How to Find Interesting Places In OS.
My first post on the front page, https://opensimworld.com/post/124641?msgSuccess=Posted, was about the OSW forums. My aim was to get people familiar with the forums and do a follow-up post advocating for the use of the General forum as a tool to (guess what) clean up the front page Box. That post will be happening soon. But one comment to the last post was that they would like to use OWS to find cool builds and things people make. So, here we go. I hope this is of use to other folks as well.

Region Reviews And Likes.
Among the event announcements and such, there are a few posts about new builds and new stuff. But one of the best places on OWS to find the best places in OS is the region reviews. New reviews are found on the bottom right of the front page, and all of a regions reviews are found on a region's own page, again at bottom left. Just bellow it, you will also see the number of "likes." Click on that to see who it was that left a like. Do you like them? Then you might like what they like. Like, this is not confusing yet, right? Also, you can find new "Likes" on the bottom left of the OSW front page.

"What Are You Looking For?"
You could ask in this group about where you can find the best builds. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060.

Hypergrid Safari.
The best way to find interesting builds and stuff is to take part in the hypergrid tour group, Hypergrid Safari. You can find information about both future and past tours, going back 3 years, on their group page, https://opensimworld.com/groups/1033. They have weekly trips to meet people and see places in Opensim. As the group founder and tour leader Thirza Ember says, “We party, learn, network, and crash unsuspecting grids.” You might also want to visit the Safari Clubhouse. hg.osgrid.org:80:HG Safari

Cherry Manga, one of the foremost multimedia artists and builder of interesting places and stuff in OS, said in a review, "HG Safari is the best place to learn about hypergrid, and to discover fabulous places to visit." In fact, visit Cherry's page to find a list of her regions and the regions she has liked. You could do your own tour by visiting them. https://opensimworld.com/user/CherryManga.”

As for me, I'd like to find a region to celebrate National Pizza Month. Help anyone?

Rory Gallagher — Ein Leben für die Musik und die Gitarre

William Rory Gallagher wurde am 2. März 1948 geboren, offiziell im Rock Hospital in Ballyshannon, County Donegal. Die frühe Kindheit aber ist ein Wandern zwischen Orten: die Familie zog zunächst nach Derry und später nach Cork, und genau dort formte sich das Umfeld, das seinen musikalischen Weg befeuern sollte....

You can find it right outside the store office.

For this post, I’m breaking my long-standing code to speak only in Morse code. Is anyone aware of the OWS forums? Is anyone reading them? Is anyone making legitimate use of them? I have an idea about how to clean up the front page Box using the General Forum. That will be a follow-up post. But first, here is what you will find in OSW Forums.

General – Being used primarily by one user for posts about general stuff it seems.

Help – Posts from people who are actually looking for help. Yippy!

* OpenSim – Being used for event announcements that will never been seen, and by people who won’t pay and support the site by making event announcements on the front page. Things went bad in the forum in the last year. Before then, there were legit posts. The only legit, non-event promoting, post in the last year was about "Age Verification strategies for OpenSimulator and the HG." As an aside, have you met people with profiles that say they are Age Verified. How, exactly?

* SatyrFarms – Now this is a weird one. Spammed by https://opensimworld.com/user/musajackson4 to promote himself as a Witchcraft Zoodoo Black Magic Spell Caster. People complain that Satyr doesn’t moderate OSW enough in general, but he hasn’t cleaned up spam in his own forum for almost 12 weeks. But OWS is largely a labor of love, so give the guy a break – especially if you don’t pay to support the site. But maybe Musajackson4 can cast a Troll-Be-Gone Spell? Nah.

* News – Well, this will not be news. Being used for event announcements that will never been seen, and by people who won’t pay and support the site by making event announcements on the front page. Seeing a pattern here. Deadbeats abound. However, there was a post saying "Wish the news was actually just news, not just advertising drowning out all the bits of news we have".

Technology -- posts from people who are actually looking for help with technology issues. Well done!

* Gaming – see the comment about the *OpenSim, and *News Forums. But there is some good news, I guess. Other than two posts this year, all of the posts are older than one year. Perhaps they realized that their event posts were not being seen?

Feedback – Well, there is this post with an Advertising and Events Forum Suggestion
“It would be great to have specific advertising and events form sections. It might (but we can't guarantee) prevent/reduce the instance of people posting their new product or party everywhere else”. +

There is a forum of sorts for event announcements. It’s call the Front Page. There is a forum for advertising also. It’s called paying for ads. Other than 2 recent posts with genuine feedback, the last authentic feedback was posted 2 years ago. So, being used legitimately, but not being used.

There is no way to clean up the forums. But I’m thinking the General Forum can be used, legitimately, as a way to clean up the Box. Details to come.

I call this my Vintage set… Because the textures come from the vintage line, and my chairs are made as vintage—pumpkin works. Even the cups have steam, and the chairs have many single seats; there is a set for dinkie and for regular.

Things posted in the fall park are for everyone to get. Also, Halloween dances you can use with friends are a lot of fun; new ones come daily, and this is advertising for AviWorlds. My Creation.
