Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!
Apologies for the inconvenience!
Aurora

JUST A REMINDER, THIS WEEKEND—there’s a massive virtual festival coming up called WolfFest 2026! It’s hosted by the Wolf Territories Grid on October 3rd and 4th, and it’s basically a huge celebration to show off all the cool regions and creative stuff their community has built. It kicks off at 8:00 AM Grid time, and they have a ton of stuff planned: Live Music: There's going to be DJs spinning tracks. Dancing: High-energy spots to just hang out and dance. Lots of outdoor adventure and unique areas to explore. If you want to come by, you just hit up this link: http://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/WolfFest%202026/30/25... You can also check out the Wolf Territories tent if you want to get more details beforehand. Definitely mark your calendars, it’s going to be a blast!

identity verified by microsoft we release a new version of Peepski screenshot / video capture tool properly signed. should theoretically be easier to install :) smartscreen will likely still complain a little AFAIK microsoft doesn't green light until there have been a gadzillion installs. but that's my memory could be froggy.
Gyazo is maybe back up? there's now a note about the hack and says service will be unavailable with an update to be posted sept 29 however it looks like the service _may_ be functional now? i haven't tried.

🎤 Seeking Volunteer Singers for WolfFest 2026 — October 3rd & 4th

WolfFest will run both days beginning at 8 AM grid time, and we are currently looking for Singers who would like to volunteer their talents for this special weekend event.

WolfFest is a volunteer‑based festival, and no payment is offered for performances. We are simply gathering performers who love music, community, and sharing their gift on stage.

If you’re interested in participating, please contact Bonnie Parker, Tessa Lacombe, Passion Jumanji or Xenon Darrow on Wolf Territories to receive or return your performer application.

We would love to have you be part of WolfFest 2026!

🚛 NEW PHYSICS DEVELOPMENT AT OPENSIM NETWORK 🚛
We’ve been hard at work improving our truck hitch physics system inside OpenSim Network — and the results are looking better than ever.
Our updated system now delivers:
✅ Smooth trailer following
✅ More natural turns
✅ Improved hitch connection behavior
✅ Realistic jackknife motion
✅ Better overall truck + trailer articulation
This is another step forward in our mission to build a more advanced OpenSim experience focused on vehicles, gameplay, physics, and immersive interaction.
At OpenSim Network, we’re not just building regions — we’re building systems that bring movement and realism to life.
More developments are on the way as we continue testing and refining Nexa Physics for future vehicle experiences across the grid.

Dear Friends,

I have planned this day for weeks. I have made a description without personal details.
I am preparing a set out of my music collection that is a bit of a wild mix and ride through different styles of music.
Feel free to jump in anytime. I know there are lots of other parties going on.
If I could I would love to visit them also...


􀀁 - your space shuttle


􀀂 - the turning wheel


􀀃 - the witch

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

Mabon Celebration
The animals on my picture:
🐘 The Elephant — Memory, Wisdom, Abundance

The elephant represents memory, life experience, strength, and community . In your image, it feels like a large, calm protective presence in the background.

That fits Mabon particularly well:

We look back at what has grown and acknowledge what has carried us.

The little sign hanging from the elephant is also interesting:

FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

This almost turns the elephant into a guardian of your three central values .

🐆 The Black Panther — Strength, Independence, the Unseen

The panther brings a completely different energy: instinct, self-determination, inner strength, and the ability to move through darker phases .

It is lying there calmly. It does not need to prove anything.

That fits beautifully with the transition from the light half of the year into the darker season:

Not everything has to be fought. Some things are allowed to return to the darkness.

🐺 The Wolf — Community and the Individual Path

The wolf is particularly interesting because it represents both community and individuality .

It belongs to the pack — while remaining an individual creature.

That connects directly with your word:

COMMUNITY

Mabon is also a celebration of sharing, community, and gratitude for what has been created together .

🧸 The Teddy Bear — The Inner Child

The teddy bear is, of course, not a Celtic symbol historically. But within your personal image , it serves a different purpose.

It represents:

comfort
security
vulnerability
playful creativity
the desire to protect something precious

And that creates a beautiful contrast with the large, wild animals.

The woman is holding the bear for a reason : between the panther, wolf, and elephant there is something remarkably gentle.

👩 The Woman in the Center

Actually, she is the connecting element.

She sits between:

Panther – Bear – Wolf – Elephant

and therefore between instinct, vulnerability, community, and wisdom .

That makes the image much more interesting than simply a “fantasy autumn scene.”

🍂 And the Fruits in the Foreground?

The pumpkins, apples, grapes, nuts, and grain are actually the clearest Mabon references for me:

Harvest → Abundance → Gratitude → Sharing → Transition

And that is why your subtitle

LAST FAMILY MEETING

works so well: it transforms the scene from merely an autumn celebration into a kind of last gathering together before the changing of the season .

The symbolism of the whole image

If we read the entire image as a symbolic language, it could be summed up like this:

🐘 Remember
🐆 Be strong
🐺 Belong
🧸 Stay tender
🍂 Give thanks
🔄 Turn the wheel

That, in my view, is the stronger interpretation than trying to assign supposedly “original Celtic” meanings to every animal.

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


The turning wheel of animals:

🐘 Der Elefant – Erinnerung, Weisheit, Fülle

Der Elefant steht für Erinnerung, Lebenserfahrung, Stärke und Gemeinschaft . In deinem Bild wirkt er wie eine große, ruhige Schutzfigur im Hintergrund.

Das passt besonders gut zu Mabon:
Wir schauen zurück auf das, was gewachsen ist, und erkennen an, was uns getragen hat.

Interessant ist auch das kleine Schild an ihm:

> FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

Damit wird der Elefant fast zu einem Hüter deiner drei zentralen Werte .

🐆 Der schwarze Panther – Kraft, Unabhängigkeit, das Unsichtbare

Der Panther bringt eine völlig andere Energie hinein: Instinkt, Selbstbestimmung, innere Stärke und die Fähigkeit, durch dunklere Phasen zu gehen .

Er liegt sehr ruhig da. Er muss nichts beweisen.

Das passt hervorragend zum Übergang vom hellen zum dunkleren Teil des Jahres:
Nicht alles muss bekämpft werden. Manche Dinge dürfen einfach in die Dunkelheit zurückkehren.

🐺 Der Wolf – Gemeinschaft und eigener Weg

Der Wolf ist besonders interessant, weil er gleichzeitig für Gemeinschaft und Individualität steht.

Er gehört zum Rudel – und bleibt trotzdem ein eigenständiges Wesen.

Das passt zu deinem Text:

COMMUNITY

Mabon ist schließlich auch ein Fest des Teilens, der Gemeinschaft und der Dankbarkeit für das, was gemeinsam entstanden ist .

🧸 Der Teddybär – das innere Kind

Der Teddybär ist historisch natürlich kein keltisches Symbol. Aber in deinem persönlichen Bild erfüllt er eine andere Funktion.

Er steht für:

Trost
Geborgenheit
Verletzlichkeit
spielerische Kreativität
das Bedürfnis, etwas Wertvolles zu bewahren

Und genau dadurch entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zu den großen, wilden Tieren.

Die Frau hält den Bären nicht zufällig in den Armen: Zwischen Panther, Wolf und Elefant befindet sich etwas ausgesprochen Sanftes.

👩 Die Frau in der Mitte

Eigentlich ist sie das verbindende Element.

Sie sitzt zwischen:

Panther – Bär – Wolf – Elefant

und damit zwischen Instinkt, Verletzlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Weisheit .

Das macht das Bild viel interessanter als eine bloße „Herbst-Fantasy-Szene“.

🍂 Und die Früchte vorne?

Die Kürbisse, Äpfel, Trauben, Nüsse und das Getreide sind für mich sogar der eindeutigste Mabon-Hinweis:

Ernte → Fülle → Dankbarkeit → Teilen → Übergang

Und genau deshalb funktioniert dein Untertitel

> LAST FAMILY MEETING

so gut: Es macht aus der Szene nicht nur eine Herbstfeier, sondern tatsächlich eine Art letzte gemeinsame Zusammenkunft vor dem Wechsel der Jahreszeit .

Wenn man das ganze Bild als Symbolsprache liest, könnte man es so zusammenfassen:

> 🐘 Remember
> 🐆 Be strong
> 🐺 Belong
> 🧸 Stay tender
> 🍂 Give thanks
> 🔄 Turn the wheel

Das ist meiner Meinung nach die stärkere Interpretation als zu versuchen, jedem Tier eine angeblich „original keltische“ Bedeutung anzudichten.

LinkUp Grid — Connecting People, Places & Possibilities!
10am. Two hours. One great place to BEE!

Hello all, today in the Neverworld grid: we will sail a battle today at Noon 12.00 PM. When you travel to the Catronian Archipelago sims : you will see a landmark giver at the docks ( Stormrunner Sea Battle ) so you can get a TP to the battle seas. Or join our group ! See the website : https://catronian.jouwweb.nl/ All welcome !

After a lot of work and testing, the new NewLifeItaly Viewer for Windows is finally available, created specifically for our grid.

This is not the usual Viewer that needs to be configured. It is already set up exclusively for NewLifeItaly, with our name, our icon and direct access to the grid.

The main new feature is the integration of Cam and Microphone directly inside the Viewer. A single button opens a narrow sidebar that does not cover your avatar or obstruct the view of the land. The camera and microphone can be activated separately, while the webcams of avatars in the same region are displayed vertically with scrolling.

We now have a Viewer designed to make NewLifeItaly even more complete and engaging, without requiring external programs.

The project will continue to grow with new features developed specifically for our grid.

Two new tools are now available directly from the simulator management page:

💬 Send region message
Send an instant alert to everyone currently connected to the region.

✏️ Rename region
Change the region name directly from ManagerSim. The new name is saved safely in the region configuration and becomes active after the simulator is restarted.

🔒 Both features respect your existing simulator permissions and security rules.

🌐 https://regions.bloodmoonpack.com/ManagerSim/

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

🛠️ BloodMoon ManagerSim – Nouvelles fonctionnalités

Deux nouveaux outils sont maintenant disponibles directement depuis la page de gestion du simulateur :

💬 Envoyer un message à la région
Envoyez une alerte instantanée à toutes les personnes actuellement connectées sur la région.

✏️ Renommer la région
Modifiez directement le nom de la région depuis ManagerSim. Le nouveau nom est enregistré de manière sécurisée dans la configuration et devient actif après le redémarrage du simulateur.

🔒 Ces deux fonctions respectent les droits d’accès et les règles de sécurité déjà en place.

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

Gosh, I hate to do this... Many of you want to hang on to your V6 viewer and never let go. Luckily we have an option still available.

After making some upgrades for the season and utilizing new features in the V7 viewer, I made an interesting discovery. Dismayland is no longer supporting snowglobe (singularity, coolvl) type viewers. Moreover, snowstorm (firestorm, alchemy) type viewers compiled against V6.15 or older are also incompatible. These types of viewers are unable to pass touches through objects with the 'ignore' flag applied to them.

This is a feature I have wanted since I started building! Now I can have a soup of dense fog with elements people can interact in. These things were impossible before FS v6.16.

The Season of Tribute has JUST BEGUN. The MAIN EVENT is coming towards the END of OCTOBER.
