OSFest 2026 Presents: Hosting for OpenSim!

Thinking About Hosting Your Own OpenSim Grid?

Join Josh Boam of Hosting4OpenSim for an informative presentation exploring the world of OpenSim hosting!

Whether you're just getting started or looking to expand your virtual world, this is a great opportunity to learn about hosting options, ask questions, and discover new possibilities!

Wednesday October 21, 2026 & Thursday October 22, 2026

10 AM - 12 PM Grid Time Q & A Live with Josh (LIVE)

Location: OSFest - 2026 – OSF_N_Expo

We have been taking the GREED out of OPENSIM since 2015. Anyone who tells you that they sell regions to keep you safe, are just looking for sales. We NEVER pressure anyone to buy land, we have our self hosting package here: Sign up here https://neverworldgrid.com/self-host-regions-on-neverworld...

The move to the new grid will begin over the weekend (October 24/25). If everything goes according to plan, you are all cordially invited to visit the new grid—which will still feature the familiar Gummybear Island—starting Monday, October 26.
If you would like to join the new group ahead of time, you can do so here.

Am Wochenende (24/25.10.) wird der Umzug ins neue Grid starten. Wenn alles gut läuft, seit ihr alle ab Montag den 26.10. herzlich eingeladen im neuen Grid, aber dem alte bekannten Gummybear Island vorbei zu schauen.
Wer vorher schon in die neue Gruppe möchte, kann sich diese hier holen.

Dear campfire dancers and music lovers,

Coming Soon: REDLIGHT COCK-TALES – THE BLACK BOOK

A satirical look behind the scenes of a glamorous club scene, featuring stories about power, rumors, loyalty, and the little and big secrets of nightlife.

What is merely a façade, what is fiction, and what is left to the reader’s interpretation?

A story about human weaknesses, grand ambitions, and the question of how far some people are willing to go for success.

Sometimes, fiction is more intriguing than any supposed truth.

Disclaimer: This is a satirical work of fiction. Characters, actions, and events are presented as literary creations. Any resemblance to real persons or actual events is unintended and should not be interpreted as a statement of fact.

It’s not Sunday, but apparently DJ Jim doesn’t need an excuse. 🤠🎶
It’s cold and yucky outside, we’re hanging out at the Smash, and Jim decided to fire up the music. So consider this an unscheduled, informal set happening right now! Come dance, hang out, try your luck on Buck Eye the mechanical bull, or just pull up a chair and enjoy the music. Country is home base, but Jim has a pretty broad playlist, so you never quite know what might turn up. Everyone is welcome. Come as you are and stay as long as you like!

And yes, the poster says Sundays 4–6 PM. That’s his regular slot. Tonight is a bonus. 😉

Experience the legendary allure of the silver 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder - faithfully recreated in every detail in the Ruritania region on OSGrid. Inspired by James Dean's iconic "Little Bastard," this fully interactive, two-seater replica features the complete 1955 livery, complete with race number 130. Climb in, and experience a piece of automotive history! https://ruritania.netlify.app/spyder.html

Lieber Tomi,

ich hoffe, es geht Dir gut auf Deiner Reise.

Du warst einer der geradlinigsten und aufrichtigsten Menschen, denen ich je begegnet bin. Leider konnte ich nicht oft an Deinen Events teilnehmen, weil es erneut Missverständnisse über meine Absichten gab.

Das Logo habe ich sehr gerne für Dich gestaltet.

Danke für Deine Freundschaft und für die gemeinsamen Begegnungen. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Du im Himmel bist – denn wenn jemand es verdient hat, dort zu sein, dann Du.

In herzlicher Erinnerung und mit lieben Grüßen von Aphra

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

Dear Tomi,

I hope you are doing well on your journey.

You were one of the most straightforward and genuine people I have ever met. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend your events very often because there were once again misconceptions about my intentions.

I was very happy to create the logo for you.

Thank you for your friendship and for the moments we were able to share. I am sure you are in heaven, because if anyone deserves to be there, it is you.

Remembering you with heartfelt affection and sending you warm regards,

Aphra

new OAR + IAR kiosk. we use wormhole for safe secure large file uploads (we support up to 100GB) . touch the kiosk in the Payments & Support center to upload your Oar or Iar file. You can download a wormhole GUI client or use the command line. Doesn't have to be on the same computer, you just need to enter the Wormhole code and we'll pull it.

Note: only one of each can be uploaded at a time. if you upload a second Oar or Iar it will replace the previous one. So you have to wait until it is loaded on grid if you have more files to upload.

To those in OS Grid that have a rental here, when you migrate to a new grid. Send me a message in world of what land number you had and your os username. I will reset it so your new avi can re rent it. or you can refund it and then have the new avi rent it.

What an unfortunate turn of events. I have many fond memories of OSgrid. One must wonder who would stand to gain from this act of turpitude against the TEST BED of Opensim. Yet another attack on the open nature of Opensim. Now I expect grids to start restricting oar and iar access...

This news is very saddening and the community is behind you.

Thank you OSgrid for your service!

**FLUFFY AIR™ — Powered by Flying Brick™**

Welcome to FLUFFY AIR™, the official airline of the Moushouverse!

What started as a flying brick has become a living airport in the Open Grid — with autonomous aircraft, helicopters, a control tower, a runway and our very own mascot, Lucky the fluffy airport cat.

Our planes take off, fly their routes, return home and land automatically. Sometimes gracefully. Sometimes like a brick with ambition.

No passengers were harmed during development. Boo is still checking the statistics.

Built with imagination, scripting, experiments and a healthy disregard for the words "That's impossible."

**FLUFFY AIR™**
Where imagination gets its wings.
