I have rebranded the grid to Three Hills Grid. When we first named the grid we thought to name it after the magazine and since then, I have seen another grid named Virtual Grid, so as to eliminate any confusion I thought it would be best to rename it. I have always thought of Black Hills Gold as Three Hills Gold (the trio color of the gold) so naming it Three Hills Grid seemed right. The virtual-hg.com address is the same, I may also change that in the future. https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php

While the heart and soul of Virtual-HG magazine remain unchanged, this rebranding is a testament to my profound passion for crafting intricate jewelry pieces.

Thank you everyone for your patience during a little work last night. Everything is finished and appears to be very smooth. Please let me know of issues with details as always.

I want to explain what this maintenance was….and why.

I have added a second server to friends-grid. This splits the work load of the server making less chance of lag and issues.

I believe in being proactive and trying to build a strong infrastructure rather than waiting until our servers fail and then dealing with it.

Also, just so you all are aware, we have a system of triple backups in place.

I am doing everything possible to optimize user experience, while protecting our work with backups.

I do not normally share the boring “geek speak “, but realize that Josh and Alex (my tech team) and myself are working hard to improve your user experience.

With that in mind, I have enclosed some pictures below labeled “Help”

Please try these suggestions…..And let’s work together towards making an awesome user experience.

FYI
Avitron appears to be closing for good.

I want to be very cautious with former avitron residents as many are serious copybotters.

My friends in SL wanted me to upload jewelry for them so I went in and tried to load these, they cost 98L for the upload, and when they do upload they are huge! and you cannot reduce them down to fit the avatar, they are thick and ugly! I would first have to make them nano (more work plus the cost of upload) So I came back to OpenSim and uploaded them for FREE, which means I can give them FREE! And they are not thick and big or ugly they loaded just the way I created them. All yours in the Monentes store foyer! virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I love challenges, but my recent review mentioned that my belly button rings are not rigged for Athena. Athena is not a standard avatar shape so when rigging with Avastar it isn't quite right. My belly button rings are meant to attach to the belly for standard shapes. I just added a new Peace sign belly button ring that attaches to the standard avatar belly. I never say never, but this time I am - I don't want to take a ripped rig into blender to please my critics.
