In Loving Memory of Golpher Gopheller
July 28, 1954 – September 26, 2026

A peaceful memorial for Golpher has been created on Solmara at the request of Yana Dakota, beside the sea, surrounded by flowers, palms, and softly glowing lanterns.

It is a place to remember his kindness, his laughter, and the familiar “Aloha” that brought warmth to so many. A place for everyone who knew him to pause and cherish their own memories.

Everyone is welcome to visit. If you would like to leave a candle, a vase of flowers, or another small tribute, please feel free to place it by the memorial. Or simply sit for a while, listen to the music playing from the rose, and remember him in your own way.

This memorial is dedicated to Golpher and the friendship he shared with so many of us. May it be a place of kindness, peace, and remembrance.

A hui hou, dear Golpher.
Until we meet again.
Yana 🤍

Words can not express enough how sad/devastated I and all of My Virtual Beach is to hear about the passing of my good friend and grid supporter Golpher Gopheller.

Him and I would talk about Hawaii all the time, I visited Hawaii a few years ago and he told me he would wave to me when my cruise ship set sail. I told him I would wave back. Hawaii was the best trip I have ever been on. He gave me wonderful advice and places to visit.

He would try when he could to make it to one of the Meet and Greets in my grid, he even made to the VB crawl I hosted once.

I remember when we would hang out in lbsa plaza he would have his dinky avatar on. I would make sure to have kitty treats and toys in my pocket.

When its 8:00m pm his time and like i should be in bed my time, he would tell me this. Well time for me to hop off, i have to put my boys to bed. (referring to his pet birds) He would tell me how there doing.

When I knew there was bad weather i would message him making sure he was okay. With all the bad weather lately I hadn't heard from him in awhile or seen him. I didn't know one day it would be our last conversation.

The picture you see is a region he created he was very proud of he would talk about it all the time. I promised him i would visit this region. If anyone gets a chance please visit. Its an amazing region i wish i had on my grid.

I would like to send my condolences to all the grids he was a member of and to all his family and friends.

E hoʻomālielie i ke kaumaha to the family and friends.
He was such a wonderful friend, and I am holding you all close in my heart. May he be at peace.
Mahalo for the beautiful memories we shared. Until we meet again—A hui hou.

There will be stone for him at Virtual Beach Memorial Gardens for all to visit with his picture.

Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!
Apologies for the inconvenience!

It’s hosted by the Wolf Territories Grid on October 3rd and 4th, and it’s basically a huge celebration to show off all the cool regions and creative stuff their community has built. It kicks off at 8:00 AM Grid time, and they have a ton of stuff planned: Live Music: There's going to be DJs spinning tracks. Dancing: High-energy spots to just hang out and dance. Lots of outdoor adventure and unique areas to explore. If you want to come by, you just hit up this link: http://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/WolfFest%202026/30/25... You can also check out the Wolf Territories tent if you want to get more details beforehand. Definitely mark your calendars, it’s going to be a blast!

identity verified by microsoft we release a new version of Peepski screenshot / video capture tool properly signed. should theoretically be easier to install :) smartscreen will likely still complain a little AFAIK microsoft doesn't green light until there have been a gadzillion installs. but that's my memory could be froggy.
Gyazo is maybe back up? there's now a note about the hack and says service will be unavailable with an update to be posted sept 29 however it looks like the service _may_ be functional now? i haven't tried.
