new OAR + IAR kiosk. we use wormhole for safe secure large file uploads (we support up to 100GB) . touch the kiosk in the Payments & Support center to upload your Oar or Iar file. You can download a wormhole GUI client or use the command line. Doesn't have to be on the same computer, you just need to enter the Wormhole code and we'll pull it.

Note: only one of each can be uploaded at a time. if you upload a second Oar or Iar it will replace the previous one. So you have to wait until it is loaded on grid if you have more files to upload.

— The GridGather Team 🚀

Hello, dear OSgrid friends!

With the expected closure of OSgrid at the end of December 2026, many of us are facing the challenge of finding a new virtual home. Over the past few days, several residents have already reached out to me looking for a place to settle in.

If you are one of them, you are very welcome at Cozy Sun Grid! We would love to help you find a new home for your avatar, meet new friends, and become part of a small, creative community where people know and appreciate one another.

There is room for you here — and perhaps this is the beginning of something wonderful!

MONSTERS & CRYSTALS!

Well, it has been a hot minute since I pushed some mesh up into the stores!

We have some TRULY HORRIBLE MONSTERS new in the Original Stuffz & Junkz! Ready and willing to be in your scariest Halloween regions!

(Don't tell them they are horrible! They have lovely personalities!)

We also have some wonderful crystals in the Stuffz & Junkz Outdoors! Perfect for your crystal garden or your crystal caves!

Stuffz & Junkz Stores - Located at the Fleabags Den @ Wolf Territories

What an unfortunate turn of events. I have many fond memories of OSgrid. One must wonder who would stand to gain from this act of turpitude against the TEST BED of Opensim. Yet another attack on the open nature of Opensim. Now I expect grids to start restricting oar and iar access...

This news is very saddening and the community is behind you.

Thank you OSgrid for your service!
