Deceptive business practices. When one calls a property a virtual reality ESTATE - REPEATEDLY - and a 4x4, this is a lie. A SINGLE REGION is a single region. I have had my account canceled. I'll be interested in see if if next month I am charged because apparently language and standard definitions are not to be assumed to be shared realities.

Anyone who was around and paying attention when ZetaMex was the ground zero of open sim drama (did it ever change) will not be surprised.

I tried to post an event, but I don't see how I go about doing it? Anyways, I am a DJ and I plan to DJ at 3PM on Friday, February 2nd, 2018 with my Great Canadian Grid avatar at the Great Canadian Pub. Any help about posting this would be appreciated.

They moved here: http://logon.gevolutionworld.com:8080, if you are still interested.

It would of been nice if we had a notice, but once I found them and recreated my accounts my sim reappeared in the new grid.

Today I ran across the Halloween region on the Island Oasis grid(created by Sophia Paolino). I thought Island Oasis was a closed world? Or are some parts accessible to OpenSim. I stopped playing Island Oasis cuz no one was there!!! How long has this been available?

Just to point out that the header on the page reading, "There are no news" is incorrect as news in itself is singular. So it ought to read :
"There is no news" ~ or it could use the multiple "There are no news items", either way would be correct.

Dear members of the ALBA SEX CLUB group, we need you.
As you will notice we had to change page in Opensim trying to adapt to their rules to not be inaccurate in the counting of avatars.
For two days now, ALBA SEX CLUB has been blocked from OSW without any warning despite our repeated unanswered messages. After months of being consistently at the top they haven't explained anything to us, and the only possibility is that someone mistook our AFK presence for fake traffic.
But we know the truth: ALBA SEX CLUB is made up of real people, with a life, a job, a story. You are the ones who make it special.
While eagerly awaiting for their positive response, now we ask you for a simple but crucial gesture:
💛 Write to OSW from the "Contact Us" page https://opensimworld.com/feedback and let them know that Alba is alive and well.

Thanks from alba princess

Gridtalk party on April 28, 2026.
💚Thank you for the wonderful evening.💚

A feature request has been made to Satyr, the overworked and kind host of this website, to be able to turn off group chat. Please visit the post and give it a like.
https://opensimworld.com/post/130519

The request is an initiative of one of our group moderators, the always wonderful @JamieWright. Visit her profile if you'd like to, and like it too.

Image from the home page of one of Jamie's regions, Old School. It's a repository for some older builds, OpenSim historic builds even, classic avatars, collections we want to preserve. If that is the kind of stuff you are looking for, pay it a visit.

Hot from the chat box...from me (plus some extra super informative notes!)

As much as I dislike it, I'm going to chat to end the chat. The group guidelines ask that you do not post asks in chat, and not answer them. If you post in the group, you can let people know by pasting just the link to that post in chat. And as likeable as we all are, the group is not a social hub. There is no good reason to use chat in the group. And there are several good reasons not to. First, the chat feature can not be turned off. And, if someone does chat, the group message mail box notice auto-annoyingly pops up over, and over, and over again. For me, and likely others, the only solution is to ignore the message notification, which means notifications about new post are not seen. Not good. Not good at all.

So, our group guideline ask that you do not use group chat. I started the group as an alternative to chat, and in the first month of our now two year existence, we became the largest and most active group on OSW. For many, our group is one of the best experiences we have on the site. We have a dedicated crew of helpers, including grid and shop owners. We are nice people. Please be nice back and don't use chat.

Chat in this group not only annoys people in general. It annoys me. I don't want to be annoyed. You don't want me to be annoyed. So, lets look at what annoying things have happened since yesterday.

Cyber posted about a problem. Harper provided a solution. Jamie, one of the group moderators, said that she had taken action so Cyber wouldn't see the group chats anymore. Any chat messages after that were not necessary.

And yet, now a day after all had been resolved, the chat was kept alive by further chat. The chat was about a person. No one in this group need chat about people -- especially when you are requested to chat not at all.

Jamie took steps to stop Cyber from getting chats. She removed him from the group. In the past, I've taken the same step when people consistently ignore the group guidelines, even after they have been reminded of them in a personal message. Please regard this as a personal message to those who haven't read the guidelines, and/or don't follow them.

The moderators and I can remove persistent chatters from the group when they ignore a private message to follow the guidelines. Hopefully, removing people from the group will not be necessary. And if someone is removed, all they need to do is private message us and say that:
1. They have read the guidelines and
2. Agree to follow them.

That has only been necessary a few times, and when people return, they are often one of the first people to remind people in chat not to chat, PLUS move the request made in chat to a group post. How cool is that! We want to help people find what they are looking for. And they ain't looking for no chat.

No chat? Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
