For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.

Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!

Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.

In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.

Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!

Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!

Sharing knowledge is Caring



FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

We are greatly honored to be able to add a beautiful tribute Memorial Wall for a very precious man who did much to help many, Rudi Bakerly, was one of the most kind souls I have known and it was my privilege and honor to create this Memorial Wall to him. May he rest in eternal peace until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

THE LOVE LOCK BRIDGE
This corner is inspired by the Parisian tradition of "The Lock Bridge", by which for many generations thousands of lovers leave their locks on a bridge over the Seine and throw the keys into the river, manifesting with this gesture that their love is eternal. Putting locks is illegal nowadays in RL, but in iEchoes you still can put yours.
Come request it today and let's fill Opensim with love.

*** SEASONAL TEXTURES AVAILABLE AT FLORA* on pretty much all trees there (*). Why are u still playing green tree when its damn cold outside O.o ?????
(*) Textures not included on tropical and/or evergreen plants.

A bit on erratum (?). Recently uploaded the corner and row store and today, shopping at R. Lion for something else, I realised they are there? *sigh*
Anyway, just a good excuse to remind you folks of this GO-TO store: hop://watersplash.inworldz.net:8002/iPleasure/312/51/1979

Curious! How many people care about rankings? Curious! What do people look for when coming to OSW? What do you use to find things to do on OSW. Is it rankings, region source..be it party, shop, explore. Does someone being #1 or top 10, bother you? For myself, I use OSW to find the latest happenings, in shops , builds, and courses, by new ads from people. Then I check out the events list, for the upcoming events. Look for a good chat, to participate. Lately this chat has been attacks on someone. If there is a problem with someone, should you not use a private chat? Or report to OSW, and have them handle the situation.

Cyberglo has made an absurd and unfounded accusation against Silvia Frey. His post starts with a hysterical headline: PRISCILLA IS BACK!!! THIS TIME A NEW NAME/AVATAR.

I asked Cyber, "Answer just one question. In what way is Silvia Frey, who joined the Blackswan grid almost 8 months ago, and was known in the CopyKat Grid before that,"new?" So far, no answer. Obviously, she is not new.

Cyberglo identifies Silvia with a Blackswan grid address. Blackswan is home to a small group of friends who have been together in SL and now OS for over a decade. It looks like Silvia came to Blackswan in June 2023, when the CopyKat Grid closed. Maurice invited only a few trusted people from CopyKat to BlackSwan. It's doubtful that a guy responsible for keeping two grids safe would invite Priscilla Snot-rag to BlackSwan.

Several people have asked Cyber for evidence to support his wacko-nuts-cray-cray claim. One of them comments, "Hey Cyber. Almost a full day after you made this scaremongering and slanderous post. Obviously, you do not have any evidence. No logs, no screen caps, nothing."

Another person comments, "Why don't you allow Silvia to defend herself of your post? She is trying to access the comments and can't see the post". In other words, he has blocked her. Perhaps in his fevered imagination, he thinks she can take down his regions by just commenting on his OSW post. Did I say wacko-nuts-cray-cray already? It bears repeating.

Hi lovelies, I have added a few tiny but cool things:
- Paula's Popcorn Maker: Which dispenses popcorn boxes with animations
- Whiskey (to wear): With drink animations on wear for the glass, and several hold animations for the bottle (click on the bottle to switch - and thanks to Matthew for the script).
- Marshmellow (dispenser): You can wear this cup of marshmellow, and click on it yourself to get a marshmelllow stick, or invite others to click on it!

Witness the beauty of the vibrant coral reefs and their residents, from the colorful clownfish to the majestic lionfish. Be fascinated by the graceful movements of the manta rays as they glide through the crystal-clear waters. Marvel at the intricate patterns of the sea horses and the slow and steady pace of the sea turtles.

Dive deeper into the depths and discover hidden treasures within the shipwrecks and hidden caves. Observe the diverse marine life living amongst the submerged structures, such as schools of fish, crab, and eels.

But the real magic begins when you enter the fantasy realm of the mermaids. Immerse yourself in a world of enchantment, where you will find these mystical creatures singing and dancing alongside dolphins and other sea creatures.

As you explore, you will find yourself lost in the wonder and beauty of this underwater paradise, where imagination knows no bounds. Experience the thrill of being immersed in this world, where nature and magic come together in perfect harmony.

I'm *thrilled* to finally bring you this one. Has taken me a while because it's PACKED with cute props (90!) that make very nice static scenes, and very funny situations. If it wasn't enough, it was more than 1300 new animations (I bet you haven't seen most before!).

ADULTS ONLY REGION

Hellfire Bay is one of the regions at the Raven’s Peak grid. The theme for the entire grid is Ancient vs Sci-Fi. As the story goes, there was once an ancient civilization that lived here, however they are long gone. Raven’s Peak has since been rediscovered by a new modern civilization, who are preserving the memories of the ancients. Old artifacts, statues, remnants of buildings can be found everywhere. Raven’s peak itself has been mostly preserved with thriving beaches, forests, and jungles.

So far, we have the shopping district of Nysa, main marina & residential area of Cinders Beach and Hellfire Bay.

Hellfire Bay is a place to relax and have fun as you can see in the pictures above. We welcome visitors and residents alike to go sailing, exploring, flying, and dancing at the beach club. Hellfire Bay offers many private cuddle areas, public use bungalows, a beach club, main surf beach and a hidden airport. If you explore far enough, you might just find it! It’s well worth taking some time to sail & stroll around the many islands to fully appreciate what has been offered.

If a holiday destination is what you are seeking, then come and spend a few hours or a few days with us at Hellfire Bay. Bungalows can be used for overnight stays!

**Please note that the various texture issues many of you have experienced have now been fixed.

The newest addition to Avedon Park, Luna's Land illuminates the night and guides travelers across the waters of Avedon. Located in the elflands at Avedon Park South, the landing is still under construction but open to the public.

Ok I have a question for the users who read these posts. This region is clothing for Athena rigged clothing and I was wondering how many of you would be interested in my also releasing the same designs for the Legacy body?? If there is enough intrest for the legacy outfits I will start getting the textures etc ready and do some legacy releases as well as the ongoing Athena releases.

Okay.. so being in the top10 grids has its issues.... Metaverselife has experienced DDOS attacks for over a week straight.... Unexpected but not unanticipated. Since a large number of Avitron grids residents have created accounts and taken land in Metaverse the attacks have been daily and persistent. Ive read quite a bit about the owner of said grid and have no doubt in my mind that there are ample motivations for such a person to cause such distress to others.4 years of this grid and minimal issues .. praying for his lost soul,..and adding CloudFlare..

Art....
it touches us

Protect OpenSIM from hackers, Priscila's and DDOS atack is very easy, but most grid owners continue to not protect their grid and servers.

There is 3 simple step guide for admins:

1. Disable BUILD for all visitors, guests, friends..... ONLY OWNERS MUST BUILD! Priscila use THIS option to fill your sim with cocks!
--------------------------
YourSIM:
About land: Options:
Edit terrain: NO!!! Only SIM owner!
Fly: yes, why not?
Build: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Object Entry: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Run Script: yes! or mesh body like Athena will not work properly
Safe (no damage): YES!!!
-----------------------------
2. Always use router or at least software firewal:
On your router:
my server use IP port 9000-9010, some server may use 8002
don't open port 8003, 3306, 3389 or other numbers what you see somewhere!
------------------------------
config redirect
option src 'wan'
option name 'SIM'
option target 'DNAT'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src_dport '9000-9010'
option reflection_src 'external'
option dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'

config nat
option src_port '9000-9010'
option name 'OpenSim'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src 'lan'
option src_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'
option target 'SNAT'
option snat_ip 'WAN ip XX.XX.XX.XX'

config rule
option src_port '123'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDROP'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'

option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDropp'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
------------------------
3. Make backups!

=========================== 2024 year additions =====================

4. NEWER allow ssh, ftp, sftp, rdp,smb or any other admin or file transfer access to the server via the same IP address! Use another hidden IP address or better VPN!

5. Backup must be on OTHER phisical device!!! Work copy on some directory is NOT BACKUP!!!

And, keep accusing me of being troll, canibal, ....(all what really is you) but if you not protect properly your server, screams will not help!

Yes we have a Christmas Jawa here at All Free shopping Spree and Advantis ,he thinks hes Father Jawa mas , I dont have the heart to tell him ...Hes here looking for Love so come adopt your Christmas Jawa Free for all !!!
