All I know is that I hate the fact that the original creator field doesn't work once it is transferred over the hypergrid. Been a few times I would have loved to see their other content but the field is always just loading. That is an issue with Opensim because it used to work.

A few responses. Kitely made some great decisions to market on the HG. They also made what I feel were bad ones. Restricting purchases through PayPal only and requiring Creators to sell for at least $1. Many of the products sell in SL for a few lindens but on Kitely the same will cost me a minimum of $1 US, which costs me over $1.50 Can. Sorry, not paying that. Like it or not, Kitely creators are in competition with SL prices as to what people are willing to pay for an item. Had they arranged to sell with Gloebits so creators could sell items for less than the minimum US $1, I likely would be a more regular shopper there.

As to God mode, Opensimulator is alpha software and especially the permissions code is a bit funky on the hypergrid. Many creators have issues even on a regular grid in how to set permissions properly because Opensim does not strictly follow SL's methods or how transferring it will wind up. The Permission code has changed on a few occasions in core also so how a permission was supposed to be is not always how it winds up.

Opensim is free and one can run a region for pennies a month on electricity or even just $5 p/m on some cheaper grids. Creators here do not have the expenses they have in SL so I feel its a bit greedy to be asking the same prices one would pay in SL. On Kitely I see creators even selling for more then the typical prices on SL on the excuse that there is less people in Opensim but seemingly ignoring the fact that there is also a lot less competition. I've read it is not unusual in SL for stores to sell less then a 100 copies of an item but they do ok because they have hundreds of items to choose from and are always putting out new innovative content to keep their heads above water. I don't see that here.

On the God Mode again, Grids come and go like clockwork. If I as the owner of the Arielle avatar purchase something from a creator, the license is to the living entity behind Arielle. Since Arielle is on multiple grids, I use the content I have purchased for her where she has an account. Should one of the grids she has an account on close up then I feel I have a right to transfer that content to her on another grid as I own the license, not Arielle as she is just my visual representative. The copyright laws in that regard are somewhat ambiguous but some past grid owners took it upon themselves to go with an interpretation that served themselves rather then their residents. It is the reason I would not touch the new Grids of some past owners with a barge pole. They will do everything in their power to deprive residents of their legally purchased content. Their unpopularity is well deserved.

Much of the issues surrounding copybotted content is too much aimed at SL content whereas the creators of that content have the right and obligation to file DMCA's. I would much rather see the focus being on copybotted content of the original creators in Opensim itself. If one looks at some past grids like Sacrarium, they were not banned by other grids for their SL content but for the content they were distributing from Opensim creators. The SL stuff is competing yes but the plain fact is that even for that content, creators, especially scripters. could do pretty good selling better huds for some of that stuff. I know I certainly would like to see that and would be perfectly willing to pay money for it should they do so. Sure it could be Godded and some will but constant updates and other tricks could easily minimize how many do. For many of us in Opensim there is a convenience factor some of us are willing to pay for as long as it is not exorbitant amounts.

Ok thx for the heads up. I had thought to myself when I read his post that I had seen the name Sylvia Frey before in past and therefore questioned how new she actually was. Good to have it publicly clarified what went down so her reputation isn't destroyed by someone posting incorrect information about her.

I've been kicked for less before and though I was reinstated by Dan, it didn't negate the fact that another admin had kicked and banned me for even less then a showing thong.

Some nice other items there too. Loving the NPC hud!

Sorry to hear that Snik. Lbsa has become less welcoming and safe over the past few years and though I realize Dan winds up as the Hit man for the grid, I feel it is some bigger donors who are behind it. They sit in the Plaza and minutely inspect each visitor that they are meeting the listed guidelines and either report or have banning powers themselves to clean up those who don't measure up. LBSA Plaza is long overdue for being replaced as the meeting place for the metaverse I feel.

Whatever would you get banned for?

Do a simple map search of "login.aviworlds.com:8002:Malaka Free Clothing" and the jump is fast.

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully there is something salvageable. In any case the Core developers need to get their butts in gear and close up these vulnerabilities that allow such a thing.

Was fast for me after doing a map search for proxnet.org:8002:Chubelz Welcome

Crossing fingers that this time they will have estimated the time correctly. In any case one should have recent oar's and IAR's just in case and put them out on a private standalone.

The focus should not be on Child avatars anyway but rather those who find then sexually attractive. Having had some younger looks in past (Teen, Tween) there been times I was approached by adults asking if I could make myself look younger to play. Those were the ones that made me cringe. A community that tries to ban anything looking like a child strikes me as one that is like an ex alcoholic trying to hide all the booze from sight in case they get triggered to drink.

What is with the crusade against grids and regions you don't like? Whether it is bots, npc's or animesh avatars they are something someone has chosen to include on the region for whatever reason. If it is of no value to you, then move on to something you do like and tell us all about it. Personally I am looking for good AI bots and such because they can be more fun then real people since they can be programmed to be pleasant. :)

Interesting, will defo be coming to look.

Whats the topic or is this just an advertisement?

And the mission should you choose to accept it is to help her recover her beauty.

You're in luck, it is free. The question is whether you can modify it into something pretty.

Too bad though that the Opensim devs in their wisdom have decided it is too much bother to include the server side changes needed for the Inventory Preview code. If they are going to stop including newer features, Opensim doesn't have much to look forward to unfortunately.

More importantly, where is the link/invite to the discord channel?

I notice it says that for the OpenSimulator Core Developers, Diva, Melanie, Andrew and Ubit are all speaking. That seems surprising as I didn't think Diva and Melanie were actually even involved with Opensim anymore other then their names being listed as Core devs in spite of not having submitted code in a long time.
Are they actually going to be speaking on Saturday or just listed there as sort of Core devs in name?

There is the HG (Hourglass) body with a selection of outfit at Grimmm and a few other places. There are also some teen and children bodies though I am not over familiar with those.
One thing I would be interested in is where to find those selections of bodies with the lower complexities as the Legacy and Reborn can be pretty heavy. Someone did make a lighter weight Reborn though I forget who it was and where it is located atm.
