So many beautiful places and nice, drama-free things going on in Opensim.

NEW!! At the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in the Masala Al Kohav region of the Genesis Roleplay Grid - THOR'S FORGE - our dear friend Thorvaldr Ragnarsson has graciously set up a shop with us here at the mall and is providing his beautiful medieval builds for free and they are stunning. Another one of our awesome builders we're lucky to have him on board! Come visit Thor's Forge as well as the many other shops in our mall including Star Ravenhurst's Designs, Fall's For You, Creations by Tainted Angel, Heart of the Matter Boutique, Indigo's Market & Boutique, Ares' Gizmos, Stuff N Things and many more. Stop in and check things out and if you'd like to add a small shop with a TP back to your store or mall, just contact me and we'll discuss the particulars. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Hello, Lovely Opensimworlder's.. Infinity 21 just launched the new " BLISS " roller skating rink and potential club. Just a few little touches will be added to it but it is open and in Kong City section of the region. Look Under King Kong! :) Any questions just message me on opensimworld.com or see me in Wolf Territories Grid. *** set to midnight for best view ***

Well, as they say, better late than never. We've done about two months of testing and ironed out a lot of bugs (I say a "lot" because it has been horrendous at times). I think we are now in a positions to go "live" and relax a bit.

We have renamed Opengrid to Castlehenge and downsized from 5x5 to 4x4 in an effort to make both regions the same size. As a result, I had to delete a lot of stuff from the outer edges. All the Athena and Decadence stuff has now gone as there is so much of it all over Opensim it was redundant. That has left us with a lot fewer freebies but we have retained Ruth and Roth, Selea Core, Paramount as well as the Clutterfly Warehouse and other open source stuff. Oh, and Synclair Designs is still there, too - authorised mesh women's clothing imports from SL textured in Opensim.

On the technical side; We are still having a few native problems with inventory - missing body parts and EOC errors but they do not seem to affect day to day running of the sims. I've tested hypergrid from another grid and there seems to be a glitch with bakes on mesh. The avatar looks fine to the user, but others see their body as white (no textures). It does not affect clothing, whether mesh or not. A workaround is for the visitor to toggle "Appearance Mode". Then the appearance is normal. This only needs doing once, I'm assuming so that the sim gets texture updates from your home server. Avatars already on the sim look fine to the visitor. We are running Opensimulator version 0.9.2.10 Yetti Release Unix/Linux/Mono Server.

OK, well that's it for now, I'm going to lie down in a darkened room for a while LOL.

My latest memorial is a very very special one. It is a memorial for my mother, a victim of cancer at the age of 50. She taught me so much of how to be a decent human being and to respect others. It took a woman like her to raise a kid like me and I'm grateful to God that she was my mother. She wasn't perfect by a long shot, but she was the perfect mom for me. So I wanted to have a memorial for her in the Park for Mother's day. If you have a loved one you would like to have memorialized in the Haven of Memories, just let me know, we can discuss the particulars and there is no charge, it's a free service because I care. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This site is monetized. People buy coins to post on the mainpage using RL money. People can choose to do paid ads to showcase their regions and content. People also pay for premium memberships to have extra features. But the moderation is next to nil. Yes, a recent troll was FINALLY removed after DAYS of toxic barrage. But it took way too long. And while the account was removed, the box was not cleared of their comments.

Yes we can block people. But since griefers and trolls make countless alts it's a constant issue. If you're making money off a site, it needs to be moderated. The site owner and manager needs to try to ensure that users have a good or bare minimum usable experience.

And while I recognize that one person may not be able to manage it all, there's been no effort to recruit other moderators. And I do think any potential new moderators should be paid for their time and effort. After all, the site makes money off the many users who pay into it.

It's feeling pretty frustrating and futile right now. This can be a great tool to connect with other OpenSim folks. And it's a great way to see what people are building and find new regions. For the folks who like parties, they can see events. But yeah it's been more irritation than joy lately.

📅 Date: Tuesdy, May 7

We are ready to kick off the party, only you are missing!!! Beautiful Sevillian party! What are you waiting for?

Hey everyone, I love dreamgrid and what Fred does, but sometimes with new beta version you get bugs. Until apache is fixed our website will be down. We need apache because we use joomla.

Hoping it is back up soon.

ps. I know we can roll back but when apache borked its a pain to roll back.

There will be news: we will sing in playback using "sound" not the voice or the media. Lilly Candy will perform as Adele, Alba Princess will sing on music by Burt Bacharach and, in particular, a new entry: our singer guitarist in rl Seth Roussel
Soft music and sensual lenses: You will have fun

An easier way to update dreamgrid...
1.) Copy the entire dreamgrid folder.
2.) Rename the copy to whatever version of dreamgrid is inside it like this as a folder name ---> DreamGrid v. 5.24
3.) Name the other original copy "DreamGrid Production"
4.) Download and unzip the latest dreamgrid into the folder named "DreamGrid Production"
This way if there is ever a problem You can easily delete the current DreamGrid - Production folder, and then rename the last running copy to DreamGrid - Production. This way you will always have a running production environment with several backups of different versions of good grid environments.
Why you ask? Because if a bug bubbles up through the code, you may wish you could just delete the latest beta and just go back to the latest one that was running fine. This technique can save you hours of pain. I suggest you try it.
