0 (the one with the mall with the three half-cylindrical glass roofs, the revolving door and the food court). Boardwalk (the one with the sandy ground and the wooden boardwalk with shops and rides and a Ferris wheel etc.). Avatar Center (the one with the body of water in the middle, blue shops for the gents in the west, pink shops for the ladies in the west). And so on.
It also included textures for skins, for eyes, for hair, for classic layer clothes, for plants and for other objects as well as sculptmaps from which one could make sculpt prims which were quite popular before there was mesh.
It doesn't make it possible to re-create everything she has made. Especially the clothing texture boxes only contain examples as PNG or Targa files and neither all her own variants nor Photoshop or GIMP files. But it does facilitate things which would only be possible by extracting textures from in-world things otherwise.
(Need an explanation about Linda Kellie? That is, beyond the "she's a fucking bitch, and everything that could possibly have been made be her or one of her alts must be boycotted, no matter what" propaganda?)

Linda Kellie's creations certainly vary a lot, but some of it remains very good. Not matter what, back in the days when Opensim was new Linda Kellie was about the only creator producing in volume. It should also be remembered that Linda gave it all for free and completely waived any proprietorial rights allowing anyone to do anything with stuff she made.
Like us all Linda certainly had her moments as a person, and there was certainly some 'drama' around her (again, we ar all subject to or of drama from time to time) and those calling her the worst of names are those talentless individuals who can only import pirated stuff wheras Linda created all her own content.
I didn't always agree with Linda's stance on things, but she stuck to her principles and argued her case, despite the huge emotional toll that took as she was often being trolled in a none too nice way. No one deserves that and there are people who remain blocked by me because of hateful, misogynistic statements about her.

Thanks a lot for taking the time. Sounds really useful stuff for people to learn too!
And no...I tend to take people at face value. I'm sure I am a "f*cking bitch" for many people too, but..*shrugs*
