The 'Ode to YAY' / Eternal YAY Park @ Mech Lab.

The Ode to YAY Park serves as a testament to the delicate balance between man and machine... dating back as far as the year 2003 when the first "~*~*~Yay!~*~*~" echoed through the metaverse.

Saw some posts about Problems / missing mesh attachements in OS-GRID:
I also have this problems in the new OS grid, both with the older and the latest Firestorm Viewer. For example, if you crash while teleporting or a bug error or other crashes occur, the mesh body, mesh head and other mesh attachments are missing / lost at a relog. I get me newest Mesh body and Head, this not helps is missing too.
From the entire folder where them stored inside you are not able wear them, them inactive. The only thing that works is to delete the Firestorm cache and all cache in the AppData\Local\FirestormOS_x64\ folder. Then relog in, and everything's fine again. The next time Firestorm crashes; you'll have to start over and delete everything again.
Reported this error already to Paela and Dan, them working at.

How Much Do You Spend In and/or On OS?
It's oft said that, in OS, everything should be free, or words to that effect. But be honest. How "free" is this free. What costs, directly or indirectly, do you incur in or on OS? For example:

Hosting a grid.
Region rental.
Stream rental.
Kitely purchases.
Gold coins.

OS is more free, in many ways, than SL. But it is not necessarily totally free. What do you figure you spend in and on OS?

Wales is the smallest nation in mainland UK, but it is home, it’s said, to some of the largest, and best-known festivals in the world. The annual Welsh Fish Dancing Festival is not one of them. I was asked to post about it, by some prankster it seems.

Did they mean the Folk (not Fish) Dancing Festival, because there is one. I can post about the World Bog Snorkelling Championships or the National Welsh Rarebit Day, because these events actually happen. There is the The Cardigan River and Food Festival in Wales, which features seafood, but not fish dancing. After an extensive search, I find no mention of a Welsh Fish Dancing Festival on the web.

I did discover a site about the Wels fish (pictured above). I think there is a very good reason there is no annual Wels fish dancing festival. I did find a fish dancing video, but I can’t tell if the dancer is Welsh, Have a look and tell me what you think.
