Dear friends,
What a wonderful party it was on Tuesday night! Our DJ Anamari transported us to an extraordinary Sevillian Fiesta, giving us a one-of-a-kind experience! And what a wonder it was to explore the inspiring beauty of the city of Seville, a true jewel of Andalusia.
The details of the decorations enveloped us in a spell, recreating the atmosphere of Seville's fascinating plazas. Each element was a tribute to the artistic and cultural richness of this thousand-year-old city. The vibrant colors, soft lighting and intricate details transported us directly into the picturesque streets of this magical city.
And what about our incredible Anamari? With her artistry, she paid homage to Seville's rich musical tradition, making us dance to the enthralling rhythms of Spanish and Sevillian music. She led us on an aural journey through melodies that evoke the passions and emotions of this wonderful city.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Anamari, for giving us a taste of a little piece of your fascinating land, Spain! Your performance was a true celebration of the culture and joie de vivre that characterize Seville.
I can only thank each of you for once again making that evening so special.
I look forward to meeting again soon for more similar adventures, immersing ourselves once again in the beauty and energy of other beautiful evenings like this one.
See you again soon!

To all the folks who hope to create RP sims sadly in Opensims they don't work. RP should be a large group effort. Opensims just don't have enough people, Unlike SL where there is 1000's online at any given day. At the end of the day we create/build for ourselves which isn't a bad thing.

***Important Announcement to Grid Owners***
I'm an Admin on Wolf Territiories Grid. Our residents, Passionae Love and Chief JudahBean are NOT Passion Jumanji, nor do they have anything to do with her. I have personally voice verified that they are not Passion Jumanji or her alts. Please do not ban them thinking they are Jumanji alts. They only want to visit your grid peacefully and enjoy what open sim has to offer.

The wall is growing it's true, but there is plenty of room for more. Allow us to invite you to join our Friends of The Genesis Roleplay Grid HUD. Here we'll place a walk through (collision) teleporter with your logo and grid address so that when people walk through they will be teleported to your grid and the region you select. At Genesis Roleplay Grid we are working to create a more positive and cooperative atmosphere in Open Sim and we're doing it by networking grids and sharing anything that we can to help our "Friends'" grids succeed. The process is easy, contact me, Lavia Lavine, and send me your logo and the address and rezz point for your grid's chosen destination, and that's it. It's just that simple. Why do we do this? Because we want to, and we can. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Just a reminder that we have land available at very reasonable prices and we're making them available to whomever wishes to own their own regions. You do NOT have to be a role player to own a region with us, but we do ask that you are active and work to make the grid a successful community in Open Sim. If you're interested contact me and we'll discuss the particulars. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Hello, Lovely Opensimworlder's.. Infinity 21 just launched the new " BLISS " roller skating rink and potential club. Just a few little touches will be added to it but it is open and in Kong City section of the region. Look Under King Kong! :) Any questions just message me on opensimworld.com or see me in Wolf Territories Grid. *** set to midnight for best view ***

Well, as they say, better late than never. We've done about two months of testing and ironed out a lot of bugs (I say a "lot" because it has been horrendous at times). I think we are now in a positions to go "live" and relax a bit.

We have renamed Opengrid to Castlehenge and downsized from 5x5 to 4x4 in an effort to make both regions the same size. As a result, I had to delete a lot of stuff from the outer edges. All the Athena and Decadence stuff has now gone as there is so much of it all over Opensim it was redundant. That has left us with a lot fewer freebies but we have retained Ruth and Roth, Selea Core, Paramount as well as the Clutterfly Warehouse and other open source stuff. Oh, and Synclair Designs is still there, too - authorised mesh women's clothing imports from SL textured in Opensim.

On the technical side; We are still having a few native problems with inventory - missing body parts and EOC errors but they do not seem to affect day to day running of the sims. I've tested hypergrid from another grid and there seems to be a glitch with bakes on mesh. The avatar looks fine to the user, but others see their body as white (no textures). It does not affect clothing, whether mesh or not. A workaround is for the visitor to toggle "Appearance Mode". Then the appearance is normal. This only needs doing once, I'm assuming so that the sim gets texture updates from your home server. Avatars already on the sim look fine to the visitor. We are running Opensimulator version 0.9.2.10 Yetti Release Unix/Linux/Mono Server.

OK, well that's it for now, I'm going to lie down in a darkened room for a while LOL.

My latest memorial is a very very special one. It is a memorial for my mother, a victim of cancer at the age of 50. She taught me so much of how to be a decent human being and to respect others. It took a woman like her to raise a kid like me and I'm grateful to God that she was my mother. She wasn't perfect by a long shot, but she was the perfect mom for me. So I wanted to have a memorial for her in the Park for Mother's day. If you have a loved one you would like to have memorialized in the Haven of Memories, just let me know, we can discuss the particulars and there is no charge, it's a free service because I care. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This site is monetized. People buy coins to post on the mainpage using RL money. People can choose to do paid ads to showcase their regions and content. People also pay for premium memberships to have extra features. But the moderation is next to nil. Yes, a recent troll was FINALLY removed after DAYS of toxic barrage. But it took way too long. And while the account was removed, the box was not cleared of their comments.

Yes we can block people. But since griefers and trolls make countless alts it's a constant issue. If you're making money off a site, it needs to be moderated. The site owner and manager needs to try to ensure that users have a good or bare minimum usable experience.

And while I recognize that one person may not be able to manage it all, there's been no effort to recruit other moderators. And I do think any potential new moderators should be paid for their time and effort. After all, the site makes money off the many users who pay into it.

It's feeling pretty frustrating and futile right now. This can be a great tool to connect with other OpenSim folks. And it's a great way to see what people are building and find new regions. For the folks who like parties, they can see events. But yeah it's been more irritation than joy lately.

📅 Date: Tuesdy, May 7
🕒 Time: 12.30 SLT
We are ready to kick off the party, only you are missing!!! Beautiful Sevillian party! What are you waiting for?

Hey everyone, I love dreamgrid and what Fred does, but sometimes with new beta version you get bugs. Until apache is fixed our website will be down. We need apache because we use joomla.

Hoping it is back up soon.

ps. I know we can roll back but when apache borked its a pain to roll back.
