The Phantom of the Forums


A shadow lurks with many a face,
A master of disguise, yet leaves no trace.
Posts appear like ghosts in the night,
Burying truth, dodging the light.
One name? Two? Perhaps even three—
A puppet dangles, yet claims to be free.
Echoing loudly, drowning the room,
Spreading division, sowing the gloom.
No regions to share, no art to create,
Just endless chatter, laced with hate.
Hijacking boards with a flick of the key,
Yet pretending to be part of "we."
But riddles unravel and masks grow thin,
A hollow voice cannot truly win.
For those who build, who craft, who dream,
Will always rise, while shadows scream.
So let the puppets dance and play,
Their tangled strings give them away.
We see, we know, and we stand tall—
Truth and creation outshine them all.

Hello I am Pixie. I am a < new oldie > or < old newbie > in Opensim. 😁
I was owner of < Pixel 3D > before I left Opensim a few years ago.
I am very happy to be back and thank everyone for the warm welcome. 😘A lot has changed while I've been away. I have to find my way around again. 🤔

Unfortunately, I can no longer manage to set up my own store. But I am planning a photo exhibition on the subject of “Original and fake - what would an Opensim snapshot look like in real life?”

The two pictures above are a first AI attempt with my profile picture.

At the moment I have returned to Kitely as a homeless person. Unfortunately, it's not worth having my own region as I can only spend very little time in Opensim. 😢 But maybe I'll move back to OSGrid when their technical issues are fixed.

I'm very excited about all the people I'll meet here in the future. 😊❤️😍
Have a nice evening.

hugs, Pixie

The Witches Hud - New Release - Fixes: For some reason the broom travelled backwards in opensimulator 0.9.2.2. I fixed this. Also the arcane meeting place was phantom even though it wasn't set to phantom. I fixed this too. Get yours here: login.friends-grid.com:8002:Textures Trees, & Scripts at the Wizardry store. :) NOTE: if you try too use arcane spell above 4000 it will kick you out. For some reason you must only cast [Arcane] between 1 and 3999 meters high. It's a limitation of opensimulator. *The huds are hidden at the Wizardry store behind a secret bookcase. :) PLEASE RESET THE SCRIPTS IN THE HUD AND THE ATTACHMENT SO THEY WORK. You may have to take the objects off and wear them a second time to imprint them with your id and start them working. Note: If you cast spells on your friend, please don't harass them. It only works on your land b/c you dont have rights on other peoples lands unless they allow it.

Heute ist wieder "Dream Night" Zeit

Wir freuen uns auf euch

Today is "Dream Night" time again

You can look forward to an evening with romantic love songs, beautiful ballads, and the finest cuddly music.
Finally another opportunity to wear your gala clothes and spend a harmonious dance evening in an enchanting location.

We look forward to seeing you

Hey folks, don't worry any more about outfits breaking. There is now a patch in core Opensimulator code to allow outfits to load correctly without reaking Links from IARs. For the ~ 17% of grids that do not use core 0.9.3.1, or use Linux instead, I posted a one liner SQL for grid owners to fix their broken links in outfits.

DreamGrid will have this patch this weekend and need do nothing except update to the latest 6.02 (Non PBR) or 7.02 (PBR) when I publish it. DreamGrid is about 83% of all known grids over the last six years. (~6x) and will automatically fix old as well as IAR uploads, even in V6 series which is Opensim 0.9.2 ( Non PBR )

Grid owners who know SQL can see http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=9180

Please be aware you need to backup your robust database first!

Come visit Havana @ OMG Twitztid Timez Grid - it's colorful and lots of fun. Walk the streets of Havana, visit the art gallery. Pick up some groceries at the supermarket. Stop at the cafe and people watch and when your done, kick off your heels and dance away at Havana Open Air Club - be sure to pop in and visit the locals close by.

This Memorial celebration is hosted by Mistress Dalgato. I hope you will take the time out of your busy schedules to attend and exchange memories of Trizzy who will be tremendously missed.
Beginning at 2:pm (14:00)grid time ----- grid.myvirtualbeach.com:8002:Virtual Beach Memorial Gardens ---- until approximately 2:20 pm (14:20). After the memorial service in the gardens we will transfer to ---- grid.myvirtualbeach.com:8002:Dagger's Edge ---where we will celebrate the life of Trizzy and I will bring you some of the best tunes from the 60's, 70's and 80's and let's continue in the joy that Trizzy wished for all of us.

Hello everyone, friends!
We would like to inform you that our Mall will be temporarily closed to the public for expansion work. We are making these improvements primarily for you, who have shown us great affection through your messages of support and encouragement.
We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we will reopen as soon as possible.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

The staff at New Life Italy....

Work continues at the Japanese display area under reconstruction at Lunaria Emporium. Added a large torii gate in a central lake. All items are separate and some are free and full perm. Perimeter walls and main gate are next, then I'll start on a larger, more opulent house, revised tea houses, a temple, some additional decor, and a Japanese castle. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get there.

During Christmastime, we pause to take in the beauty and kindness of the season. The spirit of giving inspires us to help those less fortunate or to share simply out of love for humankind. Thank you for giving me your friendship and support. I cherish the laughter we share, your gift of forever smiles makes my season and year bright. Best wishes in the New Year 💗🎄💗

SURVEY ON NEW LOCATION
Hi Starchild Shoppers! Some of you have recently given me feedback in terms of the scattered of the stores - which I was thinking about already.
Question is:
If I were to combine all stores in one region - which LAYOUT would work best for you?
A big mall on ground like @hertha201 's SilverFox Mall? Several TP-connected levels like R. Lion or @Pilar 's Tierra de Volcanes? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!

🎄✨ Bonjour à tous ! ✨🎄
L’esprit de Noël commence à s’installer doucement, et j’ai envie de partager avec vous un peu de cette magie ! 🌟
C’est le moment de se réjouir, de penser à ceux qu’on aime, et de préparer de jolis souvenirs pour la fin d’année. 🎁❤️
Je vous souhaite déjà plein de douceur, d’amour, et une belle dose de féerie dans vos cœurs ! ❄️🎶
Et surtout… n’oubliez pas : Noël, c’est l’occasion parfaite pour illuminer nos vies et celles des autres.

Avec toute ma joie et mon sourire ! 😊
Joyeuses fêtes à l’avance ! 🎅🌟

Well, I couldn't really make a Douglas Fir and NOT decorate one for an old fashioned Christmas, Decorated with gold tinsel and red, white & green plaid bows, old fashioned decorated ornaments and multi colored lights with a big star at the top takes me back to my childhood days. It's free, it's full perm, it's yours to get at our Holidays & Seasons department. Drop in, no through the chimney, and get yours and may it bring you a bright, blessed and Merry Christmas, blessings and much love, Lavia.

:) I am going to be tearing down the Magic Shoppe at Wizardry in the coming weeks. I wish to replace it with a forest, and an elven temple perhaps. So if you want any of the magical items there please get them now, also Savine has copies at her store which is where you will have to go to get the items. I just feel like the area would be better served as a more natural environment for a wizard. Without the old cluttered up shop on the hill.

6 new Xara/LaraX outfits.
tops pants Skirts and Gown
come check it out.

If you havent already picked up your Xara Body, why not? its the fastest growing size body in Opensim. Our body has a great hud that has many perks, such as Auto Alpha, BOM, Working neck Fix so it will fit any head you put on it with little work. We designed a flat nipple so your nipples will not stick through your clothes., and much more.
Hurry Down !!

PAGANE WAS RIGHT!
From the firestorm creators own website, I quote. "There are occasions when a block is probably best for everyone. As an example, we can consider the recent 6.6.16 release, which had the potential to mess up inventory. That needed to be blocked to stop people from “hurting themselves” and causing ourselves and Linden Lab undue support overheads."

Infoabend erfolgreich Absolviert. Vorab einen Riesen Dank an die Organisatoren vom Pangea Grid. Mit viel Aufwand wurde eine echt starke Go Kart Strecke erschaffen die Spaß macht und viel Action bietet. Das fängt bei der Streckenführung an bis hin zur Boxengasse. Time Boards zeigen jedem an wie schnell die Runden absolviert werden. Bei diesem heutigen Infoabend wurde nochmals genau der Ablauf des Rennens welches am 13 Oktober statt findet erklärt. Anmeldungen zum Kart Event müssen bis zum 15.September erfolgen. Ab dem 15.September finden dann die Qualifikationen statt die gleichzeitig zur Startaufstellung erfahren werden können. Wer noch Interresse hat Teilzunehmen kann dies gerne in der Boxengasse machen. Jedes GRID kann 2 Fahrer Anmelden !!!!

Information evening successfully completed. First of all, a huge thank you to the organizers of the Pangea Grid. A lot of effort has been put into creating a really great go-kart track that is fun and offers a lot of action. This starts with the route and goes all the way to the pit lane. Time boards show everyone how quickly the laps are completed. At today's information evening, the exact sequence of the race, which takes place on October 13th, was explained again. Registrations for the kart event must be made by September 15th. Qualifications will then take place from September 15th and can be found out at the same time as the starting grid. Anyone who is still interested in taking part can do so in the pit lane. Each GRID can register 2 drivers!!!!

Some of my favorite dreams are actually nightmares. I have vivid dreams that feel so real, it's like I can hold them in my hands as I wake up screaming! I quickly write them down before they escape me. I’ve read that if you keep a dream journal, after a year, you might see that many of your dreams came true in some way. Having kept dream journals for years, I can confirm this is true for me. I’m a bit psychic, though not enough to win the lottery!
Some of you have shown me bits or given hints of your projects, and I know the results will be epic. This community has incredible talent, and I can't wait to see the art each of you create.
Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery accepts art from novices to established artists, promising to handle your work with care and respect, showcasing it to its best advantage. We believe everyone should have a chance to express themselves, so whether you're new to creating art or a well-known artist, everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and become part of the Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery family.
I’m about to start rearranging the gallery to make way for your amazing art for the fall exhibit. Starting next week, for those working on sculptures, please stop by and see me so we can decide where to showcase your pieces on the grounds. Those creating wall art, please stop by so we can determine the best space to show off your dreamscapes.
I can't wait to meet with each of you. Thank you for being part of the gallery and my journey as an art curator.
Theme:
**Dreamscapes**:
- Art inspired by dreams and surrealism.
- Focus on imaginative, otherworldly scenes.
- Incorporate elements of fantasy and abstract expression.
Any medium, including AI Art, is allowed.
