My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.

# 🎉 FIRST RELEASE PARTY 🎶

Every song is based on lyrics, stories, and thoughts I've written throughout my life. Some are deeply personal, while others explore emotions and experiences we all share.

Expect an energetic mix of **Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Punk Rock, Funk Rock, Pop, House**, and even a touch of **Bavarian spirit**.

Come and enjoy the music, discover the stories behind the songs, and celebrate this special moment with me. If you like what you hear, I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel and share your thoughts—I look forward to hearing from you!

**Let's celebrate the beginning of this musical journey together!** 🎸✨

🎉 New Free Plugin for OpenSimulator Grids — OpenSimulator Royal Flush™
Fellow grid operators — if you're running a WordPress-based OpenSimulator grid with w4os, you know the pain. Bot registrations, abandoned accounts, thousands of users with no avatar cluttering your database. We felt it too on NeverWorld Grid — over 340 no-avatar accounts when we started!
So we built something about it. Meet OpenSimulator Royal Flush™ 👑🚽
✅ Automatically emails no-avatar accounts at Day 30 and Day 59
✅ Flags them for admin review at Day 60
✅ Bot farm domain detector
✅ Safe bulk deletion — YOU decide who gets flushed, nothing auto-deletes
✅ Any account with an avatar is completely untouchable
✅ Free and open source — GPL3
We flushed 68 bot accounts on our first run in about 5 minutes!

How sad has it become if a closed grid starts making avatars on other (our) grids, and contact renters on our grid to come there.
You really have to make it like that?

Unfortunately renters of our grid were contacted and were promised free land if they would join.
sure, free land is nice but if you have a pay system and the coins are expensive ...lol
who is framing who .....
My renters are smart enough not to fall for it, and everybody is free to give free land
But i would never try to get renters like this....so please grow up and get a life.

sorry had to share this.
hugs

There's a bowling alley you can get from somewhere on OS, it's wrecks your server without much showing up in the logs and no spike in CPU. it's hard to identify. what you looks for in 65 prim bowling_pins that are physical and stacking up at 0,0,0 on the region where the alley is rezzed. if you notice your av movement jittery and laggy on _any_ region - check it out. pretty much only way is to look in your database. they won't show up in area search and trying to get to 0,0,0 on the region is not fun.

65 prims
bowling_pin 0.000, 0.000, 0.000

really the bowling alley needs fixed, it should only set the pins physical when the ball is close and stay physical for only 10 secs or so... the way it is now they are always physical and somehow the rezzer keeps spitting them out and they end up at 0,0,0 hehe.

(mysql) find the evil bowling pins:

SELECT p.UUID, p.Name, p.Description, p.PositionX, p.PositionY, p.PositionZ, pi.Name AS item_name, pi.InvType, pi.AssetID FROM prims p LEFT JOIN primitems pi ON pi.PrimID = p.UUID WHERE p.Name LIKE '%bowl%' OR pi.Name LIKE '%bowl%' ORDER BY p.Name, pi.Name;

then delete bowling_pins and the bowling balls too. you have to hurry and restart the region before it saves the state back to disk (after deleting)

hopefully this helps someone!

Some PRIDE for my AMERICAN FRIENDS.

THE FLACK I WILL GET FOR THIS IS WORTH IT!

I'M A VETERAN. I'M GAY. THERE WAS A TIME I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT.
I KEPT IT SECRET AND I SERVED ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

I BEAR THE FLAG OF THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE ME THE FREEDOM TO BE ME
AND TO SPEAK OPENLY AND FREELY AS I CHOOSE. THAT IS THE PRIDE I CARRY.

THIS KIND OF PRIDE GOES BEYOND POLITICS

IN GOD WE TRUST: STAMPED ON OUR CURRENCY AS A REMINDER AND A WARNING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA 250

VOTE IN THE MID-TERMS IF YOU DO NOT LIKE HOW THINGS ARE.

If you cannot be proud of where you come from, perhaps it is time to take a closer look at yourself and ask:
'What did you do to make it better for everyone'?

Rawr... somebody slap me! SL23B is a heck of a drug! I NEED to be in Open Sim more often!!! :P So much going on, and I'm blatantly ignoring you all. Not good.

Jerralyn has been a bad lady... help her please lolol... (End PSA)

I've noticed the beacons seem to go offline a lot more lately. I have the latest version.

I can reboot them and then they're back online with no issue. But I've never had to do so many reboots as I have in the last few months.

Just wanted to report it in case I'm not the only one.

Every week it seems we gather to say goodbye to another member of our OpenSim family. We mourn, we remember, and we honor those who helped shape our community.

But every farewell is also a reminder of something we all share: none of us gets out of life alive.

For many, OpenSim is an extension of real life. For others, it is a place to step away from life's worries for a while—to imagine, create, explore impossible worlds, and become someone or something extraordinary.

One of the greatest gifts our departed friends leave behind isn't just our memories of them. It's the regions they built, the scripts they wrote, the avatars they designed, the artwork they shared, the friendships they fostered, and the countless moments they made possible. Every time we visit one of their creations or use something they contributed, a little part of them is still with us.

Imagine if they had never created anything at all. We wouldn't have those places to explore, those ideas to build upon, or those memories to cherish. Their creativity became part of the world we continue to enjoy.

Perhaps the greatest way to honor those we've lost isn't only through memorial posts, but by making the most of the time we still have.

Build that region you've been dreaming about. Finish that avatar. Learn Blender. Write the story. Host the event. Share your imagination. Visit someone's creation. Make a new friend.

Don't spend all your time debating what OpenSim should be or dwelling on what might have been. Spend it creating what it can become.

Our friends who have passed leave us with more than memories—they leave us with a reminder that time is precious. None of us knows how many tomorrows we have.

So create. Explore. Laugh. Inspire. Contribute. Leave something behind that will make someone smile years from now.

Because one day, someone may be walking through a region you built, wearing something you designed, using a script you wrote, or remembering a kindness you showed—and they'll be grateful that you chose to create while you had the chance.

I have updated(up-cycled) the bonfire to align with the sun and moon positions for systems with a day–night cycle. During daylight, the flames will extinguish, and at night the fire will reignite with a dynamic flickering light effect, and it is available in my shop.

Recommended accessories include campfire Sounds (featuring immersive pops and crackles) and a smoke effect, which can be added using a smoke particle emitter placed beneath the bonfire for enhanced atmosphere.

Today DJ Ting brings you a Special Morning Breakfast show, Celebrating Canada Day, Starting at 6am, bringing you 2 hours of fun as we celebrate Canada day, and show our sense of community spirit, all are welcome to come along and celebrate the festivities!

I'm happy to share another wonderful review from NewLifeItaly Grid, where I host my weekly Monday show from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Grid Time. I'm simply too proud not to share it with you all! 🤘🎶

Dear friends,

Last Monday evening, we once again had the pleasure of welcoming an outstanding DJ who, with her remarkable talent, infectious energy, and genuine passion for music, treated us to two spectacular hours of pure Rock Noise.

DJ Yana Dakota captured the audience from the very first notes, creating an atmosphere that was both powerful and engaging. Every song became a journey filled with rhythm, emotion, and adrenaline, inspiring everyone to dance, enjoy themselves, and share in the excitement. Her professionalism, combined with her ability to connect with the crowd and transmit her enthusiasm, made the evening truly unforgettable.

Our nightclub, the most futuristic venue in the Welcome Area, provided the perfect setting for this extraordinary event. Its stunning light shows, spectacular visual effects, and unique design blended seamlessly with the music, creating an experience filled with energy, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

A heartfelt thank you goes to DJ Yana Dakota for her continued support of NewLifeItaly. She is always willing to be part of our events, bringing not only her talent but also her enthusiasm, kindness, and sincere desire to share her love of music with everyone. Her presence is always a guarantee of quality, entertainment, and an exceptional show.

Special thanks also go to Luna Nera, whose talent behind the camera captures the most beautiful emotions of every event. Through her photographs, every smile, every dance, and every special moment is preserved as a lasting memory, making each event even more meaningful and unforgettable.

Finally, our greatest thanks go to all of you who continue to support us with your friendship, enthusiasm, and wonderful spirit of togetherness. Your presence, warmth, and energy are the true heart of NewLifeItaly and the inspiration that encourages us to continue creating even more memorable events.

We look forward to welcoming you again at our next event, where together we will share new emotions, great music, and many more unforgettable moments.

since .net8 and .net9 are end of life in november we are going to update our servers to .net10 and make a few major changes to the code. first off we will remove the ini based configuration system and introduce two new servers, an estate service and a region registry. an isolated opensim server will run the regions for an estate. this will also give a better interface for self-hosters who want to own their data.we are still in planning stages and comments/suggestion appreciated thanks much. graphic ai generated so i didn't have to spend an hour making it hehe.
