A note to all Misfits residents

Due to your grid being allowed to roam freely in mine but my grid is not allowed the same curtesy, I have banned the entire grid from entering mine.

I have tried to contact Misfits grid and have gotten no response. Therefore the decision was best suited to protect my grid since i can't validate avatars in Misfits grid.

From what i have heard all but one grid is banned from Misfits grid

negative comments or calling me a Karen will get your comment deleted\, not trying to start a fight.

Well after a hiatus due to RL, I am slowly rebuilding the sim, at the moment there isn't much in the way of goodies. However, I will be working like a mofo to get items brought to the store for you. Please be patient whilst I work on the sim (I am doing this on my own).

Hopefully see you soon, drop by and say hello!

After over 20 years working and socialising in various virtual communities and meta-verses before the phrase was even coined mainly in Second Life a popular 3D virtual platform. Around five years ago I became a little disenchanted. I had had many great times within SL however over the years it had changed and not all for the good. More and more I was finding people were getting hurt by people who just seems like they wanted to brush their egos and create drama. Many of these people had reported the issues even major breaches of the SL Terms of service to little avail. Even report of illegal activity and paedophiles seem to draw little response. I became to realise that SL had moved away from the community focus platform that it once was and now seems more concerned with making money for share holders than its users,

This led me to looking for alternative platforms and I search through many many words many of them seemed abandoned some amazing features but lacking users. Others seems predominantly populated by teenagers. On a few worlds i had hope and reached out to the owners to ask them what it was they where trying to do. The answers on most where disheartening they either had little long term focus or were simply trying to grab a market share of the meta verse community to make money.

I had even considered opening my own world although had decided that in the current financial climate it was a huge risk. Then a friend asked me to check out avatarlife. Now i had been to avatar-life briefly before and made a mental note that it did show promise but had forgotten to go back. So I signed up an account and soon after met the owner and his right hand lady. They seemed open and very honest people I asked about what they wanted from the world (or grid as its known on that platform). The answers impressed me especially when it turned out they were focused on building communities and giving their users the freedom to build there one communities and create.

Had i found a new home time would tell.

I was offered free land and well felt special and welcome then discovered id missed the sign tell any one they can have a free parcel few small stipulations i noted was that it was one per ip and there were basic rules to reduce lag, so a nice offer and well thought out things where looking up.

Time to see what else was here i was directed to several free shopping outlets bodys, head, clothes, skins, houses, furniture, landscaping all available for free. Awesome I did note that many of these were very similar to items i knew well from sl and some where exact copies. So something to ask about its bot uncommon on the open grid network but I wanted to know.

Then I almost literally bumped into one of my online nice, me and her mother had been firm friends year earlier and ha d adopted each other. I hadn’t seen her in years so we sat and chatted and caught up(it made me feel very old ). She mentioned that the grid had helpers people who were volunteers to offer support to new people. I thought oh ok I can do that and applied went through an interview and was hired.

Had i found a new home began too look like a maybe.

I reached out to the online family to ask them to come check it out and give me their opinions the were amazed. Then it came to them getting there free parcels the land i was on had three parcels free. One of the staff reached out to me and them and said well if we would like we could live next to each other which was kind of awesome. They also pointed out that if they had assigned them land elsewhere first then there would have been a fee to relocate. Again myself and the family were impressed they could have easily made money from this but instead wanted us happy we most definitely where.

Had we found a new home well almost certainly.

So I was talking to one of the head staff lady called angel and mentioned about the stuff i had found that was from SL. Her comments impressed me alot. She didn’t try to deny this but pointed out they had been brought in from another grid and were on that grid for free so were offered on avatar life for free. However if i knew any creators then to invite them and if any of there stuff had been copied they would remove it and replace it with the legitimate ones. This seems like a fair and reasonable solution. She also mentioned that one of the projects they had on was to replace the stuff with their own original content and as I had told her about being a former lecturer offered me the chance to run some blender classes in the campus. well im teach the clue is in the name.

Had i found a new home most definitely.

So from a very battered old dinasour thank you avatarlife for rescuing me from the SL drama and idots. Thank you for giving me the freedome to create and teach. Thank you for restoring my faith in that this dream is possble. Thank you for restoring my faith that most folks are decent people. Are you perfect? No. Are you trying to be better yes exactly like me. But mostly thanlyou for the freedom to be me the me I choose to be.

Still reading well why just come see for yourself the bars open. Lets build a better world together vitualy

PAGANE WAS RIGHT!
From the firestorm creators own website, I quote. "There are occasions when a block is probably best for everyone. As an example, we can consider the recent 6.6.16 release, which had the potential to mess up inventory. That needed to be blocked to stop people from “hurting themselves” and causing ourselves and Linden Lab undue support overheads."

LETS SPREAD POSITIVITY NOT HATE!

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, hate and bashing towards other people. I try to ignore most of it but lately it has become to much. Why do people feel the need to use hateful words or put someone down.

No matter what religion we are, gender, political views or whatever it is, cant we just agree to disagree.

I have seen a lot of people in my time in Opensim do amazing things, anyone that can DJ, build, script and anything else, is awesome to me. For the ones that constantly tell everyone they are awesome its because they are. They do a lot of things i do not know how to do or cant.

So in conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all creators, builders, scripters, and etc, because without all of you, my regions wouldn't look as good as they do. I may take things and place them and put them together but the credits go to the creators, builders and scripters.

Instead of name calling and tearing people down, lets be a little kinder, lets ignore the negative and worry more about spreading positivity.

Comment's welcome but please be kind :)

GRID IS BACK ONLINE!!!

Hey everyone, by the grace of god i was able to fix all the ini files that broke and get the grid back online. we will eventually roll back as the current version cant create new regions. but for now all is back up and working.

I wanted to leave it at that - but thought I would bring at least 1 face skin + eyes to go with the skin tones!
Bear in mind it's in a new location (since I plane to bring some more items on this theme): hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NE/85/2...

(2/2) ...not enough skins in the previous post? Oh well, here another 2 styles in 16 additional tones. As well as 5 full fatpacks of body hair!

ya know.. there sure is a LOT of imature, high schoolish, jealous, so called adults, who are drama queens & kings across all grid of the metaverse.. here's a little advice.. if you have a beef with someone.. Take it up with them "Personally".. email them.. reach them inworld on their grid.. reach them on facebook... reach them on discord.. but whatever you do.. do NOT reach out to them publicly on someone elses post, profile page, or advertising poster, or what have you.. if you are blocked LET IT GO.. if its THAT important that you absolutely MUST keep the drama going.. create an ALT inworld.. go to their grid.. send them a message let them know exactly who you are.. and then say what you gotta say.. HOW DARE YOU start drama on someone elses post here on opensimworld.com .. 2 words for you.. GROW UP! & Keep your business and drama off of other peoples posts!
Have a nice day!

I see that the small group of haters who are ruining the OpenSIM and OSW community have already gone into total madness and disregard for any rights, laws or at least basic respect for the rest of the world. These people now allow themselves to spread outright slander for which huge corporations have filed lawsuits against them and/or their contributors. They allow themselves, without any evidence or justification, to charge anyone who is not their slave with serious criminal offenses and pass final sentences.
I won't list them by name only because the OSW rules don't allow it. But we all know them.
I will continue my principle of not using any bans. But common sense forces me to take some measures to limit the access of haters, religious fanatics, extremists, extortionists and the mentally ill. Starting today, access to all my regions will be under the "Group Access Only" policy. If you want access - ask and after thinking about it, I might answer you...

Through the grapevine (thanks Jimmy) I am hearing of a script that is going around destroying assets and killing grids. I think it's at least attacked 2 grids that I know of, one of which we managed to rescue.

If you have this set to true in your Robust.ini you are vulnerable to it I think. I'm guessing as I've not seen the script itself.


; Allow all assets to be remotely deleted.
; Only set this to true if you are operating a grid where you control all calls to the asset service
; (where a necessary condition is that you control all simulators) and you need this for admin purposes.
; If set to true, AllowRemoteDelete = true is required as well.
; Default is false.
AllowRemoteDeleteAllTypes = false

This is in your Robust.ini

I know I'll probably get shouted down - this is just a hunch that this is what is causing this issue.
