Lately I’ve been keeping an eye on Second Life’s “Popular Places” list (press CTRL + F) and the perilous ascent of Abbotts Aerodrome to dizzying new heights of popularity. Why just yesterday, I looked at the list and there it was in the number-one spot: “Abbotts Aerodrome”.
Wow! In my enthusiasm, I sent out the message to everyone in the Aerodrome group: “Congratulations! We’re now the most popular spot in Second Life!” This drew cheers and w00ts, until Apotheus pointed out that it was the most popular, not including the “mature” spots.
Um… I looked at the list again. “Include places in Mature sims” said the checkbox. I checked it, and we dropped to seventh place behind several strip clubs. We’re only the most popular “PG” spot in Second Life.
Doh!!
So what do we have to do to bring in more people? Nude skydiving? Aircraft made in suggestive shapes?
