Hello and ty for reading my post. I'm the co-owner of a gay hangout sim on second life. We own a homestead sim and made it open to the public so gay men can come and enjoy the scenery or the occasional party. The competition however within the gay community is fierce. There's a lot of gay sims and hangouts on the grid already. Many of them that still look the same as they did in 2007 but they're still popular and even when they are not popular they still exist. Me and my partner started wondering why these gay sims continue to exist. Even when they own multiple sims (like 5-10) they are not closing. Either the owner is really, really rich or he's paying a smaller price. Unfortunately we realized the latter is the case. There are a lot of landholders (especially within the gay community on SL) that own multiple sims and made it public. But since they bought their sims a long time ago they only paid a fraction of what we pay. There are FULL SIMS within the gay community that only cost the owner 40$ a month. For a homestead we pay almost 100$. So it is basicalyl impossible to compete with that. For the price of 1 full sim (300$) they have 7 full sims and 1 homestead and keep it open at the same cost. This unfair advantage really damages the development and evolvement of SL land ownership. Often these sims havent been touched or updated for years (hence why they look like the noob days of SL). To us this a serious problem as we'd also have loved to own 7 full sims for less than 300$ so we can continue to grow and create. So what is the story behind that? Are they VIP or just lucky? And why doesnt LL make them pay the regular price? If my RL land lord wants to up the price of rent he has the right to do so, but gives me a notice ahead of time so I can decide to stay or leave. I think LL should do the same here and announce they are gonna pay the regular price but they have 3 months to decide.

Hey everyone, please read this and let me know... This is about private region owned in SL and I want your opinions And possibly help if you feel I haven't done anything wrong or I haven't done that big of a violation to be treated like that. I work as a manager in the power couple contest and as a way to get more people and spread the word, I am promoting this contest. Many of you might have got a message from me about it. I am fairly new to SL so I don't have much friends or contacts... Similarly inworld , I look for groups that have their member list and have not mentioned I can't message them and send then ONE SINGLE message - a brief about the contest and if they are interested. Nothing after that if they don't reply. No follow up, no asking , no nagging. Like many of you must have seen. Yesterday I messaged some people from my rental and one happened to be the owner's alt. And without any warning, any intimation she banned me from the sim. I apologised to her since I thought maybe she was not okay with the idea, I explained to her that I was unaware of such a policy and even told her I have paid for 3 weeks rent with my hard earned money and please give me one last chance and consider. She never replied , nor did the support there. And MY friends who got the same rental yesterday requested to her too and they were banned as well. So I want to ask if what I did was such a huge thing that warrants a ban ? My idea of communication is word of mouth, we all have our dj and host friends who tp us or have conferences about their gigs. Do we ban them? I don't think so, or else how are people going to know about that club or about that dj or in my case .. about that contest. Please leave your opinions as comments have a nice day
