Good stuff going on.
The RobStock event is something I really like seeing happen. It takes a ton of behind the scenes work by Volunteers to bring this off. I was happy to see Metropolis join in this year, and it is being promoted very widely in the hypergated Meta and I expect hypernauts [did I just coin that? and are they really hyper? possibly...] will be a large presence in Metro over the 3 days.
The Charity https://donate.doctorswithoutb... is a very worthy cause. It should be highlighted that one can donate seperately and that also there will be a LiveStream accessed via the website http://robstockfestival.org/ for those who cannot attend inworld or cannot attend much [such as myself]. People who wish to use the livestream may wish to join up [I used the email way] so they can be ready.
There was someone who commented on content in Kitely, where a small discussion insued, here http://www.kitely.com/forums/v... which might be informative to some. As well, the Easter Egg Hunt has 32 worlds in it now [as I noticed mentioned earlier today] and though I personally do not care for hunts, the interesting tech that they are doing sounds fun. Hopefully they will have HG enabled by next year!! [my tiresome plug].
Virtual Worlds Grid continues to highlight the fact that HG and non-HG closed commercial sl clone grids need to be seperated for statistical purposes...and, frankly, it also shows that stats for such is really unnecessary to report and even mostly impossible to report. Myron did give an HG address someplace.
Personally I would like to see the around-the-15th stats report be in 2 parts. One page for the sl clones and one for the HG enabled grids. The HG enabled ones could discuss varregions and megas but more in a report fashion rather than counting numbers...but also include what stats are available for those who like such things.
The handful of sl clones could have their own page and duke it out among themselves...cool idea huh?????
And people could even look at both pages if it interests them, and make their own comparisons.
Since some of us realize the stats are full of various reporting problems anyways, so, who cares?
I know, it's not my blog and nobody listens to me, which is fine, I don't listen to me either.
The fact of the matter is that with varregions and megaregions becoming more and more used, the region count statistical reporting has little value in reality other than with those sl clone grids who remain immersed in the old business model and use it for marketing purposes. Besides, they charge to much for regions also. Zetamex and Kitely prove this, as do a growing number of others. [aside from all the unwashed uncounted masses--ok, well, they probably do wash, sometimes, anyways]
