What is friends grid?

Friends Grid is a vibrant, small multicultural community where diversity thrives, and individuals from various backgrounds come together to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Our greatest asset is the people who form the heart of our community, fostering an environment of collaboration, support, and shared experiences. In addition to this strong sense of unity, we also offer cutting-edge technology, providing tools and resources that enhance both personal and professional growth. This combination of incredible people and advanced technological solutions makes Friends Grid a truly unique and dynamic place to be.

* Daily Asset Backup
* Hourly Region Snapshots

Friends grid is not leasing out large parcels of land, however, we do have a few complimentary sim sized islands with 10,000 prims for people who want to make this their main home and be active. Contact @zuzubahro or @safinemahoe2 for details.

It seems like people crave a balance between connection and autonomy.
Belonging to a community offers support, camaraderie, and shared experiences, but having personal space and privacy is important for self-expression and maintaining individuality.

what if.....
we spent our time focusing on our similarities
instead of our differences?

I have seen many discussions here become very toxic recently because people are focused on how we are all different. I love how we all are different, but we also have some common similarities; the most obvious is that we are all people behind the pixels.

Sometimes in life and Opensim, it is much easier to tear a person down than to build them up. Let's make the extra effort and support eachother!

This is our Opensim.....lets take pride in it!

what if.....
we spent our time focusing on our similarities

Maybe you dreamed of a farm, but wanted it in a tropical setting…with a three story cave underneath it all!

Whether you're an artist, designer, storyteller, educator, or simply someone with a passion for creativity, a virtual world offers boundless opportunities to explore, create, and express yourself in ways that are uniquely fulfilling. It's a playground where imagination knows no limits and where your creativity can truly thrive.

What will you create with your free sim and 10,000 prim?

The beauty of virtual worlds lies in their limitless potential for creativity and imagination.

In essence, virtual worlds empower you to transform your wildest dreams and ideas into tangible digital experiences. Whether you seek to inspire, entertain, educate, or simply explore, the virtual realm offers endless possibilities for creativity and self-expression.

What can you do with a 1 sim parcel?

In virtual worlds, the space you create and inhabit can become deeply personal and reflective of your imagination, preferences, and interests.

Ultimately, your virtual world is a reflection of you—your creativity, interests, and how you choose to interact with others in the digital realm. It’s a canvas where you can craft experiences that are uniquely yours, making the virtual world a deeply personal space indeed.

We are looking for people who want to be creative, and create their own special place in virtual worlds. I am not looking for free land collectors, but people who want to be part of a multi cultural community. Contact @zuzubahro or @safinemahoe2 for details.

Bring your horse to meet Smokey!

We know there are a lot of horse lovers in opensim. One of the biggest challenges to horse owners is having large, beautifully landscaped areas to ride. the second challenge is having ridable trails over uneven terrain. It sounds simple, but can sometimes make a person say bad words when building it. then you also have issues of will the horses physics work on the uneven terrains.

At friends grid we offer the amazing horses from my friend,Roland Francis, and we have two totally different trails for you to enjoy. Now, you can now bring your own horse!

Friends Stables - Enjoy a ride which will take you through the beautiful stable area with ocean views, continue on to the working friends farm. and then ride over the mountains and into the beautiful rainforest! There are many different trail options here.

Friends Mall - this is a beautiful easy trail located in back of the mall. This is a simple trail...you cannot get lost. You will ride along the landscaped path viewing the ocean and gradually climb high into the mountains.

If you don't have a horse, feel free to use my horses. After you enjoy riding these wonderful creations by Roland Francis, you can go to my store and get your own horses.

Teleporting Issues?

I just became aware of a major flaw with firestorm and the solution that is on the Firestorm download page. I have been unable to TP unless I relog for last 3 days. After much research I realized this was a Firestorm SLURL issue.

Go to the firestorm download page and you will see the above information.

I have not changed my viewer settings or added any new viewers; but it appears some upgrade (probably windows) caused the SLURL function in Firestorm to no longer work properly.

As I follow up....I am teleporting perfectly now after installing this.

I am encosing the notes from firestorm :

What is this ?
SLURL Proxy is an application that will handle SLURLs on your Windows system. Clicking a SLURL on the web,
will open SLURL proxy, which will forward the SLURL to the viewer you have chosen.

Why is that interesting ?
Various Second Life viewers you might, or may already have installed, modify the way SLURLs are handled on your system,
and often cause problems when you uninstall certain viewers.

SLURL Proxy provides a user friendly way to correct this.

Upon start up, SLURL Proxy will check to see if it's the default SLURL handler.
If it is not, it will inform you about that, and ask you if you'd like to use SLURL Proxy as default instead.

When you have set SLURL Proxy as default,(or even before that) you can simply drag one or more viewer shortcuts onto the application window,
and they should be listed with viewer name, and icon.

SLURL Proxy allows you to add several viewers, and one always needs to be the default viewer to use.
The default viewer is the one where the checkbox is checked.
If you would like to change the default viewer, simply click the viewer of your choice in the list.

That's it.

If you wish to set a viewer as default SLURL handler instead of SLURL proxy, then you simply need to click
Set other SLURL handler in the menu, and drag the shortcut of your favourite viewer onto the window.

Requires .NET 3.5 and only runs on Windows

What is this little island?

Dreams

This little island can help people live their virtual dreams:
terraforming
building
landscaping

yes...this island is Dreams

approx 1 sim in size,
water is connected to entire grid for amazing sailing
10,000 prim
rent free!

However, we are very selective about who we add at friends-grid. We do not want house collectors who get free land on every grid...then never use it. That is a waste of our time and resources.

If you want to make this your main home and be an active part of a growing community , then maybe we should talk.....

about this little island making YOUR dreams come true.

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

Recently I have had a number of people requesting that I allow child avatars at friends-grid and I want to discuss this openly and honestly.

It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved. In this situation, I need to understand the Child pornography laws of not only where our servers are located, but I also had to research and learn the laws of every country we have residents and guests from. We currently have residents from 30 countries and guests from another 35. People who say "laws dont apply " are incorrect on this subject. You may have servers in one country.....but all the laws of your resident's countries come into play also.

A good thing to remember is that because you have gotten away with something for 10 years does not make it legal. You may never get caught....and then again.....somebody with a grudge may turn you in.

I want to point out a recent post by Jerralyn Franzic . Jerralyn showed the cutest childs outfit ever! ....and she also made the wisest statement ...."I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem?" Personally I would love to see kids riding ponies at my farm....and having fun being mermaids. If everyone in child avi were to abide by Jerralyn's statement, there would not be an issue.

However, lets talk about reality. Not all child avis are simply riding ponies and playing in the water. The simple truth is that many (not all) of these child avis are having sex. Some grids use this to boost their traffic. In some countries, including US, the graphic illustration of a child online having sex is 100% illegal. You see, it does not matter if the person behind the computer is 12 or 52......the visual computer generated depiction of a child (child avatar) involved in sex is very illegal in a number of countries. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 Many people will say their countries are different....and this is stupid. I did not make laws........but I need to abide by them. Before people jump on this and criticize me ....I would suggest you read the laws of your country....your servers country...and the laws of all your residents or guests. There are many misinformed people on this subject. I am not saying the laws are right or wrong......but learn the laws.....then comment. You need to learn laws for your servers country...and all your guests countries. This post is not about morals......it is about laws....of all the countries involved.

I have spent over 200 hours reading international laws. Some countries allow things that others do not. However, you have to consider all the laws because of guests.


In closing....do I hate kids and kids avis......nooooooo. I would love to be able to allow them to come to friends grid. However, this is a less than perfect world in which we live, and I have to look at the potential liability of allowing those child avis. Because of that, Child avis are not allowed on friends-grid......no exceptions! I am sad....because there are some wonderful people in kids avis that I do not get to have visit.

Friends-grid is an Adult community and we are looking for adults, with adult avi's who want to make this their main opensim home.
