Sure thing, I've been on SL for over 10 years and owned a business for a time. OpenSim, using the firestorm viewer is a great concept, however, the lack of any monetary incentive has left it flat. Without reward for work, I see apathy and lack of innovation in designs.
It would be amazing to create a hybrid between say, OSGrid, and Second Life. Using Steem as the instrument of exchange.
As it stands now, Second Life gives free accounts, but USD must be used to buy the currency, which are called "Lindens."
SL changed when censorship and tighter controls over land usage were imposed approximately five years ago.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have @chiefmappster.
O heck yeah that is so awesome you have that experience. I was introduced to Second Life in high school back in 2006. We made Powerpoint presentations with our avatars in Second Life and the class would attend in Second Life. Was pretty epic especially back then haha.
Ahh I did not know about the changes as I have been away from Second Life for a some time.
I completely agree especially because the tech, quickness of transactions, and amount of volume STEEM can handle it would be a natural fit.
@chiefmappster, I will be taking a small road trip in about an hour and won't be available. I have my youtube channel linked to my blog if you want to see some of the SL videos that I have created.
I am in Whaleshares on Discord now and for about the next hour. :)

Yes, roaming the halls on Discord. I had to download the quick switcher, and am wondering if I need an invitation back to the whaleshares server.
