Hello everyone, I need some advice from experienced people

I have owned a 1024×1024 region on OSGrid for several years. The region contains about 10 small houses, and 6 residents each own a small parcel around their house.

I am the only person with management rights on the region. However, I rent the hosting from another person, who regularly creates OAR backups.

Today I discovered that all parcels have disappeared. The entire 1024×1024 region is now a single parcel owned by one of the residents, even though that resident originally owned only a very small parcel.

Of course, the OAR I received from my host now reflects the same situation because it was created after this happened.

I haven't logged into OpenSim for several weeks, and I haven't changed any land or region settings for months.

How is it possible for all parcels to disappear and for the whole region to become owned by another resident?

Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

thanks a lot if you can help me to understand :)

Hi friends, just a note to say NO ONE is banned from the Cedars. The only reason I would ban someone is if they were disturbing other guests. You may have an issue getting here due to recent a upgrade to the grid. While some issues are being worked on, I suggest you relog and try again or teleport to the grid welcome (grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Wolf Territories Grid Welcome Area) and then tp to the Cedars. You are welcome at the Cedars.

Hello friends! I'd like to write an open letter to malls in OpenSim, if I may. I love giving 5-star reviews to your places, I can't often do it because I keep seeing issues that make me twitch. So if you'll indulge me, there are one or two things that are easy to fix and may improve your region.

First, if you have built a wonderfully spacious mall for us to enjoy, please allow us to fly through it, or at least offer many teleports. But fly is such a nice thing. Having to duck-run through great expanses of space is not really how I want to spend my summer vacation.

But speaking of size, I'd personally be much happier to visit a boutique of unique items than a massive mall of the same thing. I don't have anything against big malls, but they take a good deal of time to meander through, and it'd be great if I came away with some neat new things or a lovely experience of an especially gorgeous and unique location.

Also, please make sure the neat new things you offer are actually available. I wander through a store for an hour, finally find something I like, and that one thing is not copyable or buyable. At that point, I mutter rude things (i.e. "Why??") and teleport someplace pretty where I can fly and find serenity again.

And, as a personal preference, if you can provide clothing that is modest. Just a couple pieces. I know, there is something wrong with me that I want to hide my pixelated persona, what a weirdo I am. I'm not looking for head-to-toe with veils. Just, you know, something professional, or something I can wear to Grandma's, or church. Normal jeans. Shirts that go all the way down. My butt covered. I have a wardrobe full of ubiquitous microdresses that I wear as shirts with leggings. Honestly, I bet we can do better.

That said, I love OpenSim and I love wandering through your regions and appreciate your creativity and generosity. I look forward to throwing all the stars at you!
