When I think of Rudi and Nasti the first memories I have of them have always been incredibly supportive and encouraging from the moment I met them. With the news of Rudi's passing, I felt an immediate loss to our community, I cannot imagine how difficult this is for Nasti. It is with sincere condolences to Nasti and the family, I created a pendant in his memory. For those that were touched by Rudi and his kind spirit, this is for you to remember that spirit.

I miss you Rudi, much love to Nasti

Someone is hard at work on CK Alt Island!

And all the hard work is paying off! We had 8 people here all at once on day two. That's like what? 5% of all the AVs in OS?

It's all because of the the aura of Adachi. Drawing people here like bears to honey. Like moths to a flame. Like serial killers to college sororities. (OK, maybe not the last one. That's from some movie or something).

Although we don't have Adachi here, we have many of the great people from the CK grid, with more showing up every day. Pop in and pay us a visit.

hg.osgrid.org:80:CK Alt Island


About the Region
We have built a temporary home for CopyKat exiles. While the CopyKat Grid is down, your AV there can't sign in. You will need to sign into OS using an alt account on another grid. (That's why we call this "CK Alt Island.")

If you are a member of the CopyKat Realm group, find a member of the Friends of CK group and ask for an invite. You can then set CK Alt Island as your home location if you like. We also have shop space for you. (oh HELLO is reopening soon).

CK Alt Island is open to the public. The dance venue and more have been built, and more to come. Old friends, new friends and alts of every variety are welcome. Come visit!

Hi All,

I've decided to leave both OpenSim and Second Life. It's not for some sulky reason, someone offended me or anything like that. I've just decided my life is going in a different direction.

Big hugs to all those who I have come to know over the months or years and hope you all have great virtual lives in OS :)

My Ruth2 and Roth2 avatars. Luna on the left is wearing Ruth2 RC3 (I don't use RC4 because I don't like the alpha hud for that version). The dress is from the Kitely Market and made by Pacifica. Hair, skin, and shape are mine (no I don't sell these or give them away and haven't made any others since - not my thing). Apelles on the right is wearing the latest version of Roth2. Clothes and hair are from the Kitely Market. The glasses and shoes I made. Each one's complexity is about 55000 to 60000. Just so you know you can get a nice unique look with Ruth2 and Roth2

Rebelworld is currently dead. My Workstation is no longer currently able to run my server. I simply do not have the funds to fix it. This means no shared worlds, and no Johnny Rebel avatar either for awhile. I am so very sorry everyone. I just wanted to be able to share free, older content that is fast dissapearing, and Johnny Rebel's home, as well as many large worlds that old friends have there. It is simply financially beyond my control at present. Prayers, love, hugs, and high 5's everyone. :/

I am feeling real bad right now. So sorry if I miss a reply, or a friend here, or in my worlds. The red baron shot me down for now... haha! Prayers, love, hugs n high 5's everyone.




(Afterthought) On an upnote? My server is managing to survive on my partially fried workstation. :)

The Rumor-Mill.. says ..Great Canadian Grid is closing it's doors.. May31st, once again, i will have to find a new "she-cave"... maybe i'll make my next AV a gypsy,... kinda fitting my VR life....hahahaha.
UPDATE: CrystalWilde is hosted on Virtual-zone Grid, big thanx to Kashi Takeshi !!

I have become aware that there are various grids saying they have or will stop the use of the SatyrFarm system due to issues with the animal scripts in the Quintonia edition. As soon as I was made aware of this issue I released an update (version 5.8 of the animal script) and you can pick up the rezzer/updater for this in Box 1 from the Mintor store. I would strongly recommend people to update their animals to this version as soon as you can so as not to get on the wrong side of your grid owners etc. Thanking you for your help in this.

Question:
Is the AVITRON GRID the Reality World created by Alexsandro Pomposelli aka Alex Ferraris aka AviTron Metaverse aka... a dead end street?
A friend with an Avatar in the AVITRON GRID asks me and send me this screenshots.

A carful of too lazy to work thieves tried to sneak into my home late Christmas night. They found out real quick amputee does not always=helpless. An old grey maned wolf with a missing leg still has fangs... heh. Rebelworld is running, but PC still has issues from the most recent breakin during my last hospitalization. Apologies if you experience any lag, or brain hiccups. Happy New Year ya'll, :) hugs n high 5's

I believe, in my opinion, that "war" is founded on envy of the success of a AVITRON... who took advantage of the greed of a grid (Sacrarium) to attract users to their grid, and on the selfishness of some copiers who claim as their own the creations of SecondLife creators, who are not involved in this fight. If you learned to copy and upload your copies, you have 3 options ... 1) you share it with friends ... 2) you share it with the entire Opensim community ... or 3) You don't share it with anyone, only for your personal use . But copiers claim to receive recognition as "Gods" just for knowing how to use a copybot very well. Sacrarium is a good grid, but...IS PART of Opensim...so...Opensim is beyond than Sacrarium. You want Sacrarium copys ?...make a Avitron account...you dont want Sacrarium copys ?...stay quiet in your grid. Its easy. Just...respect the other users and make your own life.

Ausgrid is down at the moment cause I'm having issues with pc that crash with blue screen saying memory management. I guess it Windows that is corrupted so i might have to reinstall windows. It a pain in the ass. Grid and Regions are safe in other hard drive.
It was working fine and that before bad storms and i saw it coming so i quickly shut down grid & regions then shut down pc and that when next day it gone crazy with blue screen saying memory management, etc you know silly thing. I think i guess it can be corrupted Windows cause i run DVD Linux on it and ran for hours so it have no issues. People that have regions in Ausgrid are missing Ausgrid and so am I missing it.

Coming soon. Move regions on the map, and create new ones by dragging and dropping an OAR from disk or 260+ Frees OARs

New R. Lion Couple HUDs
This is a new system item for OpenSim, made for couple animations and designed to give more control over who can start the animation.
Blue HUDs:
Either partner can wear it and start the animations.
Red HUDs:
Only the selected gender can wear it and start the animations. For example, if the HUD says Men, only men should wear it.
Please read the manual before using it. This is not the sit-on-a-prim-old-style couple animation setup, so you will need to learn how the HUD works, how to start animations, and how to save your settings. You don't need rez permissions to use this, but you do need scripts permissions.
Also remember: OpenSim is not perfect. Avatar heights, shapes, hover settings, viewers, and animations can all behave differently. You may need to adjust hover up or down until the position looks right.
Available now at the store. Look for them in the Couple Animation section.

We're creating a historic French Acadian village at GroovyVerse, and I wanted to share some of the soundtrack we created.

It's a mix of old folk songs, a few modern pop songs, and a few original ones I wrote. Played in a Cape Breton celtic/folk style mostly.
I am just starting to learn french and chiac languages, so don't beat me up if my french is terrible. lol

🚨 Breaking news from Sciattisi!
She's landed, the icon, the diva, the dark queen: Jane.
A complete avatar with more curves than a mountain road and a soul as black as Monday morning coffee. 😈☕

You're not ready, but she is. And I assure you, she'll leave you speechless (and maybe even a little envious).

🖤 Warning: Jane's outfit is a complete exclusive to this Avatar.
Looking for it in stores? A waste of time.
It's like looking for Wi-Fi in the middle of the desert. 💅

Once more I apologize. A lot of people came to FLORA and couldn`t have the copy of the sculpts set box inside (among others). When it`s 1st happened, I thought.. ok. it was 3.am. tired... I might have forgotten put it . But then, I put an 2nd time. and people still saying it`s not there.. U know. Opensim can be really weird with assets. Originally the sculpts were on my AMV account , then I brought them to WT grid and worked on script when I was there. Tried to bring back to AMV (as FLORA is here), had assets issues.. had to bring piece by piece.. So to avoid further issues... I put a 3rd time If for some reason one s till cant have it, I rezzed the SCULPT SET box on the ground.. Once more sorry for the inconvenience. And people from opensim knows that these weirdnesses happens all the time...

The next selection for the Homelandz Public Library might be the most useful, for some. 489 pages helping anyone from beginner to advanced Blender user to understand the VAST many capabilities of this wonderful and FREE software called blender! May we all improve our Blender skills and help OpenSim to grow to be a more beautiful and amazing place!

Note: Seriously, if you can spare some dough to support the author, PLEASE DO. Especially if you can get the pdf as cheap as me via Amazon ($3usd). Yes, there is a TON of free info out there on Blender, but to get so much in easy to understand, step by step instructions...perhaps decide if it's within your budget to show the author some support! :D

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

Ignorance is Bliss ....part 2

Perhaps OSW should require an IQ of at least 10 before allowing individuals to post comments or reviews.

note - if you try to visit a place and get a "region not found" error, talk to the owner...or try clearing cache and re logging. Don't leave a 1 star review on a place you have never seen.

Zephner, I envy everyone you have never met.

Hello everyone, we have opened!!!
that's right Tierra de Volcanes has expanded, we have some new features in the different areas, everyone is very welcome, walk around and enjoy the music of the sim and its new areas, there is a whole sim 5x5 to navigate, so come to know "The Islands" put on your best bikini and enjoy.
Due to the enormous size of the land there is still a lot to do and finish a thousand details, I hope you have patience and understanding, despite all this we wanted to open for you to have the store available.
A hug see you in Tierra de Volcanes
We lava U!!!! ♥

Question about opensim

Is it just me or is others not getting notifications when someone messages them? I dont always jump on osw everyday but lately when i have i look into my messages seeing messages from like 6 days to a month ago. Anyway to fix this, i have checked my settings and all boxes are not checked?

Also

I don't normally post anything politically divisive - and this is not posted to do that although in the current climate some people will choose to leap before looking.
Rather I'm posting this because I'm in awe of the person who made this.
Remember that the right to peaceful protest is something many people don't get the chance of doing.
Let's try and not lose any more chances for creativity in a good cause.
Sing along if you like :)

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

Jupiter Rowland was wondering in an earlier post why The Virtual Museum had not heard about Opensim. This chart from 2022 from Metaversed Consulting is a reminder of just where Opensimulator places in the metaverse, and is very likely why the Virtual Museum hasn't heard of us. We're one of the tiny dots under Older Users. By 2024, Opensimulator didn't even register on this chart at all. Personally, I love Opensim and plan to be here as long as it's running, whether or not we are recognized by the rest of the virtual world.

This chart comes from here: https://www.metaversed.consulting/blog/120-and-counting
