I always like what you gift me ^_^

hey hey - been a bit. Good as it can be, was thinking about you the other day but didn't know how to get ahold of you :D

Shinobar and JOG grid are hosted through the University of Tokyo and currently their under a Typhoon warning and the power may be out in areas. I have friends in Japan that keep me up to date on such things :D

I'm sure if it gets too bad Dan'll ban it from OsGrid also(if he hasn't already). That's the mature way of handling it.

they might need to have the region rebooted. I have to do this with mine every now and then for similar reasons.

Wasn't expecting a reply from the man himself but that's ok, at least you know where my mind was at. The rant was designed to get people to walk up and see the drama being spread around on the front page for what it was. Best way is a healthy bucket of truth. It's direct and does not discriminate, and I won't apologize for it. Since we've shifted the topic a bit, I'd have to agree. I'd rather have folks on either OSG or GCG. Both are very here for the community but have different approaches to it. People get upset with whatever it is their doing and think they can run their own grid, only to whine later when they can't. Personally I'd put server operatorship behind a form if their going to strike out on their own, would nip it in the bud.

In regards to the other thing, true or not, I wouldn't want hypergriders coming onto my site and spread drama everywhere for shock value. Any new person that comes to the site and sees that will turn around and go back where they came from. They want to dump their drama, it goes here - it's what the section was designed for. It takes a new kind of special to purposely avoid this section to air whatever drama people feel is right for shock value. You'd think if there was any truth to it, there'd be evidence of it. I haven't seen any. Talking about the inventory flooding, not the copyboting. Everyone copybots. It's why the major players won't leave SL - it's still a security risk. I still retain my thoughts that any grid owner that uses admin tools for personal gain is stupid and should hang up their grid. Anyone that uses admin tools to benefit their community should be praised. The difference is the intent. The same goes for copyboting: if you bot for personal gain you deserve to have your pc stricken from OpenSim. Again, all in the intent.

And yes, there are still dependencies in Opensim code. A major one is called LSL. Devs started to get this right with OpenSim specific calls but haven't developed any further ones. Another is mesh, winch still hasn't been perfected. It's not as broken as SL's mesh, but it is still based on and uses code from it(it's why whenever SL updates something in the mesh, OpenSim is the last to get anything out of it). The environment as a whole is a major one. Anyone that comes to OpenSim and says 'this is a SL clone' is proving the point. The bigger point is going back to what I was saying earlier about changing OpenSim: we see the same environment but don't want to change it because it's what we know and trust. Doesn't mean pointing out what it is, is any less.

That said, my points and directness are here to dispel drama with truth. Don't get me wrong, I'm very much for a open virtual environment that gets people involved to bring out their creative sides. Drama's dangerous. Drama turns a happy person into a lunatic. I stick by my points.

everyone is

overpriced anyhow

woo! thanks for replying, I appreciate it ^_^

oh yeah i wasn't trying to knock it, I was just curious :D I think everyone that ventures out into Opensim should run their own mini grid first to get their feet wet.

That's most unfortunate news, my condolences.

It's because Sacrium doesn't meet the rules of OSGrid. If you don't follow the rules, you won't have access. Simple as that.

I've reluctantly decided to keep things as they are as I notice I have issues when OSGrid updates, and updating myself fixes it. When it comes to HG transfer, it's dependant on the hosts internet. If your server is on your home network and your net isn't up to snuff or the grid you're trying to HG to is having asset issues or other issues, you might not get everything.

I've never ran into the issue myself so it's more of a guess then anything.

yeah unfortunatly there's no way to tell how many of that 36,648 are actual people and how many are bots since bots register as a person in SL

I did think of that, also thought about the in-world database but I don't think I could use that to send and receive over hypergrid. I'll have to experiment.
