So, in the event you are looking for a frosty yet romantic winter fantasy vibe, these are winter magic frosty trees. The leaves are still on them and somehow froze and became a shade of white, definitely total magic.
Make some hot chocolate and wear your mittens if you put them out.

A question has to be posed to the community, in regards to illegal activity, preventions and counter measures.

I am the builder of Amoa Nude Beach. Along with my partner Robin, we created a nude beach region that we donated in appreciation to the amazing generosity of the owners of Barefoot-Dreamers grid. A win-win for both, in which my partner and I who have loved nude beaches since our days on secondlife, could enjoy once again. We have permanently left secondlife and no longer have to endure the abuses committed and performed by visitors or owners of those beach sims, some in a pro-active manner. All because we didn't agree with their opinions. But that is another subject altogether and not part of this discussion. We didn't build this beach for massive traffic influx nor profit. We take NO donations, traffic means nothing to us. But exists, for those that wish to enjoy it. Amoa is a place where everyone can enjoy that wishes, without question.

All that is required is 3 BASIC rules to be observed and adhered to. Human, Nude and Adult.

Measures were taken so that this is clearly prevalent BEFORE even arriving. It is shown AS an adult region. The name itself states NUDE. Our very very limited advertising (Since we do not seek waves of avatars and want to keep it comfortable and not overwhelming) states HUMAN. Simple and easy right?

However, recently it has attracted a daily stream of nothing but naked toddlers, naked pre teens, dragons, Japanamation cartoon children, demons, lumberjacks who stand on the landing fully dressed spraying and praying all females on radar and lastly, women dressed in ball room gowns.

I am not one to eject or ban and usually give plenty of warning, in hopes that all will enjoy our creation in whatever way they wish. Our aspirations have been to provide a little of everything for everyone. However, I have held back from providing some amazing custom creations, because of this recent wave of illogical behavior.

The guys dressed as lumberjacks will never stop. Same old excuse, it's to hard to take clothes off, lag, blah blah. Even when I hypergrid, I can still change to a saved outfit within 1 minute, thus proving this is merely an excuse for them to spray and pray every chick with "How are you?", "hru", "U'r Hot, want Fk?" or some other classic pickup lines like "yo" and "Hi Fk?". Because every chick just melts when a guy says those things to them. Which makes me wonder why each of these girls IM me and ask me to save them with a TP.

Which brings me to the question of this article. Is it complete lack of common sense or just a flagrant arrogant disregard of rules or merely laziness (because reading is so hard and takes too much time to read 3 words) for this increased wave of violating visitors?

I have asked some violators, what did we not do to make it clear enough? I was told that I should extend the title of the region name to include all 3 rules, plus add it to the description (even though it already is stated in description). Flagrant arrogant disregard.

Now I know for a fact there already exists pedophilia regions like Golden Sun that is comprised of mostly senior citizens using toddler avatars trying to convince each other that their mic is broken but they are really 12. Why do they feel the need to visit THIS region that clearly states that pedophilia is NOT tolerated? Which indicates a leaning towards flagrant disregard.

Some known pedophiles have already been banned such as a 70 year old man in Alberta Canada that we know his avatars.

But it all brings me back to the original question. Is it Lack of common sense, Complete flagrant arrogant disregard of rules, or just flat out laziness?

I would love to hear the feedback so I can impersonate Spock and say "Fascinating!. I am sure, enquiring minds would like to know.

Upate. This address should work for everyone:

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

Well, from time to time you just need a lamp that goes with almost everything. Basic lamps called the "Daily" lamps, they are available in the main shop building. The textures are included so they can be customized and there's also a menu script which includes the option of having them go on and off automatically with the sim day cycle....but, hey, if you want, go ahead, leave the lights on.

A new release today. A very tiny one...it's a little goldfinch. I never made a bird before but I thought the bird bath perhaps needs one and maybe I'll be doing some other bird related things. This guy is in 2 versions, flat feet for the ground and feet to perch on branches and things. He also comes with and without random finch sounds. He's at the main shop by the bird bath of course :)

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.

So many moralists ... OK too many. I don't understand it, please help me. You don't do everything yourself. You copy right and left. From people who give you everything free, copy mod transe.

Welcome to Opensim! :-)
Go to Google, learn what is Opensim Free spirit!

So viele Moralisten... OK zu viele. Ich verstehe es nicht, hilf mir bitte. Du machst nicht alles selner. Du kopierst rechts und links. Bei Menschen die Dir alles frei geben, copy mod transe. Die selben Sachen stellst Du an sin Land. Du sperrst es für andere. No mod no trans...... HAST DU DICH IRGEND WANN GEFRAGT: MIT WELCHEM RECHT? GEGENÜBER DEINEN MITMENSCHEN? Verstehst Du die Botschaft? Ja? Willkommen in Opensim! :-)

MASTER CEREMONY: TBA

💎 Reborn + Waifu – Schönheit mit Rückgrat

Das hier ist kein Look, das ist ein Statement mit Nachhall.
Spitze, Leder, Transparenz – jedes Detail flüstert: „Ich weiß, was ich tue.“

Reborn spielt mit der Eleganz, Waifu mit der Versuchung – und beide tanzen auf der Grenze zwischen Kunst und Attitüde.

Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob man darf. Hier wird entschieden, dass man kann.
Ein Outfit, das keine Bühne braucht, weil es selbst eine ist.
Es ist der Moment, in dem Stil und Selbstbewusstsein sich verschwören – und das Ergebnis trägt High Heels.

Reborn + Waifu: Für alle, die nicht glänzen wollen, sondern leuchten.

Drift to Coralys, where suspended islets pierce a phosphorescent sea and waterfalls whisper ancient legends beneath copper roofs.

Make your way between enigmatic towers and veiled paths: every corner holds a surprise—a forgotten sanctuary, a lighthouse that shouldn't exist, or a stone path leading further than you imagine.
Teleport, but listen: Coralys is not just to be seen, it's to be felt—let its mysteries call to you.

FR
- Dérivez vers Coralys, où des îlots suspendus percent une mer phosphorescente et des cascades murmurent d'anciennes légendes sous les toits de cuivre.
- Frayez-vous un chemin entre des tours énigmatiques et des sentiers voilés : chaque recoin recèle une surprise — un sanctuaire oublié, un phare qui ne devrait pas exister ou un chemin de pierre menant plus loin qu'on ne l'imagine.
Téléportez-vous, mais écoutez : Coralys n'est pas seulement à voir, c'est à ressentir — laissez-vous appeler par ses mystères.

There comes a point in life where you realize that carrying everything is slowly crushing your spirit.

Other people's choices. Other people's anger. The past. The fear. The noise. The endless need to control outcomes you were never meant to control in the first place.

Our people have always understood something modern life keeps trying to make us forget:

You cannot heal while fighting every storm around you.
Real strength is learning what belongs to you…and what does not.
Your attitude. Your effort. Your words. Your response. Your integrity. Your willingness to keep walking forward even when life gets heavy.

That is your circle.

Peace comes when we stop trying to control the wind and start learning how to steady ourselves within it.
Focus where your feet are. Grow where your spirit is planted. Protect your energy. Walk with intention.
The strongest people are not the ones controlling everything around them. They are the ones grounded enough to control themselves within the chaos.

- Dan George

The residents of GroovyVerse have created a huge collection of ReadyPlayerMe avatars. I converted them for use in OpenSim, and the vendor distributes a folder with a complete avatar, shape, alpha and all the associated textures.

Anyone is welcome to use or take a copy of the full-perm vendor. These would make nice starter avatars for a small grid. :)
