A List of OS LGBT+ Focused Places.
Perhaps, foremost, this groups serves our members as a refuge, and place to form connections and community. But the group is not just social. I hope it will be action-oriented. I'd like to help LGBT+ Focused places survive and thrive. We will also help promote LGBT+ Friendly places.

What is the difference between focused and friendly? LGBT+ Friendly places serve as friends and allies to the LGBT+ community. LGBT+ Focused places are intended to serve the LGBT+ community, but generally, are also open to all.

Many places that aim to be a gathering place have difficulty surviving in OS. But LGBT+ Focused places seem to have the hardest time of all. Most are listed by OSW as off-line, from anywhere between one month to seven years.

Here is a list of list of OS LGBT+ focused places that I found listed as on-line at the time of my search. I used the search terms “Gay”, “Lesbian”, “Shemale”, and “Trans” The information on the list includes Name / When Listed on OSW / Traffic Rate /Owner / URL / NOTE. They are listed in order of traffic rank. Most have dance clubs. (We could plan a Safari-style tour event at places without dance clubs).

THESE ARE THE BEST stargates & stargate dialers you will ever find in the grids. These gates & dialers let you put in your own list of destinations. When you press a button on the dial pad it tells you what grid that goes to, then you press the center button, and the button light up animation sequence happens. Next the stargate will start to turn to dial in the location. Finally a worm hole will appear and you just walk right into it, and it tp's you to the destination you chose anywhere in the metaverse. One of these stargates can take the place of hundreds of "teleport portals" and "teleport signs". THEY COME PREINSTALLED WITH 72 POPULAR HOT SPOTS. NOTE: There are THREE PARTS. The Gate, The Dialer, & The Stand. I have the ATLANTIS GATE, the PEGASUS GATE, and the SG1 GATE. All with dialers. All FULLY working. You can pick yours up at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:SandBox

Pictured above......typical product from Friends mall

I have tried to tell people that our mall is a little different; but tonight I want to show you one of our best selling products - the amazing horses from my friend Roland Francis.

Most of you know about Roland and his horses....but I am going to brag anyways. I used to raise horses in SL. You dont even want to know how much I spent on food.....and then the horses were not naturally grazing. If you found ones that were...you could not ride them. I have tried every horse I found in Second Life and Opensim, and I honestly believe Roland's horses offer the best ride and most realistic animations.

So....you might ask...what does this have to do with a mall? We are honored to be able to offer Rolands horses to you here at Friends Mall and I have built a special path to let you try them. Ride over the mountains...past the pond...and the long oceanside trail....and I am sure you will fall in love with these horses.

Go to the Equitacion Store at Friends Mall.
hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Friends%20Mall/479/340/2...

Then walk out the back of the store to take a horse for a ride. When you arrive back at the building, you can get your own horse rezzer......it is called HHorse rezzer v2.0 and is inside the stable building at the Mall.

These horses are wonderful! Thank you Roland!

How to copy your friends from one seriously borked installation to a new fresh installation. First download and run mysqlworkbench. Run the seriously fubarred dreamgrid, and use mysqlworkbench to connect to it. Under databases select the friends table. Enter an sql query like this one: select * from robust.friends; then next a table is generated of all your friends. Click the export button to save this table to your hard disk. Close down the fubarred dreamgrid. Run the new dreamgrid installation. Open wordpad and change your old key in the friends.cvs to your new key in the new installation, search & replace all instances. Now with mysqlworkbench opened IMPORT the saved friends.cvs into the new dreamgrid installation and restart it.

Just wanted to send another huge shout out at @valerieluv0 's work ( https://opensimworld.com/post/109263 )
In the past, as I guess many others in OS too, we had to have a 'paging' system for rentals, get involve in each transaction, assign permissions... it was an administrative nightmare.
Now we can manage almost 300 parcel rentals (both free and paid) spread across 8 regions (and planning on another 72!) SEAMLESSLY!

🌿🌌 Welcome to Iknimaya: A Pandoran Paradise! 🌌🌿
Step into a world inspired by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the movie Avatar. Welcome to Iknimaya, where the wonders of Pandora come to life before your very eyes. At the landing, you'll find a box of beautiful Pandoran flowers created in the early days before mesh, we called it torturing prims (a favorite pastime). The region is lush, and enjoyable to explore, “I see you.”
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:iknimaya Thank you @JoeBuilder and @FerdFrederix for adding to the lovely plant collection here.

This is the news everyone tried to guess what it was. Virtual beach region which is our current welcome region is getting a major upgrade!

I would like to thank Darci Viper and Lilly Sparks from OS grid for doing the complete rehaul and putting up with me. They have put a lot of effort in the region, I have done a few things but the credit really goes to them.

Also i want to thank Cuetulala artis aka bloom peters for working on a special project in there i cant yet reveal.

When it is finished, there will be a reveal party, stay tuned for details.

Just a beautifull scene..and to let you know that Samsara is going to expand her region... from 2x2 to 5x5!
What we are going to build will be a surprise. Im very excited about it!
But it will be stunning for sure!
Feel free to visit Samsara anytime and take a relaxing moment for yourself !
Try the Tai chi, the Dhamma Hall for the everyday course lead by SN Goenka or just a meditation together with the sound of the floating river or even some cuddles with your love.

Namaste Yana Dakota

Yesterday I woke up really early and did couple of hours of work, and passed out on my keyboard. When I looked again and peeked at my screen there was a message from @JoeBuilder with this beautiful Kimono gift, I am sorry I missed you Joe thank you for stopping by and sharing this lovely Kimono. I had been trying for awhile to rig a Kimono but I cannot get the sleeves just right and really wanted a nice mesh Kimono, this gift is very much appreciated. Thank you!

This wonderful combat system has been masterfully scripted by Ares Halostar. It let's you set up a game on your land in your woods, where avatars can fight vampires, spiders, werewolves, and more! Not only this, but healing fairies and magical spirits fly to your aid to heal you! The entire system is FREE and is a massive amount of work. If you always wanted a complete roleplay situation this is it from A to Z. It's Amazing! :) It's at hg.neverworldgrid.com:8002:Never Village It is well worth the trip! He has put some heart & soul into this system! Enjoy!

On April 9th, the Board of Directors convened and resolved to augment its membership by two individuals, thereby ensuring a quorum. Subsequently, it was unanimously decided to extend membership offers to Unadecal Masala and Roland Francis. I am pleased to confirm that both candidates graciously accepted, and on April 11th, our inaugural board meeting took place, yielding fruitful outcomes.

The newly appointed board members will undertake pivotal responsibilities, including reviewing and adjudicating art submissions, voting on prospective projects, and contributing to strategic decisions concerning the gallery's operations. Additionally, they will engage in various board-related duties.

To foster creativity, we are excited to announce the integration of a dedicated workspace within the gallery premises, facilitated by a small sim. This space will serve as a collaborative hub for artists, providing an opportunity for mutual encouragement, support, and artistic synergy within the Open Sim community.

We extend heartfelt congratulations to Una and Roland on their appointments. Your expertise and commitment will undoubtedly enrich our board, and we eagerly anticipate your contributions.

The Land Rental System. This amazing system is available on Valands in osgrid. It's a work of art in scripting and she has done an amazing job of creating this, if you are in the business of renting land you should check it out and stop by val lands and get a copy. Really awesome work!

I am looking for the canasta table. Maybe somebody with a very large very old inventory will still have it, if it has not been lost from the metaverse for good. I have the scripted hud for canasta, so the rest of it must exist somewhere.

NEW: This circular/pallet bed comes packed with +500 animations, some decor, and HUNDREDS of textures.
I have spent a good amount of time making sure you get all the versatility and can change the texture of each piece of the set individually, pillow to pillow!

Hi, I'm looking for a DJ booth/table/stand and other dance club equipment with a swamp/bayou aesthetic. Bonus points if the swamp happens to be on an alien planet with giant, green, scaly critters under the water! Don't ask what it's for, or else I'll have to invite you ;)

The New Best Friends Pet Center (and mini zoo) is now open for all who would like to visit and maybe find your fur-ever friend. There are canines, felines, equines, reptilian, aquatic and fantasy critters, and all are Animesh to add that "alive touch" to your region or home. They are free and they are for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia
