Fox, sorry to say it but LL doesn't care, bro. We've got to make this happen. You might get a plug on the login page once in a while and Ticious has worked for that in the past but it's hard to do and it's rare.

Actually, that's been done. We had a MOD in the rotation for a while regarding live music. The person Slim talked to about it last time to make that happen was Jesse Linden. At that time (last fall), he was assigned as the primary liason for live music in SL. He's a member of this forum but I dunno if he's staying current on the threads here or not. He hasn't posted in months and as far as I know he hasn't been involved with any LL sponsored or initiated music activities, so my guess would be not.

As for promoting a Message Of the Day directing people to non-LL sponsored radio stations, I'm not sure LL's marketing department would want them to point you anywhere but SecondLife.com or Second Life itself, whether from work or no (they'd prolly love to see folk IN Second Life from their offices and yes, plenty do). Add to that the question of which resident sponsored radio station they would point to and the cries of "no fair" that would come up from any SL based radio stations that don't feature SL Live musicians and that's definitely not something they're going to want to step into.

The MOD that we had in rotation before was actually composed by Jesse and was totally generic . . . it did not even hint at one resident's interests vs. another, it simply said there's Live Music in Second Life and use in world Search to find it.

But it would be cool to have the Live Music in SL message of the day cycle around again.

Well, if word gets out from the venue owners or others about strong-arm tactics being used to get your message across, I don't know thats the type of thing that they would sanction.

My guess is that they aren't even gonna ask about tactics or reputations but that LL will just plain stay out of it period. And rightly so.
