I'm beginning to realize Opensim may be a dying platform and I'm starting to question the time and expenditure involved in maintaining a physical store.. The hypergrid has lots and lots of interesting regions, but only music events appear to have any traffic, and there seem to be few vibrant socializations outside of those. I've stayed this long because I love to create and I can do things on Opensim I can't do in SL, but at some point, it gets lonely being on the platform and sales barely break even.

Those who do come, love what they find here, and I've had a few very generous patrons of my work, for whom I am deeply appreciative. You have kept me going. But by and large, the hypergrid as a whole does not value original creators who want to sell their work, only those willing to give everything away.

A number of merchant friends have already either closed, or are considering it. I'll give it to the end of this year and see where things stand. In the meantime, I offer my sincere thanks to those of you who have loved my work and been inspired by it.

Blessed be.

Truly a sad day in my SIM, when i have to resort to this... a truly ugly sign, in all sense of the word. BUT kids are people too and deserve protection just like in real life. If you are a child or faerie AV, we are the top rated SIM, for Faeries and children alike. We have a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy and staff online 24/7 to ensure our residents safety.

Warning for re-share re-sell grid's and store's remove items from your store's linkt to Amber Tanaka or KohakuGrid24.ru if this wont stop i wil stop releasing new item's to the public. (it is un posble to make sure the users have the right version of the item and unposble to give support if needed like this and u are actively stealing traffic)

Hi Folks
Nice that you are all still here. Friends, envious, haters and hackers I love you all. You think Rakis is dead? Noooooo! 8 unix grid now run fine. ♥ You want my OAR's e.g. Free House Sim 1 + 2 and more? Then go to my website and get it. Hacker, trying to hack the website. The surprise will be great. :-D
https://www.rakisworld.ch/oar/
have fun.
DMCA blah blah: Everything has to be passed on to CMT. Just as we got it from the creator. Later access changes go by our ass. For lawyers: info@rakisworld.ch IGE IPI CH
Charge for your own work, but take everything from others for free !? Steal all CMT right and left and pass on NO mod, NO copy, NO trance. Those are the ones that should be banned from OS!

Best Regards
Rakis Heron

DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF THE PREVIOUS THREAD, I HAVE STARTED A NEW ONE !!
This thread will be a GENERAL POLL. Yes or No to the existence of Child or Child-Like avatars, BUT you MUST leave a comment explaining why. Comments that are single word answers will be deleted. Comments that are slanderous, hateful or abusive will also be deleted. YOU are an ADULT, leave an adult response please. I look forward to the comments and different points of view.

Comment to the review of MarkZyn at Stark:
Beeing unfriendly to our visitors is not the nature of either me or Niki. You can ask whoever you want, so I guess you never got in contact with us. Child avatars aren't allowed at Stark, but we can't be there the whole time to see who is on. So if you have a problem with something or someone it would be nice if you would have get in contact with me BEFORE you write such an unfair and defamatory review. But I guess that was all you wanted. Your account is brand new and empty, seems to be created just for that reason.

The first time ever in open sim, a magazine dedicated to Hentai in all its glory. This magazine will have you all racing to the store to get many copies. Hehehehehehehe!
It is rude and it is fun so please dont take offence. It is A rated but not malicious or ill meaning.

You can get old or new style vendors containing the whole range of Stark! magazines from the welcome area at Stark Islands.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Little hacker bastard. Look how big the story is. You can hack as much as you want. It doesn't change the story. You are only momentary and nothing you do as a hacker makes you bigger. You are nothing, you have nothing, you will not have been in the end. How pathetic and pitiful. You think what you do is important and right. But you are alone, frustrated, and your hacking successes are those pathetic self-affirmations that don't really satisfy you. You want a world where you are respected. But you are not able to find your way in this world. Not able to approach people and see and accept the positive. To be or not to be, that is the question. In the end it was light or nothing. It's up to you. The negative cannot win. The + always flows to the - and no hacker turns it around. Hackers are mostly children of drug parents or rich people who are socially unfit. So sad, OK smart kids wake up sometime and make something of their life. Failures give up and their characters become impoverished. They fight hard for recognition in an environment where everyone is abusing everyone else to achieve the same illusion. In principle intelligent .... but what use is it if you are socially unfit? There are people who have created positive things, whose name will survive. Your miserable life and the attempts to enrich yourself ...... Your demise will not be noticed.

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!

So many moralists ... OK too many. I don't understand it, please help me. You don't do everything yourself. You copy right and left. From people who give you everything free, copy mod transe. You do the same things on your land/sim. You block it for others. No mod no trans ...... DID YOU ASK YOURSELF AT WHICH RIGHT? ACROSS FROM YOUR PEOPLE? Do you understand the message Yes? Welcome to Opensim! :-)
Go to Google, learn what is Opensim Free spirit!

So viele Moralisten... OK zu viele. Ich verstehe es nicht, hilf mir bitte. Du machst nicht alles selner. Du kopierst rechts und links. Bei Menschen die Dir alles frei geben, copy mod transe. Die selben Sachen stellst Du an sin Land. Du sperrst es für andere. No mod no trans...... HAST DU DICH IRGEND WANN GEFRAGT: MIT WELCHEM RECHT? GEGENÜBER DEINEN MITMENSCHEN? Verstehst Du die Botschaft? Ja? Willkommen in Opensim! :-)
Gehe zu Google, lerne was Opensim Freigeist ist!

Due to the frequent attempts to use the Bordello as a gathering place for minors with pedophiles, access is now only with special permission. Permission is given only by Pagane Succubus.
Store will continue to be open for all, but now is only store.

P.S. Lets explain - you may use any avatar in my grid! Restrictions is for your REAL world age!!!

To Opensimworld, can you please look at the last three messages I received? I have three threats from your members. As soon as they threaten they delete account. I am just now home from being evacuated for two weeks, not even online so accusing me of being a hacker is laughable. Very funny that those doing the hacking are the ones accusing. Warning we have a few nuts loose at opensimworld.

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!
Niki & Mattie

They are not DJs.. but they make the music "to play" everyday at Opensim. *** 3D logo OPENSIM WANTS U for ur place - FREE and FULL PERM with URL giver script that links u to how to donate to opensim developers. If u dont donate, consider rezing this at ur area to help the boys :) Enjoy :)

Ok so that's it? Gloebit just dies quietly without commentary or outrage - a financial exchange that merchants, performers, and multiple grids depended on? Doesn't even merit an apology from Colosi. Not to mention the money owed to customers for their balances. If this had been a bank, the feds would have taken it over on day 4, but since it's Opensim, we just let any shady company or grid owner steal our money and walk all over us without a whimper.

BABIES! If you want to start a family here in Open Grid we NOW have the means. These are babies that cry, laugh, they are posable, play and more.
Experience pregnancy thru delivery and your baby growing!!
Pick a nursery that’s already set up or have Jewel create one just for You!
The clinic, babies and furniture are all available in store on Discovery Grid, or you can also find the babies and furniture available on the Kitely Market Place under Crown Jewel's gifts or search baby
There are NO CHILD AVATARS involved in the system, so there are no TOS problems with grids not allowing child avis.
For more information contact Jewel Hunter on Discovery Grid

Last days i was upset from pedophile attacks again my avatar:(
Perverted brains who fight against beauty ask from me to use ugly fat avatar.
Only reason for this may be sick pedophile brain who dream kids until see on beauty and petite woman!
It is time to kick out hatred and vulgarity from OpenSim!
From my store may get protest titlier in support of beauty...

Don't usually do drama politics lol but i recieved more than the usual Hate Mail since posting here. 1. This is no Second Life 2. 70% of the items i see for sale in Second Life are free downloadable objects and clothes modified and then resold for quite alot of money (i do game graphics in RL) 3. OS Grid came to us as a free open source and is especially valuable to those who are handicapped and on low incomes who can never never never afford SL to create their dreams 4. No other grid would be around if not for the FREE tech service from OS grid staff and developers 5. If you tweeked your copy of OS Grid sofware for YOUR GRID and it runs better GREAT that is what we want! YOUR HAPPINESS 6. When attending someones event try to have manners if possible, I know these are hard times and everyone is on edge but lets all just step back for a moment and take a breath. Im happy to help anyone or discuss or listen Hugsss and have a great day HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

NEW !

Region is closed because of malice and envy.
Go to modern pseudo puritan lands...

Too many peoples come to speak about moral, rules e.t.c.
Same peoples who continue to not control their subscribers and allow to kids to enter in adult regions and act as adults hiden under 2,50m high mutant avatars. Why? Because this kids pay money for this? Or because some other reason? And same peoples speak me about moral in strictly adult server?

And never forget Bordelo is closed private server for its owner and family and not have any external customers. All problems here is because of visitors from your grids!

Again - stop to calc pixels on screen and to control avatar!
Please all server owners who not control age of subscribers to not mark "18+ flag". Never alow fake +18 flag! This is real problem in OpenSim!

I will use avatar what i like, because my real age is adult!

It was working fine and that before bad storms and i saw it coming so i quickly shut down grid & regions then shut down pc and that when next day it gone crazy with blue screen saying memory management, etc you know silly thing. I think i guess it can be corrupted Windows cause i run DVD Linux on it and ran for hours so it have no issues. People that have regions in Ausgrid are missing Ausgrid and so am I missing it.

Moria brennt !
Eventplanung
Etwas über ein Jahr ist es nun her, dass wir bei uns in Dorenas World ein Event zum Thema Flüchtlinge in Mittelmeer veranstaltet haben. Titel: Seenotrettung ist kein Verbrechen
In der Zwischenzeit ist viel geschehen, aber es hat sich wenig verändert - und wenn dann kaum zum Besseren. Wir hören von Booten in Seenot die von der Marine nicht nur nicht gerettet, sondern auf's offene Meer hinausgedrängt werden - ein Verbrechen, dass jeder Menschlichkeit Hohn spricht. Und die, die es bis auf die griechische Insel Lesbos geschafft haben, hat man mit unzureichender Versorgung zu Tausenden in ein völlig überfülltes Lager buchstäblich eingepfercht. Es war keine Überraschung, was wir jetzt an schrecklichen Bildern zu sehen bekommen:
Moria brennt !
Es war eine Katastrophe mit Ansage - und das Elend ist noch nicht am Ende. Schon ist man dabei das Problem zu "lösen", indem man die Menschen in ein neues Lager einzusperren versucht.

Wir denken es ist höchste Zeit für ein neues Event und haben die Woche vom 21.-27.9. dafür ausgewählt, denn es ist keine Zeit zu verlieren.

Wer mit Aktivitäten oder Ideen Idea zu diesem Event beitragen möchte, wird gebeten sich kurzfristig mit mir oder Anachron in Verbindung zu setzen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event planning

It's been a little over a year since we hosted an event on the topic of refugees in the Mediterranean at Dorenas World. Title: Rescue at sea is not a crime
Much has happened in the meantime, but little has changed - and if so, hardly for the better. We hear of boats in distress that are not only not rescued by the navy, but are pushed out to sea - a crime that scorns all humanity. And those who made it to the Greek island of Lesbos were literally cooped up by the thousands into a completely overcrowded camp with insufficient supplies. It was no surprise what horrible pictures we now see:
Moria is on fire!
It was a catastrophe with an announcement - and the misery is not over yet. You are already in the process of "solving" the problem by trying to lock people up in a new camp.

We think it is high time for a new event and we have the week of September 21-27. selected for this because there is no time to waste.

Anyone who would like to contribute to this event with activities or ideas is asked to contact me or Anachron at short notice.

WHO ARE WE??

Alternate Metaverse, also known as AMV Grid publicly opened its doors on December 5th 2019, after taking 5 months of creating and developing a grid that is Secure, Technically sound with 6 large servers and another server for special projects, and filled with fun and interesting content from the start. We offer low land costs, single regions to expanded VAR packages, Optional "ready to move in" pre-built regions, Free use Cabanas (At Cayo Beach) Open Waters & Skies upon request, Mesh Starter Avatars, Arts and Education, Free Shopping areas and incredible beautiful regions to explore!
Residents get regional "god mode" powers on their land and can copy their OAR files & Restart their regions via the website!

WHY ARE WE TREATING DIGIWORLDZ REFUGEES TO ONE FREE MONTH?

Digiworldz recently banned this grid for giving God powers to our land owners, then cut us off- also cutting their residents access to Alternte Metaverse. We have a large number of visitors from that grid and want them to enjoy our grid, so we are simply making it an easier transition if they wish to come here!

Our goal was to create a paradise with Arts, Education, Free Shopping, Multiple Clubs, Beaches, Parks & open Skies and waters! The Paradise is HERE on Alternate Metaverse at low cost- All we need now is YOU!

Create your account on our website http://alternatemetaverse.com - Confirm the email sent to you and join us in creating a new life and a new start for you!

I will be away from Opensim, and so my region in Sacrarium Grid. This will be a long absence (maybe several months) due to RL changes (nothing bad don't worry).

Zetra will stay opened, managed by WhiteAngel Deed (Sacrarium owner). If there is a problem on the region, please contact him.

My RL client received her earrings today. This is the first exclusive RL order. It is such a rewarding experience to first create jewelry but to see it realized in RL has brought tears, it is an overwhelming awesome experience! Thank you to my kind and generous client! It is very much appreciated!

Pink Floyd - In the Flesh! Or is it In the Mesh? Ernest and I spent all day bringing album cover art to life today. A different spin on art, but the installations are pretty amazing to see! Come by Battersea and see for yourself!
