This is the repost of the Stark! magazine with the submissive Mina Sato and the famous Ernest Moncrieff, well knows as singer and curator of The Art Factory (OSGrid), with a kids-friendly-cover. ;-)

Why so much hate to meeeeee ..what i have done to youu can you tell me???MY REGION IS GONE...IS HACKED LAST NIGHT .I WENT NOW AND IS GONE...WHYY..is it yours...it all this work was yours?????why you behave like this......now i wil build again but with no public access....it wil be only for mee and to send my creations to other stores wil want my stuff..anyone cant stop me to create and give happines to who they deserve it ..

Info for all jealous and knowledgeable who claim my grid and 162 sim are slow. (user01) I did a test with an old pentium 4 Intl core 2 quad 3.2GHz, 8GB memory card 6 years out of life no more driver, "1GBite" internet. I'm going to my sim house market 60000 prim hard test. No difference to my PC i7 core 8, 4.3GHz, 32GB memory new Graficcard Gigabite. All work fine and stable fast. :-D
If my grid is slow for you, it may be time to think about the 50MBite internet and your old PC. That could be helpful. ;-)

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

On behalf of the entire New Life Italy team, we want to say thank you.
Thank you to everyone who, over the past year, chose to support us and believe in us.
Thank you to the many friends we have met along the way, people we now proudly call FRIENDS, because you are not just supporters, you are part of our journey.
Thank you to those who shared kind words, encouragement, and positivity with us.
And thank you as well to those who shared less positive feedback: constructive criticism has helped us grow, improve, and become better. Even through challenges, you pushed us to evolve and move forward.
A special thank you goes to all of you who are always present at every event we organize, showing us your support and appreciation. You value us not only for what we create and organize, but also for who we are as people and that means everything to us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all.
We wish you a peaceful and joyful Christmas, filled with love, happiness, and serenity.
A warm hug from me, from Adry, and from the entire New Life Italy staff 🤍

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

Hey friends!

I have always said that I am willing to share—just ask me first! Recently, a resident I did not know, who apparently created an account in AVIWORLDS in 2021, used CopyBot in Dallas to copy my landing and left it all under his name (Tetho Flavius). This makes me question how easy it is to use CopyBot here, and I would appreciate guidance on how to prevent this. For now, Tetho, you are banned for 14 days until you explain why you did not simply ask. Can someone tell me what these are? He had these around my landing spot.

The Bla Bla Bla Magazine Is Out Now!

V4 vendor updated with it.,

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.

We raised a whopping $323 for charity this year!

I put out a bunch of landscaping plants at the dump this morning. It was in the inventory of an older avatar/grid, and I was so happy to have found it. Maybe someone else can use some of it. Thankfully, all the original creators' names are still on them.

Whenever i go to a club people keep slapping me so i came up with this anti-slap device to wear. if anyone needs one hit me up.

I also moved my sims next to my love (16 helicopters came in and lifted each sim, i was biting my nails watching.. only a few dishes and wine glasses were broken) so i can just jump out of bed and run across the bridge to see her when i wake up in the morning. If you need to know the new location lemme know.
