@animats .... well the idea you have is clever, but the point of the long channels is to enhance the travel experience for sailors, aviation enthusiasts, and to stimulate land ownership on other continents because of greater connectivity "without" teleporting.
-
The shorter routes can be easily used since private sims in the way can be easily relocated without substantial consequence to the sim owners, which they really don't own. LL does and can allocate priority to a project like this, for the benefit of many more users than a few sim owners. On your 2nd point, OS sims 'are' individual sims. If you mean homesteads or private regions, the difference is that they can run many more OS sims on a single server than the other 2 types of sims, and server cost and maintenance would be a consideration for LL. The less servers needed to host the channels, the cheaper it will be for LL to maintain them. As for the ban lines and private estates, that's where LL could circumvent them with a bend in the road. If they decide to use 80 to 100 sims to build a channel, then redirecting the channel with a few extra shouldn't be a big issue for them

good point. And to put that into perspective, biting that bullet would cost 500 for setup, 295 a month for the full sim, then 225 for setup, and 125 a month for EACH additional homestead. So even 1 full sim and 20 homesteads, would cost a person $5,000 USD just to get started, and a monthly tier cost of $420 USD. You would need to actually be rich to afford a 99 homestead sim community as a hobby or even to afford the tier until it's all rented out. So I doubt that the channel(s) being bought and paid for by residents is likely scenario, and then there's the problem of people abusing the themed rules and possibly blocking passage by using security orbs that extend beyond the allowed distance. I think Open Space Sims is the best way to go here, and LL can afford the maintenance on that easily. Also another perspective on the financial aspect, is that if you combine the income LL generates from all the average non-rich users including marketplace taxes, L purchase fees, and land tiers, and compare it to the tier income from all the land barons that spend little to no money on anything but land tier (hence the reason they all look like newbs), I would bet money that the average users FAR outweigh the land barons. AND .... a lot of the tier cost for the land barons, is paid for by average residents that rent from them, so the barons aren't even paying most of their own tier to begin with. Point being that the everyday average consumers and tenants that actually spend time with activities in world, should have more of a say as to what happens with their SL grid
-
With all due respect to everything else you said in your post, these 4 lines are the only relevant statements to the topic and purpose of this forum. The point of the forum is to have an open dialog about connecting the mainland continents, and to hopefully persuade LL to make it a priority, so anything spoken off the main topic should be avoided, since it will serve to be anti-productive towards the goal here.
-
if LL used OS sims, which can be low cost and many hosted on fewer servers, the potential to connect the continents even with a 1 sim wide channel could be very profitable for them by also being able to connect to large privately owned sim communities via 1 or 2 homestead water sim connections from the channel. Only so many people are allowed to build sim communities attached to the Blake area, so this would open the door for other people willing to make the investment, to add more multi sim communities that have the attraction and advantage to have access to and from the larger mainland part of the grid. Great idea for all types of travel or exploring enthusiasts as well as Real Estate investors that know that all land on the grid will be more valuable if it's more accessible without teleporting there. It's been officially said that the 1 thing that causes the most lag in SL is teleporting. I'll dig up the link to that information if someone cares to ask for it. But connecting the continents is something I've personally been wishing for as a aviator and sailor for years. The only feasible reason I can think of, that would stop LL from doing this would be Blake Sea and surrounding area land owners (big time land owners, not just 1 parcel or sim) - they might worry that their "prime real estate" will go down a little in value due to the additional "physical" access to that area from further away, and those rich people might pressure LL to avoid the project. I own some land on and near the Blake though, and I support the idea 100%, so maybe larger land owners will too.

I have a trouble child of a parcel that refuses to stay rented, so I decided to make a music club out of it. I want a 24/7 stream that allows DJ's to log in for their sets without ads interrupting them. When there is no DJ, ads are fine, but I want it to be able to play 24/7 either way, reliably, and having some control over the genres of music in between DJ sets would be nice. I read a post from 2014 mentioning Shoutcast only costing L500 a month for good, reliable service. Can someone tell me if the pricing is still the same for something like that, or where to look to set up my parcel with a stream from Shoutcast? If there's a better service provider than them, I'm open to other companies as well. Thanks

I'm looking for someone to create a fitted mesh piece of clothing that I can't find anywhere on the market. I have a few examples for reference, but are not exactly what I'm looking for. I need this to be fitted for the Slink body, and I only need it to be fitted and include a shadow map. I can do the texture myself. I know it won't be a cheap price, but at the same time, I'm not looking for a professional that does custom work for a living charging $40 an hour. If you're good with making fitted mesh, this will be a relatively easy project for you. You can make some easy lindens. Let me know if this is you if you're interested. Send me an instant message in world, or a note card if you prefer, and I will describe what I want in detail, and will give you my email if you prefer to primarily communicate outside Second Life.

1800 a week (slightly negotiable) for 4512 sqm with 1548 prims available to use. Nice quiet area of the grid with full protected ocean access to all the main protected oceans including the Blake Sea and beyond. This property was rented for about 2 years before the last tenant left for personal reasons. It's a nice place to call home or start a business with unrestricted travel benefits. No restrictions on use of land. Tenant(s) will have near full land ownership abilities. Contact Trista Banx inworld with any questions. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Grelod/39/235/24

Protected oceanfront property for rent. Sail or fly anywhere on the connected continents 2240 sqm 1200 / week, 768 prims. Group provides ownership abilities. Extras options include a free parking space in the parking area just to the west, use of the pool just to the north, and a private runway for taking off and landing.... none of which will count against your prim use or cost anything extra. No ban lines near by, quiet area, neighbors to the east or west are never there. (I've never seen them in 2 years) All prims rezzed are for example. You can place what ever you want, just no ban lines is all I ask. Security orb is fine. The light blue in the picture shows the property boarders beyond the example dock.

Unlimited ocean access to fly or sail anywhere on the connected continents including the Blake Sea. Group abilities are equal to land ownership. Nice, quiet, and secluded bay area. The temporary stone wall around the parcel shows the property lines. Rental meter will be placed at your preferred location, and the dock is just there for show and to land on for viewing, but can be kept if you like it. Contact me in world with message or note card for any questions or details http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Starship/30/52/21

I'm searching for a 4096 sqm parcel to purchase on protected waters to use as a rental property. Preferably accessible to the main connected water ways and Blake Sea, but I'll look at other continents too if the protected water access is a large area.... message me in world with an IM if you're looking to sell...... I'm not going to pay 100,000 L for this, so if you're looking to get an extra RL paycheck from a small piece of virtual land, dont bother... I look forward to hearing from you otherwise :)
-
If anyone is looking, my 4096m land with direct Blake Sea access is available .... click the rental meter for detailed Info notecard.

I want to use it as a HUD, which I already made, and i can hear the sequence of sounds, they loop good, it stops when I press it, etc. .... But now I need others to hear it. Can you help please ?

I paid for 1 week on the featured items page about 24 hours ago, and I do not see it listed there, weather I'm logged in or logged out of marketplace. The product is a general rating, so everyone should be able to see it. Yes it's active, and yes it's listed as well. here is the link to the product, if it helps.... https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Banx-Designs-Destiny-Ranch-BOXED/5568659

If I am a sim owner and I want to give full control of the sim to someone as a sim manager, what do I need to do ? *The land group is in place. *This person is already in the land group.

I'm willing to consider it being the card, but being that it's one of the most highly rated and popular cards in the gaming industry, and the fact that it doesnt give me any problems like that with anything else... let me repeat..... "not anything else... no other games, no videos, no programs"...... I would be inclined to see it as a compatibility problem between SL and a high end video card. But there are others that have the same or similar kind of GPU that have no problems with SL, so I'm puzzled still I still have no solution or way to diagnose this. I'm not returning the card... it's brand new and nothing is wrong with the hardware or drivers.
-
it's not the fans. I wear head phones this is not coming from hardware at all. I wasn't specific with the "anything related" thing because "nothing else" of dozens of things I run that are relative cause the noise. Anyway TY for trying to help
