    Should Info Hubs & General Chat Be Removed from SL?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    When I started, I never used these hubs for help.

    I would wander and just ask questions to those I met on how to do this or that. Those that I asked were kind enough to walk me through the steps. Never had anyone give me grief. Granted, SL does have a sharp learning curve and for the most part, newbies will have a difficult time learning some basics. If a newbie reads this post, I suggest they make friends and ask questions, inworld or here in the forum.

    Sincere responses will go a long way in your travels across the grid. In time, you'll be able to help others.

    Second Life demographics

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    It's a safe bet this question has been asked before but has anyone done a demographic research of SL in recent years and what were the results?

    I recall about 5-6 years ago, someone posted a demo sheet that showed a surprising high use of SL by those between 45-60 years of age. I was suspecting a much lower number and higher for ages between 18-30 years of age.

    Dear LL. Make name changes cheaper :P

    I went full premium and changed my name. I felt in the long run, the investment was worth the $99.00 + $40.00.

    Compare it to tearing the bandage off a skinned knee. It hurts at first but the pain goes away and the birds are singing and the clouds are fluffy white. Frankly, if LL ever offers name change to non-premium members, the price could be higher than $40.00 but will give them a chance to remedy any original name they chose and started disliking.

    "Mileage will vary" on others opinion.

    SL Police?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I worked a prison sim for a few years. Next door was a psychiatric hospital that worked closely with the prison and any RP that required an intake of a prisoner.

    One day, we were griefed by some who refused to leave, I mistakenly called on these "police" to assist in ridding the sim of the griefers. Before these LEO's showed up, the hospital super and I remedied the situation and I IM'ed them their services were not needed. Long story short, the "police" were  more trouble to us than the griefers. We ended up booting/banning the "police" who responded. They kept saying an investigation was needed and paperwork had to be filed.

    Now, when I see any "police" tag pertaining to Second Life (and there are/were plenty), I walk away. To me they are nothing but wannabe vigilantes who place more importance to themselves than they do to help.

    Possible national satellite broadcast of Second Life?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Let's say this idea has some merit. I do have a question or two to ask:

    Is WKYC equipped to transmit to a satellite? I trust they have a sat truck to handle uploading a signal. With that said...

    1) How much time or window are you prepared to pay for the use of the truck and transmission?

    2) How far out would you place a reservation on a satellite transponder? Three months or six months? Maybe a year?  A retainer may be required.

    3) On the back side, what distribution costs are you prepared to pay or to propose? Distribution can be a breaker. Make a major motion picture and if you can't get a distributor, it sits in a can before being released.

    4) Is any production insurance involved? If major news breaks, WKYC (or a major news outlet) may need the window you reserved to put their product out, hence you would be bumped. If that were the case, you would need some guarantee of getting some of your investment back. I think the premiums would be on the high side.
