1x1 region reliable $10USD/month or less.

Hi all, I was discussing OS with a friend from SL the other day and she had been trying to research online for a region to purchase/rent in OS but found the lack of information on websites a hindrance in her quest. So I thought I would ask here...
the criteria are a 1 x 1 region (adult land preferably), prims can be 10k-40k.It is not a huge issue. She wants to pay a maximum of $10USD per month and she would like to be able to sign up, register, pay via a website initially. Do any of you have recommendations from experience? Please suggest away.
Oh and one technical question. Do people need to have an account with the grid they are renting from. She saw one potential grid host that offered land on their grid and/or osgrid.
I await your responses.
Thanks in advance

Looking for texturing help on a set of 3d models from Sketchfab. They convert and import perfectly and it looks like a great set. But I cannot get the textures to go on them in any kind of proper looking way. It's the first entry FNAF Plushies by a creator named AdamNeverStopsGaming. I love FNAF and I'd love to make this set work in the OpenSim: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/fnaf-plushies-ca1fa67a4605...

What am I looking for? Information about how friending works in Open Sim, and what techniques some of you use.
I am new to OS, but not to virtual life. I have noticed that if I friend someone who is a member of the same grid as me, they will remain in my friends list. If I friend someone who is a member of a different grid, it is likely they do not appear in my friends list.
So how do you get around this?
Do you have a workaround? I am assuming they must have evolved over time.
Or am I missing something simple?
Maybe people just friend those from their own grid? lol

Anyhow... all information, advice and thoughts on this subject most welcome.
And for the record... I do consult with my favourite Chatbots before asking questions in here, but whilst they were aware of the difficulties, they could not find satisfactory resolutions in the various forums etc that they searched.
Have a great day/ night.

Hi everybody, seems our discord channel is death? After we got empty inventories in OsGrid I am searching for Ballet-Shoes. I remember it was hard to find them long time ago. Any hint is welcome - Thank you very much

BODIES, SKINS, AVATARS and CLOTHING
Hi, just joined a few days ago, refugee from SL. Whilst I have found some amazing places so far, I am looking for shopping recommendations for the best bodies, heads and skins and clothing. My preference is to get complete all in one packages and I have found these at a number of places but looking for more ideas. I have been to shoppingdance and other more visible and findable places. All suggestions welcome...

Hello everyone .. I am looking for a set of sheer curtains that retract to each side. Thank you guys. I got one from Oni over a year ago that had a box of them with toppers and stuff... but lost with OS reset

Hey Friends!!
I hope someone can point me in the right direction. My elephant rezzer rider pulled a missing asset on me, so I am looking for a new one. I had two versions, but either will do. One of them, the rezzer was an elephant, and the other, the rezzer was a sphere you hop on and the elephant rezzes under you from the sphere. Both are NPCS and you can ride them all over the place. It is the best! They are also one of my favorite animals, so I hope we can find one for me. Thank you!!!

OK, I really am a doofus. The problem: I own a TON of .dae files I purchased in SL, and a whole bunch of them have permissions to share them on other grids, as well. So, I've been trying to upload them to Opensim. In Firestorm, I go to "build", then "upload", then "mesh model" and I select the file from mij harddisk. "Open", set LOD to "low" and pick "calculate weights and fees". There is... a really long time that goes by, like 15 minutes or half an hour even. And then, a popup: "(item name) failed to upload: missing physics_convex block". What am I doing wrong?

HI. I'm looking for someone who can test access to my grid/regions. I was recently made aware that they were inaccessible. I believe I have corrected the issue but need someone to help me confirm.

Sandbox: grid.sixsides.net:8002:CoyKoi

***FIXED**
No further testing needed. Thanks for your help, Chelsea!

The Verdict About Group Chat In The What Are You Looking For Group
All: Please post your requests in the group, not in chat. Then, if you like, notify people via chat that there is a new post, and include the URL for it. That should drive more traffic to the post requests, which seems to have been lacking

Helpers: Please reply to the post in the group, freeing the chat from information that, like the front page box, will disappear in a short time.

This will preserve the purpose and usefulness of the group while helping people know that there are new post to check out.

Background: Some people say that making a request for help via chat gets a faster response. That's the result of people not visiting the group often enough to see if there are any new posts. A post and a chat notice of same will get more attention for the posts and help keep the group alive and lively, and also alive. (Did I mention alive? I guess I did).

Hi Beautiful Finding things People :),
Does anyone know if this is around Opensim, a group choreography dance machine like this one or similar Spot One https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Spot-On-Choreography-... Thank you :)

Yikes! When did the chat box here replace posting? Doing so makes this group no better than looking for stuff via the front page box.

What posting does that chat can not.
1. It provides a way to post and reply in a threaded conversation. That way, we can more easily see what someone is looking for, the help that has been provided, and the help that is still needed.
2. We have a small core group of helpers. I'd like to keep them around, and add to the number. Posts make it easier to see who has helped and to create a post that acknowledges the helpers. In turn, the acknowledgement post helps the helpers by promoting their regions and/or interests.
3. A post can have a picture of what you want or otherwise bring attention to your post.

Someone said chatting is fast and more reliable. I'm not sure how. Once I know why chatting has come to be preferred, I can see what we can do to bring those features to posting.

What do you think?

Hello, all!

I have been hunting for some animations, particularly adult ones of the solo male variety. 😅 I don't want this request to be too obscene for the group, so if further clarification is needed or you wish to reach out to me directly as opposed to posting a reply, I completely understand.

Thank you for your time!
