When you come to Welcome at cyberdatastorm, if you use the environment settings, the air has a very smoky quality without the lag of 'smoke' particles. This effect is created through the environment loading in the menus. My welcome is very simple, so that people can load quickly without a lot of things to weigh them down. I believe it is always good to have a simple and easy to load welcome area on your grid. Everything is done in simple black & white. From my opensim beacon, to my visitor list, to region teleport sign.

We have 3 new vendors preparing to set up shops in our Star Jinn Palisade Mall here in the Masala Al Kohav region. As soon as they are ready to open will let you know and you can come check out their shops and see their positively gorgeous work. Indigo's Market & Boutique, The Heart of The Matter Boutique and Thorvaldr's Forge. We have shops available if you're looking for a place to display your work for others to enjoy. It can be free or you can set it to be bought, we just provide the space. Our spaces are free though donations are appreciated to help defer the cost of the grid. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

We will never forget. Peaceful protestors in Melbourne Australia, hunted down by thugs under the guise of police who are to serve the people - not the tyrannical government. This woman was pushed to the ground and pepper sprayed repeatedly by these thugs.

I'm bringing this question to the group to see what suggestions you have. In the box, Star Ravenhurst asks, "What grids will help totally new people that join their grid? You have to teach them everything. Do any of these grids exist?"

My thoughts. People choose grids based on a number of criteria, such as cost of land ownership, the reputation of the grid owner, the dependability of the servers, and opportunities for shopping and socializing. However, people can travel to other grids for shopping and events, so the last two are perhaps less important.

Also, most of the people I've met have experience in SL. They need to learn what is different here. Which is what? How to run their own grid. Which grids allow you to attach your grid to theirs. How to get free land from other people. The number of people to expect at "big" events in OS. Some technical stuff -- I don't know -- scripting languages or something like that.

Then there are people who are total noobs. There are several grids that have sandboxes with instructional billboards set-up, like OSG. Anyone from almost any grid can visit regions like that. Some people have classes on different topics. But at times, people need one-on-one help.

So, a few requests, and a question.

1. Please name the grids that have the sandboxes with instructional material.
2. Please list classes that can help people learn stuff, especially the basics for noobs.
3. Are there instructional videos that teach basic skills?
4. Please say if you enjoy and are available to teach certain basic skills, one-on-one, to people new to the SL/OS family of virtual worlds.


The question is, is this group the best place to share this information for future use? Is there already an OSW group set-up for this? I think the best resource is a curated playlist of the best instructional YouTube videos. Anyone interested in doing that?

Caribou, late last night. Monkey pulling my hair. Frogs in the Caribou Village wetlands. Fish jumping in the icy Winterland waters.

I love Monkey. She makes me safe and happy. Sits on my shoulder. I am never alone.

Zetaworlds Jeanne is often here with me.

We love Caribou and Caribou loves us. What a wonderful feeling.

Many friends have disappeared from the OS world. Swallowed by new grids and places. I hope they are safe and happy.

We stay in OS, I whisper to Monkey. Free, open and friendly Caribougrid. All our 144 Sims welcome 18+ AVs from all grids, OS and all others.

We are listed as one of the most popular grids. This makes us pleased and proud. Every day we get better. Come see us and you understand.

Our free shops are second to none. Caribou original GRIMM region, the Caribou Shopping Street with new mesh bodies, outfits, cool animations and more. Athena, Petite, Legacy, Reborn - we have them all. Superb Male Shops. BDSM shop, huge free playgrounds.

Caribou is Adult rated and we hope our friends respect this and come as 18+ - short or tall, small or big - so we can keep these islands open, advanced and safe for all. No special groups needed. Ask me for private homes, hideouts and second homes. Always understanding and personal welcome.

A big hug from the two Jeannes.

Oh, I always hated to swim in cold waters. Today, I love the icy shores and the white snowfields of Caribou Winterland. Explore if you have the time.

We announce that we made a connection with the Vibel grid , " Neiferleaf " owned by Roland Francis.
Catronian Archipelago's members visited his sims and were very enthusiastic about theme and landscaping and we decided to connect the lands with teleporters on each others landing points. The purpose of this connection is to share traffic and make people with similar interests on different grids aware about the posibilities of role-play, and we also want to organise events that will take place on both grids. More information about this later.
You can easely find the gate to Neiferleaf on Catronian Archipelago 's landing point , a gazebo that will teleport you over or try

grid.vibel.eu:8002:Neiferleaf

Enjoy the medieval theme, the wonderful forests and the great riding horses you can use to explore the lands. It's big, so take your time.
We are grateful Roland participates in this and work with us. For a fast impression on website:

NO CHILD AVATARS

Been focusing a bit more on working on the land itself while I consider what the first freebies of 2024. Mixed Arcadia Asylum things with modern meshes, materials and particles and it still looks accurate for very deep water. When I'm done I may put all of my mods and new land things in a box for people to get the look for the sim. Happy new year to all friends of Mythos!
