Recently I have had a number of people requesting that I allow child avatars at friends-grid and I want to discuss this openly and honestly.

It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved. In this situation, I need to understand the Child pornography laws of not only where our servers are located, but I also had to research and learn the laws of every country we have residents and guests from. We currently have residents from 30 countries and guests from another 35. People who say "laws dont apply " are incorrect on this subject. You may have servers in one country.....but all the laws of your resident's countries come into play also.

A good thing to remember is that because you have gotten away with something for 10 years does not make it legal. You may never get caught....and then again.....somebody with a grudge may turn you in.

I want to point out a recent post by Jerralyn Franzic . Jerralyn showed the cutest childs outfit ever! ....and she also made the wisest statement ...."I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem?" Personally I would love to see kids riding ponies at my farm....and having fun being mermaids. If everyone in child avi were to abide by Jerralyn's statement, there would not be an issue.

However, lets talk about reality. Not all child avis are simply riding ponies and playing in the water. The simple truth is that many (not all) of these child avis are having sex. Some grids use this to boost their traffic. In some countries, including US, the graphic illustration of a child online having sex is 100% illegal. You see, it does not matter if the person behind the computer is 12 or 52......the visual computer generated depiction of a child (child avatar) involved in sex is very illegal in a number of countries. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 Many people will say their countries are different....and this is stupid. I did not make laws........but I need to abide by them. Before people jump on this and criticize me ....I would suggest you read the laws of your country....your servers country...and the laws of all your residents or guests. There are many misinformed people on this subject. I am not saying the laws are right or wrong......but learn the laws.....then comment. You need to learn laws for your servers country...and all your guests countries. This post is not about morals......it is about laws....of all the countries involved.

I have spent over 200 hours reading international laws. Some countries allow things that others do not. However, you have to consider all the laws because of guests.


In closing....do I hate kids and kids avis......nooooooo. I would love to be able to allow them to come to friends grid. However, this is a less than perfect world in which we live, and I have to look at the potential liability of allowing those child avis. Because of that, Child avis are not allowed on friends-grid......no exceptions! I am sad....because there are some wonderful people in kids avis that I do not get to have visit.

Friends-grid is an Adult community and we are looking for adults, with adult avi's who want to make this their main opensim home.

When you take the dandelion seed ride to the Valley of Ancient Easters
You will arrive near the lake just beside this leave thrown by a butterfly
Remember the place and once you have completed your visit of the Valley
Sit on the leave for the next ride : destination maple grove and sugar shack

WELCOME TO ZENDORA
I welcome you to Zendora, one of the two lovely paradises at the region of Godewind. Beautiful landscaped, a lovely place to be! A little dream I like to share with you.

Who did not see the movie AVATAR by now? Zendora is all based on the beauty of the planet Pandora, you can experience in this movie. The Na'vi, it's inhabitants, live very close to the true meaning of nature and life. They have respect for all living creatures. They can make a bond with animals and plants so they can communicate telepathic with them. It can't be else then that the Na'vi live on a wonderful planet.

Zendora is a reflection of that beauty and is best seen with midnight view.

Wander and get lost in astonishment. Sit at rim of the lakes or float on a lily pad. Touch the Helicoradia, the shrinking plants, see the yerik (horse like animals) and don't be frightened when you meet the Hadrosaur. They are harmless. Seek shelter in the grotto and visit the floating islands in the sky. There you can hang out in a nice cave, swim in a pool or try out the swing. Nothing is more relaxing then sit on a tree branch gazing at the sunset! Play the drums or The gugin but if you rather like to do something about mindfullness then there are possibilities for Meditation, Thai Chi or Yoga.

In the Hometree is a little shop were you can purchase a selection of Pandorian and Zendorian plants. You can also find these at Kitely Market https://www.kitely.com/market?store=46457920&q=zendora

You are free to visit Zendora as many times as you like. However take consideration with the other visitors. So no nudity or behaviour that can offend others an no child avatars.

Do you like Zendora, tell your friends and let them enjoy too or mention this place in your picks! Have fun!!

WELCOME TO GODEWIND PARADISE

Since my very early Second Life days was Godewind my home and paradise. A place I would have wished for in Real Life. Beautiful landscaped, and a lovely, peaceful place to be!

Due to some relocations over the years, Godewind has been rebuilt no less than 5 times and also is known as Godelin in SL> Now it is one of the islands at the region Godewind in Utopia Skye Grid and still a place I like to share with you. Here you can explore and enjoy peace and relaxation in beautiful surroundings.

- Relax in the Hidden valley, listening to the birds and the sound of brooks and waterfalls.

- Meditate and experience the mythical atmosphere in the ruïns

- Meet your friends in the little farmcottage, have a dance at the Gazebo at the Lake, romantic moments in the Ice Cavern, the Fiary Grotto, or more intimate in the Arabian Night Cavern.

- Go by foot and climb ropes following the lighted trail through the canyons and mountains. Find the little camping hideouts and enjoy the view at the bay and seals on the rocks or take a canoe to explore Godewind from the water.

- You can even use the elevator to Eagle’s Nest and take a flight with a hang glider to enjoy Godewind from above.

- Last but not least you can take a jetski to race around in the sea to finally end up for a deserved rest in the sun at the beach.


Godewind is not complete yet. In time I will create an underwater world and a little marina so you can visit Godewind also by boat.
In the meantime I hope you will enjoy what already is there.


ENJOY
