After hearing some buzz about this new place in Second Life called BidSL, i went to check it out. The sim is called Bonghwang. Right now it’s a little empty and also is on the mainland.
I put up a Podmafia Podcast advertisement oppurtunity as a test and so far, the result looks a little lackluster at L$55. I’m probably going to have to get a friend to bid high on it and see if anything comes from it…if not i’ll just give them their money back.
I have speculated about this idea before in IM’s and general conversation and after hearing about the Adult Verification scheme mentioned once again at SLCC I had the theory pop into my head.
I consider Mature content to be accessible to people who are 16 years old or more. Where as content that is Adult to be 18 years old or more. Therefore PG which does stand for Parental Guidance to be all content that can be deemed appropriate to anybody under 18 as long as a parent approves of it.
How does this relate to teens coming onto the grid? Well as we all know the main grid has currently got two types of sims. Mature and PG. PG seems to be maintained as a clean area where no swearing / sex / mature and adult acts happen. But in a world that is mature in nature and requires the user to be older than 18 (although we all know that can be easily bypassed) seems to be a little farfetched to me.
Was it just me or was the last episode of Secondcast just a little boring. I mean sure covering the SLCC is great and maybe it was the fact that i am not going to SLCC that made me find the episode boring. Or is SecondCast losing it’s touch with it long delay on the episode.
I just felt like something didn’t feel right with the episode…
Since I last drew up a map of podcasting sims within Second Life there have been changes to the structure…so it is time to revisit the state of the sims. Also, the idea of unification of the podcasting sims as one total pile is bleak i believe there will be two main sectors of this. The Podshow + Pickle / Soho connection and the Podcontient (because of the size right now I dub it the Podcontinent).
Version 2.0 ^^ (click more for the original idea)
I am going to be changing things about the blog around. I will be categorising all my posts, all 173 of them. I will also try and get 5 in a week minimum but right now I am on a bit of a very busy run in my life that could probably last 1 month. Along with some skinning changes that should be about it. Also I hope to lead this into a domain name and remote hosting at the end of all this too.
Earlier today i saw a blog entry on SLBuzz from Banana Stein which seemed to cause a bit of an uproar in the community about events. So i got to thinking after reading the comments. Thats when i came up with the idea for a Podcast union. Sort of like how unions in Real Life work. This union would tackle issues within the community like griefers or event clashes and how to solve the issues to provide the best for the community. However one of the problems i have with the sims right now is that they are all spread around and i might be in one sim and blissfully unaware of what could be in another sim at the time. If i could easily fly to those sims without much worry (apart from getting your prim hair on your genitals)…
So I came up with this concept map of what I think should happen and how the sims should be located to each other based on events and styles.

Those Resident numbers just seem to keep growing and growing and now the Lindens really do need to start to act.
Personally i think the server plants in San Francisco (i think they have another location but im not too sure) need to be spread out across the world. One main factor of lag for the Europeans is the time it takes to ping a server. I usually get a ping every 100-300 milliseconds. If they could possibly make a network onto the European land and spread the load issue that would be great for all as they spread the database load but also hopefully speed up the European connections too.
