Has anyone experienced anything strange with their grids lately? A friend, (honestly not me), thinks that perhaps a worm is travelling through different grids causing the database to lose connectivity with the asset server files. (That's what he said). Apparently osgrid, digiworldz, barefoot grid, and some dreamgrids have been mysteriously affected by this supposed worm. Anyone out there have any information? Maybe it has happened to you? Maybe you know what it is and it is something else?

I have fallen far behind in my care and feeding of the now robust What Are You Looking For group. I'm making up for that by posting to the front page a list of our recent helpers that I would usually post in the group. My point in doing this is to let people know that their help will be acknowledged. I'm several months behind in doing this, so, for now, this is a list of our helpers in the past 2 months. I've also included info about them. If it's about their region, I've provided a region address. Go visit and know that they are nice people. If it's info about their interests and such, you might seek them out if you have a mutual interest, or use it as a conversation starter if you see them at an event. You will recognize them as they have avatars that look like the people in that charming picture of helpers. (Or maybe not. Ya, probably not.) In any case, you will want to get to know them because, as I've said, our helpers are good people. The list.

MrSnoodle, who likes books with pictures, preferably with thick card pages with little buildings that pop up. Me too! Why don’t we have any of them in OS?

SheaButter, creator of several regions including the zoo-themed Moe, where you can see how you can use animesh animals. avirtualworld.org:8002:Moe

Sunshine Szavanna, who explores music from around the world with a special focus on Africa & India.  Visit the Sunvibes region for a listen. hg.osgrid.org:80:Sunvibes

My thanks to them, and those I have not mentioned yet. They are why the group is so special.

I just caught up with the craziness about Lone stealing a floor from Marianna. Looks like she saw my post yesterday about our first monthly social with a picture of my Lotus Club on Luxor. it has a big circular dance floor with a blue arcane texture. I guess she assumed Lone stole that idea the day before yesterday's event and added to his Social region (which doesn't exist). That picture was from my Gala 6 months ago at the Lotus Club and which I built on Luxor a year ago. I have that same exact texture on one of my hypergates at Luxor. I have used that texture for years. I love arcane textures, especially on floors and ceilings - I have them on a floor in Castle Ceridwen and in my main store in the Magic and Mysteries room.

Looking for a New Owner for Coopersville – A 64-Sim-Sized Community in Kitely

Greetings!

I'm looking for a new owner for Coopersville in Kitely — an Edwardian-themed community that spans a 64-sim-sized region. I’m shifting my focus toward updating and adding to my Four Winds store. There are only so many things I can give proper attention to. Coopersville deserves someone who can be a more active community owner and leader.

I plan to give it until the end of April to find someone to take over ownership. The new owner would take over on April 30th, 2025 including the monthly payment.

The monthly cost of $89.95 USD would be grandfathered in. The 64-sim-sized region has 150,000 prims and can support up to 80 avatars. It is not currently an "always-on" region, but that option is available should the new owner choose to upgrade.

All of the content that is currently on the region would remain there and would remain the property of the original owners. I won't delete anything but I would retain ownership of the buildings and landscaping because it's too difficult to change ownership with permissions and all. The new owner could continue using them indefinitely until or if they wish to replace them. I will give the new owner copies of all of the buildings that I created that are displayed in Coopersville with the exception of the content on the center Four Winds area which will be deleted.

On the north side of the region are 14 256x256 islands, all but 3 currently have renters. These islands rent for $5.00 USD per month or $1000 KC. I hope the new owner would continue offering island rentals for the sake of the current residents, but that’s completely up to them.

There are also 13 free homes around the perimeter of the main continent (in the southwest area of the region). All but one are currently occupied, and those homes are presently free for the residents — again, the new owner can decide how they want to handle that.

There is a large downtown area on the main continent. It has 19 shops that are currently free to the merchants occupying them. A 20th shop is by the ocean. The new owner can decide if they want to continue this.

Coopersville, although Edwardian themed, is not currently a roleplay region. The new owner could easily change it to roleplay. There are areas that are perfect for events too.

Please see the Coopersville website for more information: https://coopersville.mystrikingly.com. The rentals and free homes listed there are not currently up to date, but I will be updating them soon. I’ve also added a very large amusement park, along with horse trails and wooded areas, which are not yet reflected on the site. You can read more about them and Coopersville here: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Koshari-Mahana/Cooper...

If you or someone you know might be interested in continuing the vision of Coopersville, please contact me by email at JenniSiri999@gmail.com.

If I cannot find a person to take ownership of Coopersville by April 30th it will be deleted. I truly hope that I can find a new owner.

Dear Everyone... After endless battles with windows 10. The bizarre server crashes, the triplicate items in my oars... I'm going to linux. Let me explain why, today my server decided the usb ports were no longer needed. So I have no mouse, no keyboard, they don't even work in bios. This system is on a very powerful UPS so I know lightning didn't get it, but on the other hand it was 5 years old. So in messing with it while the keyboard still worked, I tried to fix the mouse but wound up crashing my grid, and then the mother board died leaving me once again friendless with no grid. :( So I did what every opensimian does and ordered a new server. But I think this time I'm going with debian. Hopefully I can find someone that uses debian with opensim to give me some insider information to get it up and running when the new server comes in. But just so you know, I'm down due to mysterious server problems. I have created an account on wolf territories called CyberGlo CyberStar, you can friend me there and I will probably never lose your friendship. Sorry for the troubles. CC

Tenebra Design & Elegan-T

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

Drift to Coralys, where suspended islets pierce a phosphorescent sea and waterfalls whisper ancient legends beneath copper roofs.

Make your way between enigmatic towers and veiled paths: every corner holds a surprise—a forgotten sanctuary, a lighthouse that shouldn't exist, or a stone path leading further than you imagine.
Teleport, but listen: Coralys is not just to be seen, it's to be felt—let its mysteries call to you.

FR
- Dérivez vers Coralys, où des îlots suspendus percent une mer phosphorescente et des cascades murmurent d'anciennes légendes sous les toits de cuivre.
- Frayez-vous un chemin entre des tours énigmatiques et des sentiers voilés : chaque recoin recèle une surprise — un sanctuaire oublié, un phare qui ne devrait pas exister ou un chemin de pierre menant plus loin qu'on ne l'imagine.
Téléportez-vous, mais écoutez : Coralys n'est pas seulement à voir, c'est à ressentir — laissez-vous appeler par ses mystères.

ok so adding this here till i set another sim new item @ my Moonshine Creations Shop hope ya'll enjoy hugs Mystic~s

sorry if ya couldnt get this should be able to buy or copy it both ways and ,,,,,everything in the Moonshine Creations Shop is now fixed to copy or buy @0...seems something woped out my checkmarks lol

I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!

MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.

(Please Read Before Speaking)

Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..

Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.

Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.

Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.

Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.

Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.

Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.

Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.

Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.

Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.

Good afternoon Shoppers. You may have noticed Mystic posting on this page her wares, you will find these in the Legacy store on the South East of the region.

I, on the other hand have been a little busy bee today. I have had a couple of requests from customers for items that they are looking for, so in the fatpacks there is a huge array of apocalyptic items. We have new items in the 2025 building and in the NE of the region we have new items added for Legacy and LaraX. We try to do all fatpacks so that you can chop and change what you want to wear and how you wear it. We hope you enjoy.

Happy Shopping ♥

Welcome to Coralys, the suspended archipelago where a turquoise sea conceals ancient secrets. Between singing waterfalls, copper-roofed towers, and veiled paths, every step reveals a mystery—forgotten sanctuaries, impossible lighthouses, hanging gardens. Will you dare answer the call of Coralys?

Bienvenue sur Coralys, l’archipel suspendu où une mer turquoise cache des secrets anciens. Entre cascades chantantes, tours au toit de cuivre et sentiers voilés, chaque pas révèle un mystère — sanctuaires oubliés, phares impossibles, jardins suspendus. Oserez‑vous répondre à l’appel de Coralys ?

Step inside Gridlock Manor, a fully interactive murder mystery experience where every room holds a secret and every clue could change the outcome.

Inspired by classic deduction-style games, this immersive adventure challenges you to piece together the truth behind a chilling crime. Was it a familiar face? A hidden weapon? Or a room that holds more than meets the eye?

Your mission:
Uncover the suspect
Identify the weapon
Pinpoint the location

Using your in-world HUD, you’ll explore the manor, gather clues, and make your accusation. But be careful—some details are designed to mislead.

What makes Gridlock Manor different:

Fully interactive environment built in OpenSim
Dynamic mystery that changes regularly
Solo or group gameplay
Real-time deduction with live results

Every visit offers a new challenge. Every guess brings you closer—or further—from the truth.

Do you have what it takes to solve it?

Update on the Mysterious Island
In 2026, a paleontologist and her boyfriend arrived on the island to conduct research on the "Pau na Xota" tribe. King Naxota agreed, but her boyfriend was taken prisoner, and she had to accept the tribe's rules. The last existing photo is of an acceptance ritual and a celebratory banquet. Of course, the banquet consisted of the body of a member of a rival tribe who was killed in battle. As far as is known, the paleontologist had to "please the king." But after a few weeks, there is no more news about the couple.

Let the music cast its spell. The flamekeeper is ready.

All New stuff going out at the mall. Things I made in Meshy so you won't find them anywhere else. Stop by and see! There are Monsters for your Halloween decor, there are carved caves, mysterious portals, beautiful arches, and some absolutely adorable little critters that make the cutest little nick knacks. There is a nice statue of a swordsman and a "Sleeping Beauty" scene. And there will be more coming!! This stuff is all free and full perm except for re-texturing as these textures were applied in Meshy and cannot be changed. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Looking for a New Owner for Coopersville – A 64-Sim-Sized Community in Kitely

Greetings!

I'm looking for a new owner for Coopersville in Kitely — an Edwardian-themed community that spans a 64-sim-sized region. I’m shifting my focus toward updating and adding to my Four Winds store. There are only so many things I can give proper attention to. Coopersville deserves someone who can be a more active community owner and leader.

I plan to give it until the end of April to find someone to take over ownership. The new owner would take over on April 30th, 2025 including the monthly payment.

The monthly cost of $89.95 USD would be grandfathered in. The 64-sim-sized region has 150,000 prims and can support up to 80 avatars. It is not currently an "always-on" region, but that option is available should the new owner choose to upgrade.

All of the content that is currently on the region would remain there and would remain the property of the original owners. I won't delete anything but I would retain ownership of the buildings and landscaping because it's too difficult to change ownership with permissions and all. The new owner could continue using them indefinitely until or if they wish to replace them. I will give the new owner copies of all of the buildings that I created that are displayed in Coopersville with the exception of the content on the center Four Winds area which will be deleted.

On the north side of the region are 14 256x256 islands, all but 3 currently have renters. These islands rent for $5.00 USD per month or $1000 KC. I hope the new owner would continue offering island rentals for the sake of the current residents, but that’s completely up to them.

There are also 13 free homes around the perimeter of the main continent (in the southwest area of the region). All but one are currently occupied, and those homes are presently free for the residents — again, the new owner can decide how they want to handle that.

There is a large downtown area on the main continent. It has 19 shops that are currently free to the merchants occupying them. A 20th shop is by the ocean. The new owner can decide if they want to continue this.

Coopersville, although Edwardian themed, is not currently a roleplay region. The new owner could easily change it to roleplay. There are areas that are perfect for events too.

Please see the Coopersville website for more information: https://coopersville.mystrikingly.com. The rentals and free homes listed there are not currently up to date, but I will be updating them soon. I’ve also added a very large amusement park, along with horse trails and wooded areas, which are not yet reflected on the site. You can read more about them and Coopersville here: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Koshari-Mahana/Cooper...

If you or someone you know might be interested in continuing the vision of Coopersville, please contact me by email at JenniSiri999@gmail.com.

If I cannot find a person to take ownership of Coopersville by April 30th it will be deleted. I truly hope that I can find a new owner.

Good Day, Friends!

I’m often asked, “What happens to the art when it’s taken down to make room for a new exhibition?” My response has always been that select works from each artist are preserved and moved to another gallery space, becoming part of a permanent exhibition that contributes to OpenSim’s evolving history. Up until now, that was only a vision—a future project in my mind.

I’m thrilled to announce that vision has finally come to life with The Archive Collection. While the name may be straightforward, it leaves no mystery about the treasures inside! 😊

I’ve included some photos—one of them shows me standing in front of the building, to give you a sense of its scale. To enhance your visit, I’ve also added a grand piano I uploaded and added a variety of scripted music that you can play by touching the keys while enjoying the art. There’s even a version of the piano with animation options available at my shop.

As we approach September, those of you with art ready for display are welcome to bring it by the gallery anytime. If you’re not already in the group, please let me know so I can add you to the correct role so you can rez.

I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition and, from what I’ve seen so far, it promises to be a feast for all our senses! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Mysteriously... The gate which worked fine last night, didn't work today. Also I found that all the prims and scripts had been changed. (Someone is either a super hacker or a voodoo witch doctor, and im not sure which...) Anyway after being visited by the jealous talentless people once again... I've repaired it to full working order. We will call this version 5. So... here we go...
New! Amazing! Pegasus stargate that actually rotates and dials other sims and grids!!! PLUS this one has a working DHD, the dialer device in front of the gate in the photo that talks to the gate and actually will dial the place for you!!! NOW FREE AT cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Free Magic COME GET YOURS TODAY!!!

COME GET TIED UP AT THE "oh HELLO" OUTFIT EMPORIUM.
OK, the name of the shop is just oh HELLO, but I was in the mood today to say emporium. Great word, yes? So, now that is out of my system -- tied up? I guess I should have said "come get a tied up dress". But not just one. What you see is just one of the 3 metallic colors in the dress fatpack. There are also 6 floral options and a huge number of solid colors. There are also 16 dresses with the name "Misc." Ooooo, I love a mystery! You also get everything pictured here, (but me) and some of these items are also part of a fatpack.

oh HELLO! Outfits with Options.

fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi

(Now, if you do want to get tied up while wearing a tied-up dress, the question is, which color is best? Asking for a friend).

Mysterious Island Adventure is open! Take passage from the main dock next to the welcome area, to Mysterious Island! Survive the shipwreck and scale the rocks to find the inner lush jungle. But beware of the Dino's! Cross treacherous paths to find the Tiki camp. You will see the Adventure Scroll with information on this exciting quest. Will you have the courage to face a T-Rex as you cross the jungle? Can you figure out where the hidden cave is? Follow the clues and earn your reward!

😹 WHY ARE WE STILL MAKING SONGS?!

We asked ourselves this question somewhere around song number eight.

Then Boo started another beat.
Jimi found another riff.
Marc said: "What if the bass does THIS?"
Das Tier hit a drum fill that had no business being that dramatic.
NOIR played something mysterious.
And suddenly...

...there was another song.

Maybe we're making songs because silence keeps losing the argument.

Maybe because every strange idea deserves a soundtrack.

Maybe because somewhere out there, one listener needs exactly that ridiculous groove at exactly the right moment.

Or maybe we're just completely unable to stop.

The algorithms don't know.
The spreadsheets don't know.
Even we don't know.

But creativity often comes from showing up again and again, not from waiting for inspiration. Many musicians describe the process itself as the reward, regardless of trends or metrics.

So the answer is:

WHY ARE WE STILL MAKING SONGS?!

Because Boo still has batteries.
Because Das Tier found another drum fill.
Because the neon is still glowing.
Because the audience keeps smiling.
Because the next song might be the one that makes somebody's day.

And because honestly...

we're having way too much fun to stop.

Die Nacht gehört uns…Kerzenschein, dunkle Eleganz und pulsierende Beats erwarten dich bei einer unserer Gothic Party.
Zieh dein schönstes Schwarz an und tauche mit uns ein in eine Welt aus Schatten, Nebel und düsterer Romantik.Freu dich auf harte Sounds, mystische Atmosphäre und eine Nacht voller Geheimnisse. Ob Vampir, Dark Romantik oder Industrial Soul du bist willkommen, wenn die Dunkelheit dein Zuhause ist.
Heute ab 19 Uhr im Tosca
„Where darkness dances and the night never ends.“

As you walk along the winding paths of Fantasia, the air itself seems to shimmer with quiet enchantment. Birds sing melodies you’ve never heard before, and the ground beneath your feet glows faintly, as if it remembers every traveler who has passed this way. Soon, you cross a large stone bridge arching gracefully over a sparkling stream. The water below laughs and bubbles as it rushes past, reflecting flashes of color like scattered jewels.

On the other side of the bridge, you arrive at Mushroom Village. Towering mushrooms of every shape and size rise from the earth, their caps painted in brilliant reds, blues, golds, and purples. Some glow softly, while others seem to sway gently, as if greeting you. The colors are so bright and vivid that they almost feel unreal, like a dream brought to life.

Happy little gnomes bustle about everywhere, their laughter filling the air. They tend lovingly to their gardens, watering glowing flowers, trimming vines that sparkle with dew, and whispering softly to the plants as they work. A few pause to wave at you, their eyes twinkling with curiosity and kindness.

As you take it all in, a warm sense of wonder settles over you. In that moment, you finally realize that Mushroom Village is just like the rest of Fantasia—overflowing with magic, joy, and mystery, a place where imagination lives and miracles feel completely natural.

@everyone 2026 has begun and its time to get to planning OSFest 2026 - yes we are starting early 😉 Tentative dates are October 9, 2026 thru October 24, 2026. Our primary goal is to have 65% events on other grids and 35% on the OSFest grid.

Choosing our theme is the next step so I created a ranked choice bot we can use to narrow choices without people "bandwagoning" or seeing spoilers. Each poll we vote on is limited to 5 choices so we will be running more than one ranked choice poll to help us rank suggested themes. When you vote, (ranking your choices), assign a number from 1 to 5 to each choice where the best choice is 5 and the worst choice is 1. So far we have the following suggestions:

Into the Future
Into the Past
Alternate Timelines
Change the World
Ancient Myths
Nautical
Ships (Air, Land, and Sea)
Architecture
Science Fiction
Futuristic Living
Fantasy
Supernatural
Mysteries and Monsters
Color (Single color per exhibit)
Physically based rendering (PBR)

Do we want to have more than one theme? Are there any more suggestions before I create the polls in the polling-channel?

🔥 New mystical-decorative gem from Sciattisi! 🔥
Yes, you read that right: today we're going beyond the Zen garden and officially entering the "backyard worship" category.

Here's our brand new and surprising:

Celtic Altar – Special Outdoor Furnishings

Perfect for those who want to give their green space a spiritual touch, a little Druidic, a little Nordic design, and all very scenic.

Here's what the sacred combo includes:

🪨 Stone altar – carved to withstand time, the elements, and the chatter of neighbors.
🔥 Celtic pyre (yes, we're talking real fire!) – to summon ancient spirits.
🍲 2 Offering Bowls to the Gods, one stone and one steel – to use for ritual offerings, incense grains... or maybe chips if friends are coming over.
✨ Polysurface – elegant with dry branches
