Hello non-virtual people,
I come to ask for advice.
I have my grid's homepage set up with Joomla, which is old and outdated because the Jopensim module hasn't been updated again (a pity, because the work this person did was wonderful).
I've tried with Wordpress, and it's not going very well either.
I would like it if you could suggest alternatives for the registration and the grid's website. I am already discouraged, thinking I am a dinosaur on the verge of extinction.

Another thing, the other day I made a web viewer for the grid, a shame, it goes too slow and the new generations are about pressing buttons, not following a huge tutorial to be able to download, set up, and enter a Grid (I know it seems easy to you), but they look at me with eyes of "what???"
Has anyone ever tried this before?
Well, I hope for your advice, especially opinions, and I deeply appreciate it.

The Next Hypergrid International Expo is April 19-21. We are building our new program, and you're invited to participate in the Expo Park!
If you want to build a publicity booth for your grid, your region, or your project, come over to HIE Welcome and pick u a copy of the basic booth, to modify according to your needs. Please read the notecard inside the booth for full details, the deadline for Booths is March 15

This Sunday Kimm Starr, Cooper Swizzle and Koshari Mohana will be guests on Inworld Review with Mal Burns and Thirza Ember. We'll be discussing the OpenSim Worlds Fair. Please tune in at 12 noon SLT.
Are you a Grid owner, builder, artist, techie, educator, scriptor, fashion designer or entertainer? Watch the show this Sunday to find out how to get involved.

I say this every New Year, it is the first day of a 365-day Novel, let's write a good one! As I close the chapter on this one, thank you to all those friends who stopped by and inspired me to create, I love you!

We wish you as much time for the new year as the rain drops, as much love as the sun shines and as much good as the rainbow colors.

Hallo ihr Lieben,
das Jahr ist fast zu Ende. Und wieder haben wir die Hälfte aller Vorsätze vom letzten Silvester nicht eingehalten. Ein guter Vorsatz wäre, dass wird das Ende des Jahres ordentlich feiern. Daher steigt im Soul-Grid eine Silvesterparty. Um 20 Uhr geht es los .
Wir freuen uns auf euch

Kaum zu glauben, aber nun liegt das letzte Neujahr schon wieder ein Jahr zurück. Heute ist schon wieder Silvester. Das Jahr ist geradezu an uns vorbei geflogen. Es kommt mir so vor, als ob das letzte Neujahr erst gestern gewesen wäre. Aber nun steht das neue Jahr schon vor der Tür. Ich wünsche euch, das ihr heute einen wunderschönen Abend verbringt. Habt Spaß, feiert das vergangene Jahr und kommt gut in das Neue. Für das neue Jahr wünsche ich euch, das alle eure Träume in Erfüllung gehen, das ihr die Vorsätze, die ihr euch vorgenommen habt, umsetzen könnt und das ihr gesund bleibt. Alles Gute für das neue Jahr!
Eure Nasti

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!! 2024

I have found a way to create an openai chat gpt bot in opensimulator without having to have your own website to host the code, and without using php. What this means is that if you are interested in your own chatbot, you just need to get your api key from openai and come see me, if you already made one in the past just go to their website and delete the old one and make a new one, then save it in a notecard. But if you still have your key in a notecard then just bring that it should still work. At any rate it is now possible to do this in a much simpler way than before, if interested contact me in world. p.s. i lost my friends list due to a grid crash, so just find me at cyberdatastorm.com:8002

New Release: Arcadia's Ghost Telephone

A nice vintage crank telephone you can rez to decorate your house.

If you sit on it, you can ask a question and receive a ghostly answer, just like a magic 8 ball.

But from time to time it'll ring by itself and if you answer you'll get a spooky story...

Read the instructions to know how to operate and a hidden option.

Available at the Main Shop and the satellite store at Wright Plaza.

Happy Friday!
Aaack.-

HG Safari -out there exploring opensim! The past couple of weeks have taken us to a re-creation of dreams, a community in the tropics, an African sanctuary, and an audience with a famous grid owner. Lots to learn and to laugh at ! If you missed our trips, here are the words and pictures

** Urgent Gadget Recall **
Gadget: Covert Security System v 1.06.311
Issue: Can cause teleports to fail to region(s) you defined with incorrect uri
Example: If you want security to teleport intruders to region: grid.example.com:8002:Gaol and in err enter example.com:8002:Goal missing grid. in this example, ANYONE trying to teleport to region will fail due to the robust server reproting the following.
Verifying grid http://grid.covert-gadgets.com.au:8002 against http://covert-gadgets.com:8002
Unable to verify identity of agent Irish Whiskey. Refusing service
This is due to an error you/admin give to teh security system.

FIX: Delete security and restart region or reenter uri into security. restart region. If that fails, restart region and robust.
I prefer you destroy all copies of the security system and wait for me to create a fixed version. I'll report this to opensim dev team as this is a great way for a griefer to hijack a region.

Why is this happening? When you enter a URI the security system requests SIMULATOR DATA with a DATA_SIM_STATUS. No matter what uri you provide, as long as the uri reaches a grid the robust response will be given if region matches. This causes robust to LINK to the region even though the uri is incorrect BUT this will leed to Unable to verify identity of agent USER NAME. Refusing service resulting in no-one able to teleport to region from the region the security is located. Hence, I would say this is a opensim BUg issue. The robust should check uri matches grid uri and reject the request if not a match when a script performs DATA_SIM_STATUS or better still NOT perform an automated Hyperlink to a region when a DATA_SIM_STATUS request is made.

Dear they Crabby,
I'm writing to you today to express my disappointment in the toxic and immature culture that has developed on this site. I am a creative person who enjoys coming here to share my work and connect with other creative people. However, I have found that the majority of the fire conversations on this site are focused on criticizing others and their work. This is incredibly discouraging and has made me feel unwelcome here.
I understand that everyone has different opinions, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and simply being mean. When you constantly focus on people's faults and short comings, you are not helping them to improve. In fact, you are likely making them feel worse about themselves, and it will also do the same to you.
I urge you to stop with the toxic posts and focus on being more positive. This is a creator space, so let's focus on creating! Let's share our work and ideas with each other and build each other up. Let's have fun and make this a place where everyone feels welcome.
If you are unable to be positive, then please log off. There is no need to spread your negativity here.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Creator
P.S. I have linked to a website that provides resources for dealing with toxic behavior. I encourage you to check it out. https://cimhs.com/
I hope you will take my words to heart. I believe that we can create a more positive and welcoming environment here if we all work together.

Lastly, Set boundaries even if it creates guilt. When dealing with toxic behavior, knowing where to draw the line is critical. ...
1. Avoid getting drawn into the drama. ...
2. Talk with them about it. ...
3. Resist trying to fix things. ...
4. Limit your time around them. ...
*5. Above all, ditch the blame.*
