ANNOUNCEMENT - ANKÜNDIGUNG


[GERMAN VERSION]


Liebe Freunde and Starkies,

was wir heute ankündigen werden, fällt uns nicht leicht. Niki und ich, Mathilda, haben beschlossen, den Betrieb von Stark Islands nach dem 30. Juni 2021 einzustellen.
Wir haben uns viele Gedanken darüber gemacht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen wir Stark hätten weiterlaufen lassen könnten. Aber letztendlich hätte es zu viele Änderungen geben müssen und Stark wäre nicht mehr das gleiche gewesen. Außerdem haben wir uns außerhalb von OpenSim eine neue Aufgabe gestellt. Einerseits bedauern wir, Stark zu schließen, nach all der harten Arbeit, die wir in dieses Paradies investiert haben. Aber wir sind auch sehr stolz darauf, dass wir es bis nach ganz weit oben auf der Liste der beliebtesten Regionen von OSW geschafft zu haben. Das wäre ohne euch, unsere wunderbare Gemeinschaft, nicht möglich gewesen.
Deshalb möchten Niki und ich uns an dieser Stelle bedanken. Danke an alle Starkies für eure Unterstützung und Treue. Danke an unsere DJ’s! Jeder einzelne von Euch hat mit seinen mittlerweile legendären Sets zum Erfolg von Stark beigetragen. Danke an das Zeta Worlds Team, ohne dessen Unterstützung der stabile Betrieb einer solch leistungshungrigen Region wie Stark nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Danke auch an alle Besucher, die jederzeit herzlich willkommen waren und viele nette Kommentare und Likes hinterlassen haben. Wir wünschen euch allen von ganzem Herzen alles, alles Gute!
Für OpenSim wünsche ich mir, dass die Leute, die Grids, viel stärker zusammenarbeiten und nicht gegeneinander. Ihr seid ein Grid! Das Hypergrid! Nur gemeinsam hat OpenSim eine Chance.
Wir werden euch im Auge behalten und vielleicht, irgendwann, sehen wir uns wieder.

In diesem Sinne, lebt wohl!
Niki & Mathilda Stark

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.

I would like to address some people's questions about why they can't access my store or are banned.
There may be various reasons for this. For one thing, your grid is or has been blocked by OSGrid, or you are a HG Blocked User...but I think the main reason is that you simply took my stuff and offered it for sale under your name on your grid or store without asking me or my permission. You were even so cheeky that you altered the images that normally bear my logo. To get to the point... I'm sick of risking my ass for those people and investing my time so that they can take credit for other people's work!!! Even if you keep trying to come up with ALTs, your ass will be banned, as some have found out in the last few days. So keep your ass to yourself on the grids, get something going of your own, but don't think I'm a stupid little noodle. I'm better skilled than you can ever imagine, and I'll catch you again and again.
and by the way...you have a Mouth and can ask before you just grab others Works!!

I am devastated. I loved and respected Mal, and I will miss his friendship and spending time with him, as we all will. There is a Facebook group, Friends Of Mal https://www.facebook.com/groups/friendsofmal if you would like to join in honoring and remembering him. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend. Until we meet again.

It is so sad to see osgrid deleting their entire database of assets. I imagine much will be lost and never seen again from people who haven't logged in for a while. I heard they are starting from scratch. So sad to see their asset database in such a terrible disarray that they had to throw the ENTIRE THING into the rubbish bin. Databases are fickle beings... They don't appreciate drama... hehehe...

Another fun project. "The Legend of La Mariecomo" She was a legendary witch of south-east New Brunswick Canada, who lived from 1838 - 1910. She was like the Marie Laveaux of Canada. I learned of her while studying my Mi'kmaq and French ancestry. I think we have a few people from that area in OpenSim. If anyone knows of her story, I would love to hear from you.

There is a book that is out of print, unfortunately: La mariecomo: Roman (Collection Les Romanciers du jour ; R-112) (French Edition)

"Mariecomo is the story of an Acadian witch (born in 1838, died around 1910) who made the rain and the good weather during the second half of the 19th century in the Acadian villages of the southeast coast of New Brunswick. From Cap-Pelé to Richibouctou, it was the "country of Mariecomo" and like the other sorcerers, witches, spellcasters, fortune tellers, readers of the black books, the Little and Great Albert, the Richibouctou Tears, celebrants of black masses, white and black magic, etc., Mariecomo was part of the "sect" that the world called the "sorcerers of the Coast"."

**Dali Babe LARAX Megapack OUT NOW!**
Aaaand here comes the LaraX megapack of the Dali Babe body skin packs!
...which I thought was the last, but there's non-LaraX, Maitreya (Athena) 5.3 too..
This one does not come with a shape, so just use your body default one.
As with the others: Comes in 3 different body styles, 22 tones each, and TONS of add-ons!

Hello, I try to participate by mixing the useful with the pleasant, I wanted to make a gallery of people on Opensim, and I opted for a gallery on Flickr, more easily consultable. For this I need the help of all those who want to participate, without your help, the project will fail because it is about the people of Opensim. I take the photos, I try to capture something special in each of you, if you like it, and to bring out the image of a community in black and white, you have to come into the world to see the colors. Here is the beginning of the gallery. Thank you for your attention, friendly. Send me a message here or in world to help me and dont be shy :)

Hello Virtual Folks!

I seem to find it hard to find a nice Gay locations, NOPE! I don't want to hear about secondlife been there, that place is Drama! Anyways, I'm creating a region that is going to be Gay friendly also its friendly for those who just want to be friends and not discriminate! I'll add the region soon, I'm still working on it. My friend gave me some gay stuff, so I'll be adding those too.

Now, I don't want hate in my post, so please if you're not supportive of Gays thats ok! Its you're right just please move on.

You don't have to be gay to visit, just don't hate.

If you have a gay region you can add it to my post and I'll visit.

Thanks for reading! HUGS

Amber Tanaka who used to be the owner of the failed kohaku grid, and changed her name to "user name" on this forum, had this to say to me in The Box on this very page today...
"User Name 6 hours ago
@Cyberglo it is sad that u need to tel yourself that u are awesome so often. (to me u are just another brain rotten woke fagot with way too much time on his hand wasting away on this forum)"
Right next to a post by copper, who had this to say about me, "Copper 5 hours ago
Cyberglow uses this platform to compensate his mental illnesses ( he stated that often here). His "advices" are for sesam street oskar trash can"
Obviously this just proves they don't know me, because I am awesome! :)

A 100% legal, non copybotted , creator made mesh head. Boxed as an avatar base...shape, skin, eyes, head, courtesy Ruth RC3 made BOM. The skins I used a template for in part, according to the creator's license it cannot be transfer-sorry about that. You can of course use any skin or shape you want. Responds to bento animations such as smiling and blinking. No mesh eyes or AO included.
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Mythos/487/170/27
These heads I made from 2019 to 2021- I put a couple up an SL. They were intended as a low ARC, "Wear and go" solution without huds and scripts. I made them first for my partner who just HATES most huds. I sold them for about 400L each. People liked them but I got a lot of bizarre comments like "yeah it's really beautiful and good but I have to stay loyal to Catwa even though I like them a lot"... since opensim people seem more capable of not letting brand loyalty totally dictate their interests, they are better fitted here.

Don't sell, don't tell people you made the mesh, don't put it on SL . Please don't god mod the skin, I legitimately cannot give it transfer, if you need it for your alts bring them all in or message me and I'll just give it to you.

Welcome to the Opensim Public Library - Homelandz branch! Pop in from time to time to get actual, readable, full books, for free! Turning pages, rez or wear as HUD! Full perm so feel free to play mad scientist, create your own books, etc!

Note: The script is incredibly basic for version 1. You can "add" and it attaches to center of your screen. Enlarge/resize as need be, for larger print, easier to read.
Any kind souls from the community willing to improve and/or expand the script, more than welcome to send revisions and we will update all items as we go. Ideas of improvements include: -backward turning of pages (mistakes happen), skip to specific page number, bookmark a page to save progress, and, most importantly, converting the script to read pictures 2 at a time, from the inventory, rather than the UUID, which wants to read 2 pages images (image with 2 full pages per picture). Doing so would reduce time to make a book from days/hours, to minutes/seconds...by skipping the step of screen shotting 2 page per image, and also skipping step of programming uuid into script. (unless anyone knows of a pdf converter that will save single page images into 2 pages per 1 image?)

***Sorry, won't be offering support nor taking requests...this release took not just hours but days based upon the way this primitive script works.

New at Moana City: Skintight BoM clothing: lingerie, tops, pants, body oil layers, latex catsuits, underwear and so much more. Ideal to combine with mesh clothing (guaranteed no clipping) and.. fits any BoM enabled body! (so really guys, you no longer have an excuse to not come to that Rocky Horror Picture Show party because you have "nothing to wear) ;)

Good News! The Amazing Device works! I've put a final revision of the script on this site under the scripts forum at the top of the page. If you can't see it use this link: https://opensimworld.com/library?viewcode=196&raw=1&sid=14...

DEAR PEOPLE WITH BROKEN OARS AND IARS. Take them to grid.wolfterritories.org and ask Lone Wolf to help you. He has made a system that can REPAIR your iar and oar by seeking the same UUID object from other grids databases and inject the fixed one into your IAR or OAR. This means that in most cases you get ALL OF YOUR INVENTORY AND OAR BACK. Wolf territories also stores their assets in an object format like instagram and youtube do that serve millions customers worldwide. They have for example 30 robust servers running all the time with load balancing, which means no more lost assets. I hope this helps you all. ** Note, I may be mistaken that it is off of the UUID - as I am not privy to the tech Lone invented. That was just my first guess. Saccw pointed out that uuid's are assigned randomly to new items and he/she is correct. So it seems I made an assumption without thinking about it much. Apologies. I should further clarify that Lone is not attempting to capitalize off of osgrid's misfortune. I posted this post without his knowledge and then told him about the post I made. See so many people are asking Lone to recover their iar's and oar's that it's a lot of work for him to sit there and personally upload the file, and use his tech to fix it, and then give it back to the person. Lone's grid is a land rental grid, and the whole process is much easier if the oar and iar are already on the system, think bandwidth and server cost, not to mention personal time.

!!!Gridnews!!!
Auf uns kommt da was zu, der Gridserver hat sich zwecks Festplattenüberprüfung gemeldet, befürchte einen Knacks. Das heißt Umzug auf neuen Server und Downtime. Mein Gedanke geht darin, die 2 auf einen doppelt so großen modernen Server zusammenzulegen.
Ich sage es euch ehrlich, da kommt was auf uns zu, bzw auf mich. Ist eine ziemliche Menge an Daten
Stress, da ich lieber nicht allzu lange warten will und für einen Monat höhere Kosten, wegen doppelter Miete, später dafür günstiger.
Ich schreibe auch alle anderen persönlich an, die es betrifft.
Neues Maschinchen ist spätestens morgen da.
Dann geht es folgendermaßen los:
1. Betriebsystemupdates
2. Umzug aller Regionen vorerst ankoppeln an den "alten Server"
3. Runterfahren der alten Server und Kopieren und aktivieren der rübergschaufelten Griddatenbank. Wegen der Größe kann das eine 3-4 tägige Downtime bedeuten, wahrscheinlich aber erheblich schneller.
4. Domainumzug und einrichten des Webinterfaces.
5. Hochfahren mit Gridservices und Regionen, Abschluss der Arbeiten.

!!!Grid News!!!
Something is coming our way, the grid server has reported to check the hard drive, I fear a crack. That means moving to a new server and downtime. My idea is to merge the 2 into a modern server twice the size.
I'll tell you honestly, something is coming our way, or me. Is quite a lot of data
Stress, because I prefer not to wait too long and higher costs for one month because of double the rent, later cheaper.
I am also writing to everyone else personally who is affected.
New machine will be there by tomorrow at the latest.
Then it starts like this:
1. Operating system updates
2. Relocation of all regions initially connect to the "old server"
3. Shutting down the old servers and copying and activating the migrated grid database. Because of the size, this can mean a 3-4 day downtime, but probably much faster.
4. Domain transfer and setting up the web interface.
5. Start up with gridservices and regions, work done.

well i am now facing the wrath of Priscilla.Kleenex login.twistedgrid.xyz:8002 , that's the latest avatar. I dont know what her plans are but she was at my Woodstock and university today.

it looks like she is just copying items, not sure what she was doing in university, I was afk and cant see server end as that's in another grid.

update: also what is with these profiles that comment on some ones post and then u click thee name and says user not found?

fyi i dont mind people taking free stuff, but this post was to say she isn't doing her usual behavior for a griefer.

Tired of people coming to ur SIM/region/parcel just for copying stuffs? After u had a loot of work on doing it and all u see is.... avatars with arm stretched copying from A to Z? So the "COPY MY ASS" 3D sign is perfect for u.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Enjoy :)

Hi there Kleenex (Waves). I'm so sorry that Google maps can only zoom in so far. But I can see you wheepin', so I'm giving you a wave. Are you sure you want to continue on that road?

Edit:
As kindly pointed out by @misty_falls: No names mentioned here, no IP, no MAC, just an image of a neighborhood that would be familiar only to trolls.

Pay attention because there will be a quiz. There are five tree houses in Tree House Park. Five! Come visit Tree House Park where we have, count them, five tree houses. Spoiler Alert: The park has a Tree House Car Bar and a Bird House Tree House. How cool is that? OK, here's the quiz. How many tree houses are here in Tree House Park?

SURVEY ON NEW LOCATION
Hi Starchild Shoppers! Some of you have recently given me feedback in terms of the scattered of the stores - which I was thinking about already.
Question is:
If I were to combine all stores in one region - which LAYOUT would work best for you?
A big mall on ground like @hertha201 's SilverFox Mall? Several TP-connected levels like R. Lion or @Pilar 's Tierra de Volcanes? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!

**Dali Babe LEGACY Megapack out now!**

At the present time, Amoa Nude Beach is experiencing technical difficulties. I cannot say how long this will take to repair, but I apologize for this asset issue happening a second time in 2 weeks.

It is apparently being caused by Dreamgrid software that I, nor the grid owners have control over, which causes a failure of assets.

So we have missing textures, failing scripts, body in-completions among the most notable. I will have to redo alot of it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

*OPENSIM FIREWORKS V7 (VERSION 7) UPDATED RELEASE (less complexity than the previous version and effects now look more real - All you see on that picture is mesh! With sounds and animation! Available for FULLPERM and FREE at PARTY SECTOR inside a box for fireworks. Enjoy :)

P.s Version with particles available as well, if needed.

Anyone who enters the University as a child avi will now be banned. Never thought I would have to do this but had a child avi come in twice and also told me how pretty I was as if they were trying to get with me. if it wasn't for that last part I would just nicely ask them to change to adult or leave.

The benefits of a wearable animesh horse:

I really hate to have to do this but, I want to make it clear that my region is NOT a shopping region. Most of what is on it are builds that I have made myself though there are items that I have gotten from around Open Sim in the freebie stores. That said, let's be perfectly clear - there are malls for you to go shopping for freebies if you want, my "Home" is not a freebie shopping mall, it is a residence you are free to visit and enjoy, but after today's experience I have made everything I can "no copy". When someone visits my region and I am there and greet them and talk to them and they do not respond at all even though I send them the same greeting in their native language that is just TOTALLY RUDE. Then walk around just grabbing all the "copiable" items you can find, well I become a whole lot less accommodating and make everything no copy and it will remain so. I'm usually a very friendly person, and I love to meet new people and chat and visit and will continued to be so, however if you wish anything from my region, from now on, show some common courtesy and ASK. Thank you.

Not So Naughty store is back!
A store specialized in quality adult content.

For now it only contains old items made on Sacrarium grid, hence the store setup which looks quite empty. Follow the Old stuff signs to find them.
But I wish I have time to build new stuff, so stay tuned by joining the group.

Don't hesitate to click on the hostess to get a quick history of this store.
