Upate. This address should work for everyone:
virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Goodmorning, it seems not everyone is able to visit my region Avia at Virtual Worlds Zone Grid. Would you pls let me know? It should be opened to everyone. Alternative is to hop to virtual-worlds.zone:8002 and there choose region Avia. Hope it will be solved soon. http://virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Don't usually do drama politics lol but i recieved more than the usual Hate Mail since posting here. 1. This is no Second Life 2. 70% of the items i see for sale in Second Life are free downloadable objects and clothes modified and then resold for quite alot of money (i do game graphics in RL) 3. OS Grid came to us as a free open source and is especially valuable to those who are handicapped and on low incomes who can never never never afford SL to create their dreams 4. No other grid would be around if not for the FREE tech service from OS grid staff and developers 5. If you tweeked your copy of OS Grid sofware for YOUR GRID and it runs better GREAT that is what we want! YOUR HAPPINESS 6. When attending someones event try to have manners if possible, I know these are hard times and everyone is on edge but lets all just step back for a moment and take a breath. Im happy to help anyone or discuss or listen Hugsss and have a great day HAPPY HOLIDAYS

You added secondlife: as a prefix, to all of my HG links, then when no one can access my region (because I'm NOT in Second Life), you ban me for incorrect address and refuse to reply to my support requests??? WTF? Please help me get this set up correctly!

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

I don't care how others see myself after this but folks need a bucket of truth. I'm a fur, we stopped caring what others thought about us after the media started taking pot-shots at our community, so let's begin.

1. Open Simulator uses code from Linden Labs' software. This fact alone makes OpenSim a copybot of itself. How? By continual development using core OpenSim. It would require a major rewrite to fix this.

2. 90% of active Opensim users are using botted items anyway. It's the only way to get content away from Second Life for places like OpenSim to thrive.

3. Grids have the right to block whomever they want to. Whining about it doesn't magically reverse it.

4. There are clauses in OpenSim to deter would-be copyrighters. Don't want to deal with it? Shut down your grid, and go away or don't complain. You knew this was a possibility when becoming a grid owner.

5. True major violators are delt with. Kitely has a giant issue with this still.

6. Visitors need to know that not ever location on OSW is ran on some corporate super computer 24hrs a day. Most are on personal computers being ran on sub-par internet. Just like #3, whining about it doesn't magically fix it.

7. The only true OpenSim grid that will remain when the others have left will be OsGrid. Is it a ghost town 90% of the time? Yeah it is but when the OsGrid fundraiser comes around, it's always filled.

8. OpenSimWorld and SatyrFarm are projects from one person done in spare time. Whining about it doesn't make him appear from thin air and fix whatever issue you're having.

9. The Swiss stating what their laws on copyright is makes them transparent, not troublesome. Only an idiot sees it that way. The Swiss was also home to The Pirate Bay - US Copyright laws do not and will not exist there, nor are they enforced. Even Trump won't mess with the Swiss.

10. Any grid owner who uses the God mode function to force object ownership to themselves is using their executive powers that have been a staple of OpenSim/Second Live since 2005. Second Life viewer 1.0 had this function for admins to do this very thing if residents became unruly.

11. Visitors need to realize that servers and internet aren't for free - grids and standalone regions need that to cover their cost or we find ourselves whining about why such and such place or grid isn't around anymore. It's because of whiny children who feel entitled to everything, even if their in their 40s. This very argument is why minimum wage and cost of living in the US went up.

12. Giving something away that costs people money isn't a violation no matter how you look at it or there'd be more people in jail(starting with the new head of the FCC/AT&T kiss ass).

There, now that I've thoroughly covered everything and offended everyone it had to be said. Those that wonder why OpenSim hasn't evolved only need to look in the mirror. We are the ones slowly killing OpenSim from the inside out. We are the ones pushing newcomers away with our he said/she said bullshit and of our screams of what's deemed right and wrong. Second Life is still here. Why? Because they control stuff like this from getting out of hand(and we passed that threshold yesterday) and don't act like children while doing it. Why is OsGrid still here while other major grids failed? Same reason. InWorldz went under because of how its residents acted, not Beth, not Tranquility.

To be honest I don't care if I've offended anyone with the truth. It sucks - get over it. Boredom is not a valid excuse for stupidity(I'm going to use that as a tag line now I think). We should be thinking about what the next big thing should be for OpenSim, then embrace it. No police it to death where no one wants it. If these aren't your ideals then just shut your computer off, disconnect your internet, and go play outside.

What would life be without drama?. We all love a good dramatic performance, and even reward good dramatists with Oscars. Being good lovers of drama ourselves in opensimworld, we decided to introduce two new Dramatic features to the website:

1. We are introducing the new Drama group. This zone is especially reserved for outbursts of emotion, adrenaline explosions, and generally high drama. We will be moving here any public threads that we feel are worthy of an Oscar from now on. Who knows, maybe we ll have an actual awards ceremony in the end.

2. We will be removing comments from Dramatic users from the frontpage. Those selected users will still be able to create comments and everything, but those won't appear in the frontpage. If a dramatic user feels that they no longer want to be dramatic, they have to contact us using the contact link


We hope you enjoy our new dramatic improvements, and we wish happy drama to everyone. And if you don't enjoy them, feel free to respond with an outburst of drama.

Cheers

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!

***OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V4 (VERSION 4) UPDATED RELEASE****
AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULLPERM AT WEATHER SECTOR

************WHATS NEW ON V4 FROM V3 VERSION?*************
PS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED STUFFS FROM PREVIOUS VERSION (v3) ALL YOU WILL NEED IS REPLACE THE CONTROLLER AND THE SOUNDBOXES AND THE SCRIPT FOR THE SCULPTS SET!!! (These are the 3 scripts I modified for the bugs fix and new features!)

- Bug fixed:
--> Code 210 (Light Thunderstorm) now fetched from master to slave scripts properly;
--> Weather condition now never shows as "unknown".
- Enhancements:
- Information now sent to owner includes wind speed and direction, visibility and humidity.
- SOUNDBOXES with NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION updated:
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally when due.

Offworld has existed for a total of 18 years now. It was first called "Land of Vikings," then became "Gridworld," and finally "Offworld."
We're marking this occasion and celebrating this milestone with a small event.
On Friday, August 8, 2025, from (CET) 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Genie will be giving his best on the microphone. Starting at 9 p.m., the fantastic Phaandor Pertwee will take over the stream.

Offworld existiert nun insgesammt 18 Jahre, zuerst hiess es "Land of Vikings", dann wurde es zu "Gridworld" und schlussendlich dann "Offworld".
Wir nehmen diesen Anlass und feiern dieses Ereignis mit einer kleinen Veranstaltung.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

All are welcome at Three Hills Grid. We embrace a spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. Whether you're here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, you belong.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!
