People need reminding time and time again how evil this man is. Ignoring wannabe tyrants and demogogues, pretending they don't exist, or aren't as bad as they say they are or that reasonable, rational opinion determines is a recipe for disaster.

"The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts."

Not sure where you get your info from prolly the liberal media fake news. Ending a war is opposite of genocide jeez.

At the end of the day we just build, decorate and landscape for just ourselves. People do visit but most if not all never return. The best grid is the RL grid one that for the most part never disappoints. We all need to get a little fresh air and step outside a bit more. SL and Opensims are great but there greatness is a perfect time waster thats just my opinion.

Opensims was built on CopyBotters (God Mode) For this reason all the malls are busting at the seams with stolen content. This will never ever change as long as there is demand there will be theft. Trying to fix this would be like kicking a dead horse to ride another mile.

There's actually plenty of legal stuff. But you'll rarely find it at freebie stores, not at the big traditional freebie stores that try to hoard as much Hypergrid content as possible and not at the "new hot stuff" freebie stores either.
Usually, there are three reasons for this.
One, it's obscure. It's often hard to find, and so, nobody even knows that it exists. In fact, a lot of it only exists in the inventories of a few avatars anymore.
Two, it can't hold a candle to premium luxury payware released in SL in 2024 and promptly ripped and offered in OpenSim for free. Deck your avatar out in a Ruth2 v4 with Damien Fate clothes etc., and people will take you for a clueless newbie who needs to be told where to get "the good stuff" and how to use it. The only shop owners willing to hang up such content are either those who prefer quantity over quality and never curate any of the items in their shops or the blue-eyed idealists who want to run freebie stores with only legal content.
And three, it often isn't full-perm itself, and hardly any freebie store owner can be bothered to God-Mode such old content. Or worse yet, you can't get the sales boxes, only their contents, so you'd have to rebox everything. Or both.

Not sure there is lot of demand for Linda Kelly Items or pre 2010 look alike builds. Just sayin its the new stuff and scripts in demand.

Not much has been made since the copybotting craze really kicked off around 2015. Many creators threw in the towel, and they did before they even tried to make their own meshes. You have to give credit to Linda for being among the few who actually made original, legal, even partly open-source mesh content (Clutterfly) when most others threw in the towel because they couldn't compete with the masses of copybotted SL content.
There may not be as much demand for it as for Lara/LaraX/Legacy/eBody Reborn stuff that's a few months old tops. But there is demand, namely from those very few who want to deck out their avatars in legal content, and who got far enough to not decide that's impossible, give up and get themselves a ripped LaraX.
(Curiously, Clutterfly jewellery is currently spreading across brand-new freebie stores like wild fire. Goes to show that many shop owners have no idea what they're slapping against their shop walls.)
There may be even less demand for layer clothes, regardless of how practical they can be and how they can solve problems that arose when everything went mesh. But again, there is demand. And not only from those who refuse to modernise their avatars beyond 2011.
As for buildings, unfortunately, the choice isn't that big. Free and legal buildings that look really good pretty much only come from Aaack Aardvark. What he builds blows everything from SL out of the water. But it isn't much, and it's mostly only available in his two shops.
Otherwise, if it's legal, and it looks good, it's payware. If it's free and legal, it's often very old prim buildings from times when computers were weaker, and creators weren't quite as talented. Like, fairly low number of prims, doors as thick as the walls and no texture alignment whatsoever. And if it's free, and it's good-looking mesh, it's illegal and ripped from SL.

Not sure its Dreamgrid (Fred) I'm thinking its something else completely no reason to start pointing fingers without full knowledge at what is wrong or how it happened.

Last time was due to PHP 8 installation by him. So at this point, with nothing else done by either grid or region, leaves this as a likely culprit.

I use a older version in my 2 grids, Reason is because if it works why change to the latest. I always go by if it ain't broke why fix it reasoning. I don't know just saying. But good luck over there.

Thanks and I agree with that. Most times you rarely have to upgrade anything unless of course it would affect things on a major scale. I am not the type that needs the latest and greatest. I prefer performance and reliability over being cooler.

Arielle, I like a feature on the server monitor called "pushover". For a lifetime fee of $4.99 you can get messages sent to your mobile phone using the pushover app for iphone or android. It's cool if you don't want to sign up for a sms service with recurrent fees. However, the server monitor software supports about 20 or so different sms services. Some have the service as low as .001 cents per text message. :)

Yes and that's great when I am in the server room which I often am but I am also on the road a lot and use Lumiya mobile viewer if I know she is online. There are ways around it but it was handy when we were in SL and I had an app that texted me when a friend logged in there. I could then log in with the mobile viewer to hook up.

Because enough is enough. They got away with this shit on Secondlife and had 300k conservatives banned. For years of everything against their Libtarded agenda ever spoken was censored and deleted so that ONLY the Libtarded sheeple comments remained. They constantly feel we need to have shit shoved down our throats and not criticized, like the CCP in China would do. Or the Nazi Party and Soviet Union would do. Sometimes you HAVE to take a stand and say ENOUGH, so here we are. I am fed up with their bullshit, I am tired of them telling I CANT SAY THAT. WHO SAYS I CANT? I am called a racist for saying "colored people" and the official name of the NAACP is North American Association of Colored People. But I can't say that??? Enough of this shit. SO they got made I said Faggot. Well if you're a faggot then the shoe fits. If your a douchebag, the shoe fits. ANd they cannot handle being called out. They say I "Hate" though they cannot show me where I said the word "Hate" and then they post this shit ass picture and cry and whine like little faggots that someone called them a little faggot. Then say I "Bully" but yet I am the one being attacked by 10 gender benders and sheeple. So yea, Enough of their shit, I will never apologize and they can learn to live with it, or block me, as I block them, because they are garbage and I don't give a fucking rat's ass about their opinions anymore. There is the reason.

Very informative Mari, My go to is Deviantart many 1000's of models and ideas. Oh not to mention a handy script loaded into blender is always a huge help and a folder with many different physics models needed for the Big stuff :).

Yes, @FerdFrederix helped me with SkyRealm; he took a model with over 800 parts, then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and that script helped to reduce the level of detail. He then made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the floating mountain. Without Fred’s help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred. He is at this moment helping me with that Ikran rig, https://gyazo.com/00db1a89b1db18895ba97f5e5f525eec I started it and got lost in all the head bones lol! That is who I give all credit too, he has taught me so much. I appreciate you too @JoeBuilder, thank you for all your tips too~

I guess the mindset of RP standards in opensims is different than in SL. Is what I'm reading here.
