Because sharing is caring? 8 people... so up to 4 simultaneous couples at the same time with more than 1000 animations all up! Because it is all flat...you could even make the rug 100% transparent and just place it on a beach! Possibilities are endless - the challenge might be to fill all the sitters!

RafaGuzn: Thank you for the gifts, a little bit too laggy though. It might help to make one package for each product, instead of separated single items. Just a suggestion. 3 months ago

The early morning sun paints the sky with warm, golden hues as it rises on the horizon. The gentle caress of the wind fills the sail of the boat, propelling it effortlessly over the calm and glistening water. It's a perfect start to the day, with the promise of adventure and tranquility ahead.

As you gaze out over the water, you're treated to a mesmerizing sight. Majestic whales breach the surface, their massive bodies breaking through the shimmering waves, and they emit powerful spouts of water as they exhale. Their playful antics in the water create a sense of wonder and awe, as if they are celebrating the new day's beginning.

Amongst the whales, elegant manta rays gracefully glide through the water, their wings undulating like ethereal dancers. They add a touch of grace and beauty to the scene, as if nature itself is putting on a spectacular show just for you.

It's a moment of pure serenity and connection with the natural world.

Winner in each category gets $100,000 in Casino cash! I have seen some really cool costumes being worked on for this. You may say “how could I ever spend $100,000?” Well, one of our blackjack tables is $25,000 minimum 🤣

There will be a special crypt to make sure everyone who attends wins something!

Please invite friends and let’s make it an amazing time! I will be working this week to remind everyone.
Hi Everyone,

My sincerest apologies for having disappeared for a little while. I was sorting out a few things in RL and in the middle of that picked up a viral infection that took a lot out of me.

I am slowly getting back into shape but a few things have changed for me personally which means I am not sure how it will affect my time at Friends, but I will start being around!

Mistress and I have had a good chat this evening and I will getting back on the grid more often.

My poor communication with Mistress will not be recurring and I would like to use this opportunity to publicly apologise for causing Her distress and upset. I thought I was doing the right thing by not burdening Her with my problems, but now see that was not the right thing to do.

If I have upset or offended anyone else with my absence I also apologise to you.

It has been a difficult time for me but I should have not let my problems affect others.

Recently our tech team at H4O and myself have completed a large amount of work to fix lingering issues from the upgrade.

If you see Josh or his Brazilian partner Alex, please feel free to say hello and thank them for their work in this matter. They have both worked many many hours to provide you with an awesome infrastructure for your virtual life.

Although Josh and Alex both have their own grids, I always want them to feel like this is their home.

Good morning all,

This morning I want to share a little insight to try and help your virtual life. My friend Linda had a very rough time recently and that breaks my heart. I want Linda and others enjoying their virtual time…. Not dealing with crashes….so I am going to offer some tips. This will be a long note…. But it is designed to help you enjoy your virtual life.

1. Understand that your virtual experience is composed of many factors including: Opensim, grid server, grid setup, region settings, parcel settings, your computer, your graphic card, your internet connection, your avi grid, your viewer, your viewer preferences, your clothing and or attachments and much more.
2. When there is an issue, I will often ask questions to help determine which variable might be affecting. Am I being defensive…. Noooo…… I am trying to be scientific and look past my own thoughts and biases to improve your virtual experience. When I ask many questions, it may seem like I am “grilling” you….. I apologize for that….I am simply trying to get enough details so I can make your virtual life better. I never try to put all blame on individual….it is shared between myself and individual. I do my best to try to make sure my side of things is correct.
3. There are two different types of crashes: Regular Crash and bug splat.
Bug splat - you receive the infamous bug splat message afterwards. This crash is caused by viewer issue 95% of the time. Things that can cause this: Cache, distance, quality and much more. The higher your quality and distance, the greater the chance of crash. In addition, many times mesh objects can also cause this. The solution…….. thoroughly clean cache like this:




Regular Crashes- this last Sunday we experienced a region crash. These are fairly rare and I am working to get answers and provide a stable environment. In this situation, everyone in a region crashes at once and there is no bug splat. I am terribly sorry and embarrassed for the crash yesterday! We will make things better! Will things be perfect, nooooo, this is Opensim. But I am committed to providing an exceptional stable infrastructure .

It appears that the crash Sunday was caused by a corrupt object (sailboat) being rezzed in our rezz zone. Innocent intentions, but it shut down the region for a few minutes.

4. Cross Grid- I made a decision that people can live here regardless of whether or not they have a friends grid avi. I did that because I do not want to play dictator and order people to have friends grid avi….even though I know it would help some issues.

I want to share a recent story that will help you understand how crazy cross grid can be. Serina and I went shopping at Lunaria on Wolf territory. The experience was the worst experience ever in Opensim. We had trouble moving…. The lag was ungodly. This was not my first time with a bad experience at Wolf.

I sent my friend Luna Lunaria a note…. Letting her know I wanted to be a customer but could not get around her region. Luna was horrified…. But also very supportive of Wolf territory extremely high speed. She told me she has never had issues like I described.

To her credit, Luna made a friends-grid account and then tried to visit Wolf territories. She could not move because the lag was sooooo bad. Wolf territory and ourselves are presently working on this issue. So far it appears to be in Wolfs settings.

I share this story with you all so you understand the complexity of cross grid. In this situation, our Avis worked fine on many other grids…..but not on that.

Cross grid could possibly be making your virtual life more complicated. Realize that with Cross grid, all your data has to be processed through two totally separate systems every time you try to even come to friends-grid.

Am I blaming all your troubles on Cross grid…..Nooooooo. However, it is a variable that must be considered.

In the example I shared, technically I was able to go to lunaria at Wolf territory ….so it is not that I was banned. My experience was awful……but my friend Luna helped prove the situation by making a friends-grid avi. Wolf territories and friends-grid are simply not communicating as well as they should….making a negative experience if I visit there. This same issue can happen any day with any grid; just realize when your avi is not from our own grid; it is having to go through two systems….and some days there will be issues. I know our communication with osg is not perfect….but all I can do is fix my side. I have no control over what OSG does or does not do.

5. I ask you all to clean cache, consider system, look at avi, and preferences; but please realize I am trying to do a bit also. These things take time and money….but I am committed to providing the best virtual experience. I say this not to make anyone feel bad, but so you understand.
Friends-grid has always had a powerful dedicated server, but last month I added a second one . Our first server was much stronger than most in Opensim …and now we have the second in place. The speeds I have noticed on grid have been stupid fast since adding second server.

Friends-grid has a system of triple back ups in place….. and these backs are done every hour. This is an extremely detailed security system….but it is in place for you….and your virtual experience.

6. Haters - I am fully aware that there are people who hate me personally and want nothing else other than to see me fail and friends-grid fail. I try to not be over paranoid, but I also try to be aware. Sometimes the issues that you see or feel may be coming from others, intentionally or unintentionally. We will constantly monitor.


In closing, I could easily add 1,000 or 10,000 sims overnight like some others have; but my goal is on the quality of your virtual experience, not how many sims I own.

I want to make this an amazing experience for YOU!
All - Earthquake in Marrakesh Update 10/09/23

We have moved from our badly damaged home in Marrakesh to the capital Rabat - our power/broadband/telephone is very patchy but I have managed to make contact with Alex (Princess Alex), who will run the ILU side of things with Bobbi Fox, while we assess damage and living arrangements for the family.

Its just been announced over 2000 deaths and hundreds of injured - one close friend hasnt made it but he pulled his parents out of their wrecked family home.

Please pray for us and all those affected by this disaster.

We will see you all soon I hope.

Good morning everyone!

I am looking forward to being back home and visiting with you all.

My trip has been good, but difficult dealing with daily heat index of 120 +degrees and three hours sleep. I am ready for some rest!

For our members who love racing, I got to see something cool yesterday.

Last night I sat in the actual F1 and Indy race cars driven by some guys named Michael, Mario and Marco. I guess they are a kind of well known racing family. racing family. Very nice people…..but they would not give me the keys!

I am tentatively planning on sailing Sunday at noon and hope to see many of you! Sailboat, speedboat, modded script……. I don’t care what you use…..we simply sail for fun!
Miss Safine and the tech guys have worked their magic and the Annihilation region is back up. Reggie kindly assisted with some testing earlier so if you feel the need to take out a few zombies head on over!
thank you all for taking time out of busy schedules. Huge thank you to Reggie for playing some amazing music! It was an evening I will not forget, and I thank each of you! and ty Lily for the Pic! 31 people!!!!!

PinDeluca: Well Done Everyone - Was a great night 10 months ago
Just wanted to give a shout out to the team that has made friends-grid totally rock!

Sometimes the techies get overlooked, and they are the people who make this virtual world possible.

friends-grid is not a simple job to run….it is probably a pain in the butt because I have a minor addiction to scripts.

These guys are how I hosted a huge party yesterday with 31 people and 8,000 scripts in that region alone…. with no lag!

Thank you hosting4opensim
