I'd rather see every other grid start offering free regions to THEIR new users, and keep ALL of them in the stats.
But, in any case, it's a moot point, because Kitely doesn't release data about how often a particular region is used or isn't used. In fact, no grid does.
A more pressing concern for me is megaregions, varregions and standard region equivalents. If you have a megaregion the size of four regular regions, most grids report it as four regions. Which is all good.
But when a grid has a varregion the size of four typical regions, they seem to report it as a single region.
That's not as good if, like me, you're trying to calculate the total land area of OpenSim grids.
So if you're a grid that's rolling out varregions, please include a "standard region equivalent" total somewhere in your stats! Thank you!
