If you do, I will be first in line! I finally have a decent collection of shoes, but they were hard to find. I keep thinking I should get a new avatar to join the crowd, be cute like everyone else, and wear all the awesome options they have. I can't make myself do it though. I end up dumping stuff from my inventory I pick up without even trying it on and stick with the same old me. :) At least I travel pretty light grid hopping! :)

Those are cute!! I wish I could wear them. I have such a hard time finding shoes that will fit. That is the downside of a classic avi. They look perfect!

I came, late. No one is here. :( According to the event listing on the side of the main page, it should still be going on. Love the place! Great vibe.

Well said Safine. Thank you.
As cute as little child avatars can be, they bring too much speculation and trouble. They are not allowed in my regions. I prefer to be on grids that don't allow them simply because...they are too much trouble. Thanks to bad people. Bad people always ruin everything. They don't care about the laws. So we have to care. Who wants to be held liable because some people are on their grid doing bad things they are unaware of? It happens I am sure. Bad people always find a way to do the bad things they seem compelled to do. If they get caught by the law, well as a grid owner, they will be looking at you too.
So because of these idiots, it has ruined it for folks who would like to roleplay having a child or whatever reason one chooses to be a child in innocence.
I wonder what the possibilities are for creating AI children for virtual with safeguards put in place so that bad people can't mess that up too? Someone much smarter than I will have to do it. :)

Outside of OS I had to check this, and it's more complex if you are in EU or have EU residents, because of GDPR. I couldn't proactively scan their logs (the software for that is out there). The best is a robust, GDPR compliant ToS + reporting system - which allows you to investigate + automatically destroy + ban if a report is made (you are actually legally FORCED to) + make available to authorities if needed. But any proactive scanning in EU can get you in as much trouble. The eternal battle between safety and privacy.

Healing energy is sent for your partner. I hope they have a speedy recovery and get back to good health.
I think about those things too. Nobody knows the truth of anything. It is all mystery and speculation. The beliefs that is. People want to believe in something. Some need it. I say, believe in whatever brings you the most comfort when you are at your most vulnerable. That is your truth.

I hope you get well soon and feel better. Too bad one of these Huds can't zap the illness right out of you! :) Great work!

This stuff has been going on for years. Back in the day when I was in SL and had never heard of OS, I had a large, successful rental property with 80 apartments, 12 sky boxes, cottages, and a castle in the sky which stayed rented. I think people who have rentals probably see a lot more than the average person. I did. Some of my tenants made me feel uncomfortable so I would keep an eye on them and at the same time, try to respect their privacy. Some of the people that engage in these disgusting behaviors are stupid besides being perves and would use local for their emotes and chat and THAT is what revealed what was happening on my property. They would get the boot and a report and ban and no refund :). Second Life has known about this crap for years. Sadly, it has taken someone going public to finally get their attention. I agree, Open Sim will likely experience some blowback. But then again, don't think for a moment it isn't happening here. It is really sad because it would be really cute to create a little avatar to "play" one's child, which is innocent and a lot of people like to do it, but because of idiots, it is probably best to just avoid all child avatars and forgo family roleplay because the pervs have ruined it. I hope something is finally done about it and real-life consequences happen for those involved because if they are doing it in virtual... :( :( :(

I thought it was a thick slice of mouldy bread. :D I need emojis!!

We should argue about lack of emojis as I believe it makes us appear stone faced!

Well, they can help or they can hurt, emojis that it. It is like trying to read ancient Egyptian. Not everyone gets the meaning you intended. But the ones that do...well maybe they won't be mad at you. Maybe they will agree with you. Or it could start a war. :) I still want emojis though.

True the emoji's might prevent some taking a comment the wrong way as a smile can avert a big debate. :)

My sister Kal and I want to come! I checked out your website and the Register For Event doesn't seem to work. I keep looping back to the same page. I tried coming to your region hoping I could see you and I got no region found. I hope you are doing well and look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for your review @Arielle. I do have a raft you can rez, and I will work on getting more rez points out and more visible. The raft works very well and Lavia worked on the script so it stays rezzed longer. Flying is allowed. I will check my settings. Thank you for letting me know and for your visit. You are welcome anytime.

Good work Lavia!! How sweet!
I would like to mention that we have a large Selea Core Collection at Star Jinn Palisade Mall. I cleaned up, reorganized, and reboxed everything from anywhere, plus, I had quite a bit that I had not seen anywhere else that I added to the mix. Mainly Elven and Fairy stuff. A few things I even had to fix as their textures had gone missing. Not her original look, but at least they are now usable.
It was a huge project, but her work is worth saving. A lot of stuff doesn't need scripts to work, so I have removed them. It will be better for your Sim. Like the Butterflies has at least 4 scripts in each. Imagine if you have dozens of them rezzed.
So while you are picking up Lavia's lovely pillows, swing by the Selea Core Shop and add to your collection.
I also have a shop there with all original content that you may like. I add new stuff as I make it or as I remember. My architectural builds are on the lowest level in their section. Misty Falls also has a shop near mine with some nice Animesh. It's a big place, plan to stay awhile. :) See you soon!

LOVE this! So glad you were able to get the help you needed to resolve your issues. THIS is what community is all about. We all come from many different grids(from all over the planet), and some of us are on the same grids, but being in Open Sim gives us all a unique opportunity to have the common goal of building a strong community of collaboration, helpfulness, and support of each other's goals and most important of all, establishing life-long friendships. I am not formally friends with most of the people on this site or Inworld, and yet I feel a strong bond of friendship with each of you that I encounter regularly, here, there, and everywhere. Thanks for that and thank you Safine for sharing such wonderful and positive news. So happy your grid is fixed! WTG Lone Wolf and Josh and Rafael!
