Ok... just looked through some of the recent front page posts. I've been here in Open Sim for about nine months now.

I have accounts in OSgrid and Kitely.

I'll have to admit a good deal of my wardrobe is possibly copybotted. I'd like to know if anyone is willing to send me a list of LM's showing truly original, OS based stuff (aside from Lunaria), I'd appreciate it. Most of my wardrobe is rigged to the Athena body. I also have a small number of Ruth2 takes. For my male alts (yes, I have a few, using the same names that I established for them in SL), I use Adonis and Roth2.

There was a discussion recently that influenced me to write this post. It's located below the post from Luna Lunaria, #92052. I totally understand creators desiring to be compensated for their creations. I have spent a fair amount of L$ to gather some of my clothes in SL. I wouldn't mind paying a few K$ or O$ for some creations on this side of the metaverse, as I think that's quite fair.

Thansk to anyone that can help me out, I appreciate it. I'd prefer that the links be included publicly (instead of PMing me), so other users can find it easily.

The newest ride at the park in New Hope region of Grid Our Dawn. Little mini enterprises and it's a wild ride. And there are plenty of other rides and fun things to do. Misty has been working on the tour train and she's added go carts and bumper boats. There are lots of different rides and a few games to play, even fishing that's fun - boats, swimming and just lots of good clean fun. Blessings!

Hello everyone a new project is coming I am working on. A BDSM college, a place for beginners to learn and experience aspects of BDSM or for advance people to come and help others. there is also a track for pony play. its still under construction and if anyone is good with roads and trees please contact me.

Freshly opened! Orbit City in Neverworld!
Created by Rik Sullivan, Govega Sachertorte and Nexus Storm.

Come check out our Jetson's themed sim and learn why builders love Neverworld. Tons of space to fly about or pick up some related freebies.

Create an avatar here for your forever home. http://hg.neverworldgrid.com:8002/

Thank you to those who stop by and ask for a copy of this Abandoned .oar file While I appreciate the compliment and that you would like to have a copy, I cannot give an exact copy of Abandoned because many of the items were purchased and I would be defeating their purpose since they are still selling the builds on Kitely.

I have, however, placed a box of "Western Town items" some I created and there are other items including a few Linda Kellie western builds and I also added the gunslinger animesh avatar that Fred Beckhusen animated for us, thank you Fred. As I find cool western things I will add it to this box it is in the General Mercantile free. Thank you again for asking me to share this Sim, I love it too.

So this post was left on one of my regions and is fairly representative of the mindset original opensim creators will grapple with if they want to sell their products here:

"It looks nice but I like the whole sharing is caring idea. So many places in OS that offer free stuff. Not here, too bad."

I don't blame this shopper at all for wanting to find quality items for free - who doesn't? I was grateful that they visited in the first place and cared enough to leave a comment. It's for that reason that from time to time I do exactly that - offer most of my stuff for free as I did this past OSFest.

No, the ones that make life for opensim creators difficult are those freebie mills continuously churning out stolen content from Second Life and calling it 'sharing', and who aggressively push the idea that merchants in opensim have no right to exist.

As I replied to this user: Sharing is truly caring only if it's the original creator giving it away free, or if they have explicitly given permission to others to do so. And that only works if they don't have to pay for their regions, which is not the case for me.

My region costs average $20 per month per region, and the money I make from sales covers that most of the time. There are months I take a loss with my opensim stores (my Second Life store has never posted a loss in 14 years). But because sales do cover most of my rent I can keep doing what I love: making original content for Opensim.

Paying for regions of course is my choice - I prefer to be on well-run grids that truly respect creators rights. I know that you can easily find quality items for your regions for free all over opensim, so no one is more grateful than me when you choose to purchase at my stores :-)

Gobbledygook
"That's Greek to me" is an English saying about communication that is difficult to understand. But what do they say in Greece in that circumstance? If a resident of Greece says, "That's Greek to me", then other Greeks will say, "well thank goodness, that's just great!"

What is said in Greece is "this seems to be gobbledygook". That's the name of this outfit. I replaced the textures of the top and pants with one of words that are incomprehensible. Why? επειδή μπορώ να πω!

The outfit also includes the original black top and pants. It's found in the Duality shop, where you can get outfits in any color you want, as long as its black and white. Visit the whole region if you like. (Set World to Shared Environment). Aether: a floating world of black, white, shadows and wild sky. grid.copykat.ovh:12000:Aether

One of the reasons I love Wolf territories - nearly all regions are connected to each other, and there are tons of them. This is from my newest store region under construction, and this view is looking west toward one of the several large mountains you can find across the grid that are not mesh - they are actual terrain. I could literally fly from here all the way to the other side of the grid. The venue in the photo is the Victorian Club that will be ready for sale soon.

Our Space Needle with elegant restaurant will be now our tourist attraction on the sim. From here you can see all on our 5x5 sim in every edge also in detail. The tower is located exactly in the middle at 640/640 and the view is fantastic. Even if you have a slow computer or usual one from supermarket and not a gamer computer then it is worth to put on your graphics to ultra and 1024 draw. Here you just need to turn and not to walk so much and can see all. The building up of assets is fast on Daddy's server. So it is possible then to see from here with your older computer all in detail. We work on a tourist sight seeing tour with ship that is working for older computers also. The speed of the ship won't be that high so that your computer has enough time to build up. But you will have to take your time then. The 5x5 sim is really big. I calculate a sight seeing tour with stops and explanation with Ponygirl Cart or car about 2 hours. For the ship sight seeing tour we have calculated only 3 places to stop but will take time too. Will be similar. The advantage with ship will be, beside not get caught with relay when you wear a collar lol, but foremost to get a view on the coasts that gives a completely other impression than with car driving on land. Especially when the ship starts at promenade you think first you enter Vancouver Island or similar and will end at California with beach. You don't drive the 101 lol But the different impressions of the 101 you will get from coast sides.

The E grid is off and on during the Monsoon season ( we are in the Desert Southwest) -

we're having a humdinger of a storm right now so we close it down out of an abundance of caution.

Be back up soon :)

I packed today a biiiiig BDSM tool&furniture box. There are old (some even with poseball, but still good) and new things you will like. If you are Starter, then you get here with this box all you can begin with. Of course, not RLV clothes and collar and cuffs. This you get in the Fetish Factory shop and on Torture ship separated. But I would say all other essentials as kind of standard, one want to have in OS and would look after like silly to get each item. Here you get it in a biiiig box. These are all collected for black BDSM. We work on similar for ABDL and white BDSM that works perfect with scripts and animations in OS. So there will be three starter biig boxes in time.
(All with copy and transfer, of course. Sharing is caring is our philosophy)
