Opensim is so much more than the hatey-whiney folk who so often try to dominate the front page of this site with their pointless drama, and then (which is really low rent) blame their health when they get called on it.
If you're an emotional adult, you may find the following news from around Opensim interesting. We are at the halfway point of this HG Safari season, here are a few recent posts you may have missed.

We welcome you to get lost in the accent maze with towering stone wall that sits at the front the gates of Pendle Castle.

A few weeks later ..

Well I am a little more clear on what's going on and what to do. We're going to look into having Una ( Masala Estates) possibly host E Grid next year, early. I want to do it, believe me.

And for right now, I made a mistake saying E Grid was flat out closed -- its still UP. But all those lagging regions are down, they are still existing, but down. We currently have Paradise up, and all the rental lands. They will, barring weather crap or that sort of thing, stay up!

Thank you to those of you who messaged me and gave reassurances and support!

We love you and hope to return the E to its former State xxx

*** PS if you have a rental with us, please please be sure to renew that rental box :) That tells us who is still there and who isn't !

っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Come share your talent with us or just listen!

~ Sunday 2pm -4pm Grid/PST~

Genre: Open Mic; vocalists, comedians & short story tellers welcome

Dress Come As You Are (PG)

Perfection isn't required. Sing on our House Stream or sing in Local using your voice. Not comfy singin'... sit back, relax, & listen or dance til the cows come home. Either way git-on down here!

Faith just put out some American Flags (C/M) for anyone that wants one. If you want a flag for your country send a notecard to Faith Fromund with your request and contact information.

If the region was closed please try to enter again. Senior Moments are real! I'm sorry

Finding the costumes was so much fun, and our friend Prim Ativ told us where we could find some really nice costumes. Everyone did an amazing job dressing for the "era" of Stag Hollow and they looked amazing.

Working on a V3 (VERSION 3) of the Weather Online System. A friend once reminded me "-What about cities you find on many places with same name?". I was a valid question: V2 script would take one randomly. Now, one can either specify on dialog menu "Springfield, IL,US (Illinois, United States) or insert the latitude/longitude coordinates. Also I made all, I said ALL countries codes available on script so if one select a city, it will show on open chat the full name in English of the country. Still need do some tweaks and test before releasing it.
