Safine! :) Well said! I agree 100%.. just the day before yesterday I had a child avatar from zetaworlds, come to my region on OSGrid.. there was no event, they just showed up, they messaged me without asking and complimented my "sexy avatar" .. I just got the UUID and banned immediately! I do not allow child avatars on my grid or my regions.. and each region is set as adult. I will ban any avatar that looks like a child period. I will never allow them!

I don't think that many "creators" here would make a great deal of money in SL.. SL is very competitive with lots of advancements and great quality, low prim, items. Im not saying all creators are lacking advancement.. but there are a few who are stuck in 2006.

Then they would use opensim and its resources to learn, I mean, if they really want to profit from their creations.
The thing is that here, in opensim we don't want a S-SL.

its a HUGE hypocrisy! I see it everywhere! lol.. and Lets face it & be honest.. there are many creators who have not advanced in their craft.. you can get lots of perfectly made quality items for free. Why would I pay $500Digi's for a dress that has flexi and looks like it came from 2006/2007 .. no thanks.. its 2024.. I'll take the free (probably pirated) better made/up-to-date- quality dress every time! I'm also grateful for the free items here in opensim.. I've spent literally thousands of dollars in SL over the past 17 years and continue to buy in SL.. the advancements in creativity there and the quality of the items there are far superior! Just my opinion.. don't hate on me!

If payware looks like from pre-mesh times, it usually is from pre-mesh times. Put into commercial stores in the early days of Kitely or DigiWorldz when that stuff was still fairly state-of-the-art, and the only competition was the first wave of Linda Kellie creations from 2007/2008.
In most cases, these creators haven't logged into OpenSim in a decade, probably not even into SL, so that they don't even know that their stuff is hopelessly outdated now. They may even have forgotten that they've still got a shop or a whole sim in OpenSim with items for sale, especially if they don't have to pay rent. Bonus points if even the shopping sim owner hasn't logged in in years, so nobody has ever taken into consideration clearing that shop.
If some of them are still active, they should really do a reality check. First, premium mesh clothes in SL are cheaper in real-life money than their layer-and-prim creations. Second, these premium mesh clothes are available in OpenSim for free.
Lastly, yes, there are still a few OpenSim users who refuse to use any mesh. But they've still got a lot of pre-mesh stuff to choose from. Yes, that stuff isn't easy to find, especially if it wasn't made by Linda Kellie. But all this pre-mesh payware isn't actually any easier to find.
Now, layer clothes do have their use since the arrival of BoM, particularly for anything skin-tight. Underwear, lingerie, hosiery, swimwear, latex... Legal BoM bodies like Ruth2 v4 or the BoM version of RuthToo RC#3 depend on them, and besides, they don't clip through anything you wear over them.
But still, you can get more of this for free than you'll probably ever need. Legally even. No need to spend money on it.
Lastly, I guess that many in-world payware vendors don't work anymore anyway because nobody has been around to reset their scripts since at least 2013.
