Hallo ihr Lieben,
das Jahr ist fast zu Ende. Und wieder haben wir die Hälfte aller Vorsätze vom letzten Silvester nicht eingehalten. Ein guter Vorsatz wäre, dass wird das Ende des Jahres ordentlich feiern. Daher steigt im Soul-Grid eine Silvesterparty. Um 20 Uhr geht es los .
Wir freuen uns auf euch

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.

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.

AnatoBotanica is the name of the current sculpture collection I am doing IRL under MVN name, my initials.


Inspired by the connection (and the lack of connection) of human being in its environment, the nature.
Made of organic shapes, hybrid creatures comes to life with the use of moss and a lot of gold paint on PLA which is a bioplastic, sometimes clay and paper are added for the finest parts.

To introduce this new art form I am experiencing in opensim, I chose to show a glitched version of the real space I work from, my home.

My home is my shelter, but also my workshop.
The stones of the walls, the plants and animals living in the garden, are themselves an inspiration. Observing birds, bees and butterfly, listening to their songs, watching these creatures feeding from flowers, those simple « little things of life » are deeply touching my soul and question my own place in this world.

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

Rest in peace, Gertie!

Allow me to introduce the forum troll

The forum troll deliberately tries to cause conflict by posting provocative or derogatory comments. Their goal is to annoy others and/or provoke angry counter-comments.

How do you get rid of a forum troll?

- Report the troll to the forum operator

Only a forum administrator can ensure that an account can no longer post anything on their forum. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to permanently keep them off a website through administrative measures. The forum troll is skilled at hiding behind one or more pseudonyms. Persistent trolls protect their true identities by concealing their IP address or using a proxy server.

Forum trolls thrive on any kind of attention they receive. Whether it's polite requests, threats of consequences, or counter-insults, any reaction from another person serves as fuel for the troll and encourages them to continue their disrespectful behavior.

What should you do if the troll cannot be permanently banned by the forum operator? The most important measure is:

“Don't feed the troll!”

Since every response, every comment, and every mention of their name is food for the troll (and permanent banning by website operators is difficult), the only way to get rid of the troll is to “starve” them, i.e.:

- Ignore the troll.
No matter how provocative and offensive they may become, show them NO REACTION. Remain silent! No matter how difficult it may be when you are personally attacked verbally, the troll MUST have a reaction in order to continue. Persistent trolls are like junkies going through withdrawal: at first, they will become even louder and more offensive in order to provoke a reaction.

- Mute the troll.
Constant, recurring insults are stressful for any normal person, even if you don't respond to them. Most forums offer a “block” function so that certain people can no longer contact you. Use this option and block the troll. Unfortunately, with persistent trolls who change accounts, you have to repeat this process over and over again, but eventually... eventually, your silence will wear the troll down to the point where they give up and look for another place to vent.

- Together we are strongest!
It is nerve-wracking to be repeatedly targeted by a troll. Many trolls are highly manipulative. They like to portray themselves publicly as victims and/or try to get other members to take their side. That is why it is important for the entire forum community to stand united against the troll by collectively ignoring this person.

Always remember: every single word, every mention of their name, every reaction is the fuel that keeps the forum troll alive. If just one person throws the troll a piece of bait in the form of a reaction, they immediately draw energy from it to continue...

There are so many better things you can do in your free time than waste precious time on trolls. So do what makes you happy and have fun instead of letting bored people bring anger and sadness into your life!!!

p.s.: Comments for this post are not useful. Why? Some of you will find this post helpful, others will probably find it stupid. But as already mentioned: every comment pleases and feeds the troll – and I personally would rather starve the troll than allow it to have fun at my expense...

Gestatten, der Forentroll

Der Forentroll versucht absichtlich durch Beleidigungen Konflikte zu verursachen, indem er provokative oder abfällige Kommentare veröffentlicht. Sein Ziel ist es, andere zu verärgern und/oder wütende Gegenkommentare zu provozieren.

Wie wird man einen Forentroll wieder los?

Meldet den Troll beim Forenbetreiber

Nur ein Forenadmin kann dafür sorgen, dass ein Account nichts mehr in dessen Forum schreiben kann. Es ist leider ziemlich schwer ihn durch administrative Maßnahmen dauerhaft von einer Webseite fernzuhalten. Der Forentroll versteht es geschickt, sich hinter einem oder mehreren Pseudonymen zu verstecken. Hartnäckige Trolle schützen ihre wahren Identitäten durch Verschleiern ihrer IP-Adresse oder durch Nutzen eines Proxyservers.

Der Forentroll lebt von jeder Art der Aufmerksamkeit, die man ihm gibt. Egal ob höfliches Bitten, Androhung von Konsequenzen oder Gegenbeleidigungen - jegliche Reaktion einer anderen Person dient dem Troll als Nahrung und bestärkt ihn darin, mit seinem respektlosen Treiben weiterzumachen.

Was tun, wenn sich der Troll vom Forenbetreiber nicht auf dauerhaft fernhalten lässt? Die wichtigste Regel lautet:


"Füttere nicht den Troll!"

Da jede Antwort, jeder Kommentar und jede Erwähnung seines Namens Futter für den Troll bedeuten (und dauerhaftes Bannen durch Webseitenbetreiber nur schwer möglich ist), kann man den Troll tatsächlich nur loswerden, indem man ihn "aushungert", das heißt:

- Ignoriert den Troll
Egal wie provokativ und beleidigend er auch werden mag, zeigt ihm KEINE REAKTION. Schweigt euch aus! Egal wie schwer es auch ist, wenn man persönlich verbal angegriffen wird- der Troll MUSS eine Reaktion haben, um sein weitermachen zu können. Hartnäckige Trolle sind wie Junkies auf Entzug: sie werden zunächst noch lauter und beleidigender werden, um doch noch eine Reaktion zu provozieren.

- Schaltet den Troll stumm
Jeden normalen Menschen belasten ständige widerkehrende Beschimpfungen, auch wenn man nicht darauf eingeht. Die meisten Foren bieten eine "Blockierfunktion" an, so dass einen bestimmte Personen nicht mehr kontaktieren können. Nutzt diese Möglichkeit und blockiert den Troll. Bei hartnäckigen Trollen mit wechselnden Accounts muss man das leider immer neu wiederholen, aber irgendwann ... irgendwann habt ihr den Troll durch euer Schweigen soweit, dass er aufgibt und sich einen anderen Ort zum Austoben sucht.

- Gemeinsam sind wir am stärksten!
Es ist nervenaufreibend immer wieder Opfer eines Trolls zu sein. Viele Trolle sind stark manipulativ. Sie stellen sich gern selbst öffentlich als Opfer dar und/oder versuchen andere Mitglieder auf ihre Seite zu ziehen. Deswegen ist es wichtig, dass sich möglichst die ganze Forengemeinschaft geschlossen gegen den Troll stellt: durch gemeinschaftliches Ignorieren dieser Person.

Denkt immer daran: jedes einzelne Wort, jede Erwähnung seines Namens, jede Reaktion ist die Nahrung, die den Forentroll am Leben hält. Wirft nur eine einzige Person dem Troll ein Stückchen Futter in Form einer Reaktion zu, zieht er daraus sofort Energie um weiterzumachen.....

Es gibt soviel Schöneres, was ihr in eurer Freizeit tun könnt, als wertvolle Lebenszeit an den Troll zu verschwenden. Also macht das, was euch Freude macht, und habt Spaß anstatt Wut und Traurigkeit von einem gelangweilten Menschen in euer Leben bringen zu lassen!!!

p.s.: Die Kommentare für diesen Beitrag sind nicht nützlich. Warum? Manche von euch werden diesen Beitrag hilfreich finden, andere finden ihn vermutlich blöd. Aber wie schon erwähnt: jeder Kommentar erfreut und ernährt den Troll - und ich persönlich möchte den Troll lieber aushungern, anstatt zuzulassen, dass er sich auf meine Kosten einen Spaß macht...

The entire team at CCC, Sunlight Regions, The Cube, and Dope Club wishes everyone a happy new year 2026. We thank you for the amazing support and the wonderful times we've shared with you all, and we hope to spend another year with you in 2026!

After all the darkness I need light,warmth,romantic, hot cocoa, cookies, egg nogg and a lot more again..I agree with Mariah Carey. The earlier- the better and it gives time to create a beautifully Christmassy Sim. The teleport /access to all three winter btw.Christmas Sims (Genesis, Xanten, and Atmos) is now open. Please use the teleporter at the landing point or mark the places itself after tp. New items on every sim

Opensim is so much more than the hatey-whiney folk who so often try to dominate the front page of this site with their pointless drama, and then (which is really low rent) blame their health when they get called on it.
If you're an emotional adult, you may find the following news from around Opensim interesting. We are at the halfway point of this HG Safari season, here are a few recent posts you may have missed.
