    When did voice chat come in Second Life?

    I heard that voice chat was always in Second Life in the beginning of launch. But I heard that Linden Labs couldn't get it working back then. Is this true or not true? Would anyone know the actual date when voice chat came into Second Life?

    I can't rememeber exactly but it was a sad day for a ton of people catfishing in sl.

    Why does the Hub still have those perpetually empty and unused Motown and Cinema sims as part of the "New Resident" experience?

    I doubt very much that the average New Resident wants to spend their first few minutes or hours in SL by sitting alone in an empty cinema watching videos, or walking around a deserted ghost town that has no live Motown music being performed in it.

    This is what I'm talking about

    I think those sims are a bit overwhelming for new people. When I joined in 2004 Orientation island was a path that you followed that took you to different scripted learning stations. It was effective in the sense that it was self guided and easy. 

    I find the current set up to be too much. It's too big, people are too spread too far apart from each other and there's a lot of stuff there that makes not much sense to a newbie. I think they need to simplify simplify simplify the new user experience.

    Boardman Preservation Society, anyone?

    Someone I know created that group and owned (and possibly still owns) most of Boardman today. Boardman was the first in a few zoned land experiments that LL did as far back as 2003. It is the precursor to Belli and the Linden Homes. Even back then, some people realized at the lab  that there would be a market for this type of land ownership, but it took bandwidth to enforce the rules in Boardman and eventually LL gave up on it. 20 years later and the linden sims have proven to be incredibly popular and is probably the most common type of sl land ownership at the moment.

    I had a plot there for a few years. It was the closest you could get to a Linden Home in 2004.
