Symptoms:
1. Keeps posting the same crap
2. Insists on unpopular or false statements just to trigger you.
3. Craves negative attention, while pretending to be a victim.
Cure:
Starvation. Resist the urge to feed it!

Today there was a post about the closing of a really nice grid, and I want to put an icon showing I am sorry it's going.
The only non-happy comment icon is the prayer symbol - not appropriate. I don't want to encourage negativity on OSW but... can we have a face with a tear? Also a "wow" face would be a great icon to add.

Cornflakes Week! It is the final week of February.
It's a uniquely Opensim festival, not linked to any season, religious, or national festival.
It's about silliness, fun and bright colors.
It's a way to show solidarity and unite opensim.
Any grid or region can hold their own version of a Cornflakes party! If you plan to mod your usual weekly dance event to make it cornflake-y I would love to know, and include it in the video this year.

inworld Review is a weekly talk show by Mal Burns about opensim people and places, taped inworld every Sunday at 12 noon SLT. You can watch Live on youtube, comment and ask questions, or join us in the audience, or perhaps you'd like to be a guest on the show, send and IM to Thirza here in osw to learn more.

Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.

Summer fun across opensim, with 4 more posts for you, if you missed it. Here we go - a long weekend of Alternate events, an Ai art exhibition, an Iberian village, and an opinion piece by 3 participants in the upcoming OSFest.

HG Safari trips return for the Fall Season in 6 weeks from now !
Our schedule is pretty much full, but if you'd like your region to be put on the standby list, or want to save a spot in the next season's schedule (starting Jan 2024), just drop me a word here in osw. Don't be shy !

Mobius has been banning osgrid avies for the past six months or so due to a security issue, but good news, the problem seems to have gone away! Here's a post about the grid guys and some photos you may remember...
