When we log into virtual worlds, we step into realms of magic and fantasy, leaving the real world behind, even if only for a few moments. These virtual spaces offer a magical escape, free from the politics and religion of the real world. Let's keep these issues where they belong, and preserve virtual worlds as sanctuaries from everyday problems. 🦄🪄💗

New release of v3.2 the animesh horse script (can be worn or rezzed as vehicle) and optimized it for PBR viewer compatibility. I did some efforts to make the script more ubOde friendly (yes, with room for improvement) and the horse now has many new features for you to play with.

Xenon Darrow: YAY!!!! tytytyty Roland! I AM SO EXCITED! 6 months ago
Hello,

I am actually nobody of consiquence, but I write this for those who want information about me. I stated to many of you that I would not go into detail because I dont want to speak bad. But attacks are aimed at me and my friends so I write this under protest. Read if you care or are just curious; pass if not, as it makes no difference to me.

I joined Opensim out of curiosity when a close friend of mine showed me something he thought I would enjoy; he was right. I used his account to learn to navigate and explore, it was fun! Then we made my OSG account and I began to explore on my own and meet people. I did not find many until I came across a popular sim. I became friends with that sim owner and they welcomed me in and I started to meet people. Many were very helpful in teaching me and coaching me on OPensim and AVI creation. I listened and learned. I am a pretty fast learner. My first AVI was an atrocity, but entually I got her as close to me and my look as possible, which I found super fun. I had so much fun, I am a shop aholic and this scratched that itch.
A few weeks later I was asked by the grid and sim owner to take part in getting people to sign up. I agreed and then was given a small house that I could decorate. All fine and good. Then out of the blue the grid owner offered me a sim and I told them that I had never ran a sim so dont expect too much (The sim was a shopping area). Then the grid owner gave me a larger house and I was impressed. All seemeds sureal.
A few days later I had invited a friend to the house. (Adult activities were being had betewwn two adults) Out of knowhere the owner of the house poofed in and banned us both from the house sending me naked into the grid landing area. SO apparently the grid owner gave me the house that belonged to another grid manager and they did not agree, but I wound up being the one who was treated like garbage and then they removed the sim they had given to me from me (Luckily I had not invested time in it).
Disgrintled and having a bad taste in my mouth. I could not stay in the grid. The Grid owner constanltly harrassing me for things, even after I was treated poorly for no reason. ALong comes another grid owner who would like to start a similar sim. I eventually agree, because I could not stay in this grid. They were the knight in shinig armor picking up the damsel in distress. All is ok. They show me around their grid and explpain how amazing their grid is, which was fine. Im still cautious and reserved about this venture not wanting to alienate my friends, but was assured that they would understand. EVentually I agree and start to learn how to build etc etc etc. The grid owner doubted that I had any build skills, but quickly I had proved otherwise. All was good. The sim was opened and advertised. People statred to come and the sim rose in ranks. We only were running on the premise that we do it good and do it best, the rest will follow. I was ok with that. If the sim was not good it would die. MAny people started to come and they liked the sim. It became popular.
During the run, only a few people had to be banned and the ban was mutually agreed upon. Soon after though the bans were unilateral. I was fine with this at first becasue it wasn't my grid and the grid owners experience is much more than mine. So I just accepted it. Then we would get people that would come and they brought their friends with them and they would have fun, but then they would get banned. It happened again and again. I would field the complaints from these users and honeslty was powerless to do anything about it. I was met with "Oh Jamie, you dont know what I know." So even though I disagreed and no information was given to suport this, only conjecture and heresay. I let it be becasue..this is not my grid.
Then I was presented some information that I was not thrilled about, I eventually logged out for the day. When I logged in, the grid owner snapped at me. I responded that I will never be talked to like that EVER. I then asked about the information that I was given and allowed the grid owner to explain. Again they advised me that I have no idea as to what the truth is and that the person presenting me this information is insane and that they have a messed up life. (Honestly the explanation and the fact the grid owner snapped at me out of the blue was pretty telling, as I had never even mentioned it to them nor would they have any information that I had known). They apologised and I was ready to let it be. I logged out a little ruffled. Next day I was ready to log in and just work the sim, but was slapped in the face with accusations and allegations from no where. So I simply resigned. Thats it. I just would have nothing to do with them or the sim (Hostile work environment).
I update my OSG profile that I will not be part of any grid, nor will I create an account on their grid, becasue so far its worked out terrible twice. Since I have left, people have asked why I left and my answer was this.

"I will not talk bad, but I just resigned."

I provide no details as to why etc etc. I was then told by those people their experience with the grid owner and it pretty much matched mine in the end. But I would not confirm their story, I would only say Im sorry you had that experience. I have not attacked the sim or the grid owner. The first grid owner I mentioned previously, I have publicly said that they are a moron, but this specific grid owner I have not. The only one I have ever spoken in detail to was to the one that gave me the info. Everyone else, I just stated I resigned. I know some people must enjoy drama, I for one do not. That is why I pretty much have not responded to the digs and jabs this grid owner has slung my way. You can see on OSW I have not responded nor will I; its not part of who I am.

Here are some of the things this Grid owner says, of which I have either not responded to, or have the ability to respond to. I have removed the names of peopple and added the (Jamie) to help in understanding.

To the grid owner. I have no interest in the success or failure of your grid/sim, it will survive or fail based upon your actions/management alone. As you have stated that if I were replaced by an NPC, no one would notice; have at it. I have not attacked or said anything bad about you, your grid, or your sim, excluding the one person who provided me the chats between you and them, of which we (you and I) discussed. I did not leave the sim, based on that chat transcript alone, but the subsequent actions on your part towards me; especially when you stated that this was a mistake. Each passing day I see what you say about me only re-enforces this.

You claim I am a man, and I am not. I do not have to validate myself to you or anyone else, I owe no one anything. I am thankful that I did not send you more photos of me or call you, because then I would be dealing with you in real life. This shows that my precautions are justified. Regardless, these points can be taken:
1. If I am a girl, I know that no woman should be treated like the way you treated and are treating me and others.
2. If I am a man, and if I had daughters, I would never want them to be around a person like you.

I had no idea you were hunting me down in OS and I ask you to stop. I want no part in you or your grid/sim. I do not seek to undermine you, your grid, or sims, plain and simple. I am just not a part of it and it will thrive or fail on your own merits. Please leave othergrid/sim owners alone and swim in your lane.

Even if I left and never logged in again, as I stated to you prior to my departure, you and your actions alone will be the success or failure of your grid (with or without me). You are smart about running a server and scripting, but I have to give you poor marks with regard to your personal interactions with people and conspiracies you have formulated in your head.

You should also ask yourself, why would Jamie risk all her friendships and waste all her time collaborating with some one to build a sim to make it successful only to work behind the scenes to make it fail? Additionally, to answer the question you had about me..and you should have already had the answer. WHy have I not been myself lately? Well when you have someone close to you going through some medical issues, it can wear on your mood as you worry and contemplate life without them. OS Was kind of an escape from reality.

So in the next few days I will weigh the following and decide whether my time in OS is over:
1. I came to play, meet people and have fun. AM I still acheiving/enjoying this?
2. Is any of this worth the nonsense? I can trade the time I spend here for days on a real beach in a snap.


I want to thank those people that had reached out to me and offered me a sim, a home, land, etc etc. I appreciate the offers and I have declined them. I only offer my opinion on your sims design, thats it. I look forward to stopping by and enjoying your designs.

I just want to be me.

Teleporting Issues?

I just became aware of a major flaw with firestorm and the solution that is on the Firestorm download page. I have been unable to TP unless I relog for last 3 days. After much research I realized this was a Firestorm SLURL issue.

Go to the firestorm download page and you will see the above information.

I have not changed my viewer settings or added any new viewers; but it appears some upgrade (probably windows) caused the SLURL function in Firestorm to no longer work properly.

As I follow up....I am teleporting perfectly now after installing this.

I am encosing the notes from firestorm :

What is this ?
SLURL Proxy is an application that will handle SLURLs on your Windows system. Clicking a SLURL on the web,
will open SLURL proxy, which will forward the SLURL to the viewer you have chosen.

Why is that interesting ?
Various Second Life viewers you might, or may already have installed, modify the way SLURLs are handled on your system,
and often cause problems when you uninstall certain viewers.

SLURL Proxy provides a user friendly way to correct this.

Upon start up, SLURL Proxy will check to see if it's the default SLURL handler.
If it is not, it will inform you about that, and ask you if you'd like to use SLURL Proxy as default instead.

When you have set SLURL Proxy as default,(or even before that) you can simply drag one or more viewer shortcuts onto the application window,
and they should be listed with viewer name, and icon.

SLURL Proxy allows you to add several viewers, and one always needs to be the default viewer to use.
The default viewer is the one where the checkbox is checked.
If you would like to change the default viewer, simply click the viewer of your choice in the list.

That's it.

If you wish to set a viewer as default SLURL handler instead of SLURL proxy, then you simply need to click
Set other SLURL handler in the menu, and drag the shortcut of your favourite viewer onto the window.

Requires .NET 3.5 and only runs on Windows

Let's talk about child avatar criteria for a moment.

This is Juno, my little in-world sister. Little as in one year younger. What she's wearing is something she isn't too unlikely to wear these days. It's still quite chilly outside after all.

Those of you who know her won't doubt that she's a grown-up woman. But there's a whole lot about her that may qualify her as an underage avatar. I'm not even joking.

Yes, on the one hand, protection against paedos and their unlawful ageplay is a necessity; see also Safine's most recent post: https://opensimworld.com/post/108176

On the other hand, paedos are trying to circumvent countermeasures. Add to this the most recent drama about Lindens being directly involved in sexual ageplay in Second Life.

As a result, sim owners ramp up their countermeasures. This goes well beyond more and more sims redefining the Adult rating as "G-rated, but no child avatars allowed". It's likely that the signs that an avatar is underage will be "upgraded", too.

And the wide-spread anti-underage paranoia has made them absolutely ridiculous quite a while ago already. There's so much that could qualify Juno here as a kid.

Let me sum it up.

First of all, her height. The most blatant sign and the only one that triggers auto-bans. She's "only" 1.74m which is 5'8½". Many childgates still run on default settings which ban everyone under 1.80m. And I guess their number will increase as more and more sim owners decide that 1.60m or 1.70m doesn't cut it anymore. I'm pretty sure Juno has fallen victim to childgates twice already.

The other criteria are purely visual.

Her shape is somewhat close to realistic. Her head is about ⅛ of her body height which is actually still a bit small for a real-life woman. By OpenSim standards, however, her head is rather large in comparison with her body height. This reeks of a kid shape.

Next, look at her skin tone. In early April in real life, this is a fairly typical skin tone. In OpenSim, however, grown-ups are basically required to have a deep tan. Even most goths have darker skins than Juno. The only avatars with such light skins are child avatars. Well, and Juno, but if you don't know her, you're easy to take her for a kid because her skin is so light.

Now, look at her face. Look at her lips. No pumped-up boat lips. This is what real-life lips look like, but in OpenSim, the only avatars with such thin lips are either male avatars or child avatars. Since she doesn't have a perma-stubble or a full beard, she can't be the former.

Anything else you notice about her face? Right, no make-up whatsoever. Practically all other adult female avatars out there at least wear lipstick. She doesn't even wear that. Well, sometimes she does, but not here, not now. Makes her look like a kid in comparison.

Speaking of make-up, look at her hands. No nail polish. AFAIK, not a single one of the popular female mesh bodies lets you go without nail polish. Especially Athena doesn't. So basically, if a female avatar doesn't wear nail polish, it's either a classic, mesh-less layer-and-prim avatar from, like, 2007 or a child avatar. And Juno doesn't look like she doesn't have a mesh body.

And her hair? Yes, that's a bob. In real life, it was a rather popular hairstyle in the 1960s. In OpenSim, hair significantly shorter than shoulder length is probably the second-most child-like girl hairstyle right after twin pigtails. As an adult woman, she should be expected to have a long lush mane. I've never seen a single female avatar with Paige hair. Black could be a saving throw because little girls are usually blond, but not necessarily.

Let's continue with her clothes.

She's covering a whole lot of skin, more than almost all other female avatars. Granted, most little girl avatars show a whole lot more skin, too. Just look at those super-short skirts that seem to be a requirement for underage girl avatars. But grown-up female avatars are basically expected to do the same. Thus, covering up makes her look less adult.

So does the rather loose fit of her clothes. Adult female avatars may be allowed to wear long denim jeans, but only of the skin-tight kind. But while Juno's jeans are labelled slim fit, they look rather like something a little boy could wear.

Her pullover gives the impression that she doesn't have a waist. You know what other avatars don't have much of a waist? Good thing she doesn't have a petite body because there's no petite variant of her body, otherwise she'd look almost flat in this pullover. Also, that shade of teal might be questionable at least. It'd be worse if that pullover was pink, but she doesn't have it in pink.

Finally, her footwear. She's wearing flat shoes. Adult female avatars are expected to always walk around on 6" heels. In fact, she's even wearing sneakers. Flat sneakers. Even tip-toe sneakers are questionable, but unless worn by a manly man, they're little girl material.

And if that wasn't enough, she's wearing them with white socks. The only hosiery adult female avatars may wear in OpenSim is nylon stockings, Zettai Ryouiki-style, showing skin on the thighs above. Socks are pretty much exclusively worn by children, so what does that make Juno?

I bet that if Juno wore this to events in places whose owners don't know her, chances are she'd be banned on the spot for being a kid. Good thing her usual party styles are of the kind that causes her to be accused of dressing like a grandma instead.

My latest and probably most difficult memorial build, not that it was hard to do, but that it is a memorial to my very first pet who was so loyal, loving and protective. Wolfie was truly my best friend and to this day I miss him. He was half great Dane and half Siberian Husky and looked very much like a Canadian Timberwolf, hence his name. He was the most adorable puppy and grew into a beautiful and amazing adult dog. His memory will be forever treasured by me, but building the memorial brought a few tears to my eyes, I loved my boy.

Recently I have had a number of people requesting that I allow child avatars at friends-grid and I want to discuss this openly and honestly.

It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved. In this situation, I need to understand the Child pornography laws of not only where our servers are located, but I also had to research and learn the laws of every country we have residents and guests from. We currently have residents from 30 countries and guests from another 35. People who say "laws dont apply " are incorrect on this subject. You may have servers in one country.....but all the laws of your resident's countries come into play also.

A good thing to remember is that because you have gotten away with something for 10 years does not make it legal. You may never get caught....and then again.....somebody with a grudge may turn you in.

I want to point out a recent post by Jerralyn Franzic . Jerralyn showed the cutest childs outfit ever! ....and she also made the wisest statement ...."I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem?" Personally I would love to see kids riding ponies at my farm....and having fun being mermaids. If everyone in child avi were to abide by Jerralyn's statement, there would not be an issue.

However, lets talk about reality. Not all child avis are simply riding ponies and playing in the water. The simple truth is that many (not all) of these child avis are having sex. Some grids use this to boost their traffic. In some countries, including US, the graphic illustration of a child online having sex is 100% illegal. You see, it does not matter if the person behind the computer is 12 or 52......the visual computer generated depiction of a child (child avatar) involved in sex is very illegal in a number of countries. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 Many people will say their countries are different....and this is stupid. I did not make laws........but I need to abide by them. Before people jump on this and criticize me ....I would suggest you read the laws of your country....your servers country...and the laws of all your residents or guests. There are many misinformed people on this subject. I am not saying the laws are right or wrong......but learn the laws.....then comment. You need to learn laws for your servers country...and all your guests countries. This post is not about morals......it is about laws....of all the countries involved.

I have spent over 200 hours reading international laws. Some countries allow things that others do not. However, you have to consider all the laws because of guests.


In closing....do I hate kids and kids avis......nooooooo. I would love to be able to allow them to come to friends grid. However, this is a less than perfect world in which we live, and I have to look at the potential liability of allowing those child avis. Because of that, Child avis are not allowed on friends-grid......no exceptions! I am sad....because there are some wonderful people in kids avis that I do not get to have visit.

Friends-grid is an Adult community and we are looking for adults, with adult avi's who want to make this their main opensim home.

Harmful Paranollas
I'm writing here because they don't even let me defend myself. Today I found out from a friend that a certain Cyberglo says that I am a certain Priscilla. Totally false. Not content with that, he has publicly exposed my IP and named the grids where I stay. Exposing an IP publicly goes against data protection and privacy. I implore this website to remove this information immediately. I don't care about the rest of the crazy article, since nothing is true and I have nothing to fear. He is a harmful being.Excuse my google English. Thank you.

New release....long flowy maxi skirt.
We've got Ruth RC3, Ruth2V4(experimental), Athena, and Decadence HG sizes(I have a legal slink devkit, slink closing in SL makes me sad and nostalgic).

I made it as easy to texture as possible, put a bunch of boho patchwork seamless textures in with it. You can play with the tiling manually. It's got materials to look a bit tweed-ish.
Have fun with it and textures....don't sell, don't put it on SL, don't say you're original creator.

Likely the last new thing until after Christmas!
Long 100% original, legal mesh rigged braids. They come with the usual colour hud (Thank you, Susan von Otto!) but you can of course put any texture you'd like on them. Straight to the point, classic enough to go on modern contemporary outfits or some historical things. The braids, as you can see, do a very cool looking colour mixing thing if you have different streaks in. In the new year I may add compatibility for Susan's original two texture face version. I just haven't decided yet whether to make it "two colours, one for each braid split down the middle part" or "different streaks totally separate mixed together" or both.
Have fun, don't sell or put on SL or take all the credit for it.

It was exceedingly annoying to me that a Linda Kellie dress I really liked had something like a MILLION triangles and shot your avatar complexity to 500K.
I reduced the tri count significantly, until I could do no more without destroying the original mesh. Then I rigged for Ruth RC3 and wore it around my lonely little dreamgrid (my internet sucks, in those days I could see myself but nobody could see, talk to or visit me)(this is why I moved to OSgrid). More recently, I also rigged for Athena with my legal copy of the maitreya dev kit. It's common and there's people that prefer it-who am I to judge?

It's in Mythos now. Has pre made variants with the texture, all my textures included (all black dresses with a different type of tartan on each). Old doesn't equal ugly and usually in opensim if you don't like the "out of style" texture on something you can change it...you can use any LK ruffle bottom texture, any one someone else made with the AO, etc. The original AO map is in the box.
It's a shorter skirt so I put some old bloomers I made, and some stockings from Shinobar Annex in the box as a courtesy.

More hair. This is non rigged because it's short enough to not need rigging...messy double buns with loose strands on the side. It has Suzan Von Otto's very generous hud, but for one face texture only to keep this style simple. 100% legal, original and not pirated mesh. Don't sell, don't put on SL, don't run around telling folks these are your creations.

Getting closer to Christmas, thinking of an old friend. We had a lot of fun racing these. Missing her laughter and personality. We all have some good times here, try and enjoy every moment because people don't last forever. She changed my life in a way she could never have imagined. Here's to old friends at Christmas!
News and updates...
Suzan Von Otto of Klamotto(https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282) messaged me last night to inform me she rigged my hair and made it two material faces, to be distributed freely with the nonrigged version. I will do this- but want to make a good hair hud for it first. Thinking of adding compatibility also with the "Decadence Hair Huds" I see floating around so people have even more choices.

2. I am making the main shops inside more cozy and finished looking. The idea is the newest or most popular things will stay right at the front outside but everything else goes inside eventually. Avatar stuff and hairs will go in "avatar magic" which is shaping into an "alternative sci/fantasy" beauty shop.

3. Just a few months away from new open source bodies and I finally fixed some errors I had with the Ruth2 V3 devkits...I have also legal copies of old maitreya devkit, among others from when I did things in SL. I have a few things I never put on the big grid and can, even for Athena users, because legal stuff for nonlegal bodies can be a "Gateway drug" to more legal content. And the problem isn't just going to go away cold turkey. So I can put my huge supply of "I made this, rigged it, it looks nice, never wore it in SL" on opensim. We'll see how it goes.
A 100% legal, non copybotted , creator made mesh head. Boxed as an avatar base...shape, skin, eyes, head, courtesy Ruth RC3 made BOM. The skins I used a template for in part, according to the creator's license it cannot be transfer-sorry about that. You can of course use any skin or shape you want. Responds to bento animations such as smiling and blinking. No mesh eyes or AO included.

These heads I made from 2019 to 2021- I put a couple up an SL. They were intended as a low ARC, "Wear and go" solution without huds and scripts. I made them first for my partner who just HATES most huds. I sold them for about 400L each. People liked them but I got a lot of bizarre comments like "yeah it's really beautiful and good but I have to stay loyal to Catwa even though I like them a lot"... since opensim people seem more capable of not letting brand loyalty totally dictate their interests, they are better fitted here.

Don't sell, don't tell people you made the mesh, don't put it on SL . Please don't god mod the skin, I legitimately cannot give it transfer, if you need it for your alts bring them all in or message me and I'll just give it to you.

Finally a surfboard rezzer for the public to take home has been released - and a surfboard design kit so you can make your own cool board and use it in the rezzer on your sim (bullet enabled).

When I posted about my newest edition of overwatch sentry with height and age block menu's, it got a lot of negative comments and not one person posted anything good about it. This made me realize it is not a good idea, and I heard you. As a result I have canned that project and deleted the prototype from wizardry and from my inventory. I have schizophrenia, and I have had to learn not to be ashamed and to ask for help is the only way I can get it. But that also means sometimes I do things which are not normal, so I rely on the feedback of you guys to let me know when I've done something a bit odd. Thank you for your feedback, I have heard you loud and clear. :) No more overwatch sentry.

Pagane: Thank you! KISS!!!! 1 years ago
The waves are finally running in the right direction, and the textures are nice totally custom. I need opinions of the surfing action now. Let me know what you think after you come try the waves in world. Thank you!

Small change to OSW home page possible?
Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.
Finally the nudist beach and the resort you were waiting for, where you can have sex in freedom.

Come and spend your holidays or a romantic or sexual weekend in a wonderful atoll on our grid. Use our numerous houses or stilt houses in the middle of the sea, or entertain yourself in our gym to have a session that is not just sporty ;)

----------------------

Finalmente la spiaggia nudista e il resort che aspettavi, dove poter fare sesso in libertà.

Vieni a passare le tue vacanze o un weekend romantico o sessuale in un meraviglioso atollo della nostra grid. Utilizza le nostre numerose abitazioni o palafitte in mezzo al mare, oppure intrattieniti nella nostra palestra per avere una sessione non solo sportiva ;)

Come and live among the vampires and zombies.
Help create a fun environment living with the constant threat from vampires.
The zombies and other NPC's are usually just food for the vampires and you.
You can bite NPC's, and you can bite Avatars.
All is fair when you need the blood.
There is a local shop that I am populating with items handy for survival.

There are 5 large parcels left, all with 5000 prim allowance.
Only grid members can rent a parcel (Free), but anyone can come and browse.
So come and make an account at: https://www.neverworldgrid.com/

note: Please don't come and just make a halloween scene and disappear.

Oggi scrivo perche sono veramente arrabbiata e ritengo che non sia questo il modo in cui si dovrebbe "giocare" nel metaverso .
Troppe invidie , troppe paranoie ...appena entri in una land subito che ti vengono in I.M. per dirti che non si può copiare nulla.......ma non vi sembra di essere tutti un po troppo ridicoli?
Capisco i creatori....ma quelli che gia copiano roba degli altri che vogliono???
E poi diciamocelo quasi tutto quello in open sim è stato "rubato " da second life con programmi non proprio leciti e legali!
Quindi dico rilassatevi...se uno lascia il "copia" non vedo perche non copiare....diverso è se come detto prima si usano programmi non leciti e allora è giusto protestare .
Poi a volte vi dimenticate che questa NON E' LA REALTA'!
Qui non ci si sposa davvero...non ci si fidanza davvero non si va a letto a dormire davvero......VIVETE LA VITA REALE CHE E' MEGLIO!

TO THOSE GRIDS THAT BLOCK US...

There are 7 of us, me who made the grid for the others, and 6 students, who rotate. We don't even change our avatar, we still have the same clothes, skin...

We like to go to the list of new regions to see what people have made new. If you don't want us to go, why advertise them on this site?

If you're afraid we'll rip you off, we dare you to find something on our grid that's not for sale. Even, when there is some special work, we post it and next to it we put a link to your grid (as in the case of Cherry Manga, Flora, Lani...).

We are not your competition in anything, we don't rent regions, we are not interested in users (although they are welcome if they prefer to be here).
As we said in another post, if someone wants something of what we do, ask us, we almost always forget to put it in copy or for sale).

In fact, the Welcome region, we have made it with links to this site and to places that we believe that anyone who comes to Opensim should know, because of their work.

On the other hand, we are disappointed with the people... it is sad, when they pass by you and even if you say hello, you do not receive the slightest sign of friendship. This is what hurts us the most (in our homes we are always forced since we were kids to say "hello" when you arrive and "goodbye" when you leave), indifference is punished with a "scolding".

We are so few and this is the relationship we are looking for... not even a "hello"... but a "don't come closer, I won't let you".

So, after this rambling, I leave you with the image of the endangered species of freshwater fish, which I'm sure we have stolen from Kittely or some similar site :))))

Long live freedom and death to the Troll!!!



DJ Princess Alex is doing a warm up for DJ Henk .... just TP into the ILU Grid and join the fun.

Happy New Year From the (OSG) Nautilus Community

Wishing you all Happiness and Health
Hold onto what is special and let the negative wash out with the tide

My 2022 Christmas gift for the community, at least for the Ruth2 v4 users:

Nail polish for Ruth2 v4.

Two boxes with BoM nail polish in 31 colours altogether. One box contains the 22 original colours from the Ruth 2.0 nail polish applier plus one bonus colour. The other one contains the 8 nail polish colours from the Ruth2 v4 HUD, but now covering the whole nail. Both sets come with a Readme notecard with instructions.

They're currently only available in the Westend (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119) at my R2 shop (at 44/67/22, opposite the Statue of Liberty), but I've passed copies to Ai Austin, and I expect it to appear on the official R2 sim soon. I'll also roll them out to other sims offering Ruth2 v4.

Both boxes are full-perm (or should be; drop me a note if they aren't) and licensed under Creative Commons CC0. You can copy the boxes or buy the content.

Jupiter Rowland: Well, Austin was surprisingly fast. He added both boxes to the official sim (hg.osgrid.80:RuthAndroth) yesterday. 2 years ago
If you have not upgraded to DREAMGRID 5.28 - May I suggest you do? It has many bug fixes, and I have noticed that a LOT OF THINGS seem to work a lot better with 5.28 than with any other version previous. This is amazing! Be sure to thank super-genius Fred for his amazing and awesome work. :)

Marianna : It's an honor to work with you. You have been a great help to me. I appreciate everything you have done for me. My sincerest thanks go to you for all the help you provided. 2 years ago
Whatever we say is a lie is a lie and breaking the rules is a violation. We all know which SIMs are breaking the rules and submitting fake attendance data. We also know why they do it.
I removed their names from here. Only shame remained.
I am ashamed to discuss this matter further.

Thank you for the stones with which you beat me.
================================================





Calm the hysteria!
no one wants you to close regions or stop your work.

I want ONLY and ONLY FAIR GAME!

Is it that hard?

All you know names of SIM with fake visitors list.
Again - i delete shame list.

Excuse me, but it is offensive to me to do this.
I don't know about you, with what impudence and shamelessness you shout that I am driving away the thousands of customers from your overcrowded SIM.
People leave OPENSIM because they go around the beacon popular places looking for PEOPLE and only find bots or abandoned avatars.
No one comes from SL to buy free rags (yes they are lovely!), people want to COMMUNICATE!!!

I know you won't understand me. It's just that you've already closed yourself up in your made-up happiness and don't want to go out and socialize. You can blame me for all your sins. do it! You can post from your dozens of clones created to mimic crowds of supporters.... Ban me, report me, shame me!

And don't shout that someone banned or restricted you! The only one punished in OSW is me, and again because I told the truth that the number of visitors was fake! I confessed and I was punished because the rules are like that!

Want me to delete this SIM and everything on it? OK, but will that erase the lie? Will it bring at least one new user to OpenSIM? Will it remove the six traditionally parked dolls from the new beach party region (yes, yes - the newcomers follow tradition)?

OPEN THE DOOR AND GET OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE.
COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE, NOT YOUR OWN COPIES!

And don't worry, I won't make a new list. It's pointless, it's disgraceful.
P.S. No matter how much you don't like the truth, it doesn't change the facts. No matter how many times you repeat lies, they will not become truth.
You are only spoiling the good impression of your other actions...
