You Can't Have A Poll Without Being Political
My Pol. Sci. professor said "politics happen whenever two people get together". That makes avoiding politics difficult. However, politics is more generally associated with making decisions in a group. And because of their role in elections and government decision-making, polls are a major part of the political landscape. An election itself is a poll (the only important one say some). Before and after elections, polls are a critical tool for gauging the "will of the people" beyond what simple election results can show. Polls are, by their nature, political.

A poll on OSW says that the will of the people here is that this is not a place for politics. But if you don't want politics on OSW, you lose just by voting.

Not that it matters. Polling results in OWS are not enforceable and will not stop political posts. Want to do something effective? Block people.

Everyone else is invited to an extended stay in the BDSM by MAGA region, where the beatings will continue until the complaining stops.

Hello, I was asked tonight why I try to hide behind another account or at the mall. I am not hiding; I am the same person. Dallas came from a long-term relationship, and now I want to clean up and move forward—nothing more.

The Junction Mall has many new items, a small coffee house, and too many products to list, as they are still being arranged. I will not post every new item because there are simply too many. The men's section is also being worked on, and it takes time for everything to come together. Additionally, there is a spot for houses and other items.

Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for something specific or have an idea. Just have fun!

Released a Fading Slide Show TV (Copy/Modify) this afternoon also. NOTE: It doesn't look like the AD. After landing at the main landing wait until you're fully rezzed and then hit this link to land in front of the item; hop://hg.twiztidtimezgrid.com:8602/Building%20Emporium/387...

Good afternoon! The new Release of the Shoutcast & DJ Board with Remote has been updated. This updated corrected the error that would occur every time someone selected Color from the Menu. Included a total of 202 Radio stations, an ON/OFF Button and tweaked a couple other things. Still full perm for you to use as you wish. It should be stated that we are passing it along with permissions as we found it in another grid. We just fixed existing errors and tweaked a few things and added more stations. As always you'll land in the mainlanding of Building Emporium. Wait until it's fully rezzed then hit this LINK here to land in front of the item; hop://hg.twiztidtimezgrid.com:8602/Building%20Emporium/393...

i am looking for a clothing designer to create a shortened Yukata just above the knee for females. I need it for the following bodies: Athena, LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, Perky, Petites and Mesh/Classic Style. They all need to be the same look (pictured above)

Dear Hypergridders. Alas Utopia Skye Grid has turned into a closed grid, so you cant visit it anymore unless you create an avatar at USG. I have set up now a new mainstore at Kitely Grid and I have been busy with adjust pricing and complete my Kitely Market Store. Soon I will place a beacon at my world at Kitely Grid, so you can travel freely again to see my creations. In the meantime you find most of it at Kitely Market. https://www.kitely.com/market?store=46457920

Election season is near and Miser wants to take control of the Greedy Creek swamp in order to get one over on Ms Chopsy! If only he could convince everyone that Helga is nothing more than a silly old hag who's lost her mind. Unbeknownst to Miser but known to us: Helga is 'The Architect' :: behind the scenes all along, it has been HER who has been pulling the strings and spinning the tides of Chaos! Don't bother voting, the machines were already rigged. Who won the election? YOU DID by taking a mild peek at this element of the absurd! Peace & Love!

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his live radio station Wax Radio.
The Piazza, where good friends and great music always come together.

Zitat von Dorena: *Ich bin ebenfalls zahlender Kunde; im Gegensatz zu einigen Kritikern hier unterstütze ich diese Plattform finanziell.*

Quote from Dorena: *I am also a paying customer; unlike some critics here, I financially support this platform.* How do you know that? Everyone who pays 600 coins to post on their homepage financially supports this platform.

I didn’t build the Cannabis Information Center to promote anything.

I built it because I lived through it.

Years ago, I was prescribed Neurontin for nerve pain. It became toxic in my system and I spent eight hours in a code blue room. After that, I made a decision to take a different path and began using CBD as part of my care.

For the past ten years, it has helped me manage neuropathic pain, calm my nervous system, and get through the nights.

My journey hasn’t been perfect. My latest MRI shows progression. MS doesn’t move in a straight line—it surges, it settles, and sometimes it overpowers what we use to manage it.

But I also know this: CBD helped me maintain stability and function for many years.

This space was created so others can learn for themselves.

THE INIQUITOUS FUN FAIR — An OpenSim Story

What a crazy time we live in. The news cycle shows you a town in crisis while HIDING the story which should get coverage. But here in OpenSim, we have a Virtual Town in Crisis; that is... THE REAL STORY... and all of you are invited.

Dismayland exists because of worldly conflict. It was inspired by Banksy, whose art has always held a mirror to the absurd. As an NPC enthusiast, I found a wellspring of ideas to draw from, even without seeing the original exhibit in person. My thought was simple: What if theme parks were truly honest with their customers?

As a Florida resident within driving distance of every major theme park... and well aware of the drama surrounding them... this scenario was too good to pass up. Everything here is fictitious, but loosely based on reality in ways that will be obvious only to those who follow local news. Take that for what you will.

What we have here is a Digital Virtual Novel you can explore. Leave your worries behind. Enjoy a nonsensical portrayal of the ridiculous... because that is what entertainment is. Nothing that happens here influences the outside world, as someone was kind enough to point out. What is a virtual novel without plot twists, corruption and some intrigue?

Enter the Dismayland Scavenger Hunt.

Dirty Helga and I were brainstorming maddening additions for Dismayland. I reject most of what Hollywood produces these days, so I turned to older films for inspiration. I have seen scavenger hunts before but they were far too easy. I wanted something epic.. something outright crazy, yet honestly solvable.

What emerged: a game board that remotely renames objects, a separate script that deploys roaming 'sploder' drones dropping clues, deceitful NPCs, misdirection, MISINFORMATION and a cow being abducted by aliens who holds nothing but contempt for that insufferable game board. All of these elements were already present in Dismayland. I just needed code to make it all work together... and that is where the turpitude of Dirty Helga shines. Nobody knows the lore better than her, and she was instrumental in stitching it all together.

There will always be some politics in OpenSim. My plan is to keep whatever exists here specific to the grid... not reality. When you're ready for your ESCAPE, The Iniquitous Fun Fair awaits.

Most mornings I am at Dismayland sipping coffee with my script editor open. Care to pop in for some coding conversation?
Maybe I can start using the Happy Hour feature.

NEW at Bodies & Clothing: Lots and lots of new female hairstyles, from short to mid length and from long to OMG I stepped on it long. Come see for yourself at Bodies & Clothing, take the "girl hair" (yes, I know, but I was limited in the number of characters I could use so "female hair" didn't fit) option from the telepad menu and stock up on new gorgeous hair.

OR...

Should freedom of expression, parody and creativity be allowed and even encouraged?
Or should it be blocked for all by the few or the one.
I have no drama in anyone blocking me, I'm an adult.
Use the vote you have, but both sides should have a say.

Schade das viele hier das nicht wahrhaben wollen und glauben man kann sich in virtuellen Welten diesen Wahnsinn entziehen. Glaubt, was ihr wollt, aber lasst mich hier meine Überzeugung und auch meine Meinung kundzutun. Man muss mich nicht lesen, wenn man nicht will. Aber mich und meine entsprechenden Beiträge hier zu bekämpfen, rückt euch ziemlich nahe in die Richtung, welches mein Bild aufzeigt. Schönen Tag noch.

It's a shame that many here refuse to accept this and believe they can escape this madness in virtual worlds. Believe what you want, but let me express my conviction and my opinion here. You don't have to read me if you don't want to. But attacking me and my posts here will bring you pretty close to the direction I'm painting. Have a nice day.

Come on over for a night of Music and Conversation we will have DJ Mystic Moonshine 5pm to 7 pm Gtid time Saturday April 18th Spinning Some of the best from the 50s to Today and After Mystic we will be having a Social Voice Chat at the lounge 7pm till??? so come on over and join us!!!

I have this great review I want to share about Dismayland by Spax Orion https://opensimworld.com/user/Brettson

If you havent checked it out please do. Spax and his cool twisted mind knew what he was doing when he built this. There is no region anywhere like it.

The scripts alone speak for themselves. It is dark, creepy, funny and lots of fun.

I had a chance to check out his new ScavHunt game. The past few days I have spent hours in his region just playing that game and trying to win it which I eventually did. Maybe with a little help lol. It is one of those games that keeps you on the edge.

The region is like walking through a bad nightmare but in a cool twisted way that you get curious enough to check it out.

His mind created things that I would have never guessed you could even do in opensim. The detail, the music, the afterlife the insanity lol. It is a great region.

All I got to say is hats off to Spax and if you all want to check it out, copy the link below and put it into the map.



xoaox.de:7000:Dismayland

In short, I don't think Politics belongs on the OSW page. There is Facebook, Instagram, tictoc and other social media platforms to express our views. Most of us come here to Opensim to escape the BS, and we use the OSW page to see what is new in Opensim, not to have to deal with more ideologies and agendas. Please keep the politics out of the OSW page.

This is ToyBoy. We all know him as an active OpenSim user in OSW. He has many projects that inspire us, beautiful sims he invites us to, great events, technical support—what more can I say? A valiant champion of the OpenSim idea. Because of his diverse activities within Hypergrid, a certain troublemaker has rightfully caught his eye.

Now for the kicker: Dorena Verne, who occasionally posts political images with little captions. Yes, truly awful anarchist stuff from the wicked, wicked left-wing corner, ugh. Our eyes, like those of other users, are glued to these terrible images; we're paralyzed and can neither scroll on nor ignore the wicked Dorena, the power of a wicked witch.

What does Dorena actually do for OpenSim? Just offer several regions for HG visitors, hold at least one event per week. Or, yes, she recently posted a complete backup strategy for a grid under Linux.

Ridiculous!!!!

What's that compared to the sheer number of OpenSim-related posts from our highly esteemed ToyBoy? Just look at his profile; it would take you hours to take it all in!!

Yes, I'm that wicked Dorena, and I'm blushing with shame at ToyBoy's tremendous contributions to OpenSim!!

Okay, I hope you'll take this post with a grain of salt. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Das ist ToyBoy. Wir kennen ihn alle als aktiven OpenSim user im OSW. Er hat viele Projekte, die uns begeistern, schöne SIM's in der er uns einlädt, tolle Events, technische Hilfen, was soll ich sagen. Ein wackerer Streiter für die OpenSim Idee. Aufgrund seiner vielfältigen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Hypergrids ist ihm rechtschaffend eine böse Userin im Auge.
Nun kommts: Dorena Verne, die hin und wieder auch mal politische Bilder mit kleinen Bilderkommentaren postet. Ja, wirklich ganz schlimmes anarchistisches Zeug aus der bösen, bösen linken Ecke, pfui. Die Augen, wie auch die anderer User kleben an diesen furchtbaren Bildern fest, Sie sind gelähmt und können weder weiterscrollen noch die böse Dorena ignorieren, die Macht einer bösen Hexe.
Was tut Dorena schon groß für OpenSim? Nur etliche Regionen für HG-Besucher anbieten, mindestens einmal die Woche ein Event. Oder, ja vor kurzen mal eine komplette Backupstrategie für ein Grid unter Linux gepostet.
Lächerlich!!!!
Was ist das schon gegen die Vielzahl an themenbezogenen OpenSim Beiträgen unseres hochgeschätzten ToyBoy? Schaut in sein Profil, ihr werdet Stunden brauchen diese Menge zu erfassen!!
Ja, ich bin diese böse Dorena und Schamesröte steigt mir ins Gesicht ob dieser gewaltigen Einsätze von Toyboy für OpenSim!!
Ok, hoffe ihr seht diesen Beitrag mit etwas Humor. :-)

Trump Orders Use Of Secret Time Travel Technology to Fight Anti-Fascists.

A special task force of FBI, CIA, FDA, FCC, and WWE WrestleMania operatives have looked into the treasonous activities of Anti-Fascists, AKA Antifa. Together, they have uncovered evidence of Antifa activity within and on behalf of the U.S. government. As a WWE Hall of Fame honoree and Commander-In-Chief, Trump has ordered that America’s secret time-travel technology be used to cut Antifa off at its roots, way back in the 1940's, and even earlier.

Have a look at what we are fighting – a woke U.S. Department of War and it’s insidious anti-racism, pro-immigrant, religious diversity, DEI, anti-fascist propaganda. What in thunderation?

We had our fun.

Dorena was kept very busy with it, and she had a pleasant way to spend the day, seems she loves drama!
I am not particularly impressed by the threatening messages regarding legal action that I received. She has no case.

Unfortunately, knowing Dorena, all of this will not mean that she stops making nonsensical political statements on our OpenSim platform. It seems she is already busy again with an alt account, Sylvester.

My actions were intended to make clear that many people on this platform are completely fed up with her nonsense.
Who knows, maybe she will mend her ways someday ;)

I will follow Bink Draconia her advise and delete the post I did and wish you all a nice day.

HI all, So Wolf Software Systems Ltd owns Wolf Territories Grid. Some time ago, we released some software called WolfStack for running server clusters. It will run on top of Proxmox or any Linux distribution (sorry, not Windows). The website is https://wolfstack.org. It's free to use and has a lively discord group. We actually run Wolf Territories Grid on it.

We've put RCBot's OSFest 2026 Dates poll in the polling channel on the OSFest Discord server. If you are not on Discord and want to vote we can vote as your proxy. The choices are Aug 17-31, 2026 or Oct 12-26, 2026 - here to help if needed! Most OSFest Events will be on different grids scheduled via the updated OSFest Calendar application. The poll will be up for the remainder of April 2026 so everyone has a chance to vote.

Best of Bad Event Ideas: #1001
The Best At Tough-Guy Talk

Listen up, Mr. Smell-fungi and Ms. Mun-dungi. We’re having a “Best At Tough-Guy Talk” event, and we need more losers like you to attend. You know, the kind of person who shoots someone in a dream and wakes up to apologize. Someone who is as scary as a ruthless spelling bee contender. People who think they are a main character but are only an extra their own movie. You know the kind. Bald coot, bananaquit, leech-eating, plain-wandering stinkbirds. So come on, Mr. and Ms. Niny-Hammer of Noodles. Join all the other barbers, tailors, panders and procurers, parasites, and lick-spittles for an evening of real tough talk. Or are you just a facetious pettifogger?

Why is The Best At Tough-Guy Talk a bad event idea? Some people will take the insults seriously, like they do with OSW posts.
