Suite à une panne des serveurs FrancoGrid hébergés chez Scaleway Online , et l'absence de volonté de la part de l’hébergeur de trouver une solution viable, nous sommes en incapacité de remonter la grille.
L'association perdure, et reste en veille.
Les assets sont perdus après 2020, les assets datant d'avant 2020 sont saufs. Notre admin technique réfléchit à une solution pour fournir des .iar aux personnes le souhaitant, pour toute information, veuillez contacter ssm par mail : contact@francogrid.org

I have become aware that there are various grids saying they have or will stop the use of the SatyrFarm system due to issues with the animal scripts in the Quintonia edition. As soon as I was made aware of this issue I released an update (version 5.8 of the animal script) and you can pick up the rezzer/updater for this in Box 1 from the Mintor store. I would strongly recommend people to update their animals to this version as soon as you can so as not to get on the wrong side of your grid owners etc. Thanking you for your help in this.

Question:
Is the AVITRON GRID the Reality World created by Alexsandro Pomposelli aka Alex Ferraris aka AviTron Metaverse aka... a dead end street?
A friend with an Avatar in the AVITRON GRID asks me and send me this screenshots.

A carful of too lazy to work thieves tried to sneak into my home late Christmas night. They found out real quick amputee does not always=helpless. An old grey maned wolf with a missing leg still has fangs... heh. Rebelworld is running, but PC still has issues from the most recent breakin during my last hospitalization. Apologies if you experience any lag, or brain hiccups. Happy New Year ya'll, :) hugs n high 5's

I believe, in my opinion, that "war" is founded on envy of the success of a AVITRON... who took advantage of the greed of a grid (Sacrarium) to attract users to their grid, and on the selfishness of some copiers who claim as their own the creations of SecondLife creators, who are not involved in this fight. If you learned to copy and upload your copies, you have 3 options ... 1) you share it with friends ... 2) you share it with the entire Opensim community ... or 3) You don't share it with anyone, only for your personal use . But copiers claim to receive recognition as "Gods" just for knowing how to use a copybot very well. Sacrarium is a good grid, but...IS PART of Opensim...so...Opensim is beyond than Sacrarium. You want Sacrarium copys ?...make a Avitron account...you dont want Sacrarium copys ?...stay quiet in your grid. Its easy. Just...respect the other users and make your own life.

Ausgrid is down at the moment cause I'm having issues with pc that crash with blue screen saying memory management. I guess it Windows that is corrupted so i might have to reinstall windows. It a pain in the ass. Grid and Regions are safe in other hard drive.
It was working fine and that before bad storms and i saw it coming so i quickly shut down grid & regions then shut down pc and that when next day it gone crazy with blue screen saying memory management, etc you know silly thing. I think i guess it can be corrupted Windows cause i run DVD Linux on it and ran for hours so it have no issues. People that have regions in Ausgrid are missing Ausgrid and so am I missing it.

I'm in the process of getting my region back up and running . . . their are some technical difficulties but I will be back on as soon as I can . . . if not then sooner! I am truly sorry for any inconvenience!

The next selection for the Homelandz Public Library might be the most useful, for some. 489 pages helping anyone from beginner to advanced Blender user to understand the VAST many capabilities of this wonderful and FREE software called blender! May we all improve our Blender skills and help OpenSim to grow to be a more beautiful and amazing place!

Note: Seriously, if you can spare some dough to support the author, PLEASE DO. Especially if you can get the pdf as cheap as me via Amazon ($3usd). Yes, there is a TON of free info out there on Blender, but to get so much in easy to understand, step by step instructions...perhaps decide if it's within your budget to show the author some support! :D

Hello dear community. we are looking for a beard that looks like the one from Leonardo da Vinci... example: https://tinyurl.com/mr494msc any ideas where you could find such a long and soft beard like this?

Hello, a few days back I was sent a message asking to have a copy of the Dinkie Dance floor. I did not save the message, and I lost the name of who asked, so I am posting here. In Dallas is a square and says Dinkies; you will find the dance floor there, and I believe there are 8 different Dinkies.

Please be safe today and always kind to one another. Happy 4th

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

You can find the original Celia avatar here: hop://agartha.ovh:8002/Agartha/218/57/1514
You can find Lunaria Emporium here: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Ignorance is Bliss ....part 2

Perhaps OSW should require an IQ of at least 10 before allowing individuals to post comments or reviews.

note - if you try to visit a place and get a "region not found" error, talk to the owner...or try clearing cache and re logging. Don't leave a 1 star review on a place you have never seen.

Zephner, I envy everyone you have never met.

Ruth 2.0 fans, it's back! Remmy Ravenhurst's Make-Do and Mend store for Ruth and Roth is coming back, and here is a brand new release, with a lovely fairy in 5 colors...pick your favorite or take them all, free! Includes dress, wings, tat, particles effect, even your own mushroom scene to sit on anywhere! (Even fairies need a rest from time to time, right?!!?) Come grab a copy, and stay tuned for further releases!

Some may have noticed that Uzuri (formerly Uzuri Virtual) is back. We got in a bit of
a mess with the code and such last year, but hopefully it is done now. New Linux server and new names - Uzuri Prime and Uzuri Common. We're back 24/7 seven days a week.

Why "Uzuri"? you may ask. Well, the word "Uzuri" means niceness, goodness or beauty in Swahili. No, I'm not a Swahili speaker but I thought is described what I want from opensim, so there it is.
Please note, though, that if it doesn't look the same as before, that's becaue I had to use older oar files to load the sims in because of corruption of the other ones. Some stuff is missing and some stuff that was removed is back. Telle est la vie!

We'll get by.

I have removed the Athena stores from Uzuri Prime because the stuff in them was old and were not enhancing the sim in any way - you can find that stuff everywhere.

Uzuri Common is Open Source/ Authorised only. It is "old school", mainly built from scratch in the viewer. It has a bit of Ruth/Roth 2 stuff and lots of Selea Core.

*Takes a deep breath* It's good to be back!

Question about opensim

Is it just me or is others not getting notifications when someone messages them? I dont always jump on osw everyday but lately when i have i look into my messages seeing messages from like 6 days to a month ago. Anyway to fix this, i have checked my settings and all boxes are not checked?

Also

I don't normally post anything politically divisive - and this is not posted to do that although in the current climate some people will choose to leap before looking.
Rather I'm posting this because I'm in awe of the person who made this.
Remember that the right to peaceful protest is something many people don't get the chance of doing.
Let's try and not lose any more chances for creativity in a good cause.
Sing along if you like :)

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

Jupiter Rowland was wondering in an earlier post why The Virtual Museum had not heard about Opensim. This chart from 2022 from Metaversed Consulting is a reminder of just where Opensimulator places in the metaverse, and is very likely why the Virtual Museum hasn't heard of us. We're one of the tiny dots under Older Users. By 2024, Opensimulator didn't even register on this chart at all. Personally, I love Opensim and plan to be here as long as it's running, whether or not we are recognized by the rest of the virtual world.
