Show us your stone

So two days since I posted this and 11 views later and not a single Social Stone pic from any of the 11 other colonies that supposedly have Social Stones.

Not every community member uses the forums, and not everyone wants to interact all the time on all media channels. Even when I host live streams, it takes a long time to go from 0 or 1 person viewing live to 5 or 6 from our community, depending on the time zone.

But even more discouraging is a lack of a Dev comment, at the very least some kudos for me taking the initiative to attempt to promote a Social Stone activity where there are none… Not very Social is it - LOL!

I’m sorry; I’ll make sure to reply to every single one of your posts from now on to ensure you feel noticed. I replied to your ideas about the stone, and chose not to reply to this post in particular to allow you to take the lead in your post and not always have game devs taking over player initiatives and letting the community interact with no input from us.

Maybe if the Devs decide to allow Colony Owners to post notices in the group chat there may eventually be some life into what is pretty much a dormant group chat: Hard to promote colony Social Activities when no one can post notices…

We won’t be allowing direct group notices. We have a group of 516 or so members, and all it takes is 1 sour apple who’s upset with a product to flood and abuse a group of players. Group chat only affects those online at the time, and a player can be removed and/or chat disabled. Notices are saved and sent to everyone upon login without the ability to remove the damaging materials which affects a large player base and customer base.

For now, you can post in the group chat to inform people of your upcoming events and even include a link to a SLURL or web page with your event details.

You can also post in the land promotions section of these forums to promote your event, and you can also post on Discord in the Land advertisements section of the community. You can post there all day, every day to get people’s input and their attention. These were made for the community for that exact purpose.

You can also post on social media. We have a Group for SL Colonies on Facebook that you can post into as well, and nothing is stopping you from creating an ‘event’ in that group if Facebook Groups allow you to do that (Redirecting...)

There are two other options we are looking into, as discussed in the topic at Social stone suggestions - #2 by TemujinCalidius, including a calendar in the Colony admin pages that could be used to interact with a bot of ours that would handle notices.

Another option would be for you to send me an IM with your requested notice in advance with dates so that I can schedule notices through our bot over a period of time to promote an event as well.
