💕 SPEED DATING – APHRA SOCIAL CLUB

Our last Speed Dating event was a great success, and people have already asked us to do it again. Well, the event, of course. LOL!

Everyone is welcome to join the party – and nobody has to participate in dating.

What makes this event different from an ordinary party? Our incredible Dating Boards! You can leave your picture and a notecard at any time, whether you're looking for love, friendship, or simply curious about who's out there.

The boards are automatically cleared every four weeks, which is why I think making this a monthly event is a great idea!

And remember: Everyone is welcome, just cover your bits! We're relaxed here, not formal. This isn't the grand ballroom affair – not yet, anyway! 😉

MEN, MEMORIES & ART

A Visual Autobiography by Aphra Hendrix
This exhibition brings together a collection of artworks created over several years, each inspired by someone who crossed my path and left a mark on my life – lovers, musicians, artists and friends.

From my first love in France in 1985 to the vibrant years in Berlin and the encounters that followed, these works reflect different chapters of my personal journey. They tell stories of passion, inspiration, friendship, artistic collaboration and loss.

Looking back at these pieces today, I see more than individual artworks. Together, they form a visual diary of people, emotions and unforgettable moments – a personal history told through colours, images and creative expression.

I created these works some years ago and am now considering revisiting and reworking them. Whether they will be ready by Wednesday remains to be seen.

If not, the exhibition will make its debut at our next Speed Dating event – an occasion that seems particularly fitting for a collection exploring love, relationships and the unexpected ways people become part of our stories.

Every picture has a story. Every story leaves a mark.

🌐 **GridGather: three weeks in, and the Hypergrid showed up!** 🎉

Hey OpenSim family! 👋

When we launched on October 13, GridGather was a brand-new idea: one social home for every grid on the Hypergrid. Three weeks later, here's where we are:

👥 **70+ members** and growing every week
🗺️ **55 Regions** with their own pages, photo feeds and live "who's online" status
🎶 **30+ Venues** showing live head counts from their in-world boards
📡 **Dozens of GatherPoint boards** reporting in around the clock, across the grids
⏱️ **Almost 8 minutes** on the average visit. You're not just stopping by, you're hanging out!

✨ **New since launch:**
🏷️ **Post badges**: Greetings, Now Hiring, seasonal fun and more
🏠 **Venues in Regions**: link your club to the sim it lives on, even as a tenant on a friend's Region
🕰️ **Automatic Grid Time**: event times stay right through every time change
🔑 **One board for everything**: any Venue or Region key works on the new GatherPoint v10.4 board

Thank you to every DJ, host, builder and explorer who took a chance on something new. You're the reason it works. 💜

"Hi everyone. I decided to post this screenshot because the situation really struck a nerve, and I have nothing to hide. This guy spewed a ton of vile hate under my post.
Honestly? It just hurts. It’s painful and disgusting to read how you—along with millions of others—are dragged through the mud simply because of the passport you hold or where you were born. This guy goes on, in all seriousness, about the 'free world,' while being completely consumed by blind xenophobia. He thinks it’s perfectly fine to paint everyone with the same brush and strip people of their right to simply be human, judging the world based solely on images from the TV.
I want to address all the reasonable people in this community. Is it really considered normal these days to judge someone by their nationality rather than their individual actions? I didn’t bother anyone, I didn’t insult any of you—I just shared some content. And suddenly, I’m hit with this nonsense claiming that we’re 'not human' and that we should be wiped off the face of the earth. Tell me, please: is this the 'freedom' and the 'European values' that everyone keeps shouting about? Dividing people into 'right' and 'wrong' nationalities is pure fascism, no matter what you call it.
I’m nearly 40 years old; I just want to live my life, connect with others, grow, and go about my own business. I didn’t choose where I was born—just like none of you did! And I have no intention of bearing the brunt of someone else’s aggression or personal issues. Decent people always judge someone by who they are on the inside, what they do, and how they treat those around them. What you see in this screenshot is nothing more than cowardly harassment. This guy showed up, dumped a load of filth for no reason, and then just vanished." Let me know what you think about this. It’s genuinely important for me to see if there are still people here who can think for themselves, rather than just parroting clichés from the internet. Wishing everyone peace and kindness.

Liebe Lagerfeuertänzer und Musikzuhörer.
Morgen am 2. November ab 20:00 Uhr(12:00 SLT) gibts wieder eine Musikalische Rumpelkiste am Lagerfeuer. (Vormusik ab 19:30).
Leute - wir haben schon November - und jetzt wirds kühler draussen - da werde ich doch mal den versprochenen zweiten Italienischen Abend "auspacken" - damit uns zumindest musikalisch noch die Gedanken an einen Italienurlaub aufwärmen können. Dann mal avanti, avanti...

Dear campfire dancers and music lovers.
Tomorrow, November 2nd, starting at 8:00 PM (12:00 SLT) , there will be another musical romp around the campfire. (Pre-music starts at 7:30 PM).
Folks – it's already November – and now it's getting colder outside – so I'll finally "unpack" the promised second Italian evening – so that we can at least warm ourselves musically with thoughts of an Italian vacation. Let's go, avanti!

These are our first two bodies. Building more takes time, but this is just the beginning!

special update!
identified an issue in opensimulator server code with /homeagent that allowed anyone on the internet to post fake info including ip address with just a avatar uuid and add entries to presence. if you had weird ghosts show up on your grid could be why maybe. who know what else somebody else could do with that. anyway /homeagent is used when you teleport to another grid or back home. I changed it so it has to get a secure session id to accept data. i arbitrarily decided to make the life of the token 8 hours. So if you are on any grid more then 8 hours without teleporting to another grid you may have to relog before teleporting. You can stay on the grid longer just not teleport anywhere. I can change that if it's an issue. the other problem had to do with assets that came in with meta data but no assets, they were piling up and causing an effect like washing tennis shoes in the washer. now the incoming metadata can only last 15 minutes without corresponding asset data or gets wiped. this is on new assets as the come in, does not mess with existing assets. have fun!

PUBLIC NOTICE REGARDING THE RURITANIA REGIONS ON LITTLEFIELD:
After 15 years with Ruritania on Littlefield, our admin/owner team has decided not to host Ruritania going forward on Littlefield Grid. This is no reflection on Xi Shi or anyone from Ruritania, it's simply a business decision we had to make. We wish Xi and Ruritania well at their new home wherever that may be (you will have to contact Xi directly for that information).

Thanks,
Walter Balazic / Dirk Mathers
