Summer is coming - how will that influence things?

I wonder if the summer months will prompt a fall in the amount of visitors to SD or a rise? It's hard to know as every month for this, the first year of SD, is a learning process. We have nothing to base it on - no figures for traffic to plan advertising and marketing of the sim on or periodic data on trends. It does give the freedom to try lots of different things and find out what works. With that in mind, I was considering the other day how good it would be to create a role-playing sim owners group - a place to gather and discuss the development of RP sims, share knowledge and help to advance RP in Second Life. Maybe I've created myself a job ;)

Web-site rebuild

Since our launch in december the Sunnydale-SL island has been rebuilt and changed along the way. However, we haven't changed the Sunnydale-SL website since last year. In the spirit of the spring season i'll be rebuilding it. I am not satisfied with the overall design and navigation on the site, and I know for a fact that Jude really wants the the 'what's on' page to be improved too, so I'll be starting with those.

My overall goal is to make it lighter, brighter and more clean in design. Other aims are to offer more "fun" content and get a forum up and running. I am going to be taking inspiration from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics from Dark Horse rather than from the TV series. I would like to also have this influence the actual structure of the site as well as just the design. We will keep you posted on it's progress as it happens.
