it was made aparent today, that our server The Forest, went down for the whole weekend. this was in part to what i believe was my doing, as i was making a new script for object generation.
never the less, one script had the power to kill off a main reason that i visit secondlife.
after a town meeting today on the subject, i believe sandboxing and scripting is a main facit of this application, and should not banish people to the lindin sandboxes to do their work.
i enjoy making things around others, and it gives others somthing to enjoy. it is the way of entertainment currently, baring the 'movie' function, whihc really is no longer interpersonal interaction anyway.
MY PROPOSAL:
create a module in each server called 'sandbox area'.
this module can consist of a certain player decided area, and may have perminent objects in it.
'sandbox' will follow a diffrent set of rules then the rest of the server. and since it is a small area, when it crashes it will be designed to just reset and create the perminent objects that were in it upon last backup.
it will become a 'no entry' zone when it crashes, and while it reboots.
the rest of the server can have a different set of rules, disalowing scripting or whatever and even generate a popup that says 'no blah in this area, please go here <x,y>'
this way we can have alot more control over a given server, make things small er and faster.
***most importantly, i can make stuff around my friends in an area i like to be.***
thank you for listening

if this is done to all servers, there will be no more need for multiple larger sandboxes.
only one. for newbies and projectiles.
heck.. even have multiple modules for the main sandbox, devide it up into like 12 parts, so it can crash and still be used.
