Oni shared so mercilessly with all of us. No other grid captured the spirit of OpenSim the way CopyKat had, not even close. It was a great transitional place for users coming from SL to OS, and will be missed

all i wanted to say, everyone has already said here of compliments and all the good words, so i just want to say that i wish that everything always turns out well for you, i am just another anonymous user, but i have always admired your contribution and your effort in give things away for free to everyone without looking at who. A big hug and a big kiss, long life to you. be blessed. Best regards. ♥♥ Keddy ♥♥

I just knew that you abandon your grid, and OpenSim for the same occasion. We will all miss you, as we always made, when, by some blow, we saw your world disappear. We will miss you, your worlds, your madness, and above all your immense imagination. You had up and down moments, but we always waited for you to return. Maybe this time you will also come back, or maybe not. Anyway, I must tell you how much I appreciate all you did and gave, for free, to the entire world. Thank you Oni.

Oni I am sorry to hear this. You have a home in my region any time you want. I don't usually have people stay on my land, but you are forever welcome. You can even live in a castle if you want. Or a shack. Whatever suits you. :) Thank you for all you have done for Open Sim. Just YOU don't leave us. Best of luck on your next adventure.

Oni,
I want to thank you for all you have done not only for me personally, but for many here in the opensim metaverse. I know we don't know each other very well, but you have helped me far more than you will ever know! I thank you for your kindness, generosity, and welcoming attitude. Your contributions to OpenSim over the past 15+ years will forever be talked about.. Maybe a few other grid owners can get together and dedicate a region in honor of you and your work on Copy Kat & Adachi. I'm willing to help with a project like that! It will be sad you see such a HUGE part of the OpenSim history come to an end.. I wish you much success, love, light, & peace now and in your future.. Thank you for being such a huge asset to the opensim community. hugs

What Oni made, many have emulated but never with quite the same verve or feel.

We'll move on as always and with one eye on what we've been so lucky to have.

Smile for what was, work for what can be.

Never forget.

Everyone matters.

Love all, hate none.

Thank you Oni you gave so much of yourself

I agree Oni, you deserve a break, please do what YOU want and have fun in whatever that is, rl or not. OS will never forget Copykat grid, but will move on just fine ;). Big hugs!

A real pity to loose such a friendly grid with the best music and freebies. Many thanks for all the effort Oni and crew. Adachi will be sincerely missed. ^^ Aya

ohhhhhhhh that is a pity, I hope Oni still drops around just for the fun at at least. Nice person, good sense of humour, helpful and good to talk to.

Very Sad to hear that CopyKat grid is leaving our rich universe. I met Oni only a couple of times, but she was always helpful polite. Her grids and the amazing range of products she gave to us for free (Yes Free - no hassles) was very welcome and helpful to me. I enjoyed visiting her regions, they were well designed attractive and things were easy to find. I hope she will be back one day, but in the meantime, I wish her a very restful and happy retirement.

this saddened me Oni has helped me in so many ways since coming to os many blessings & much love to you hugs you tight thank you for everything enjoy your retirement !!

Cherry Manga must have a sixth sense for doomed grids. Whenever a grid she used to call home goes down for what looks like good, she has always managed to jump ships in time, be it FrancoGrid, be it CopyKat.

i was sad when oni told me the news, hope regions are back up soon.

best wishes and much love xxx

thanks for everything and all the good!! Happy retirement!

oh damn oni will be missed :( and hope adachi will come back soon. I did visited there and i saw adachi on map but cannot access which it was down.

Bummer... hope you're back soon, along with some resurrected version of the CK assets.

Hugs Ori
