You added secondlife: as a prefix, to all of my HG links, then when no one can access my region (because I'm NOT in Second Life), you ban me for incorrect address and refuse to reply to my support requests??? WTF? Please help me get this set up correctly!

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

I don't care how others see myself after this but folks need a bucket of truth. I'm a fur, we stopped caring what others thought about us after the media started taking pot-shots at our community, so let's begin.

1. Open Simulator uses code from Linden Labs' software. This fact alone makes OpenSim a copybot of itself. How? By continual development using core OpenSim. It would require a major rewrite to fix this.

2. 90% of active Opensim users are using botted items anyway. It's the only way to get content away from Second Life for places like OpenSim to thrive.

3. Grids have the right to block whomever they want to. Whining about it doesn't magically reverse it.

4. There are clauses in OpenSim to deter would-be copyrighters. Don't want to deal with it? Shut down your grid, and go away or don't complain. You knew this was a possibility when becoming a grid owner.

5. True major violators are delt with. Kitely has a giant issue with this still.

6. Visitors need to know that not ever location on OSW is ran on some corporate super computer 24hrs a day. Most are on personal computers being ran on sub-par internet. Just like #3, whining about it doesn't magically fix it.

7. The only true OpenSim grid that will remain when the others have left will be OsGrid. Is it a ghost town 90% of the time? Yeah it is but when the OsGrid fundraiser comes around, it's always filled.

8. OpenSimWorld and SatyrFarm are projects from one person done in spare time. Whining about it doesn't make him appear from thin air and fix whatever issue you're having.

9. The Swiss stating what their laws on copyright is makes them transparent, not troublesome. Only an idiot sees it that way. The Swiss was also home to The Pirate Bay - US Copyright laws do not and will not exist there, nor are they enforced. Even Trump won't mess with the Swiss.

10. Any grid owner who uses the God mode function to force object ownership to themselves is using their executive powers that have been a staple of OpenSim/Second Live since 2005. Second Life viewer 1.0 had this function for admins to do this very thing if residents became unruly.

11. Visitors need to realize that servers and internet aren't for free - grids and standalone regions need that to cover their cost or we find ourselves whining about why such and such place or grid isn't around anymore. It's because of whiny children who feel entitled to everything, even if their in their 40s. This very argument is why minimum wage and cost of living in the US went up.

12. Giving something away that costs people money isn't a violation no matter how you look at it or there'd be more people in jail(starting with the new head of the FCC/AT&T kiss ass).

There, now that I've thoroughly covered everything and offended everyone it had to be said. Those that wonder why OpenSim hasn't evolved only need to look in the mirror. We are the ones slowly killing OpenSim from the inside out. We are the ones pushing newcomers away with our he said/she said bullshit and of our screams of what's deemed right and wrong. Second Life is still here. Why? Because they control stuff like this from getting out of hand(and we passed that threshold yesterday) and don't act like children while doing it. Why is OsGrid still here while other major grids failed? Same reason. InWorldz went under because of how its residents acted, not Beth, not Tranquility.

To be honest I don't care if I've offended anyone with the truth. It sucks - get over it. Boredom is not a valid excuse for stupidity(I'm going to use that as a tag line now I think). We should be thinking about what the next big thing should be for OpenSim, then embrace it. No police it to death where no one wants it. If these aren't your ideals then just shut your computer off, disconnect your internet, and go play outside.

What would life be without drama?. We all love a good dramatic performance, and even reward good dramatists with Oscars. Being good lovers of drama ourselves in opensimworld, we decided to introduce two new Dramatic features to the website:

1. We are introducing the new Drama group. This zone is especially reserved for outbursts of emotion, adrenaline explosions, and generally high drama. We will be moving here any public threads that we feel are worthy of an Oscar from now on. Who knows, maybe we ll have an actual awards ceremony in the end.

2. We will be removing comments from Dramatic users from the frontpage. Those selected users will still be able to create comments and everything, but those won't appear in the frontpage. If a dramatic user feels that they no longer want to be dramatic, they have to contact us using the contact link


We hope you enjoy our new dramatic improvements, and we wish happy drama to everyone. And if you don't enjoy them, feel free to respond with an outburst of drama.

Cheers

Estate / Region management interface showing a few regions and then a region popped up for management (clearly not many options yet!!)

From here it will be possible to restart a region. Depending on your configuration of simulators this will either restart or shutdown - if its set to shutdown you need something else to start your region back up (monit is a good option).

Also OARs will be downloadable and uploadable from here. Due to the risks of operations like OAR backups / restores they will be configuable by constants on the config.php with at least restores disabled by default.

Still deciding what other tools to build in here.

There will also be some estate wide tools but that's not been started at all.

Map tiles are cached and not updated unless you request new ones. As they are calculated based on region size and downloaded in 256x256 chunks and stitched together getting them fresh each time is "expensive" especially on regions like the 4096x4096 I tested - thats a lot of chunks!

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

Hey everyone, im back! Had trouble getting back home and still waiting on my luggage.

With that being said, Virtual Beach is offline. It will be back up in a few hours. Dreamgrid must have wigged the server out or vice versus or an internet thing. Sadly i have to have my server guy restart it and right now its too early where he lives.

Tromsø Expo Center presents The Provocative Work of Dorena Verne

Saturday, May 9, 2026
11 am grid time / 8 pm Berlin time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:TROMSO

Dorena Verne’s ongoing portrait series is an exploration of identity as lived practice.

Through the disciplined, iterative rendering of a single figure—her imagined and rightful self—Verne examines the intertwined dynamics of gender, power, and visibility. The work’s provocation lies not in spectacle, but in its unwavering assertion of personhood within a cultural landscape that continues to contest it. Each image reflects a synthesis of technical mastery and autobiographical inquiry, revealing a visual language shaped by resilience, clarity, and intention.

This exhibition presents a body of work grounded in craft and conviction, inviting viewers to engage with an artist who transforms self‑representation into a form of truth‑telling.

Champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and gourmet coffee to be catered by the Chronic Cat Cafe and the Pot Pie Bakery. There is no dress code, however, we all love an opportunity to dress up! One rule: You can wear pearls, but no *clutching* of them. 😎 Curated music brought to you by Xenon Darrow - in the genres of chill, triphop, and classics.

This is an exciting and explosive start to the mission of the Expo Center - to provide a space for expression and demonstration of the craft and creativity of our virtual world denizens throughout the world and the hypergrid.

I'm not sure if Cyber misunderstood the group chat as people messaging him directly or if anyone has been direct messaging him. But I removed him from the group so he does not get the group chat in case it's the first. I will ask that anyone here not message him as well with any requests. He did join the group it of his own choice. I will take his message as a desire not to be in here. No bad feelings, just housekeeping.

Also, reporting does nothing.

Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..

[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.

**Begründung:**

1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.

2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.

3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.

4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.

Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...
.................................................................................................................................
This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...

[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?

[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.

**Justification:**

1. **Freedom of Art:**

In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.

2. **Historical Context:**

Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.


3. **Function of Art:**

Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.

4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**

Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.

I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...

It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that European Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)

Last night, the wonderful and generous (if not mischievous!) Jimmy Olsen spent time teaching me how to make static EEP skies. He doesn't like what I am doing because he wants it to look slightly blurry for more "realism," but mine are not for that. I am thinking about them for doing events at the Playa, even manually changing them out during the events! Or maybe at an art festival! The sky is my canvas! During an art festival, you could share the work of others, changing them out periodically. Thanks for your time and patience, Jimmy! Now the fun begins!

I made a short webpage with a simple tutorial for those that want to play! https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/eep-fun...

I`ve been working all these days on a V2 version of the Watchdog (using ChatGPT and DeepSeek AI)... Still running some tests here and there and check if all ok/stable. On this V2 version, calling it AIO - (ALL-IN-ONE) you can see the messages also on Discord and Telegram. Also now not only tells you when someone is entering or leaving your region, but also the SIM position (coordinates x,y,z) and how long they remained on region once they left!! And flags if its a npc in the region!!! O.o
E.g:
Jimmy Olsen entered NORGE (06:32:02 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1507, 930, 27
Jimmy Olsen left NORGE (08:23:14 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1505, 934, 29 and remained for 01h 51min 06sec
-----
Baldur (NPC) entered NORGE (06:28:27 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1185, 1243, 47
Baldur (NPC) left NORGE (06:33:07 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1185, 1243, 47 and remained for 00h 04min 34sec

------
Will advertise it when its done (will rez a vendor on URBAM MUSEM SIM, of course).
Thx Arielle for the idea. (couldn`t make it work on cell phone as it would require a paid server and API) but what it offers now is similar! Both Telegram and Discord have apps for cell phones and desktops!
Also thx for my friends Xenon, Luke, Crazy, Mc Cracken and Essensual who has been helping me testing it

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!
