The Docks @ Phoenix Unbound

Sunday we moved to a new location! (Phoenix Unbound 38,68,976)

Special thanks to Cheri Jinx, Elliot Mefusula, Yana Choche, Ramone Penucca, & Trouble Darcy for helping make this happen.

Many of you have asked why we've moved... let me take this post to explain not only why we moved but also let off a little steam and start to rant a bit regarding Linden Labs' new policy on adult content.

Why We Moved:

1. As you may have noticed our new parcel is ~4 times the size of our former parcel and as you can see our build size reflects that.
2. As per Linden Labs' new policy regarding adult content... we were forced to move off the mainland.
3. Low Lag! The sim where we are currently located in [Pheonix Unbound] (for one reason or another) is much less laggier than our old sim... this should allow us to host many more people before without having people walk through walls or wait 20 seconds for their chat messages to display.

With that being said... Regarding LL's ban on adult content on the mainland I have a few thoughts:

1. It seems strange that adult content will potentially be harder to access in SL than on internet in general. One can easily find pornography through Google search but in SL they have to verify their age through some inconvenient method? It seems all a bit unnecessary to me.
2. In terms of PG builds being next to Adult builds... Linden Labs claims the intent of the ban is to prevent people on the mainland coming across content that 'they'd rather not encounter'. I have two counterpoints to this: First -- most adult areas on the mainland are floating in locations that most users wouldn't casually encounter. Second -- in RL people have much greater freedom as to where and what they can build... you only has to drive down the street to find a porn shop on the same block as any reputable business. so why should SL be any different? Three:What the fuck linden labs!? Really?!

/end drunken rant for now.

P.S. Traffic is broken in many regions once again... on my count this is the third time in two weeks... /me dies.

P.P.S What truly qualifies as "adult content"? This I think is the biggest gray area regarding the move.
