My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.

# 🎉 FIRST RELEASE PARTY 🎶

Come and enjoy the music, discover the stories behind the songs, and celebrate this special moment with me. If you like what you hear, I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel and share your thoughts—I look forward to hearing from you!

**Let's celebrate the beginning of this musical journey together!** 🎸✨

Meet the Crystal Moss Wanderer, a peaceful explorer from a bioluminescent jungle world where living vines, gemstones, and ancient forests exist in perfect harmony.

This beautifully crafted wearable avatar is FREE at Gallumbits. Stop by, explore the wonders of the Last Restaurant, Lounge & Ballroom at the End of the Universe, and claim your own Crystal Moss Wanderer from the gift box.

The Crystal Moss Wanderer was intentionally designed as a living forest spirit rather than a humanoid. Her vines, bark, moss, and crystal growths are part of her species, giving her the appearance of nature brought to life. Fantasy creatures don't have to follow human anatomy—that creative freedom is what makes them unique.

Some PRIDE for my AMERICAN FRIENDS.

THE FLACK I WILL GET FOR THIS IS WORTH IT!

I'M A VETERAN. I'M GAY. THERE WAS A TIME I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT.
I KEPT IT SECRET AND I SERVED ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

I BEAR THE FLAG OF THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE ME THE FREEDOM TO BE ME
AND TO SPEAK OPENLY AND FREELY AS I CHOOSE. THAT IS THE PRIDE I CARRY.

THIS KIND OF PRIDE GOES BEYOND POLITICS

IN GOD WE TRUST: STAMPED ON OUR CURRENCY AS A REMINDER AND A WARNING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA 250

Every week it seems we gather to say goodbye to another member of our OpenSim family. We mourn, we remember, and we honor those who helped shape our community.

But every farewell is also a reminder of something we all share: none of us gets out of life alive.

For many, OpenSim is an extension of real life. For others, it is a place to step away from life's worries for a while—to imagine, create, explore impossible worlds, and become someone or something extraordinary.

One of the greatest gifts our departed friends leave behind isn't just our memories of them. It's the regions they built, the scripts they wrote, the avatars they designed, the artwork they shared, the friendships they fostered, and the countless moments they made possible. Every time we visit one of their creations or use something they contributed, a little part of them is still with us.

Imagine if they had never created anything at all. We wouldn't have those places to explore, those ideas to build upon, or those memories to cherish. Their creativity became part of the world we continue to enjoy.

Perhaps the greatest way to honor those we've lost isn't only through memorial posts, but by making the most of the time we still have.

Build that region you've been dreaming about. Finish that avatar. Learn Blender. Write the story. Host the event. Share your imagination. Visit someone's creation. Make a new friend.

Don't spend all your time debating what OpenSim should be or dwelling on what might have been. Spend it creating what it can become.

Our friends who have passed leave us with more than memories—they leave us with a reminder that time is precious. None of us knows how many tomorrows we have.

So create. Explore. Laugh. Inspire. Contribute. Leave something behind that will make someone smile years from now.

Because one day, someone may be walking through a region you built, wearing something you designed, using a script you wrote, or remembering a kindness you showed—and they'll be grateful that you chose to create while you had the chance.

Today DJ Ting brings you a Special Morning Breakfast show, Celebrating Canada Day, Starting at 6am, bringing you 2 hours of fun as we celebrate Canada day, and show our sense of community spirit, all are welcome to come along and celebrate the festivities!

I'm happy to share another wonderful review from NewLifeItaly Grid, where I host my weekly Monday show from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Grid Time. I'm simply too proud not to share it with you all! 🤘🎶

Dear friends,

Last Monday evening, we once again had the pleasure of welcoming an outstanding DJ who, with her remarkable talent, infectious energy, and genuine passion for music, treated us to two spectacular hours of pure Rock Noise.

DJ Yana Dakota captured the audience from the very first notes, creating an atmosphere that was both powerful and engaging. Every song became a journey filled with rhythm, emotion, and adrenaline, inspiring everyone to dance, enjoy themselves, and share in the excitement. Her professionalism, combined with her ability to connect with the crowd and transmit her enthusiasm, made the evening truly unforgettable.

Our nightclub, the most futuristic venue in the Welcome Area, provided the perfect setting for this extraordinary event. Its stunning light shows, spectacular visual effects, and unique design blended seamlessly with the music, creating an experience filled with energy, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

A heartfelt thank you goes to DJ Yana Dakota for her continued support of NewLifeItaly. She is always willing to be part of our events, bringing not only her talent but also her enthusiasm, kindness, and sincere desire to share her love of music with everyone. Her presence is always a guarantee of quality, entertainment, and an exceptional show.

Special thanks also go to Luna Nera, whose talent behind the camera captures the most beautiful emotions of every event. Through her photographs, every smile, every dance, and every special moment is preserved as a lasting memory, making each event even more meaningful and unforgettable.

Finally, our greatest thanks go to all of you who continue to support us with your friendship, enthusiasm, and wonderful spirit of togetherness. Your presence, warmth, and energy are the true heart of NewLifeItaly and the inspiration that encourages us to continue creating even more memorable events.

We look forward to welcoming you again at our next event, where together we will share new emotions, great music, and many more unforgettable moments.

With love,
The NewLifeItaly Team

since .net8 and .net9 are end of life in november we are going to update our servers to .net10 and make a few major changes to the code. first off we will remove the ini based configuration system and introduce two new servers, an estate service and a region registry. an isolated opensim server will run the regions for an estate. this will also give a better interface for self-hosters who want to own their data.we are still in planning stages and comments/suggestion appreciated thanks much. graphic ai generated so i didn't have to spend an hour making it hehe.

🎤 30 minutes left!
Hurry to Rocking Sands and request your favorite song with Putri! ❤️
Don't miss the final part of the show! 🎶🌅

GOODBYE MY FRIEND MALDRUL SMITH
The following is a clip from the Facebook Announcement concerning the IRL passing of our dear friend Maldrul Smith who DJ'd every event we had on our grid with very few exceptions. He was greatly loved by all of us and will be just as greatly missed. So many of us are stunned by this news but we pray for his family and friends that they may find comfort and peace. Maldrul was a dear, sweet soul who always found a way to cheer people up and was loyal to his friends. I just cannot say enough good about him.
*************************************
Our wonderful friend and amazing DJ-Maldrul Smith has passed away IRL. With heavy hearts, we are sharing that George passed away on June 25, 2026, at 2:05 p.m. CST.
George was a loving father, devoted husband, proud Air Force veteran, and a strong provider and protector for his family. He had a deep love for technology and computer science, and he shared that knowledge and curiosity with his daughters throughout their lives.
While our family is grieving this heartbreaking loss, we find comfort in knowing that George is now reunited with his beloved wife, Charlotte. They were married for 51 years and are now together in eternity.
Thank you to everyone who loved George, shared memories with him, and supported our family. Your prayers, kindness, and words of comfort mean so much during this difficult time. (If you would like to respond to this you can go to Facebook and look up " Maldrul Smith" and there you can send the family your thoughts and comforting words.) https://www.facebook.com/maldrul.smith

Pathfinder is a traveler between worlds—a mysterious being whose journey has only just begun. Though unmistakably alien, subtle traces of humanity hint at an extraordinary transformation, making him both familiar and wonderfully unknown. Driven by curiosity rather than conquest, Pathfinder explores distant frontiers, uncovers forgotten civilizations, and seeks understanding wherever his travels take him. Fully rigged, fully customizable, and offered with full permissions, Pathfinder is more than an avatar—he is the beginning of countless adventures, inviting you to create your own story among the stars. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Eccentrica Gallumbits

Let's see if this link works and takes you to Facebook to listen. I made my first visualizer for this song. The release from Ditto is July 3rd. I originally created the song and video using a male voice because I think of the AI I work with as male. His story. Some people were disappointed I didn't use my voice. In order to release it through my music distributer, I needed to redo it in my voice anyway. I may do a new video. The lyrics were written by me as well. Thanks for listening! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1666696278386187

#the best damn little grid!

Always Creating! LOVE IT! First let me say I LOVE Satyr Farming. I even tried to recreate it in Unity and Sinespace. I have noticed as of late that a lot of regions are banning the farming system because people go overboard with it and it lags the region. So it got me thinking. I have created a alternative RPG Farming system. 1 script controls 50 plants. The Hud works off XP and Coins and 1 script. The market vendor runs off 1 script. Buy and sell your goods. make clothes that give you XP boosts. Buy wood to build a house.. I have tried to implement the things I love about Satyr Farming, but make it friendlier for regions to run. I am still working on a build for this system and have not decided if I want to give this one away, but keep checking Who Knows on Osgrid. The basic Farming is there now, it does not have all the goodies.
