Suite à une panne des serveurs FrancoGrid hébergés chez Scaleway Online , et l'absence de volonté de la part de l’hébergeur de trouver une solution viable, nous sommes en incapacité de remonter la grille.
L'association perdure, et reste en veille.
Les assets sont perdus après 2020, les assets datant d'avant 2020 sont saufs. Notre admin technique réfléchit à une solution pour fournir des .iar aux personnes le souhaitant, pour toute information, veuillez contacter ssm par mail : contact@francogrid.org

Question:
Is the AVITRON GRID the Reality World created by Alexsandro Pomposelli aka Alex Ferraris aka AviTron Metaverse aka... a dead end street?
A friend with an Avatar in the AVITRON GRID asks me and send me this screenshots.

A carful of too lazy to work thieves tried to sneak into my home late Christmas night. They found out real quick amputee does not always=helpless. An old grey maned wolf with a missing leg still has fangs... heh. Rebelworld is running, but PC still has issues from the most recent breakin during my last hospitalization. Apologies if you experience any lag, or brain hiccups. Happy New Year ya'll, :) hugs n high 5's

I believe, in my opinion, that "war" is founded on envy of the success of a AVITRON... who took advantage of the greed of a grid (Sacrarium) to attract users to their grid, and on the selfishness of some copiers who claim as their own the creations of SecondLife creators, who are not involved in this fight. If you learned to copy and upload your copies, you have 3 options ... 1) you share it with friends ... 2) you share it with the entire Opensim community ... or 3) You don't share it with anyone, only for your personal use . But copiers claim to receive recognition as "Gods" just for knowing how to use a copybot very well. Sacrarium is a good grid, but...IS PART of Opensim...so...Opensim is beyond than Sacrarium. You want Sacrarium copys ?...make a Avitron account...you dont want Sacrarium copys ?...stay quiet in your grid. Its easy. Just...respect the other users and make your own life.

Ausgrid is down at the moment cause I'm having issues with pc that crash with blue screen saying memory management. I guess it Windows that is corrupted so i might have to reinstall windows. It a pain in the ass. Grid and Regions are safe in other hard drive.
It was working fine and that before bad storms and i saw it coming so i quickly shut down grid & regions then shut down pc and that when next day it gone crazy with blue screen saying memory management, etc you know silly thing. I think i guess it can be corrupted Windows cause i run DVD Linux on it and ran for hours so it have no issues. People that have regions in Ausgrid are missing Ausgrid and so am I missing it.

"Hi everyone. I decided to post this screenshot because the situation really struck a nerve, and I have nothing to hide. This guy spewed a ton of vile hate under my post.
Honestly? It just hurts. It’s painful and disgusting to read how you—along with millions of others—are dragged through the mud simply because of the passport you hold or where you were born. This guy goes on, in all seriousness, about the 'free world,' while being completely consumed by blind xenophobia. He thinks it’s perfectly fine to paint everyone with the same brush and strip people of their right to simply be human, judging the world based solely on images from the TV.
I want to address all the reasonable people in this community. Is it really considered normal these days to judge someone by their nationality rather than their individual actions? I didn’t bother anyone, I didn’t insult any of you—I just shared some content. And suddenly, I’m hit with this nonsense claiming that we’re 'not human' and that we should be wiped off the face of the earth. Tell me, please: is this the 'freedom' and the 'European values' that everyone keeps shouting about? Dividing people into 'right' and 'wrong' nationalities is pure fascism, no matter what you call it.
I’m nearly 40 years old; I just want to live my life, connect with others, grow, and go about my own business. I didn’t choose where I was born—just like none of you did! And I have no intention of bearing the brunt of someone else’s aggression or personal issues. Decent people always judge someone by who they are on the inside, what they do, and how they treat those around them. What you see in this screenshot is nothing more than cowardly harassment. This guy showed up, dumped a load of filth for no reason, and then just vanished." Let me know what you think about this. It’s genuinely important for me to see if there are still people here who can think for themselves, rather than just parroting clichés from the internet. Wishing everyone peace and kindness.

Atrius and Dismayland are the only valid destinations until further notice.

Working on a project with Lone Wolf from WT: it`a 20x20 VAR region with the (so far) the highest mountain found on opensim (the peak found is 901 meters O.o@@@@!! it `s a SIM connetected north from TROMSO called SENJA (from Senja mountains in Norway). but unsure about the name - or maybe redo the Tromso into it. SIM is opened for visitations but not much many things built there yet just a bunch of trees, a harbor and a medieval viking church (Stavkirk).If you want to come , u will need to use Wolfviewer or Wolfstorm though as from the normal FS u will crash (reason is because FS built for SL and SL dont have VAR regions, not evben the monster-var we have now on opensim). but if u using the correect viewer, welcome and try to climb to the summit!

🇬🇧 Our Yes ❤️💍

Not where festive church bells are ringing,
not where flowers line the way.
In a room filled with worry,
we will speak our vows and say “yes” anyway.

Cancer may weaken your body,
and no one knows how much time remains.
But there is one thing it can never take:
the love between us that stays.

I hold your hand within my own,
as I have held it every day.
And tomorrow I will say “I do,”
because love can be stronger than fear.

However long the road before us,
however hard tomorrow may be:

Today we are two people who love each other.
Tomorrow we are two – united forever. ❤️

🇩🇪 Unser Ja ❤️💍

Nicht dort, wo Glocken festlich klingen,
nicht dort, wo Blumen Wege säumen.
In einem Zimmer voller Sorgen
sagen wir Ja zu unseren Träumen.

Der Krebs mag deinen Körper schwächen,
und uns bleibt ungewiss die Zeit.
Doch was er niemals nehmen kann,
ist unsere Liebe, die uns bleibt.

Ich halte deine Hand in meiner,
wie ich sie hielt an jedem Tag.
Und morgen sage ich dir „Ja“,
weil Liebe stärker sein kann als die Angst.

Wie lang der Weg auch vor uns liegt,
wie schwer auch das Morgen sei:

Heute sind wir zwei, die sich lieben.
Morgen sind wir zwei – für immer vereint. ❤️

🎉 Tour Script — UPDATED! 🎉

If you've been using the classic OSW keymotion touring script for your boats, carriages, cars, or balloons — it just got a serious upgrade.

📍 Region-Crossing Support
Your tour vehicle can now travel across region lines and come back, instead of being stuck looping inside one sim.

🔄 Resume Feature
Hit STOP mid-tour, and your vehicle no longer snaps back to the start when you continue — it now resumes from the nearest waypoint, right where it left off.

🔓 Two versions available:

Anyone (public access) — open to all
🔒 Group Only (group-gated) — restrict the controls to your own group

Same notecard-based route format you already know, same simple touch menu — just with cross-region travel and a real resume built in.

Grab it here: https://opensimworld.com/library?view=170

Questions? Drop them below — happy to help anyone get it running on their own build. 🚤🎈🐎🚌

If you create in OpenSim, there is a resource worth bookmarking: Fred Beckhusen’s Outworldz Creator resources.

It is one of those places where you can arrive looking for one texture and an hour later realize you’ve found enough material for three completely different projects. 😊

Outworldz has collected and preserved an enormous library of resources for virtual-world creators, including:

• Creative Commons seamless textures
• Thousands of mesh, sculpt and 3D resources
• 1,000+ free LSL scripts
• Avatars and avatar components
• Animations and sounds
• OARs and IARs
• Building kits, objects and project files
• Tools, tutorials and other creator resources

One particularly valuable collection is the work of Linda Kellie, whose creations were generously made available to the community. Outworldz preserves a huge selection of her textures and other resources so creators can continue putting them to use. The seamless texture library alone includes hundreds of Linda Kellie materials, including fabrics, stone, tile, glass and building surfaces.

And it goes far beyond textures. The Outworldz 3D library currently contains more than 1,800 downloadable entries, including mesh, DAE/OBJ files, animations, sounds, OARs, IARs and complete resource packs.

The script library contains more than 1,000 open-source, copyleft and public-domain LSL scripts, searchable by category and creator.

This isn't simply a pile of freebies. It's a creator's toolbox and an archive of work contributed by people who helped build our virtual-world community. Fred has put an extraordinary amount of work into collecting, organizing, converting and keeping these resources accessible.

Before deciding you don't have what you need for your next project, take a look through Outworldz. Chances are Fred has already tucked something useful into the toolbox.

https://outworldz.com/

https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?count...

Create something. Experiment. Learn something new. Then build something wonderful with it.

Fred thank you very much for everything you give to the community, I have learned so much using your portal. YOU totally rock!

A New Chapter Ahead

After taking some time away, we have been giving a lot of thought to the future. Due to the many requests, messages, and words of encouragement from so many people, we are seriously considering making a return—with a fresh outlook and a stronger vision.

To be clear, this is not a reboot, nor is it anything like what one negative individual suggested in a previous comment.

What happened did hurt us, but it did not break us. If anything, it made us stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.

This may be the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to sharing more when the time is right.

Keep an eye on future notices... there may be some exciting news ahead!

We're creating a historic French Acadian village at GroovyVerse, and I wanted to share some of the soundtrack we created.

It's a mix of old folk songs, a few modern pop songs, and a few original ones I wrote. Played in a Cape Breton celtic/folk style mostly.
I am just starting to learn french and chiac languages, so don't beat me up if my french is terrible. lol

Buoys! Performed some updates on this buoy. PBR makeover and now this buoy bobs and rocks in the water. (Place in sim water and then touch it to auto height adjust.) Also some PBR materials in the shop, custom signs at request.

🚨 Breaking news from Sciattisi!
She's landed, the icon, the diva, the dark queen: Jane.
A complete avatar with more curves than a mountain road and a soul as black as Monday morning coffee. 😈☕

You're not ready, but she is. And I assure you, she'll leave you speechless (and maybe even a little envious).

🖤 Warning: Jane's outfit is a complete exclusive to this Avatar.
Looking for it in stores? A waste of time.
It's like looking for Wi-Fi in the middle of the desert. 💅

Once more I apologize. A lot of people came to FLORA and couldn`t have the copy of the sculpts set box inside (among others). When it`s 1st happened, I thought.. ok. it was 3.am. tired... I might have forgotten put it . But then, I put an 2nd time. and people still saying it`s not there.. U know. Opensim can be really weird with assets. Originally the sculpts were on my AMV account , then I brought them to WT grid and worked on script when I was there. Tried to bring back to AMV (as FLORA is here), had assets issues.. had to bring piece by piece.. So to avoid further issues... I put a 3rd time If for some reason one s till cant have it, I rezzed the SCULPT SET box on the ground.. Once more sorry for the inconvenience. And people from opensim knows that these weirdnesses happens all the time...

The next selection for the Homelandz Public Library might be the most useful, for some. 489 pages helping anyone from beginner to advanced Blender user to understand the VAST many capabilities of this wonderful and FREE software called blender! May we all improve our Blender skills and help OpenSim to grow to be a more beautiful and amazing place!

Note: Seriously, if you can spare some dough to support the author, PLEASE DO. Especially if you can get the pdf as cheap as me via Amazon ($3usd). Yes, there is a TON of free info out there on Blender, but to get so much in easy to understand, step by step instructions...perhaps decide if it's within your budget to show the author some support! :D

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

You can find the original Celia avatar here: hop://agartha.ovh:8002/Agartha/218/57/1514

Perhaps OSW should require an IQ of at least 10 before allowing individuals to post comments or reviews.

note - if you try to visit a place and get a "region not found" error, talk to the owner...or try clearing cache and re logging. Don't leave a 1 star review on a place you have never seen.

Zephner, I envy everyone you have never met.

Question about opensim

Is it just me or is others not getting notifications when someone messages them? I dont always jump on osw everyday but lately when i have i look into my messages seeing messages from like 6 days to a month ago. Anyway to fix this, i have checked my settings and all boxes are not checked?

Also

I don't normally post anything politically divisive - and this is not posted to do that although in the current climate some people will choose to leap before looking.
Rather I'm posting this because I'm in awe of the person who made this.
Remember that the right to peaceful protest is something many people don't get the chance of doing.
Let's try and not lose any more chances for creativity in a good cause.
Sing along if you like :)
