Adult Content

The number of regions designated as Adult has been growing. They now make up more than 12% of all regions in Second Life™, according to Grid Survey. With the coming appearance of SL on Steam some anticipate more adult role players will be coming into SL.

Nikira Naimarc contacted me recently about plans for welcoming role players coming from the Steam gaming system. The idea is to provide an exhibition and conference for the large community of adult roleplayers in Second Life. It is hoped the exhibit can be used by owners of adult roleplay regions, roleplayer groups, manufacturers of RP equipment, and RP service to present their offerings.

Today I saw the announcement that the Sensual Stoneworks regions are closing. If you have never been there, this is an adult set of regions that have a large Adult Toys market place. The Stoneworks toys are not going away. They will be in the market place. But, the regions are closing.

The region is worth a visit just to see the build. The creatives at Sensual Stoneworks are talented. That talent shows in the rebuilt region. Last time I visited I think it was 4 regions. Now it has been condensed into a single region. The lag is low, at least it was when I visited. Be sure to look at the sky.

The region has provided the Mall and various role player areas. Things there range from sensual to wildly outrageous. My friend Sec and I spent hours laughing at some of the toys and how we looked playing with them.

The Adult Content User Group has pretty much evolved into a joke and is poorly attended. It supposedly meets the 3^rd Monday of the month now.

However, activity in regard to Adult Content is alive and well, pretty much growing into resident driven private groups. But, the Lab is still involved to some extent in some areas. The Adult Hub is a cooperative effort between a private group and the Lindens.

Not much excitement in the ACUG… The forum is becoming interesting. A few discussions going on there. A few topics came into the ACUG meeting.

Visitor Hub Counts

There is a grid wide problem of visitor counts not working. This is true in Adult Hub areas too. You can see this in that the Destination Guide will show zero people there and the map will show people in the region.

Destination Kiosk

An idea has been presented to have an in-world kiosk that uses a feed from the Destination Guide. The idea is considered important because Third Party Viewers may not have the Destination Guide. So, some form of in-world guide would be helpful. Presumably these kiosks could be placed in hubs.
