For this build I started with a wall I had made for a House I was working on, then I wondered how it would look as an outdoor thing and viola! The Wistful Shelter came to life. Decorated with wisteria and a few other plants, it is polished brass with a beautiful mosaic floor sure to please anybody. It's free, it's full perm, and it's waiting to beautify your region in a garden, on a beach, or just as a yard decoration. I have my greedy game inside it. You can find it in the "Create a Scene" area of the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

With a little imagination it is also possible to see Lisbon, at the GavezDois Art Gallery, in Osgrid.

The sequence of images that line the path to a small square typical of the capital of Portugal, takes us to the main points of the city in the most diverse artistic styles.

In addition to the different rooms of the huge AI art gallery, there are works of art spread across different parts of the island for visitors to discover.

The new Kugelstuhl complete with AVsitter so the sits are adjustable. You'll need to play with it a little but it works well. It's cute, it's full perm and it's waiting to decorate your home, patio, poolside or even beach or garden. You can find it in Lavia's Little Corner in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall on the Masala Al Kohav region. Enjoy! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Hello non-virtual people,
I come to ask for advice.
I have my grid's homepage set up with Joomla, which is old and outdated because the Jopensim module hasn't been updated again (a pity, because the work this person did was wonderful).
I've tried with Wordpress, and it's not going very well either.
I would like it if you could suggest alternatives for the registration and the grid's website. I am already discouraged, thinking I am a dinosaur on the verge of extinction.

Another thing, the other day I made a web viewer for the grid, a shame, it goes too slow and the new generations are about pressing buttons, not following a huge tutorial to be able to download, set up, and enter a Grid (I know it seems easy to you), but they look at me with eyes of "what???"
Has anyone ever tried this before?
Well, I hope for your advice, especially opinions, and I deeply appreciate it.

What a very busy day for me. Phew! So glad to be home. I am quite tired of driving. :D I discovered that the wonderful Fred Beckheusen has added email to dreamgrid some time ago. This means if you enable it, that objects can send emails to other objects, as well as to and from your real world email. I enabled it in dreamgrid (SORRY OSGRID DOESNT HAVE THIS FEATURE ENABLED). I then created a box that is an email terminal. You click it, enter a subject and a message and click send. It sends the email straight to my email address. I tested it, AND IT WORKS GREAT!!! Fred is Genius.

Decided to try my hand at a 2nd Zigurat - didn't turn out too badly, though it's not boxed or free to be copied yet as it's part of the Mall. I plan to put a screen with video's of our grid on it and plenty of information about our grid, our shops, and available land. Come and look around you might actually find an original build you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Jeanne and Monkey want to remind everyone of the Caribou Terms of Service which you find at http://www.caribougrid.com. You will also find Jeanne's information about some relevant issues. The website will be refreshed during the next few days.

Caribou remains open for 18+ Avatars from all grids as long as we can see that all visitors respect these few rules. It is in everybody's interest that there is a grid on the web where the internal conflicts do not reach.

We are a safe region for all 18+ Avatars when they are in Caribou and adapt to the rules. We cannot be reponsible for any old history.

Caribou is now a bit hurt, some regions have been taken out, but we try our best to get them repaired. Still there is lots to see in what is maybe the largest free adult playground in the grid worlds.

You are all sincerely welcome to the region that we ourselves love so much.

The article “The Reality of Second Life’s Ageplay Problem”, is being discussed in the Box. I thought it was worth posting about this on the Front page.

Where to find the article: as of this moment, the article is on the social media site Medium. The site says that the content is “under review as a potential violation of our rules”. You can try a link provided in the box first by Arielle and reposted by Fred Beckhusen/Ferd Frederix: https://medium.com/@dantesedmond1844/the-reality-of-second...

As noted in the box by Arille, the r/secondlife page is allowing a heavily moderated discussion of the article. https://www.reddit.com/r/secondlife/comments/1b3etxt/confi... The Reddit mods say “The original article will not be posted here, it will be removed if posted, as will requests for the URL”. Even so, you might want to follow that discussion.

Jamie Wright provides a link to a New World Notes article which states, “I can now confirm through at least two highly credible sources that the company is indeed investigating these claims.” and “That's really all that can be reported at the moment”. In an update, they provide the link to the discussion on Reddit.

UPDATE: Soda Sullivan comments here “that as one could predict, the story is getting legs and traveling;” Soda provides a link to a Website article named “What On Earth Is Going On With Second Life?”: https://www.themetaculture.co/what-on-earth-is-going-on-wi... This article says that a Discord server named “Let's Talk About It" has been created for Second Life residents to discuss the Medium article. It reports that roughly 266 members were sitting in its channels as of [4] days ago. I searched, and it was not a discoverable server.

UPDATE: If the article is removed from Medium, you can read it here: https://archive.is/https://medium.com/@dantesedmond1844/th...

This post will be further updated when more information is available.

RANDOM THOUGHT ON AN ARCANE TEXTURE, CREEPY NEIGHBORS, CREATIVITY and INTEGRITY

Was reading the back and forth of the infamous "arcane texture on my dance floor" with some interest. I have no connection to anyone involved, including Marianna, but this quote from her post hit home with me:

" they're not just copying pixels—they're co-opting the creative vision and storytelling of the original artist. They're diluting the integrity of the work and robbing it of its unique identity."
That is a huge problem for any creator, from Taylor Swift (who has to re-record her entire library after getting it stolen out from under her), all the way down to the poor guy who created that arcane texture god knows how many years ago years that probably 100 people have used without permission. From all indications, it is truly a bad problem in Open Sim. I wager this is why many artists who support themselves by their work or who want their ideas protected are hesitant to invest time or money into the "wild west' of OSGrid or open sim in general. To reiterate, I am not talking about copying an object or texture or pulling something from Second Life and redoing it. There are legitimate reasons for this. We are talking about the stealing of narrative and overall concepts that an individual created. Basically stealing someone's dream that they have risked sharing with the world.

Here is a small example:

It was only months ago I arrived in OS and decided to open up a small space on the OSGrid, Avedon Park. It was only days after that I was contacted by my landlord (Shout out to Undecel Masala at Masala Estates! THE BEST VIRTUAL LAND PROVIDER IN THE WORLD) regarding two regions that had popped up right next to mine....to be continued.
