Will non-adult PG parcels be moved OUT of the adult continent?

Since adult content stores and clubs will be forced to the adult continent will LL also enforce it the other way around?

I'm assuming LL won't even install PG sims... whether you choose to make your parcel PG is your choice, I guess.

Once the place opens up for general land sales, I imagine anybody who moves there and wants to stay will simply need to display a suitably naughty picture in their front yard or some such thing. Yet another reason this whole thing is stupid.

Real answer: who knows?

I don't think it will be a choice. If you set up a pg home, store or club you can get people to go on the pretense that they are going to a pg area. Whoops now they're surrounded by adult parcels. Can't have that. PG will have to leave. Possibly even mature will have to leave too.

This is what I don't understand. Many people do "adult" things in their own residences. They (now) classify this as "mature" since it's in a home, not a business. What is the difference, really?

That said, I think that people who want to be surrounded by adult land, doing mature activities, will be safe. I even think that PG will be safe, so long as the PG parcel and its events do not show up without the mature search option on.

you mean will ll demand that parcels on the xxx sim contain xxx content?
i seriously doubt that.

I would certainly hope so. Reason I say that is that the whole purpose of the adult continent is so people browsing PG stuff on the mainland wont stumble onto it by accident. How would it not be self-defeating if they allowed PG public places in the place they exiled the naughty stuff to so they can keep it from being viewed by PG visitors? Allowing the PG areas there would just recreate the same problem that they're trying solve now, would it not? I'm sure there won't be a requirement for having extreme content, but having strict non-mature content areas does pose a bit of a problem.

there wont be a way to flag parcels 'pg' on the xxx continent. you cannot flag parcels like that full stop. they are set at the sim level and can only be changed on a private island. i assumed the op is referring to the parcel content (pg poseballs, art, etc) rather than the sim rating.
with that in mind i cannot imagine ll saying 'its not dirty enough' and kicking you back to pg or mature.

I guess I do mean content. But my thinking is that if they do allow PG content parcels on the adult continent but don't allow adult parcels on the main continents you end up having a semi-permeable barrier which would lead to the adult continent becoming much larger than it should be. Like filling two containers and having one filled with just pg items and one with both pg and adult items. And eventually you will end up with a pg continent and a pg/adult continent which defeats the whole purpose.

Why would you buy land on that continent if you weren't going to use it at some point for adult-themed content? Maybe if the land is cheaper... or maybe you won't put adult content on your land, but you want the 'atmosphere' of that type of thing on the land around you. Or maybe to block out anybody who will not/can not go to the continent (non-verifieds).

I think you answered your own question.

Obviously. I think I was trying to say that LL should know that these circumstances will occur, so why would they kick out anybody who isn't going to set up an obviously adult-themed establishment?
People who don't want to see sex/etc are going to avoid the continent anyway, so land owners should keep it in mind - and not open up some entirely innocent store or hangout in the middle of sexytown.

I'm going to AR places for not having required boobies.

If any of this is true, the continent will be abandoned within a couple months. Really, if the place doesn't strike up a balance between the naughtiest of naughties and good clean fun, people will get fapped out and move on. (=_=)

Also, that said, who's to say the speculators won't jack up the prices to L$50,000/M as it's going to be the Next Big Thing®©™ in land ownership. (=_=)

Or, even better. Whos' to say some radical right wing moralist group won't buy up ALL the land and make a giant PG theme park out if it? Or, even more subtle, get parcels in a quarter of each sim and turn them into moral rehabilitation infohubs? (>_<

Nice one,and whilst we are at it,maybe a boob rating like they have stars for hotels.

Like this................

I think this is something the Lindens are--or at least should be--worried about, but from a financial standpoint, not so much the risk of seeing undesired Adult content.

It probably would be good for the viewer to offer Adult-verified residents an option to see only non-Adult content when selected, much as we can choose whether or not we get Mature search results. (Especially if just being PIOF gets automatic access, as seems the plan.)

But the financial thing could be real. There are lots of reasons why someone without Adult content will want an Adult-only location--not least of which is a respite from teens (and their, uh, "nannies" ). And with the relatively low hurdles for residents to verify as adults in this new scheme, there will be very, very few who don't (whether they mean to or not). And that could leave a lot of empty Mainland sims, not generating enough tier revenue to keep the server fans spinning.

/me confused...i will have to leave my PG area land if i want to have fun with my partner?oO

Uhm... You do now. (O.o)

(PG) is G... No nudity, swearing, or sexuality public or private. It can all be ARed on sight. (^_^)

(Mature) Nudity, swearing, and private sex is allowed. (^_^)

(Adult) "Chicka-chicka-bow-wow!" =^-^=

So will it be a problem now if I wish to bark at the chickens on my home parcel when they cluck at me?



I don't see why it would be a problem to have parcels with PG stuff on the adult continent - but if the whole continent will be restricted to adult-verified access, I don't know why anyone would want to locate their PG parcels there. They are limiting their visitors if they do that. It seems that some people will be forced to split their multi-use parcels across continents if they want large amounts people to continue to visit their PG-based places. That's rather unfortunate, esp. in the case of the person who owns the whole mainland mixed-use sim.

...then they're going to get AR'd by me for lacking boobies.

.... I sure did. (T_T) Different story. =^-^=

In the real world, zoning that allows a Adult Business to operate does not REQUIRE all businesses in that zone to be Adult Businesses. You can just as easily open a Starbucks or a camera store there as you can open an Adult DVD store or a strip club. In fact, you often see "straight" businesses like restaurants and cofee shops right next to the "Adult XXX" ones.

I would imagine the new AO continent will be entirely "Mature" sims rated "Adult Access Only", with that rating locked and unchangable at both the sim and parcel levels. That would not prevent a land owner there from opening a children's clothing store that was a designated "Kid Safe Zone" on part of their land, while operating a photo gallery on some other part of that same parcel that includes some images that would require XXX access restrictions. Of course, they would be limiting their customer base for that kid's clothing store to people who have child avatars and who are also able to access the Adult Continent. But actually, a lot of kid avatars, possibly most of them, already meet that requirement. Many people who have kid avatars have made a point of doing adult verification, to deflect potential charges that the person playing the kid avatar might *really* be under-age.

In a more concrete example, IF I were to move the entirety of what I have in my 17K M2 of land that I have now in a private sim to the Ursula continent, only 5 relatively small areas in that parcel would be areas where kid avatrs would be unwelcome - bedrooms with sex beds, and rooms specificly designed for "Adult activities". The rest could easily be tagged as PG content. But it is ALL part of my home, and to avoid complaints about what happens in those few small Adult areas, IF I were to move to Ursula, I'd move the entire 17K M2 worth of content. The whole area would still remain tagged as Mature, Adult Verification required, even though what was ON the majority of my land was pretty tame.

I won't move there, as the Adult Continent can't offer the teraforming freedom that I have now, and I am unwilling to become a Premium member and buy Mainland anywhere at this time. But I can easily see where some people would.

I don't have an adult business on my land, and never have. The only adult-type content has always been in private residences, and 99% of the time, anyone who's there isn't using the poseballs anyway.

But I'm still thinking of relocating. Ursula will be the only place in SL where you truly have no restrictions on your imagination and creativity. That's worth something to me, and I bet it will be to others, too. I think land on Ursula will command the same sort of premium over Mature land that Mature now does over PG land.

This is a very large point. Especially considering the possibility of the eventual merging of the
teen grid and the main grid. Whether it is true or not, the Perception that the creation of the
new adult continent is to prepare the way for that eventuality, is a big factor to consider in
choosing where to buy land. Even among those who do not seek adult content, the freedom
not to have to look over one's shoulder all the time in case a teen may be lurking nearby could make the adult continent the only viable option in terms of not only a personal freedom of expression but also a sense of freedom from liability.

Having to sell and relocate is not a trivial exercise especially for those with large amounts of
time and effort invested. There could possibly be a land rush to the adult continent just for
those wishing to avoid the slightest possiblity of having to deal with other people's kids.

Under these considerations watch for the adult continent to be the new 18+ Mainland.

Lindal, I think a lot of people will feel this way. I really hope the the Lindens are hearing this (I haven't been following the thread lately) because what I have read suggests they don't imagine anyone who doesn't *have* to move choosing to do so.
