Anyone Know What Happened To One Of My Fav Sci-fi Regions?
Liked by:

It’s been gone for months now.
The fact that some people are only noticing this now
suggests the SIM wasn’t that important, was it?!
As you can read there – and I’ve been there myself – these are items that must well and truly date back to OpenSim’s early days.
Just keep it in mind; that should be enough.

It was running on a really old version of open sim, I think it was version 8. something. I often wondered how long it would last being so outdated. I hope somebody out there has an OAR and brings the region back on an up to date version. The stuff in the shops is really old, but I had fun rummaging around looking for some gems.

Yeah, Lani and Ixi were stuck on some 0.8.2.2 dev version, I think. They were definitely BoM-compatible, otherwise there would have been masses of complaints about Lani wrecking BoM avatars. Besides, I've never had any problems there, and I'm a BoM early adopter.
Remember those people mover strips? Their script stopped working in OpenSim 0.9.3.0 or 0.9.3.1, just like a whole lot of other scripts no longer work properly (AVsitter, almost all vehicle rezzers) or at all. At Lani, these strips kept working.
I don't think anyone has an OAR of Lani. If at all, that'd have to be Lani herself, regularly backing Lani up. After all, her tenants kept adding new stuff after she had left, so if she had made the last backup OAR prior to her departure, it would be outdated now.
Also, just because it's old, doesn't mean it's objectively bad and useless. Even though probably the vast majority of OpenSim users would loudly disagree and say that there are, in fact, not much more than six places around the Hypergrid where it's worth picking up stuff.
This is particularly sad in the cases of those who either don't have shops elsewhere, or whose shops keep disappearing or have disappeared altogether, who have cleared stuff out of their other shops that was still available at Lani.
A good example is Vbinnia Radek whose legendary Steam sim is hit-and-miss at best when it comes to it being online. She must have had everything squeezed together at Lani as well, even including Arcadia Asylum items. Good luck collecting Vbinnia's boxes now, especially with the extra challenge of finding boxes that are still credited to her as opposed to other store owners who didn't know how to properly save their freebie sim as an OAR and restore it.

At first I thought the beacon is simply offline again. But now I've discovered that OSgrid doesn't list Lani at all anymore, not even as a sim that doesn't respond.
I know that Lani Global has left OpenSim years ago but promised to keep her sims online, also out of respect for the many tenants with shops at Lani. It almost looks like she finally broke her promise and removed both Lani and Ixi from OSgrid to shut them down for good.
This would really be a pity, especially what with all the exclusive (and legal!) content available there.
