The underwater world at friends -grid has been under construction...and will be built in 3-4 separate phases. Phase 1 (the coral reef) is now open and ready for visitors. This is my attempt to share what I have seen in my travels.

It is hard to describe being in the middle of 100,000 fish and bright corals.....but I hope this will help you experience a special part of my life. Phase 2 will be mermaid area........but.....keep in mind...mermaids can swim anywhere and enjoy the reef.

The reef includes two ship wrecks, two massive groupings of Pillar corals that you can walk through (yes....I have been in coral like these that was 75’ tall). Also on the reef: Sharks, rays, turtle, hermit crabs, jelly fish and approximately 50 different types of coral. Serina provided some custom made corals for this project which was a huge help! There is a lot to see.....take your time and enjoy!

I will be sending all an updated teleport board with this added today.

Woking on Posters for the Darwin Eco Hub, as well as other things - like Gif animated pictures and screens ! Dont have a lot of time during the week. Hoping this weekend i will be able to crack on lot's more. You are all free to come over and take a look anytime - if you are interested !

END OF REGION PARTY IDEA'S
Hello Beautiful friends.... our old region is coming to an end and we will be re-birthed soon. In light of that, we are thinking about an end of region party .... We would love Reggie to DJ if you are available, and of course have all the regulars together to say good bye to the old... and welcome the new ! QUESTION..... which weekend day is best and what time... So let us know in comments when you are available over the next 2 weekends if you would like to come and take part. It would be awsome for a friends wide participation. Does anyone want to build something special for the night ? Any particular music choices? Any dress code? etc.... let us know your thoughts . We will make it special XXXX

Subject : Bans and grid bans

In the last 24 hours , I have had my personal area attacked,
As well as had threats from an individual because his grid is banned.

Let me explain a few things:

1. I hate bans….and wish people would respect each other in open sim. I have one individual on ban, and hope there is never more.

2. Grid bans - I have never banned an entire grid ; however, our tech team has carried over the same security settings from their experiences. I Can have these lifted, but to be honest, I prefer being a little more secure.

As an example, I have a guy who is furious he is unable to access friends. I visited with Josh on it, and individual caused much trouble for them in the past. He used to be a part of Sacrarium and now claims to be an angel. He is banned from all of the grids that Josh oversees.

I can over rule tech and demand that these people be allowed, but at this point; I prefer to respect the opinion of the person I have hired to keep us running and safe.

Should you make a friend and they cannot get here, have them try a different avi.

If they are unable to get here with any avi, means your friend is not quite as innocent as they seem and they have a Mac ip ban.

If it is super important friend, I will consider all views, but my first thought is to go with my tech manager’s suggestions.

I wish everybody could always come here….but realize we try to allow 95% of the people access.

I try to avoid this as much as possible.

Hello all, I have decided that I am going to do a little sail every Sunday at noon. This is not a formal event.....more of a "hop in and join if you want....no bad feelings if you dont".

Every sunday....I will be working on my sailing skills........I understand if you prefer to sail faster.......but also wanted to extend the invitation.

Good Morning everyone, I want to share a little bit of news with you.

friends-grid is up and running and so far the oar transfer looks great!!! We have not added all the additional regions yet.......but we got friends moved!

there is a welcome island thing where you land at first...I am trying to bypass that...but will let you know.
I will try to share the new location with you soon, I am just trying to let them get a few more things done first. I may be here in my afternoon today like I was yesterday


We worked on this until late last night, but I just got up and tried to log in on the new avi I made for myself. I got logged in, but not as a noobie......I am logged in and saw I was wearing my same body, hair skin and outfit that I wore yesterday on my aviworlds avi. The iar worked perfectly!!!!!! I do not have to make a new body! For Lily and reggie with aviworlds accounts; if you want to make a friends-grid account...this is huge!

I am super excited.......more news soon!

Almost the weekend!

By the way, The temp here right now is 104f or 40c

That’s getting warm!

You will be glad to know my puppy has central air conditioning, 4 oscillating fans and two buckets of ice water. Gotta take care of our pets!!!
