It's really not that hard to be ranked #4 on OpenSim when you plant 8 avatars in your region and just keep them there. I really think that is being very deceitful and skewing the OpenSim numbers to raise yourself in the rank. Regions that have been found to have avatars that are just put there 24/7 should have the region deleted and it should not be allowed. Not only is this grid owner stealing people's regions but now they are lying about who is actually occupying their region to raise themselves in the ranks. Awful!

Come for the freebies. Stay for the sites! Take your time exploring this beautiful sim, filled with picturesque views, large forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and beaches. Don't forget to visit Santa along the way.

JAPANESE MAPLE TREES PACK with animated leaves ** FREE and FULL PERM ** Available at BOX 02 at FOREST AREA (ground). Many options of trees sizes and seasonal textures (spring, summer, 8 kinds of autumn and 2 for winter). Also included leaf particles rezer for this time of year. Enjoy :)

SIX KINDS of sculpted wild grasses and weeds for ur place! ALL FREE and FULLPERM at GARDEN AREA BOX 01 with seasonal textures (and this time I put the standart size and also the reduced 128x128 pixels one that helps reduce graphic lag when many are rezed).

I had the pleasure of attending one of Gertie's sets. What I loved the most about her was her upbeat and exuberant personality. I wanted to create something to remember her by. This charm bracelet has a music note with her name. Free-Full Perms

A statement:

This is a world for avatars. If you put your avatar face in the profile, instead of the standard default picture, you get much more reactions and attention for your posts here in the forum. A standard profile picture does not specifically encourage you to open an account and take a closer look. If a profile is not maintained, the contributions and grid are usually the same. It takes effort, patience and perseverance to get people on his grid. Action = reaction. This is never quick! ;-)

Eine Feststellung:

Das hier ist eine Welt für Avatare. Wenn Du Dein Avatar Gesicht ins Profil gibst, an Stelle des Standardes Vorgabe Bildes, bekommst Du wesentlich mehr Reaktionen und Aufmerksamkeit für Deine Posts hier im Forum. Ein Standard Profil Bild animiert nicht speziell einen Account zu öffnen und näher anzusehen. Wenn ein Profil nicht gepflegt wird, sind meistens auch die Beiträge und Grid so. Um Leute auf sein Grid zu bringen, braucht es Anstrengung, Geduld und Ausdauer. Aktion = Reaktion. Das geht nie auf die schnelle! ;-)

since osw allows only 1 image per post, here is my final post about the Luna Lunaria charities. A very noble cause, and apparently Luna's favorite charity. Giving children a better chance at growing into healthy adults is something I am certain most of us can agree is a very noble and thoughtful, and heartwarming cause.

In a way, we all stood together, and gave what we could, as our way of showing just how much Luna inspired us. I will forever treasure her builds and my numerous wonderful memories and interactions with her, as I am certain we all will. Let this not be a goodbye, but rather, a "see you soon!" in so many ways...when we look at her builds or frequent a party or event set within one of her builds...., each time we are building or working with pbr or any of the many things that remind us of Luna, or simply looking up at the many stars in the night sky, especially in the Orion constellation. Let us be kind to one another, inspire one another, and drive one another to be creative, to inspire, to continue to make our marks of originality on OpenSim that may further differentiate us from other games and platforms! Be well, OpenSim...and keep on shining!

A few hospital visits later, some holiday chaos, some unneccessary waiting around, and everything finally clicked when i searched the ISR website and realized Luna's star coordinates has already been published publicly and any of us can find it on the International Star Registry website by searching Luna Lunaria...yes you, too! Everyone on Earth! So break out those telescopes and make a wish upon Luna's star! WE DID IT, OpenSim! Thank you for all who contributed, or wanted to, had kind words, or fond thoughts of Luna. Her rl son assured me he received the package and would be framing the copy of the paperwork for himself, as well as forwarding the pre-framed copy to Luna's rl partner. Stay tuned for additional posts with info about the additional funds left over and where they went!

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V4 - NOVEMBER 12th 2025 Updated Release! ****
**** AVAILABLE AT SOUND SECTOR ****

What's New from V3??
• Fixed the glitch when piano is touched (owner or not) and nothing is selected, music stop being played by the slave prims and play only from root prim
• OpenSIM GrandPiano V4 uses now 1 script instead of 3 from old version - so less lag to your region!It recognizes all prims called "speaker" and sound come from each of them!
• Fixed the issue when more than 1 piano rezzed in a same region! They don`t interact with each other anymore.
• Fixed the issue on NOTECARDS "ALL" and "AVE MARIA" where some of the UUIDs were not properly insert so sound was not played.

OBS1: If sound not coming from the invisible boxes (the speakers) on 1st time when rezzing the piano, stop the music and reset the script.

OBS2: Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script (up to V3) and I could share to Opensim citizens. V4 modified and simplified via DeepSeek AI

Enjoy :)

🧨 Xara Petite bei BK Mode: Die Kollektion, die sich nicht entschuldigt

Sechs Outfits, ein Ziel: den Raum übernehmen, bevor du überhaupt „Teleport“ sagen kannst. Diese Looks sind nicht für stille Ecken gedacht – sie sind für Avatare, die wissen, wie man pixelweise Präsenz zeigt.

Ob Glitzer, Jogger oder Bikini – Xara Petite spielt nicht mit Trends, sie macht ihre eigenen. Die Farben? Laut. Die Schnitte? Unverschämt gut. Die Haltung? „Ich bin da, du kannst jetzt aufhören zu scrollen.“

Hol sie dir jetzt!

Heute ist es nun endlich soweit, wir freuen uns Euch endlich unsere Gothic Modenschau präsentieren zu dürfen.
Um 19:00 Uhr werden wir mit der Modenschau beginnen. Die Sim wird aber schon ab 17 Uhr für Euch geöffnet sein.
Alle Outfit die in der Modenschau gezeigt wurden, werden gleich danach auf dem Laufsteg zum Erwerb aufgestelt.
im Anschluss beginnt gegenüber die Gothic Party.
Wir freuen uns schon riesig auf Euch Alle
Today is finally the day, and we're excited to present our Gothic fashion show to you.
We'll start the fashion show at 10am SLT. The sim will be open for you starting at 8am SLT.
All outfits shown in the fashion show will be available for purchase on the catwalk immediately afterward.
Afterwards the Gothic party starts opposite.

Was für ein Verhalten von den Betreibern von Virtual Vista Metaworld, ich habe meinem Herzen Luft ngemacht über das Verhalten der zwei und einen Comment geschrieben, innerhalb kürzester Zeit gelöscht.
Nun habe ich Antwort von Emma bekommen:
Also du bist ja der allerletzte, mit welchem recht wirst du beleidigend. Du hattest immer einen gut laufenden grid, der von unserer Entwicklerin gewartet wird. Deine üble Nachrede zeugt von deinem üblen Charackter. Schäme dich und geh uns aus dem weg. Solche leute wie du sind bei uns nicht erwünscht, und wollen wir auh nicht. Und pass blos auf das deine üble phrophezeiung nicht au dich selbst zurück fällt. Zum Glück besteht Opensim nicht aus solchen Leuten und Konsorten wie du einer bist.

Wow was für eine Betreiberin und was für eine Antwort von ihr.

Ich habe niemand beleidigt und nur Tatsachen benannt, aber damit kann man wohl nicht umgehen.

Hope you guys are enjoying my OpenSIM ONLINE Weather System V1.1.. Working on a V2- (version 2) - because I never stop lol - So ,some few news, message now given to owner shows extra info like, date and local time, also a giant sculpt cloud that shows when needed and the weather system on display that one could rez it to show to visitors. Still need some refinements and tweaks but I`m getting there.,.,,

OPENSIM Online Weather SYSTEM RECALL - FOR THOSE who came to FLORA since I have first posted about this product:

I have just fixed (final tweaks I hope) on the Lightning add-on (the Thunderbox). There are 4 boxes, invisbile, that I forgot to resize it to the mininum possible (0.0001m) so they won`t show up when the thunder sound and lightning are triggered.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Once again... one should never release a new product at 3.am lolol
