Oh Hella, thank you. but your work is mesmerizing, you capture the spirit of a person. I created a Black/White gallery once, what made it different with my work is I would select just a small portion of the image like a flower and invert it, and fill a tint of color to just that one flower, leaving the rest of the scene black and white. That one pop of color is amazing and gave it such a unique perspective to the piece. I will post one and show you in IM. Thank you again.

This is the last I will say on this my comments were maxed out with Suzi. I posted here for now 3 days because this has hurt me. You ask how can it hurt anyone? I have to tell you that seeing a member of our community under constant attack every day for the last two months causes mental anguish. You say just block her, just do not read her. I had hoped it would not come to that but I see now that you are deleting comments so the narrative will be your own, our comments really don't matter to you. Since you are determined to continue then I will no longer be reading you, I don't like the spirit of these posts or the deleting of comments. Suzi admitted in her comment that it is to flush out the Trump supporters at Opensim? At least Suzi is honest.

I think Dorena has already stated her criteria for deleting comments, and those are where she comes in for unwarranted personal attacks. If you feel hurt, then I suggest growing a bit more of a thick skin. While you're about it, take a look at GlennXpletive's profile here on OSW if you think you've had a hard time under attack.

I have deleted comments to my posts in the past, and I dare say I will do so again. Sometimes the comments are irrelevant, which is common here given that so many seem to glean their information from far-right/alt-right/conspiracy theory sites as well as sometimes going off on a rant completely unrelated to the post.

I've written this previously, and it needs re-iterating, no one's freedom of speech is being breached through having their comment deleted from a post here. Anyone can post their opinion elsewhere if they so choose, or even set up their own website to peddle their own take on things.

When you said this "Do you love having to repeat what you say over and over again?" And another comment here said for me to go somewhere else, and another told me that my comments are not based in reality, yes I went to the Cleo post and took my comment down there. You might have gained a few followers posting political posts - but I now realize my comments on your posts don't matter. Nobody hacked you, Opensimworld is not hacked. I do repeat myself over and over sometimes I have Multiple Sclerosis, I do that when things matter to me trying to get my point across. The comments that were deleted on this and the other thread were a reply to you, I am unable to remove your own posts or others. I did not delete those. You already explained how that can happen.

It's not that the issues of the world are unimportant, but rather that Opensim is often not the appropriate venue for such discussions. Many users come here specifically to escape the constant barrage of real-world concerns, seeking instead a space where they can relax and engage with others in a different, more positive way.

Thank you Milly when we started this project it was before mesh and the grid I was at did not have Kitely deliveries at that time so we had to create from scratch or bring some from SL with permission, I have notes of numerous creator permissions, that is how it was done then. It took lots of collaboration and sharing to make it happen. That is why now with all the resources at our fingertips our worlds can be totally phenomenal.

These individuals are not here to contribute positively or to help build and grow our virtual world. Instead, they are sowing discord, creating divisions, and holding our community hostage to discussions that have no place in this space. Opensim was created as a haven for creativity, collaboration, and the shared joy of building something unique togetherโ€”not as a battleground for real-life political or religious disputes. We are not trying to silence Dorena, we just want our space to be positive place where we can create this is not RL.

Focus energies that help opensim to flourish to not be at odds. Or to be held hostage with hate.

Dorena creates beautiful videos and AI, I would much rather see her videos promoting opensim and creativity. It has nothing to do with silencing her at all. I am a creator, when I open my browser and first thing I see is Trump or Putin all my creativity takes a nose dive, She deleted one of my comments explaining this she replied back to me to just block or not read her. Does she really want us all to block her is that her goal? What I see is this all started when she was attacked for her views, I get that - but by continuing this she is letting the other guy win because she stays wallowing in the same pit of dispair. Rise up!

You are ranting extensively, but not once do I see you directly responding to her explanation that, if someone deletes their own comment, or Dorena herself deletes a comment from above your comment in the comment hierarchy, all replies to said comment are deleted. You are smart and I know you can comprehend her explanations, rather than making her repeat it over and over, and then ignoring it and seeing only what you wish to see, and replying on what you wish to rant about. If you have so many issues with her posts, why are you making so many comments? There are other agendas at play here, it seems. I guess I don't understand why so many are always ganging up on Dorena. And why do so many ignore the hate speech and horrible derogatory words that people like GlennXpletive use? Seems it is ok to be a bully and a hateful person, so long as people have a political camp in common.

There is no agenda at play here, I have been in opensim nearly as long as Dorena, I have watched her post for years and never seen her under attack. The "people at play" since Glenn fight are trolls who want to silence her, this is what I am taking such offense at, she is constantly under attack now since the Glenn fight, he has been banned yet she continues on posting messages to him here at OSW when he cannot reply. Making it all public for months. Opensimworld isn't the place for public fighting is the point I am making. The comments deleted were ones I commented to her, 3 she then explained someone commented vile so she had to remove it, the reason you are seeing what you term ranting from me is because of comment removals, it looks like ranting when she does this, makes the person replying look like a ranter. Why all this needs to stop it takes conversations out of context then people are misunderstood.

This is a Opensim public forum not a battleground I know your stance of stand up and fight, but fight who? All of "us" cause Glenn cannot post now. Suzi said it was to flush out Trumpistas, I am not one and even if I were this is not the place for that, Opensim is international I doubt they will flush out that many here.

I don't like to see my friends attacked. She made it obvious she will continue, I will close the window now, this is what I wanted to avoid. The trolls all are doing the good ol bait and switch routine with comments and she is now doing this to all her friends (she has to when they spew the hate towards her) I replied to you to try to clarify yet once again, with all my comments I would think you would see my true motive which is wanting to keep a friend from spiraling down the hate path with the trolls. And taking us with her, this is when I close that door.

Seriously, Opensim is a blank canvas, and can be used for whatever any creator wishes, good or evil or even just bland and neutral. Politics is only ever only just below the surface, and to many of us it's an important subject. Those who are not interested, or who just don't want to be involved are free to not involve themselves.

Rise up means to rise up above negativity. It started when your views were attacked.

You are hellbent on "feeling" we are all out to attack you, not all of us.

Any separation is illusory. We are the same people, and Opensim isn't a different world, just an extension of our very real world.

While separation between the virtual and real worlds may be seen as illusory, boundaries still play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and purpose of different spaces. Just as we might choose different environments for work, relaxation, or socializing in real life, Opensim can be a space where people choose to focus on creativity, community, and personal well-being, free from the divisiveness of real-world issues.
The posts are not just views against Donald Trump these posts are to create a rise and obtain likes. Dorena commented (then removed it) saying the likes on her post indicate her posts are well received then she gets attacked for those very views which continues the hate. Which divides us. I agree, with you it is obvious what the goal is here to me since Dorena cannot vote in USA, this is purely for a rise and likes. With no real concern for the opensim community or who it harms.
like(0)
Firstly, there is no separation between the supposed virtual and real worlds: they are merely different aspects of the same. Dorena does not post the things she does for likes or to derive vicarious pleasure. Nothing she posts will cause any harm to anyone, unless they're oversensitive Trump supporters, and I won't shed any tears over them! No, Dorena's concerns go way beyond the Opensim 'community' to the wider community of the whole world, which will be a much nastier and more dangerous place if the likes of Trump are allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

As I have already written elsewhere. We are all real people and not just avatars, the two cannot be separated. I think it is important to discuss such elementary things, particularly because of the opportunity to exchange ideas internationally in OpenSim. And no one is prevented from limiting themselves to OpenSim. When OpenSim was first founded, I did a lot for the community. And yes, I have a lot of experience with OpenSim. But it is difficult to assert yourself against many know-it-alls and wannabe admins.

Where I take offense is when we post off topics like this that cause the rise, then when we comment on it, our comments are deleted so then the conversation makes no sense and causes more community confusion, is that the goal? Three or four of my comments were deleted here and not by me. That was knocking me down 3 pegs.

I am staying out of the shit show here for the most but I have to say, no one can give a blanket statement on why we go to OS.

On my lands we have many churches, and many of us bring religion of ALL kinds to Opensim. There is room for all, and some of us do want politics and religion as part of the worlds we make.

But there is room for all.

On here, OSW? I guess we can't have nice things. Sadly these discussion always go this way.

It's important to recognize that Opensim is a diverse and expansive platform, allowing each of us to create the worlds we envision, complete with the elements that matter most to us. Whether it's building churches, setting up campaign headquarters, or creating spaces that reflect our personal beliefs, Opensim offers the freedom to design and inhabit the virtual environments we choose.

No one is saying that you can't have a church or a voting booth, or that politics and religion have no place on your grid. In fact, one of the strengths of Opensim is that it provides room for all kinds of expression, and many of us cherish the ability to bring our full selves, including our beliefs and values, into the worlds we create. If your vision for your land includes religious structures or political elements, that's entirely within your rights and the spirit of what makes Opensim special.

However, the broader point being made is about maintaining the overall harmony of shared spaces within the community, especially in public forums like OSW (OpensimWorld). When we talk about leaving real-life debates in real life, it's not about limiting creativity or expression within your own grid. It's about recognizing that public spaces, where diverse groups of people come together, can quickly become contentious when dominated by divisive real-life issues.

We come here to escape RL we have hate all around us, why is it so important to divide us here?

OpenSim forums are primarily designed for users to engage in building, sharing creations, and learning from each other. The focus is on virtual world activities, technical support, and creative collaboration. Introducing topics like religion and politics can distract from the core purpose and shift the focus away from the community's shared goals. Real People behind Real Avatars yes, OpenSim is a diverse community with members from various backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. Discussions about religion and politics can be highly polarizing and may inadvertently alienate or offend some members. Keeping these topics separate helps maintain a respectful and inclusive environment.

While I admire your passion for USA politics -Opensimworld is not a political platform. You assume I am Pro Donald Trump because I am asking for the posts to be Opensim related?

Both Dorena and myself are of the opinion that reasoned argument is perfectly acceptable, as is constructive criticism. The bulk of the political content that Dorena and myself have posted recently is to try and draw attention to the fact that the people of the USA are about to have an election that will have a massive impact on the world, and neither of us wants to see Donald Trump elected as president. No one in their right minds want's to see such a tyrannical demagogue elected, and those who make excuses for him need to perhaps take a step back and engage their critical thinking skills with a sense of urgency. Seriously, does anyone want to see elected a convicted rapist, someone who is on record making misogynistic comments, someone who expressed a desire to have sex with his own daughter? And those are just for starters. Read Miles Taylor's Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy and you'll see what the threats are of a Trump win in November.

Those of us who live outside of the USA don't have a vote, and obviously can't take part in making the decision, but we do have the right, nay the duty to at least try and influence people as it's not just the people of the USA who are affected in all sorts of different ways.

If discussing political topics is important to you, there are many dedicated platforms and forums where such discussions are welcome and encouraged. Engaging in political discourse in spaces designed for that purpose can be more productive and fulfilling, allowing for deeper conversations with those who share similar interests. We shouldn't have to block you or not read you. In a shared space, mutual respect and consideration for others' comfort and enjoyment are key to maintaining harmony. When one person's posts consistently create conflict or discomfort, it can disrupt the sense of community and make it less enjoyable for everyone, including yourself.

Dorena's post are always relevant, but if you don't like the subject of her posts, the wise thing to do is close and ignore them. Hasn't it occurred to you that sometimes some subjects need to take precedence. The fate of the world is far more important than the utterly irrelevant activities in Opensim. Also, the election may well be over soon, but the fight against fascism and other forms of totalitarianism and demagogary will go on. If nothing else, Dorena's posts alert us to those who would seek to minimise or even glorify the actions of Trump. Between us, we've been successful in silencing one particularly nasty individual on this site, not because of his objectionable and unsavoury opinions, but because of the level of abuse he heaped on us for merely having the audacity to express an opinion and to challenge his pea brained comments. That I consider a huge success.

By comparison, Pagane and Arielle are mere irritants, Arielle not being able to string a logical argument together, and Pagane apparently posting increasingly deranged gobbledegook bordering on the unhinged.

Who can say what Dorena's purpose is in making the posts she does, one thing is clear, those who are cheer leaders for Trump and his ilk are gradually exposing themselves.

Taking from the "Closed Garden" ...Not only is this unethical and illegal, but it also undermines the efforts of content creators who put in significant time and effort to create original work. Additionally, there's no need for such behavior when there are numerous legitimate resources available for obtaining free and high-quality content. Here are some excellent alternatives:

1. Sketchfab
Sketchfab is a platform where artists can share their 3D models. It has a vast library of models that are free to use under various licenses, including Creative Commons. Users can find everything from simple objects to complex scenes.

2. ArtStation
ArtStation is a hub for artists to showcase their work, and it includes a marketplace where you can find both free and paid assets. Many artists on ArtStation offer high-quality models, textures, and other assets that are available for free or at a reasonable price.

3. BlenderKit
BlenderKit is a plugin for Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation suite. It provides access to a large library of free assets, including models, materials, and brushes. This can be an invaluable resource for anyone looking to create or enhance their 3D projects without the need for unauthorized copying.

4. TurboSquid

Yes! From a bug's perspective. It's like stepping into a whole new world! Did you see the ants on the counter? Or the beetle in the cereal box? Thank you for stopping by!

TY Marianna, though it wasn't my first project, but one of several early builds in Open Sim as I was learning to build. This one was a lot of fun to build even though I did it badly, so it needed a remodel. :D

High latency or loss of data packets between the client and server can result in items not being displayed correctly or disappearing.

I cant imagine considering its the same items, but they just poof from the region. i think its something in the region causing it or just opensim being opensim or whatever or dg lol. so far all is good in the region.

I think it is more likely the owner having way to many assets. Keep in mind it all has to rez not just fetch up. Also badly created meshes may never rez.

so far everything seems to rez okay, but yea its built by others on a test region owned by one of my members and she has a lot of assests in her invent so could be.

I have a ton of assets, and on the land I try to keep it within reason. I know that when I visit other grids if they have lots of mesh buildings they rez super slow but it all depends too on how the mesh is created. Scripts are another thing to look at on land to make sure you don't have bad scripts about.
