Wanted: A few more Clan Leaders for the Vampire RP(G) in Thornhollow, in Neverworld Grid - http://hg.neverworldgrid.com:8002/Thornhollow/117/129/39
Clan Leaders are entitled a nice parcel to share or not share with your followers.

I used to regularly post a list of recent helpers (and also promoted their regions). I haven't been doing that for a month or more. I'm going to start doing those acknowledgements again, for people whose help I can easily track -- people responding to posted requests.

Unfortunately. much of the help is being done in group chat. You know, group chat, where the comments scroll away out of sight, much like the front page box -- a problem this group, with posts, was supposed to cure.

What do posts have that chat doesn't? Threaded conversations. Conversations anyone can read, follow, and easily understand, and benefit from, at any time. Chat is just one endless stream. I just can't read all that to make out who all is being helpful.

I'm not quite sure yet what to say about why people are using chat instead of posting. It seems to be a way for people, who are largely non-helpers, to engage the small group of helpers more quickly. However, overall, I think it's detrimental to the group.

What would really be helpful is if people responded to requests made in chat by saying "please post that in the group." However, I'm bemused, and resigned to the group doing what it does, regardless of the original purpose and process of requesting and getting help.

TRANS EUPHORIA AGAINST TRANSPHOBIA by Mattie @ Stark Islands Rainbow Club
Region: Stark
2024-07-11 11:00 SLT
hg.zetaworlds.com:Stark

This event is dedicated to all trans people who have to fight against discrimination and transphobia and for their right to be seen as they are. No one chooses such a life voluntarily. Being born in the wrong body is painful and not everyone wants to or can change their body to the opposite gender.
Stark Islands supports trans people as well as all other queer people. Even if it's just for the opportunity to virtually immerse yourself in a different body for a short time.

Be who you are!
We love you!

Come join Littlefield Grid for our 12th annual Independence Day BBQ and Dance Party!
Live DJ, Rides, Free Party Favors, Swimming and fun for all!
Fireworks every hour on the hour!!

I've been encountering a strange phenomenon for quite a while now.

Firestorm reproducibly does not texture certain surfaces. They're rare, but they're always the same.

One example that comes to mind: Swiss Cafe (in case you know it), second ground floor window from the left, the "non-moving" parts. They're always "textured" plain white. Even on derivatives of this building, and regardless of on which sim on which grid they're located.

This happens to two different avatars of mine from two separate grids each (two avatars on one grid, two avatars on another grid). It also happens on two separate computers, both booting Debian testing, but I don't think the underlying OS has any influence. This rules faulty cache content out.

In fact, it even happens after I've completely deleted the cache manually outside Firestorm.

I've tested various Firestorm versions from 6.3.9 to 7.1.9 today, and they all show this strange behaviour. That is, I do recall having seen the Swiss Cafe properly with all textures in the past, using Firestorm.

A while ago, I tried saving the general settings and all avatar settings, then deleting the entire ~/.firestorm_x64 directory. It didn't change anything.

Eventually, I tried the Cool VL Viewer. It doesn't render that texture either. So it's actually independent from the viewer as well.

Can it be that assets can be damaged by faulty asset servers or something, and that damage spreads all across the Hypergrid and wrecks all copies and all derivatives of the affected content?

This unique sim created by members of Team 2 aka Clan's Band features a "Musical Mystery Tour" of 8 different genre levels of music. Today we'll be on the BeBop level 5 at MoonShine's Drive In Diner. Clan will sing LIVE and we'll push back the juke box and accompany him on stage. Take the TP to the BeBop level 5 from the ground, or ride a series of balloons up through the levels. See you here at 11 AM SATURDAY JUNE 22! hop://alternatemetaverse.com:8002/An%20Alternate%20Metaver...
