I'm going to include, in the Xtrans (my little mod) a little chair thingy that set-pos's your ass to 1000m, and even gives you a handy platform to stand on while you input your command.  I just need to get enough time in-world to make the damn thing. |

Yeah I got TranSit - a network of kiosks of set store locations (want your store in there? send me an IM) - select where you want to go - It rezzes a comfy chair to fly you there. Theres a few lil quirks here and there, but they're gettin worked out - but eh, its a free ride  Siggy.

You want money sinks, how about some that will benifit everyone? I have mentioned it before but I believe charging more for uploading huge textures. You upload a tight 128 x 128 jpg it costs $10L you upload a 1024 x 1024 600 dpi 3 meg bitmap, it will cost you $1000L.
Charge $1L for every object rezzed with a script. Might make someone pause before releasing 10,000 land scanners. Listen scripts cost $10L
You get the idea.

Oh yes, great Any scripter will have the ability to trick people into losing all their money instantly through malicious "gifts" (or proper commercial items trojaned) that rez as much and as fast as they can the moment they exist inworld. Talk about an effective L$ sink !

Just like any other transaction, you have to approve the sale. Upon denial the object is derezzed.
Its just an example of how we should look at sinks, it is likely flawed. The concept is sound though, use fees to help make everyones experience in SL better. Like charging $100L every time badger badger is played or $1000L for Banana Phone

You get the idea. Err... yes to the first perhaps, no to the last. I wouldn't mind bringing back the light tax for Light Material objects, honestly theres little reason to have 20 lights on one parcel (especialy with 1.7).
