In just the past 6 months, people in the "What Are You Looking For" group have assisted other group members by recommending the shops on this list as a place to find the stuff they were looking for. Some of the owners of these shops are helpers in the group. No surprise then that their shop was recommended. They had the stuff, and they let people know.

Any shop owner can do that. If people are looking for something you have in your shop, let them know. Simple, right? You’ll be happy. They’ll be happy. Happy, happy!

A Tribute to a Generous Soul: Fred Beckhusen
I am truly blessed to call Fred Beckhusen my friend. In all my life, I have never met someone so generous, loving, and quietly extraordinary. Fred’s heart is as vast as the grids he helps create, and yesterday, he left me in awe once again.
He invited me to test drive a magnificent stagecoach—complete with animated horses, with interior for two passengers and guest who sits next to driver. I thought it was a part of his own Silver Stirrup Stables project he created. But no—Fred had built it for us. As I climbed aboard and drove that beautiful coach, I felt transported to a time of dusty roads, tumbleweeds, and sagebrush. It wasn’t just a build; it was a moment, a memory, a gift from the past wrapped in pixels.
And this morning, I awoke to a message: he had packaged the stagecoach into an IAR for me. Not just to enjoy, but to share freely with others. Because that’s Fred. Always giving. Always humble. Never seeking the spotlight.
Fred Beckhusen is the real deal. He’s the steady heart behind Outworldz and DreamGrid, but more than that, he’s a rare and generous soul who enriches our lives every day without asking for a thing in return.
Thank you, Fred—from the depths of my heart. You bring dreams to life.
Visit the New Silver Stirrup Stables

Region: outworldz.com:9000/!New Silver Stirrup Stables/256/235/22

Saddle up and ride into something truly special—Fred Beckhusen's Silver Stirrup Stables is now open to visitors! Nestled in a scenic virtual countryside, this breathtaking region is filled with beautifully crafted horses ready to ride and a full set of animated jumping obstacles designed for excitement and skill.
Whether you're here to test your horse's agility or simply take in the immersive beauty of the build, you'll find a place that celebrates both fun and freedom. Fred has poured his heart into every detail—from the realistic horse animations to the expertly constructed jumps.
Bring a friend, grab a horse, and enjoy the ride. As with everything Fred creates, it’s free to explore and share. Come see what makes this man a legend in our world.
Thank you, Fred

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!

After almost 2 years in development (yeah i'm slow), I realize it could be another 2 years before the Chased region is ready. So i've decided to open up for testing. You are invited to come for some random surprises and fun. I'm not giving away much info here, you'll find out when you get there...

A damage enabled fae region full of surprises and pretty (and dangerous) things. Some basic skills like knowing how to run and jump, will keep you alive a little longer. Things are random, even I frequently die there!

My regions are hosted on my pc, and can run only a few avatars at once. If by chance the region has many visitors and you find lag, you might want to come back later when its quiet.

🌹 The Treasured Garden Hunt 🌹
A celebration in honor of beloved mothers.

In every corner of the grid, roses have been hidden — each one holding a never-before-seen gift created especially for this event. This hunt honors the spirit of all mothers, who deserve to be cherished and celebrated.

Explore and discover the treasures placed lovingly throughout the grid
Each rose offers a unique surprise, never before released in OpenSim
Ongoing through Mother’s Day week, with new gifts replenished as roses are found

Join us in celebrating the beauty, love, and strength of mothers everywhere.
Because every mother is a treasure — and in the Treasured Garden, they are honored with joy.

🌹 Please note: Once a rose is taken, that gift is gone — it will be replaced with a new, unique treasure. Each gift is limited, not copied, and only a few of each will be given, making every find truly special.

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.
