Es reicht!! Auch wenn der Mann diesen Eintrag wieder löscht, hier bleibt er für alle. Langsam sind wir an einem Punkt angelangt, wo hier administratives Eingreifen dringend nötig wäre.

Enough is enough!! Even if the man deletes this post, it will remain here for everyone. We're slowly reaching a point where administrative intervention is urgently needed.

Lone Wolf, owner of the Wolf Territories grid, blocked me after I pointed out some technical shortcomings in his grid, deleting my comment from his post and blocking me.

This is the honest policy of some grid managers? what a nice thing, well, his response was really vague, like "my teleports are fast and you don't know what you are talking about on Opensim NGC" or stuttering something like that, but I will leave you my two comments, open your eyes, if there is no technical confrontation there is no good, growing and sharing is also part of that, he seemed like a good person. .. but he is probably afraid and not sure of what he is saying so he deletes uncomfortable comments because he is not strong in his reasons.

Here are my two comments :

I write to you with respect and would like to be honest.

I don't see anything special in this Opensim NGC, it just has preset configurations that are very easy to change, there are other Opensimulator derived projects clearly superior in quality and certainty for creators (see Kitely but that's just an example) and the goals of OS-NGC have been largely achieved by others long before and someone has done even more recently.

Also, you charge $50 (at the exchange rate) for a region, you may have an advanced control panel, but if I were to spend all that money on a grid where teleports don't work and as a creator I have no certainty that my items won't be forced even if I sell them in gloebit (I sell them once and then that's it because they are forced) I would never buy land from you.

You offer huge regions with 1.2 million unusable prims at an excessive cost passing it off as the best technologically advanced grid.

In fact if I were to buy a region and then find myself struggling in teleports, with constant problems loading the scenery around me, or it is simply slow to load the map (because it is very slow for your grid to load the map! "loading in progress..." and you have to wait a long time to visit a place if then the teleport doesn't fail!), if I decide because of these problems (and others) to leave, and I want to save the OAR to take my work with me, but where can I then place it? what grid would offer me a similar and less expensive solution? or maybe even as expensive but fuinctions well? how much of what I build will I lose?

I understand you make people stay there by you because only there they can take advantage of 1.2 million useless prims in huge regions never fully used, slow, where when you walk you feel the heaviness of the scenery (you move slow).

I registered with you intrigued and convinced I would find a technically advanced world, and then never went in again.

Don't brag too much, your grid is average, it may be big but not very functional.

With respect and honesty.

his response was something like "my teleports are among the fastest in opensim and you don't know opensim ngc" and I then said...

Always with honesty, don't feel attacked by me.

Your teleports fail every 50% of the time and the map is super slow to load targets.

Opensim NGC is easily available and its sources are visible from the repositories, and it has nothing special.

I don't think you have faster teleports than other Opensimulator grids, technically you should know how teleports work, other technically savvy users know that more than 50% of the Teleport depends on the viewer having a dedicated time to 'process the scenario before it is shown to you, typically on Firestorm this is about 3 to 5 seconds if I remember correctly, but there are other viewers that are really fast in teleporting, to this you have to add the communication speed of the grid, and yours is not, for example, faster than any domestic DreamGrid, so believe me, you may not know technically what I am talking about, but I know very well, one of the problems with your grid happen after teleporting.

Unfortunately, your large scenario generates slow loading because the viewer has to process the large amounts of terrain.

Your teleports don't always work, those in your grid know this very well (let's exclude the biased people who are with you out of sympathy or brotherhood),

also there is always that talk related to unusable regions outside your grid if I decide to leave with an OAR and this thing is a bit of a strategy to keep the user in your grid, I think all the people you have now as paying users will soon make you realize that a decent control panel does not make a difference, much better the ability to enjoy a functional grid.

Again with respect for your work and with honesty, I also tell you that I understand you, you made billions of posts where you described your best being, and no one ever responded to you, not even those with technical expertise, but in life you have to know how to deal with people.

Anyway, your grid is not bad, it is just hard to live with and very overrated.

cordial greetings.

When you are in the dark forest and you get the feeling that something dark and evil is standing right behind you...

Wenn dich im finsteren Wald das Gefühl beschleicht, dass was finsteres Böses direkt hinter dir steht..

It's been advised that every region owner protect themselves by having an OAR of their land. Wise advice, and something to be considered when renting a region, for example, on AviTron. Also advised: Have a copy of your account IAR. What does Alex have to say about this?

Quick (couple of) question to OS Community:
- Do many of you still use (and prefer) Gianni?
- Do many of you use perky versions of bodies?
Thinking in terms of effort (because there are ENDLESS bodies with add-ons now) and that's it's extremely hard to cater for everyone in terms of clothing.
Thinking about whether is worth

Will it be the beginning of the end?

What will the investigations of the federal police or the authorities responsible for oversight find?

Will Linden Lab's partners distance themselves if the platform's structural issues regarding minor avatars and sex are confirmed?

If Amazon were to revoke their server access due to such violations?

Will Second Life survive with limited funds and few users (those psychologically subservient)?

In Europe, if the matter is taken seriously (and it is a serious matter), will we still be allowed to access Second Life?

If specific regulations are applied in Europe and worldwide to control this type of metaverse (SL-Like), will it spell the end for many Opensimulator grids?

But above all, will Opensimulator suffer?

https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15229-officia...

For many years, OSGrid has been held together by a community of people who show remarkable dedication. They build, create, donate, volunteer, and continue returning even after setbacks that would have driven most communities away. That level of loyalty is rare, and it speaks to the heart of what OSGrid has always represented: a place built by its users, for its users.

But with every major outage, that same loyal community pays the highest price. People lose assets, regions, inventories, and countless hours of work. They rebuild from scratch, not because they have to, but because they believe in the grid and the people behind it. Each time, they hope the stability will improve. Each time, they trust that the next chapter will be better than the last.

And yet, here we are again.

No one denies that OSGrid operates on a scale larger than most OpenSim environments. No one dismisses the complexity or the volunteer effort behind the scenes. But dedication is a two‑way street. When a community repeatedly invests their time, creativity, and emotional energy into a grid, it becomes increasingly difficult to ask them to simply “be patient” after losing everything again.

The truth is simple:
People are not frustrated because they don’t care — they are frustrated because they care deeply.

They want OSGrid to succeed.
They want stability worthy of the loyalty they’ve shown.
They want to feel that their work, their creations, and their memories are safe.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about acknowledging the emotional and practical impact on the very people who keep OSGrid alive. Respecting the community means recognizing that repeated asset loss is more than a technical inconvenience — it’s a breaking point for many.

The community has proven their commitment time and time again.
It’s fair to hope that the grid’s infrastructure will one day show the same level of commitment back.

I have seen a post or two lately on a topic that I feel i need to write about. There is a lot of Misinformation going around online and in world. I have been contemplating writing this for a few months until i saw a post that drew the line.

I mean no disrespect by my post, its only to educate others. please be respectful when commenting. Also my post is not to enforce a certain lifestyle or kink onto anyone. Its solely for education purposes only.

The majority online and in world seems to think that either a child avatar or a child avatar having sex with an adult is Ageplay. This is not Ageplay!

Ageplay is where an adult portrays a younger age and wears clothes that makes them partially look the part but yet still have the appearance of an adult. Also Ageplay can be between 2 consenting adults, one looking like a full adult and the other wearing childish clothes but still has appearance of an adult.

If you see a child avatar and an adult having sex, that is not in no way anything to do with Ageplay nor is it sexual Ageplay! that is pedo crap which is not tolerated in my grid! Please stop associating it with Ageplay.

if you see a child avatar looking like a real life child, that is also not Ageplay! please dont listen to the wrong information child avatar have passed to everyone online in world.

I have been in the community and an ABDL mom for 11 years and it really frustrates me that people believe a child avatar is Ageplay. please stop listening to them. they are not an Ageplayer by no means.

Please do your research before assuming and thinking what you were told is correct information. I know there are soem child avatars going around saying so what I do Ageplay. that is not Ageplay.

below is a link to a wiki article for those that want to learn more and get a little educated abotu what Ageplay actually is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageplay

I want to preface this with the following disclaimer:
I am not trying to shame anyone, nor am I trying to start a riot. I simply want to share this information with the community so that folks can make an informed decision as opposed to, "Well, I read I could do this, so I did it."

God Mode has helped many of us out, especially when it comes to adjusting, retexturing, or outright fixing a mistake. When an avatar leaves a grid or can't be reached to fix permissions on an item they've acquired from a reseller, God Mode makes the impossible, possible. After scripting a full fledged system and then "selling" my parcel with items without setting scripts to full perm, God Mode fixed it. When I accidentally deleted my original 3D model and didn't have the full perm version in my inventory, God Mode came to the rescue. In short: There are times when God Mode is useful and the use of it is justified. Though along the same vein, there are times when God Mode should not be your first choice.

The reason I bring all of this up is that it came to my attention today that an item I spent many hours over the course of many days scripting, adjusting and creating custom textures for, even watching a YouTube tutorial on how to make edits to the mesh in Blender for, and eventually sharing with no-mod script permissions and copy/mod object permissions, was made full perm through the use of God Mode. To add insult to injury, the script was then offered for sale on the Marketplace, where I had intended to sell a good portion of the script myself, sans the model and textures. To be clear, the mesh was not created by me, nor were the original textures, though the textures I included were my own modifications/creations. I take no issue at all with the fact that someone wanted a full perm copy of the mesh, nor do I particularly care about the textures. What I take issue with is the scripting that is now full perm, open source, able to be hacked apart and broken off for use in different ways, and (most infuriatingly) being sold from someone who apparently had no idea how to script to begin with.

As a scripter, and an active store owner in SL, one of the things I love about scripting is that I am secure in knowing that sending out something no-mod means exactly that. Objects, textures, sounds, animations - these could always be accessed or downloaded in some way, form, or fashion. Scripts, on the other hand, were the Fort Knox of creations that could be shared securely. In OpenSim, things function differently; this I find both refreshing and maddening all at once. I spend the majority of my time working on scripting projects and ignoring the builds on my SIMs, partly because I find it engaging and partly because it's something I can give back to the community.

I realize that it sounds very hypocritical to complain that my scripts were made full perm when I essentially did the same thing with the mesh model. I get it. I hear you. I agree with you. To that point: Unlike the case of the mesh model, which the original creator of is not willing to bring over to OpenSim (and yes, I did inquire), my scripts are being created here and shared with the community for free. I offer my scripting ability to the community because I realize that there's a lot of functionality that is readily accessible in SL that can't simply be Marketplaced for cheap, or in most cases for free, for OpenSim. I revel at the idea that something I've made is being shared and appreciated by those who have come across them and/or shared them. My only (simple) ask is that you respect the permissions of the scripts that I provide for use in OpenSim.

I tend to think of myself as a friendly, giving person and I strive to be helpful whenever I can. I'm readily accessible, both in and out of world, and am more than happy to provide you with full perms with nearly anything I create - you just have to take the time to reach out to me and allow me the time to provide you with it. In previous cases, I have never denied someone who has requested a full perm item, nor did it take me longer than 48 hours to respond to the request. Depending on the request, I may not be inclined to provide full perms for a script, but I am more than happy to adjust/change the functionality to suit your needs. This may be because I plan on selling all or part of the script on Marketplace, or because the script was made for a particular use/case, or because someone requested it and asked that I not share it, or simply because it's a script someone paid for and needed adjustments to but didn't know how.

With that said, from now on, I will be including a script/snippet in all of my scripting projects that I release. This will check the creator and permissions of any scripts that are included in the item; should it find that the permissions or creator have changed on the script(s), it will delete the scripts and you will be banned from accessing my regions. I really do hate doing this, but I feel it's necessary to ensure my kindness and time devoted aren't being taken advantage of. So, to reiterate: If you want something of mine full perm, please reach out to me here or in-world instead of using God Mode and alienating yourself from me, my SIMs, and my current/future shares.

TL/DR: God Mode can be your friend, or it can add you to my ban list.

[ Edited To Add ]
I appreciate those of you who came into the comments section with curiosity, concerns, encouragement, and constructive criticism. Quite a few of you have directly messaged me regarding this and I greatly appreciate the thoughts you've all had, ideas offered, as well as the thought provoking insights. At this time, I feel the conversation is getting off topic and becoming less productive and more of an entertainment source, so I feel it's best to leave this one for the archives and lock comments.

Voice in Opensim is a vexed question, and whilst most of us don't use it for a whole host of reasons it is a very useful thing to have. But, so long as there has been a 'free' alternative, most have been happy to use Vivox. For most people Vivox is probably fine, but for some there is one very big downside to using this service: it eavesdrops.

Some years ago I was working on an Opensim based solution for remote meetings, a place where we could virtually meet. Probably the most important criteria was security and privacy, so obviously Vivox, with its policy of eavesdropping was a non-starter. I had become aware of the Whisper project, but that only worked with Opensim up to 0.7.6, and whilst the module was then still available, it isn't now. Also, the Whisper project itself was abandonware. In 2014, Zetamex announced a bounty for anyone finishing the work on the Mumble-Whisper voice module, and started a crowdfunder, which predictably, this being Opensim, raised the derisory sum of $62 from four backers... https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2014/01/zetamex-announce...

Even at the time, it didn't look as if the bounty would be claimed, as Vivox was still a viable option, so of course that's what people went for rather than for an independent voice solution for Opensim. I did try to contact the person behind the project at the time, as I would have liked to have supported the project, but they did not get back to me. The project I was working on didn't progress, but more because of the high entry threshold of Opensim/Second Life. I still have the OARs I made for the project however.

The EchoVoice project announced in late 2021 offered some promise even though the project was looking for $60k in initial funding. A cynic might think that raising a sum like that in Opensim is just pie in the sky, and so it proved. Thus far the project has raised $775 of the needed $60,000. Hypergrid Business described the project as suffering from 'delayed funding'. https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2022/12/vivox-voice-repl...

And now that Vivox seem to be about to follow through on their decision to close off access to Vivox for most users of Opensim there is now a clamouring. The writing has been on the wall for a very long time, and there have been alternative voice projects launched from within the Opensim community that have been ignored.

At the end of the day we need to take responsibility for our own project. The Opensim project needs lots of things. Opensim needs its own viewer project with all the SL only gunk removing, and arguably a more formally organised Opensim fork project is needed to properly progress the project. But I doubt that any of this will happen because no one will cough up any cash. I know there are some users of Opensim who are extremely cash-strapped, but I reckon that most could afford the odd pound/dollar every once in a while to support projects in Opensim. Even in my most financially straightened times I could always find the odd couple of quid for causes that are important to me. Now that I'm somewhat more financially secure, I can afford to indulge more, but like most, I understandably want to be sure that any project I contribute cash to has a better than evens chance of reaching its goal.

There is only one way we will get the things we want in Opensim, such as a voice module, and that is through paying for them!

EDIT

Some people commenting have adopted an intemperate and abusive tone when making comments. I've deleted a few, (and blocked one persistent offender). Some people have also posted irrelevant comments, which have also been deleted. Please keep comments civil, respectful and on topic.

I am reading comments on paid content and various markets in OpenSimulator. I would like to share my thoughts and ask you to correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the topic.

In my opinion, Kitely has the best system both as a market and a control system. After working with it for a while, they have managed to achieve a significant result. Creators can set content that they don't want to be forced into permissions as non-exportable to other OpenSim grids, thus protecting it from the infamous GOD mode that users across all grids now have. On the other hand, those who want to make their content exportable risk selling fewer copies since it may be forced and potentially distributed everywhere.

I find it very challenging for original OpenSim creators to sell products and come close to the earnings of Second Life. For instance, even if I sell a product as no-transfer, if it ends up in the grid of a user with GOD powers, it will certainly be unlocked. Unlocking content has become an instinctive practice for many users.

It's a different story for those who create original products and release them for free. Even if unlocked, they will not suffer excessive damage (I hope), and people will be more inclined to respect permissions (I hope) and invite others to get their copy directly from the original creator without forcing and redistributing it as a favor for various friends on other grids (doing it discreetly), which can happen with paid products.

I honestly don't believe this problem will be resolved as long as GOD mode is accessible to everyone. Some grids have denied GOD mode to enforce respect for original creators' content, but these are not popular among users who can get everything they want with GOD mode. They prefer, at the same cost, to obtain regions even in poorly performing grids that allow them to do anything.

Another problem is the backup copies of regions. There have been grids that did not allow the default backup of objects without sufficient permissions, but these grids had no luck or popularity. Meanwhile, those who do not apply such restrictions obviously have more success. Even reloading the OAR on a new grid, the original creator could be permanently lost, creating confusion about who the original creator of the product is and whether the object has been purchased or not.

Therefore, honestly, I think selling on more or less renowned grids is limited to one, two, or ten sales, the time it takes for the product to be unlocked, given away, or loaded into other grids via OAR. All of this, except for Kitely, which has an exceptional system for controlling the "products" leaving its platform, a system that they don't publicly share from what I understand.

Breaking news because OSgrid officials never post here:

OSgrid is going to charge for attached regions if you've got more than one.

* One region is always free (unless you don't have one that's a 2x2 at most).
* Each region beyond that one is $1/month.
* What counts is how many regions you're running at the same time. So if you've got five regions, but you never have more than two online at a time, only these two count.
* The billing for region hosters will be different, the price will be the same.

EDIT for those who don't read the comments:

A var counts as 1 region. Even a 16x16 var counts as 1 region. It won't cost $255/month, but only $1/month.

If it's your "first" region (whichever one you declare your "first" region), it's only free if it's a single region or a 2x2 var. So if you have at least one single region or 2x2 var, but you also have bigger vars, declare one of your single regions or 2x2 vars your "first" region.

Sadly... It seems there's a loss of interest among the general population for all things metaverse... People are moving on to other games, or not playing games at all any more, and taking on additional real life work to offset the crazy inflation happening around the world... I've noticed huge down turns in the numbers of people getting into virtual worlds lately. Can't say I blame 'em... All the name calling, in fighting, back biting, hate spewing, trolling, and worse going around.
But it is what it is... What is it? You ask... Well, it's such a huge reduction in numbers that only a small percentage of "hard-core" virtual lifers remain... It's sad... It's unfortunate... We have seen many grids recently shutting their doors and I fear we will see many more admins clicking the red power off button in the future. Anyway to all those leaving, I bid you safe travels, and a happy life. Remember us few lone die-hard souls forever permafrosted into the fabric of the metaverse...

I support Gay Rights, not Gay Wrongs. There is right and there is wrong, let me learn you the difference! Ask me for a free gay pride flag! (not for children, minors, miners, underage, or rugrats! Must be 18+ to come to my grid! No kids allowed!)

The recent "knicker twist" (a *very* ugly and overly dismissive way to blow off what I read as being well-thought out and reasonable points raised by Marianna) does bring up a couple of questions:

Are there amateur builders left in Opensim?
It would be useful to define "amateur" -what do we mean by that term? Myself, I mean "self-taught", someone who has not been to art school or taken formal (not counting Builder's Brewery etc) courses on building. Other people may have different definitions -let's hear them.

It would also be useful to define "builder". When I say 'builder' I mean someone who makes creations with prims or mesh (Blender). (I'm excluding scripting, that's programming.) I'm aware that others define it in such a way as to refer to making modifications on pre-fab/pre-made mesh. Basically a "modder". In my mind it's a valid thing but it's different than building.

But language shifts and definitions change, "hacker" used to mean "someone who comes up with clever approaches to computer problems or design" -but for roughly 30 years it's been used to refer to people who break into computer systems and/or write viruses. As I say -definitions change.

So how do we define "builder" now? What constitutes "building"?

I can only think of a small handful of builders in the sense of making something from nothing, there's a larger pool of people who modify pre-made content -and unless I'm mistaken Marianna and Luna Luneria do a mix of both. Again, one isn't better than the other and both are forms of creative expression. But they are different.

The point of all this is to assess *need.* Do we need an organization? By "we" I am referring to "amateurs", I'm not referring to AuroraAsteria's group.

Moreover with the extremely low user numbers of Opensim would there be a point to creating an organization (beyond a collection of friends -I mean, if you already know each other knock yourselves out)?

I suspect -and have for years, that any such group would wither on the vine from lack of interest. Otherwise I'd be trying to start something myself.

I reserve the right to delete obnoxious comments and lock the comments entirely if it looks like they're going to simply be a shit-show. Show me that you *can* adult, OSW. Don't post insults (I'll delete them), paranoid rants (I'll delete them), off-topic diatribes about how somebody done somebody wrong songs (again -will delete). If there's a question about what the topic is intended to be -ask.

Make this a pain in my ass and I'll delete everything and lock the comments.

How can we support this kind of thing today in Opensimulator, I also have in my possession photos of the so-called school, where child and pedophile avatars are grouped, for my part I am going to ban the grid littlebigcity.outworldz.net:8002 from my network and you?

We are in shock this morning as our wonderful Luna Lunaria, for whom Wolf had become her home, has passed. We will not be taking her regions down unless instructed to do so. They are some of the most incredible, beautiful regions in OpenSim. We'll just leave them where they are and we'll be placing a memorial at our Memorial region today. Please get in touch with Lone Wolf at our grid or lone@wolfterritoriesgrid.org if we can be of any assistance.

Lone will be at the welcome area as usual today.


Wolf is in Mourning

Pending asset deletion of inventories:

We are really getting agitated with the asset losses , nearly everyday Osgrid goes offline and when its back online , more is lost At least 50% of all we try and transfer to another grid arrives here either broken mesh or asset loss. Boxes we have packed and left rezzed on our single sim also loose assets now.
Our avies have lost their bodies ,heads etc and our inventories are totally corrupted , what is the point in giving us time till 25th March to save what we need ? there is nothing left to save.
Even saved IARs that have been created will be completely incorrect under the circumstances.
This is not only annoying Osgrid Residents,but also is giving a bad impression of the grid in whole.. People will loose confidence in Osgrid management and will move to other grids as a result, which is probably not in the interest of OS grid management.
You should flip the switch and get it over with as quickly as possible.



Wir ärgern uns wirklich über die Assetverluste, fast jeden Tag geht Osgrid offline, und wenn es wieder online kommt, geht noch mehr verloren. Mindestens 50 % von allem, was wir versuchen, in ein anderes Grid zu übertragen, kommt dort entweder aufgrund eines Meshfehlers (broken mesh) oder eines Assetverlustes an. Die Boxen, die wir gepackt und auf unserer einzelnen Sim gerezzt haben, verlieren jetzt auch ihre Assets.
Unsere Avatare haben ihre Körper, Köpfe usw. verloren und unsere Inventare sind völlig zerstört. Welchen Sinn hat es, uns bis zum 25. März Zeit zu geben, um das zu retten, was wir brauchen? Es gibt nichts mehr zu retten.
Auch angefertigt gespeicherte IAR´s werden unter den gegebenen Umständen vollständig fehlerhaft sein.
Dies verärgert nicht nur die Osgrid-Bewohner, sondern hinterlässt auch einen schlechten Eindruck vom Grid insgesamt. Die Menschen werden das Vertrauen in die Osgrid-Verwaltung verlieren und infolgedessen zu anderen Netzen wechseln, was wohl nicht im Interesse des OS – Grid Managment ist.
Man sollte den Schalter umlegen und es schnellst möglichst hinter sich bringen.

TO THE MEMBERS OF SACRARIUM GRID

Your grid and users are not welcome here anymore. Your users have been harassing and messaging racist slurs at opensimworld users for years. You have harassed me personally and my family *in real life*. You keep doing it despite warnings and temporary bans

From now on you are permanently banned from listing and advertising anything from your grid in Opensimworld. Your regions are inactive anyway, they will be removed.

Your abusive accounts will be frozen. Do not attempt to create new ones , they will be removed.

Please advertise your grid etc on: Facebook, Twitter, Mewe, Discord, wherever, anywhere but NOT HERE . Enough is enough, you are not welcome here.

HI all

My grid had been getting attacked from griefer throwing all items all over the regions even on "no build allowed" regions and can you please ban this fucking person. It not even funny. Why on earth this person want to attack grid for??

Please do not take items from the SimGear store or the store with opensim collars/scripts and place them in your own store. I already see these items in another store.

There are only a few people authorized to distribute SimGear products and spax has requestion that others dont just take the items to place in there own store. It is also in a notecard in all the boxes.

Opensim collars will have at least one more update, but to limit outdated collars across opensim, please do not just take the items to put in your own store. Even tho i didn't make the scripts or collars, I have permission from the creator to distribute the items and do the work to update them when an update rolls out. I did take time and effort to provide all of this for everyone to enjoy.

All this talk about my work as being poor quality crap gave me inspiration! It is true many creations are just that Poor Quality Crap! Who needs it? YOU Do! so we formed a new group where you can find all sorts of Free Crap https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078 Our first giveaway @JamieAnna Wright kindly offers to you! Be prepared and don't forget the poop scoop!

Mir war es schon klar, dass die Nikolaus oder irgendwelche Veranstaltung Tommy White und Paristela auf Icelady Grid stattfinden wird.
Auf meinen letzten Kommentar zum Post des Woody, darin zitatlich:
( „ein Auge betreffend Tommy White und Paristela auf die stattgefundenen Tatsachen die Anwendung einer Vielzahl von Fake Avataren zu werfen, dies zu kommenden Abläufen bei deren nächsten Veranstaltungen“ )
Meine zutreffende Einschätzung das die nun kommenden Veranstaltungen nicht mehr auf neutralen Grids stattfinden werden, wie dies immer üblich war, sondern auf nicht neutralem Grid,zu 70 Prozent auf Icelady Grid und zu 30 Prozent auf Offworld Grid.

Ich nutze hier die Gelegenheit und fasse zunächst mal einiges zusammen; Zur Vornahme einer Einsetzung von Traffic Fake Avataren zur Schaffung einer Beliebtheit und Ansehen, wie der Plan zum Einsatz gefasst und umgesetzt wurde.

Die erste Veranstaltung Tommy White und Paristela war bei der Nabila Grid öffentlichen Clublocation , dort waren insgesamt 23 Anwesende incl. der beiden.

Die zweite Veranstaltung Tommy White und Paristela war die des 3-world Grid dort waren insgesamt 35 Anwesende incl. der beiden.
Diese beide Veranstaltungen waren echt – also reale Anwesende.

Die dritte Veranstaltung Tommy White und Paristela war 2 Tage später nach der 3-world Grid Party, diese war deren Oktoberfest in der Nabila Grid öffentlichen Clublocation, dies war Freitags und war das erste Oktoberfest was in gesamt Opensim abgehalten wurde. Bei diesem Event waren insgesamt 11 Anwesende incl. der beiden.
Genau ab diesem Zeitpunkt als bewusst wurde das das geplante Generieren von zu den eigenen Events folgenden Gästen (Followern) nicht gefruchtet hatte wurde der Plan gefasst Steuerungsweise eine Vielzahl von Fake Traffic Avatare einzusetzen, diese wohl von Mini – Eigengrids im Mittel zum Zweck erstellt und die Daten zu Avataren und Grid selbst definiert.

Was sodann folgte ist laut den sachlichen Grundlagen, ab diesem Zeitpunkt wurden im Grid Hopping nur auf etlichen diversen anderen Grids Partys in Zeiten mit Anfang der Events zwischen 21:30 Uhr und 22:00 Uhr unter Hinzuziehung dieser Fake Traffic Avis veranstaltet, damit auch versucht diese erstellten Avatare zu waschen, wie man es bei einer Geldwäsche kennt, ein perfider Plan. Damit wurden noch hinzu die Betreiber dieser Grids für einen Geltungsdrang mit unlauteren Mitteln zum Zweck masslos ausgenutzt, dies wohl bis dahin das das Ziel erreicht wäre durch ein künstliches Ranking in den Vordergrund zu kommen, Ansehen und eigenen Zulauf zu erlangen. Dies dienlich dazu ein Eigenes, sodann gemeinsamen Grid zu eröffnen, dies um einen Zulauf von Nutzern durch Abwerbung aus anderen Grids als Mitglieder gewinnend herbeizuführen. Zwischenzeitlich dieser diversen Hopping Gridpartys wurde auch der eigene Club auf Nabila World hochgefahren, der dauerhaft ohne einer Veranstaltung online war.

Der guten Ordnung halber sollte man diesen für eine bestimmte Zeit die Computer und Internetzugänge sperren.

English:
It was already clear to me that the St. Nicholas Day event, or some other event with Tommy White and Paristela, would take place on the Icelady Grid.

Regarding my last comment on Woody's post, which quoted:
("keeping an eye on the facts concerning Tommy White and Paristela regarding the use of numerous fake avatars, this will affect future events")
My accurate assessment is that the upcoming events will no longer take place on neutral grids, as was always the case, but on non-neutral grids, 70 percent on the Icelady Grid and 30 percent on the Offworld Grid.

I'll take this opportunity to summarize a few things: the use of fake avatars to create popularity and prestige, and how the plan was conceived and implemented.
The first Tommy White and Paristela event took place at the Nabila Grid public club location, with a total of 23 people, including the two of them.

The second Tommy White and Paristela event was hosted by 3-world Grid, with a total of 35 people, including the two of them.

Both of these events were real – meaning actual people were present.
The third event, hosted by Tommy White and Paristela, took place two days after the 3-world Grid Party. This was their Oktoberfest celebration at the Nabila Grid public club location. It was a Friday and the first Oktoberfest ever held in the entire OpenSim community. A total of 11 people attended, including the two of them.

It was precisely at this point, when it became clear that the planned generation of people (followers) for their own events hadn't been successful, that a plan was hatched to use a large number of fake traffic avatars. These avatars were likely created by mini-owner-grids as a means to an end, and the avatar and grid data were defined by the users themselves.
According to the facts, what followed was this: from that point on, grid hopping parties were held on numerous other grids between the starting time 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM, using fake traffic avatars. This was done to launder the created avatars, a perfidious scheme similar to money laundering. Furthermore, the operators of these grids were exploited for their own gain, using unfair means. The goal was to artificially rank the operators to gain prestige and attract new members. This served as a pretext to open their own, shared grid and recruit users from other grids. Meanwhile, during these various grid hopping parties, the operators also launched their own club on Nabila World, which remained online continuously without any events.

For the sake of good order, their computer and internet access should be blocked for a certain period of time.

So, someone hacked into the Resurgence server and completely wiped it. Resurgence is gone. To the lowlife who did this, hope you’re happy with yourself. This wasn’t just an attack on me and Mike, it was an attack on a whole community of people and seriously, I don’t think anyone deserves this. Everything is gone. All our backups, OARs, IARs… Knew what you were doing didn’t you.

I’m not sure where to from here, I’m not sure if we will start over, I’m too angry and upset now to make any clear decisions. For now, it’s goodbye from me and Mike… lowlife, you won, congrats.

Asking for money is not the solution.

In the past, as Copper mentioned, Opensimulator users have already been "cheated." So why go further and ask them for money when many grid owners might need funds to keep their grid running as a hobby and source of entertainment, where they don't earn much money?

The individuals who design Opensimulator, to whom we owe our deepest gratitude, and those who work on derivatives, those who offer "ALL-IN-ONE" solutions like Fred with Dream and Kubwa with their product, do not receive money to feed their families. Even there, there are hours and hours of work, programming, bug fixing; it's not just a simple pastime. Programming to offer a free product is a highly demanding passion.

There's no need to fund the EchoVoice project and continually ask for money. It would be more appropriate to try to find a programmer and contributors to work on an active project, making it compatible with Opensimulator, perhaps developing it in parallel. That would be fantastic, or a team of volunteers who start from scratch by studying the protocols.

Why do I have this idea? Simply because every grid owner could load voice software onto their server in this way, having an independent and parallel voice in Opensimulator.

Why am I against funding EchoVoice? Simply because it would fund a company that employs a programmer and centralizes the voice server, limiting users' freedom of use. I don't believe this is the right path.

Furthermore, the campaign opened by someone insists on saying that open source and projects created by volunteers don't pay rent and don't provide food. I respond again by inviting all of you to think about Ubit, who manages Opensimulator and the contributors to the project, about Fred with Dream Grid that many of you use, and about Kubwa. But this is just one example in the opensim world. There are authors of many viewers who do it out of passion without earning anything. But to go further, it's not true that Red Hat Linux is paid for; all GNU/Linux distributions are free, services are paid for. So, this person who claims that even Linux is paid for is trying to make you believe something that is absolutely not true. Paying for advanced support service or some defined pro features in Linux is equivalent to having something exclusive that that company offers. But even there, you pay about $99 a year to have a SERVICE.

With EchoVoice, you end up funding a company that will need to ask for funding every time until it can generate its own money to pay a programmer for a simple update. Is it based on Opensimulator? If Ubit were to ask for $1 a month for everyone using his (and the contributors') hard work, he would be very wealthy. The same goes for Dream Grid, and this is where the difference lies: the passion with which you program without asking for money, because perhaps through donations you can still achieve a sum.

These individuals, as well as others behind free projects that don't ask for money, started programming and working without asking for anything; that's how trust is gained.

And anyhow, centralizing the EchoVoice service would be wrong.

Think it over carefully.

I like to drop a post every now and then on another virtual universe I'm involved in developing, with a working name of Starlite Galaxies. It's a user-content generated world like SL and Opensim, but not based on their code. A complete new game engine has been written from the ground up in proprietary codebase using C++, utilizing the Vulkan API instead of OpenGL. The universe will not be compatible with opensim code, but we are discussing a bridge option down the road to allow opensim users to visit. The game is currently approaching alpha testing for which all slots are filled.

The top shot is a helmet readily available on 3D model sites that we use to test our handling of PBR materials and shaders. This one is reflecting the environment we dropped it in and running at 4910 fps on full blast graphics using a GeForce 3060 card (I believe this is the same helmet visible in the recent SL tutorial on their version of PBR)

The bottom image is an asteroid field with 50,000 physical objects all orbiting a central mass independently of one another. We wanted to find a breaking point, but only got the fps down to 720 fps.

We also are testing on a variety of lower end machines to find baselines for the graphics and physics. But if you want to go full-bore gaming using VR, controllers, joysticks, flight-sim equipment, etc., then all of that capability is already there and working. Probably would only want to use VR with your feet on the ground. We found flying ships in VR was...unsettling.

Due to recent events...

Not good news... Yesterday's CT scan revealed a large number of new tumors in Anachron's stomach. The chemotherapy has been stopped, and the doctors are considering their next steps. They're quite surprised by the findings that he can still eat at all...
I just found out and am still in shock... What they only told Anachron today, even though it's been known for some time, is that the cancer has spread, including to his adrenal gland, so surgery isn't an option. The chemotherapy so far has prevented further spread, but not the tumor's growth. They're having another consultation and want to see if they can try a different drug, but they can't yet assess its side effects.

On a positive note, the doctors are quite surprised that Anachron's vital signs are so good and that he's feeling relatively well despite the diagnosis.

SOLVED: Do a search of the main drive with Windows explorer and delete

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted this to see if anyone can tell me why I'm repeatedly getting this alert since I visited the region, even when I never requested that this grid be added to my grid manager. I was getting an alert from my anti-virus software about an attempt to contact this domain. Those alerts stopped after I added the domain to my block list. However, even after clearing the viewer cache, I get this alert from Firestorm every time I log in or visit another region.

What I've found out so far. "This is a classic case of a viewer (Firestorm) holding onto a "ghost" entry in its internal routing history or cache, even after you've blocked the domain at the network level (Norton). Norton stopping the connection is good security, but it doesn't tell Firestorm to forget the grid entirely. Firestorm is likely trying to "ping" or validate a destination it thinks you want to visit or has visited recently."

It's been suggested that the entry is likely now hard-coded in the operating system Firestorm config file. I'm looking into that, even when I have to wonder how in the heck that happened.

BTW, all I did at the region is use the TP board...

Safinemaohe2, the owner of Friends Grid, who should therefore be friendly and understanding to everyone and be open to all as she says, deleted a completely simple comment of mine, where I was responding to her sugary post claiming that Josh Boam dedicated himself to her and her grid, setting aside all his other commitments.

So in my comment, I simply pointed out that it would be interesting to understand the nature of the problem with her grid, because SHE pays a service directly to Josh Boam and therefore, BY PAYING, she is entitled to assistance. No one responded to the problem, not even her; instead, a series of useless aggressive comments started, and then Safine deleted my comment because it was probably uncomfortable for the usual advertising and devotion she has always shown towards Boam without any REAL reason, but only because he does his job (which, by the way, isn't even done well since he had to ask for help from Lone Wolf, the only one who truly helped in that situation without charging a dollar! and therefore deserving of thanks).

In my comment, I pointed out that Boam just did his job and that she, of whom I now doubt even pays considering the publicity she gives him for a grid that is absolutely average and also poorly functional, I would say, and not innovative at all with also high costs.

Dear Safinemaohe, by deleting my comment, you have shown your real position of absolute servility towards Boam and anything but a friendly condition of openness towards others, drop the mask because if you can't handle a realistic comment where there are no sycophants, you'd better stay silent, it would make you look better.

Furthermore, in your post, it seems that the Opensimulator community does not help each other, when instead FROM NICO TO PAGANE EVEN TO MISTRESSDELGADO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS HELPED EACH OTHER BETWEEN GRIDS TO TRY TO SOLVE ANOTHER'S PROBLEM, SO YOUR POST, BESIDES BEING USELESS AS AN ACT OF BOOTLICKING AND ALSO SILLY BECAUSE YOU PAY FOR SUCH A SERVICE, IS ALSO OFFENSIVE TOWARDS THOSE WHO STRIVE TO HELP OTHERS.

Have a good day! (you can now unleash in the comments!)

Ich poste hier für die Smaili Me, weil Sie nie an die Coins gedacht hat.

Das tut mit leid für den Anachron. Ich wünsche ihm das er es mit seiner Stärke schafft es zu überstehen. Was ich hier nicht gut finde von dir Dorena, dass du hier öffentlich eine sehr persönliche Sache, die schwere Krankheit von Anachron hier öffentlich und detailliert breittretend veröffentlichst, weil dies ist etwas sehr persönliches was nur den Partner und die Familie betrifft. Was du Dorena hier tust ist würdelos gegenüber Anachron, was dir bewusst sein sollte. Nicht einmal im real verbreitet jemand die Krankheit eines Familienmitgliedes an Freunde oder weite Verwandte. Die macht nur jemand wenn er nicht damit klar kommt mit der Krankheit eines Familienmitglieds, dann sagt man es an enge enge Verwandte um Kraft tanken zu können.
Wenn oder sollte Anachron dies zugelassen haben, dann kennt er dich das du immer im Vordergrund stehen willst und du machst nicht einmal vor Krankheiten halt, dies ist widerwärtig.
Anstatt es dem Anachron hier virtuell schön zu machen das er von seiner Krankheit abgelenkt wird, das es ihm in diesen Momenten etwas glücklich geht und Mut tanken kann machst du so etwas widerwärtiges und präsentierst es in der Öffentlichkeit. Damit stellst du Anachron in den Fokus das er immer wieder auf seine Krankheit angesprochen wird und permanent konfrontiert ist, das ist wirklich keine Hilfe für ihn. So kann kein Mensch der krank ist Energie tanken oder sich ablenkend entspannen, sei es auch nur für gewisse Phasen.

I feel sorry for Anachron. I hope for him he has the strength to pull through. What I find objectionable, Dorena, is that you are publicly airing a very personal matter Anachron’s serious illness in such detail; this is something deeply private that concerns only his partner and family. What you are doing here is undignified toward Anachron, and you really ought to realize that. Even in real life, people don't go around broadcasting a family member's illness to friends or distant relatives. That is something one does only when struggling to cope with the situation—sharing the news with very close family to find the strength to carry on.
If Anachron actually consented to this, then he must know that you always want to be the center of attention to the point where you won't even draw the line at illness; that is truly repulsive.
Instead of making things pleasant for Anachron here in the virtual world distracting him from his illness, bringing him moments of happiness, and helping him gather courage you do something so revolting and put it all on public display. You are making him the focus of attention in a way that ensures he is constantly asked about his illness and forced to confront it; that is certainly not helping him. No sick person can recharge their energy or find relaxing distraction even if only for brief periods under those circumstances.

This is my version of the BFE Darien Gag-C v3.0 Ba. When attached, it mutes IM's and local. There is no key to take and the menu is non-functional. When detached everything is restored.
There is also an automatic mouth-open pose so it looks correct when worn. If you attach it yourself from your inventory, you can detach (it's not locked on). If you put this in your #RLV folder (create a subfolder under #RLV named "gag") then you can be permantly muted by your Mistress. Quick and easy attach and shutup.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Fascism when not described in terms of governments is often done this way:

Oppressive, dictatorial control.

So dear reader I admit to the charge levelled against me, I am a fascist.

Because if calling out hate speech, especially when aimed at people of different sexuality or minorities or those with mental or physical disabilities is fascist, if targeting people who appear weak and may be easy to hurt is fascist count me in.

I am old and I have always been this way.

Forgive my stubbornness, I'm sorry if it has caused a disturbance in the Force.

Yours humbly

LETS SPREAD POSITIVITY NOT HATE!

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, hate and bashing towards other people. I try to ignore most of it but lately it has become to much. Why do people feel the need to use hateful words or put someone down.

No matter what religion we are, gender, political views or whatever it is, cant we just agree to disagree.

I have seen a lot of people in my time in Opensim do amazing things, anyone that can DJ, build, script and anything else, is awesome to me. For the ones that constantly tell everyone they are awesome its because they are. They do a lot of things i do not know how to do or cant.

So in conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all creators, builders, scripters, and etc, because without all of you, my regions wouldn't look as good as they do. I may take things and place them and put them together but the credits go to the creators, builders and scripters.

Instead of name calling and tearing people down, lets be a little kinder, lets ignore the negative and worry more about spreading positivity.

Comment's welcome but please be kind :)

Okay.. so being in the top10 grids has its issues.... Metaverselife has experienced DDOS attacks for over a week straight.... Unexpected but not unanticipated. Since a large number of Avitron grids residents have created accounts and taken land in Metaverse the attacks have been daily and persistent. Ive read quite a bit about the owner of said grid and have no doubt in my mind that there are ample motivations for such a person to cause such distress to others.4 years of this grid and minimal issues .. praying for his lost soul,..and adding CloudFlare..
