Second Citizen [Hot 'n' Sweaty Remix]

Sorry nothing hot and sweaty here. That title just popped into my head and I figured what the hell.

So.....................

Per this announcement over on SC Forums, I am making some changes to the place.

I am no longer going to host a Second Life exclusive site. And have withdrawn my intention to seek affiliate status with Linden Lab/Second Life.

The reason I am doing this is because I want to offer something larger and more useful to a bigger community of people. That community will include people from various other virtual worlds and MMOGs out there.

The new Second Citizen will now function as a hub for residents from various worlds to come together and be a part of a community where we all have something similar in common.

It should be a fun experiment at the very least.

I'm advertising here because I know many of you are invovled in worlds outside of Second Life (or have been). And it would be invaluable to me and others to hear your experiences and information from those worlds. Plus I'm still a fan of Second Life, and it's my site so that should count, right?

Anyway, the SC site and forums will hopefully do this: 1) Host interesting discussions from people from a variety of virtual worlds. 2) Provide resources/help via the forums to those who might be curious about virtual worlds, but who haven't joined up yet. 3) Become a community where all enthusiastic online'ers can come together and socialize with likeminded people. 4) Host hooked up rap battles where the likes of Gin and...oh wait, nevermind, forget that one.

My departure from being exclusive to Second Life in no way suggests that I don't like this place anymore. I still own land. I still log in. I still love SL. I just believe that in order to present a fair and impartial community to all MMO'ers, it's only right that I not appear exclusive to any one particular world.

So again, I extend an invitation to you to come over and register. If for no other reason than to provide a strong showing of SLers on there...and of course, to tell others why Second Life is teh shit and all other VR people need to defect from their worlds and join SL.

Sorry to bump this, but I wanted to alert my faithful members from SL and anyone else reading this post about the state of the site.

Site is still down during the transition to a new host.

I have an account and server all setup with my new host, but unfortunately my domain name is still redirecting to my old host. I've changed the nameservers on the secondcitizen.com domain to redirect to the new server, but this alteration can take upwards of 24 hours to take effect.

Hopefully it won't take that long!

And then once the domain redirects properly, it's just a matter of unpacking the database and opening the site again.

Very sorry about the temp. closure.

Feel free to reply here, guys (you know who you are), and we can have a little micro-secondcitizen thing happening in here. (you too FIC.TIONAL, feel free to join in )

Thanks.

Dude, get your ass in gear! Your site is my only posting outlet during work hours now.

Thanks for the update Alex!!

Still :fingerscrossed: for the safe transition - good luck unpacking the database X)

...and odds for seeing FIC post here using his SL id?!? lol

or are we going to see a >Gerald Wiley< moment where some well-known resident stands up and says "Sorry, it was me"?

/me waits in anticipation...

Edit: Thought i was gonna get first post and Gabe beat me to it! Damn you!! lol

Gabe, I saw that message. How crazy is that huh, banning you during work. And I'm working on it. Though it's out of my hands ATM, until the domain rights itself.

And Sable... LOL Yes... I don't think there's a chance in hell FIC will post here. But you know he's reading these posts right now and grinning. (/me waves at FIC)

As for the database, I had to submit a support ticket. I can't unpack it myself, the tech guys are going to have to do it for me. I just hate that. I'd rather be incharge of that stuff myself. Hate relying on other people. Specially when time is a concern. Owell!

:fingerscrossed: here too. I hope we have posts to come back to over there, as well as accounts, lol

Have a great one, you guys. I'm turning in for the night.

Gnight!!

/me waves to Alex, FIC, Gabe and the rest of the SecondCitizen crew

Good Afternoon!

Second Citizen is back up!
