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!

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!

⛵ CA Sailing Race – Chaos on the High Seas of Neverworld! 🏴‍☠️

Every once in a while, we gather our bravest (and occasionally most reckless) captains for a sailing race in the Neverworld Grid!

Our beautiful 4x4 VAR provides the perfect playground for some serious sailing, questionable navigation, and the occasional act of piracy. The racecourse is shown on the map, although following it correctly is apparently optional.

Last Friday, four fearless captains entered the competition:

Miss Eva Nowicka – Fast, fearless, and apparently equipped with a secret turbo engine.

Navy Commander Ballyrae Hanley – A distinguished officer of the Navy, whose navigation instruments seem to have a mind of their own.

Rabit Pink Pirate Snoots Dwagon – A pirate who firmly believes that cannon fire is a perfectly acceptable racing strategy.

Smuggler Miss Trouble Ahead – An innocent, law-abiding smuggler who just wanted a peaceful afternoon at sea. Naturally.

🏁 Race One – Speed, Cannonballs and Suspicious Tactics

Miss Eva Nowicka took the lead and sailed to victory at an incredible speed. We are still investigating whether she secretly installed a jet engine below deck.

Second place went to Snoots Dwagon, who spent a considerable part of the race enthusiastically shooting at Miss Trouble's stern. After receiving enough cannonballs to supply a small naval war, Trouble's ship lost speed, allowing the sneaky pirate to overtake her just before the finish line.

Commander Ballyrae also demonstrated impressive speed, but unfortunately finished last due to what the official Navy report describes as "technical difficulties with the navigation instruments."

The rest of us call it getting lost.

💥 Race Two – Collisions, Cursing and a Heroic Sinking

The second race started with a bang. Quite literally.

Shortly after the start, Miss Eva and Snoots Dwagon managed to collide, proving once again that two excellent sailors do not necessarily make one excellent traffic situation.

While the two captains were busy shouting, shaking their fists, and exchanging what we assume were traditional nautical compliments, Commander Ballyrae and Miss Trouble seized their opportunity.

With remarkable speed and, for once, no major navigational disasters, Miss Trouble and Commander Ballyrea crossed the finish line first!

Miss Eva eventually arrived in third place, probably still muttering something about pirates and the rules of the sea.

As for Captain Snoots Dwagon...

Well, he decided to take a closer look at the local reefs. Unfortunately, he took his entire ship with him.

He sank heroically, spectacularly, and completely unnecessarily.

We salute his bravery. His navigation skills, however, remain under investigation.

🏴‍☠️ Until the Next Race!

What a glorious afternoon of racing, cannon fire, collisions, shouting, and questionable seamanship!

Nobody was seriously injured, several egos suffered considerable damage, and at least one ship is now providing accommodation for the local fish.

Many thanks to all four captains for a fantastic race!

Fair winds, following seas, and remember:

In Catronian waters, winning is optional. Surviving is an achievement!
