Thank you for helping us track the notorious and very dangerous PRISCILLA KLEENEX. Here at the special grids investigation center in langley, virginia, we've set up a special team to help find this MOST WANTED criminal! Our computer command center runs non stop 24/7/365 supplying leads to Local Enforcement Officers in the grids to eviscerate this highly obnoxious and extremely mischievous individual. The G.I.S. plans to put an end to this monkey business once and for all! God Bless America!

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.

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 :-)

Just visited SL and looking through the very first jewelry I created. This set is in gold but I brought in the ring, made it silver. It is in the foyer at the store This set had a pendant and earrings, I will work on bringing those in too soon. This was a blast from the past to see this!! continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Amoa Nude Beach has been re-opened.

No one was banned, but due to all the issues and repercussions related to emotionally disturbed idiots griefing regions and grids over the past couple of weeks, changes made across grids caused issues with performance at Amoa Nude Beach.

To slow the influx of so many IM's letting me know the beach was a lag monster crawling at a massively slow pace, I shut the region down until it was resolved.

All group members were sent a notice regarding the issue, however if the half that would actually read it, may have never received it.

Again, our apologies for the inconvenience and much thanks to grid owners Huga and Gabe of Barefoot-Dreamers grid as well as Fred Buckenhausen for his assistance as well in improving the performance and helping restore the best and only nude beach on the hypergrid.

On May 4th, Season Two of the reborned HG Safari kicked off in region Novale (hg.creanovale.ca:8052:NOVALE). As usual, Thirza Ember published a nice blog entry describing the visit in details with many pictures. Read it at: https://shorturl.at/kpqMS . Second stop was at the impressive Abyss Observatory in Japan.

Beautiful Mutants
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two daughter cells, which are usually identical. However, mistakes happen. Well, my one region Xinashi has now divided into three regions, each different. Très troublant! My regions are mutants! But what beautiful mutants they are.

Almost all of what was the singular Xinashi has been redesigned. I think you are going to like the changes. Come visit all the old but now renewed attractions: oh HELLO, Sol Et Luna Dance, Treehouse Park, the Rocket Club, Strictmore Academy, the BDSM Warehouse, Sparta Gym, the Eagle LBGT Dance Club, Eros Yoga Center, and the deeply strange Dead-End Drive-In.

Xinashi is now Xinashi, Xin2 and the Eros Yoga Center. But wait! There's more. Use the teleporter board to visit our sister region, the wonderfully unusual Aether.

Herzlich willkommen beim Pangea Osterhunt 2022
Es gilt 7 + 1 Ei zu finden, also eigentlich 8, aber das 8. ist ein wenig tricky ...

Welcome to our Pangea Easter Hunt 2022
There are 7 + 1 egg to find (actually 8 eggs) but the 8th one is a little bit tricky ...

Another release today. Just some small garden mushrooms.

You never know when you are going to need some fungi, pretty on the ground and tasty in the frying pan.

These come in two texture variations, just plain shrooms and some that have red spotted caps. The textures are included inside "garden mushroom 1" in order for them to travel better for HG users.

They are located just as you go into the fantasy section at the shop.

Have a great day!
