Hey lovely people! Just wanted to give a heads up that is getting veeery busy at work at the moment, in case you see me a bit less active around! Layoff season so...having to do double!
Also last sets I am bringing are much more complex on hudding, blending, masking, which take more time...
Huuugs!

LETS SPREAD POSITIVITY NOT HATE!

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, hate and bashing towards other people. I try to ignore most of it but lately it has become to much. Why do people feel the need to use hateful words or put someone down.

No matter what religion we are, gender, political views or whatever it is, cant we just agree to disagree.

I have seen a lot of people in my time in Opensim do amazing things, anyone that can DJ, build, script and anything else, is awesome to me. For the ones that constantly tell everyone they are awesome its because they are. They do a lot of things i do not know how to do or cant.

So in conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all creators, builders, scripters, and etc, because without all of you, my regions wouldn't look as good as they do. I may take things and place them and put them together but the credits go to the creators, builders and scripters.

Instead of name calling and tearing people down, lets be a little kinder, lets ignore the negative and worry more about spreading positivity.

Comment's welcome but please be kind :)

Mein geliebtes Weib, meine Siwas
Ich will versuchen dir nur zu versprechen was ich auch halten kann.
Ich kann dir die Welt nicht zu Füssen legen, sie gehört mir nicht.
Ich werde dir keine Sterne mehr vom Himmel holen denn das habe ich schon und du hast deinen Stern.
Ich habe damals gesagt dieser Stern soll dich beschützen und über unsere Liebe wachen. Das hat er getan und uns nach unserer Trennung wieder zusammengeführt.
Vielleicht merkt man erst bei einer Trennung was man wirklich verloren hat.
Wir sind wieder zusammen und nun will ich dich endgültig als meine Frau und werde alles tun dass wir zusammen glücklich sind und unsere Liebe für immer bleibt.
Siwas, du warst immer, du bist und du bleibst für immer mein Baby,

💬 Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of messages filled with anger, judgment, and sometimes even hate. And honestly, I find that quite sad.
🤔 Before writing these kinds of messages, maybe we should all take a moment to reflect. Try to understand the why behind things instead of reacting immediately. Behind every person, every project, every decision, there is a story, a context, and reasons we might not fully know.
🌎 We already live in a world where conflicts and wars exist because people no longer take the time to listen to each other. Everyone talks, but very few truly try to understand.
✨ So maybe, at our own small scale, we could try to do better.
🗣️ Instead of posting messages filled with hate or jealousy, why not simply talk to the people involved? Ask questions. Listen to the answers. Try to understand.
🤝 Dialogue has always been more constructive than attacks.
❤️ None of us are perfect, and we all make mistakes. But if we took a little more time to speak to each other with respect, many tensions could simply disappear.
✨ A little more discussion.
🔥 A little less hate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


💬 Ces derniers temps, je vois beaucoup de messages remplis de colère, de jugements et parfois même de haine. Et honnêtement, je trouve ça triste.
🤔 Avant d’écrire ce genre de messages, peut-être devrions-nous tous prendre un instant pour réfléchir. Essayer de comprendre le pourquoi du comment, plutôt que de réagir à chaud. Derrière chaque personne, chaque projet, chaque décision, il y a une histoire, un contexte et des raisons que l’on ne connaît pas forcément.
🌍 Nous vivons déjà dans un monde où les conflits et les guerres existent parce que les gens ne prennent plus le temps de s’écouter. Parce que chacun parle, mais trop peu cherchent réellement à comprendre l’autre.
✨ Alors peut-être que, chacun à notre petite échelle, nous pourrions essayer de faire mieux.
🗣️ Au lieu de publier des messages de haine ou de jalousie, pourquoi ne pas simplement discuter avec les personnes concernées ? Poser des questions. Écouter les réponses. Chercher à comprendre.
🤝 Le dialogue a toujours été plus constructif que l’attaque.
❤️ Personne n’est parfait, et nous faisons tous des erreurs. Mais si nous prenions un peu plus de temps pour nous parler avec respect, beaucoup de tensions pourraient simplement disparaître.
✨ Un peu plus de discussion.
🔥 Un peu moins de haine.

Announcement regarding the passing of DJ Azraella.

To the community, friends, and fellow artists,

It is with profound sadness that I am writing to inform you that DJ Azraella passed away peacefully surrounded by family just weeks after her final event and her public post regarding the lack of process on Neverworld grid. I am her surviving spouse. Alithea (her real name) spent her final months bringing her passion, music, and talent to this platform as a DJ and music producer. Music was a large parts of her life, and she deeply valued the genuine connections she made with her listeners, fans, and fellow performers.
Regarding the recent events: Alithea spoke the absolute truth about the abuse she experienced and the systemic failure that followed. We are deeply grateful to the community members, onlookers, and witnesses who saw through the edited timelines, called out the manipulation, and stood up to defend her integrity when she was at her most vulnerable. Your solidarity meant the world to her, and it means the world to me. The institutional response here was entirely compromised, but the court of public opinion has already spoken. No amount of righteous indignation, fabricated evidence, or protective bias from Neverworld grid management can rewrite history or erase the reality of how she was treated in her final weeks. This will be my only communication on this matter. I am completely disconnecting from this Platform to focus on my grief and to honour my wife’s memory in the real world, where her true legacy, her music, and her staunch integrity remain entirely unblemished. Thank you to everyone who brought her joy, danced to her music, and stood by her side. Sincerely, Road Kill.

Reposted on behalf of DJ Azraella.
Why Never Neverworld.

There is something particularly bleak about a community calling itself “The Friendly Grid” while apparently treating abusive behaviour as a problem best solved by telling the person on the receiving end: “You have a mute button.” Welcome to Neverworld Grid, where, judging by my experience, “friendly” may be less a standard of conduct than a decorative slogan attached to the front door.

I was a DJ in a virtual worlds for years lately as a visiting performer at Neverworld. By the point this incident occurred, however, my personal circumstances had changed. I am dying. That is not written for melodrama or sympathy. It matters because it explains what it cost me physically to be there at all. Despite being seriously ill and largely confined to bed, I got out of bed and DJed one final event to say thank you to my audience for supporting me and to draw people in one last time, which also helped to promote Neverworld Grid.

The reward was memorable, although perhaps not in quite the way their promotional department might prefer. During the event, I was verbally attacked and abused by a member of Neverworld Grid.

Behind every avatar is a human being. The fact that an interaction takes place in a virtual world does not make the behaviour, or its effect on another person, imaginary. The following day, despite the physical toll, I got out of bed again and raised a formal complaint with the owner of Neverworld Grid. I expected, at minimum, the complaint to be taken seriously. What I encountered instead was dismissal. No action was taken against the resident. My complaint was pretty much ignored and seen as nothing other than an interpersonal issue despite the fact I was a victim of one of their residents.

And then came this: “You have a mute button.”

And there, in five small words, lies the much larger problem. Of course I have a mute button. A mute button is a useful tool for an individual. It is not a substitute for moderation. Those are two entirely different things. A mute button allows the recipient to stop hearing somebody's behaviour. Moderation determines whether that behaviour is acceptable within the community in the first place. Confusing the two produces a wonderfully convenient system for administrators: the offender remains, the complainant makes them disappear from view, and management is spared the disagreeable business of actually managing anything. Problem solved. Well, invisible, which is apparently close enough. Imagine applying this philosophy anywhere else. Someone behaves disgracefully in a cinema and the management responds: 'you can use ear-plugs.' One can only admire the efficiency. No difficult confrontation. No standards requiring enforcement. No possibility of upsetting a patron who may have a life-time ticket. Just mute and carry on.

Neverworld Grid presents itself with the tagline: “The friendly grid.” That is precisely why this incident matters. If you advertise friendliness as part of your identity, then friendliness ceases to be merely a pleasant aspiration. It becomes a claim about the community you operate. And claims should survive contact with reality. A genuinely friendly community is not one in which nobody ever behaves badly. Such a place does not exist outside advertising copy and unusually optimistic children's television. A friendly community is one in which antisocial behaviour is taken seriously when it occurs. It is demonstrated by what administrators do when unfriendliness becomes inconvenient. That is the test. Not the logo. Not the website. Not the slogan. Not smiling avatars standing beneath carefully selected promotional photographs. The test comes when somebody crosses the line and management has to decide whether its proclaimed standards actually mean anything.

In my case, I believe Neverworld Grid failed that test spectacularly. I cannot state why the owner chose not to take action. Only the owner can answer that. But users are entitled to ask uncomfortable questions when enforcement appears absent.

What behaviour actually results in consequences?
Does a resident's financial contribution affect how complaints concerning them are handled?
Are paying residents subject to precisely the same behavioural standards as visitors are?
What happens after a formal complaint?
And perhaps most importantly: What behaviour would actually be serious enough for Neverworld Grid management to intervene rather than telling the recipient, “You have a mute button”? These are questions created by the apparent absence of action. If Neverworld Grid wants people to believe that payment of tier guarantees renters a friendly safe place, there is a very simple way of showing it: Have standards and apply them.

There is another unpleasant implication to the “you have a mute button” response. It transfers responsibility. The person accused of behaving abusively does not apparently need to change their behaviour. Instead, the person experiencing it must change theirs. You must mute. You must avoid. You must adapt. Management remains comfortably above the unpleasantness while the individual affected quietly rearranges their virtual existence around somebody else's deplorable conduct. That isn't moderation. It is outsourcing moderation to the victim. And it creates an obvious incentive for the worst personalities in any community: behave however you please as long as you keep paying. Eventually you can achieve the remarkable distinction of being peacefully surrounded by people who either tolerate you or cannot see or hear you. Community harmony, achieved through selective deafness as decreed by management.

There is another aspect of this which a mute button cannot undo: the physical effect of the encounter has already happened. Verbal abuse is not experienced solely as words arriving through speakers or appearing on a screen. Human beings respond physically to confrontation and distress. The body does not first consult the graphics card to determine whether an attack is sufficiently real to react to it. For a healthy person, that reaction can be deeply unpleasant. For somebody who is dying, already seriously ill and functioning with greatly diminished reserves, the consequences of that stress can carry considerably greater weight and could even be the last stress that body can take. And once that distress has occurred, telling the person “you have a mute button” is not a remedy.

The button cannot take you backwards in time. It cannot prevent the encounter that already happened. It cannot erase the stress already inflicted. And it certainly cannot answer the question of why the behaviour that caused the complaint apparently attracted no consequence. There is a peculiar cruelty in dismissing that distinction which no amount of virtual-world branding can disguise.

I did not expect sainthood. I did not expect somebody to erect a statue of my avatar outside the welcome centre. I expected basic human decency and a complaint to be treated seriously.

Apparently that must be the 'Super Ultimate Friend of the Owner' premium feature. Neverworld Grid calls itself friendly. People considering investing their time, creativity, communities and money there should understand what “friendly” meant when my complaint was placed in front of its owner. Because communities reveal themselves not through their slogans but through the behaviour they are prepared to tolerate. Anybody can write: “We are the friendly grid.” The interesting question is what happens when somebody isn't friendly. In my experience, the answer was depressingly simple: Nothing. The complaint was effectively binned. Apparently making bad actors into clouds is your only option meanwhile Management avoided doing anything meaningful other than preserve a monthly tier payment. And the slogan will survive. Perhaps that is the most impressive achievement of all. In virtual worlds, apparently even irony can be rendered in 3D.

Neverworld Grid also seems very keen on telling people that it isn't Second Life.

Second Life gets plenty of criticism, some of it deserved. One complaint you hear is that region owners can make their own rules and, if you don't follow them, eject or ban you. That can certainly be irritating. People can make ridiculous rules. People can throw you out for reasons you think are unfair. Give somebody control over a virtual patch of land and occasionally they begin behaving as though Buckingham Palace has asked for the keys back. But there is another side to it. If you enter somebody's region, you know they have rules and that breaking them can have consequences. If you behave badly enough, somebody can actually do something about it. After my experience with Neverworld Grid, I find myself wondering why removing that is supposed to be an improvement. If the alternative to somebody saying “These are the rules here” is somebody behaving abusively and the person being abused getting told “You have a mute button,” which system is actually friendlier?

There has to be some middle ground between petty little dictators throwing people off regions because they don't like the colour of their shoes and a free-for-all where nobody wants to intervene.
Rules can be abused. So can the absence of rules. The difference is that when there are sensible community standards, ordinary people know where they stand. Don't abuse people. Don't deliberately disrupt things. Don't make somebody else's experience miserable. Hardly tyranny. And if somebody does cross those lines, there should be consequences. Neverworld seems to dislike the way people in Second Life exercise control over their own regions. Fine. But what is being offered instead? If the answer is greater freedom, then whose freedom are we talking about? The freedom of somebody to enjoy an event without being abused? Or the freedom of somebody to behave however they like without anybody in authority becoming involved? Because those freedoms collide eventually. Mine did. And apparently I had a mute button.

Then there is the question of tier. People pay to be on grids like this. That makes it reasonable to ask whether somebody who keeps paying can expect considerably more tolerance than somebody who just visits but still contributes to the success of the grid. I cannot prove that this is what happened in my case. But the response I received certainly gives me reason to ask. If somebody pays tier and behaves disgracefully, what happens? Are they warned? Are there consequences? Or does everybody they upset simply get reminded where the mute button is? Because if the practical message becomes: Pay your tier and management will look the other way, then who exactly does that attract? Most decent people don't need immunity from basic standards of behaviour. Creators don't need it. DJs don't need it. People running events don't need it. People who simply want somewhere pleasant to spend a few hours don't need it. The people who benefit most from a place where bad behaviour carries few consequences are, rather obviously, the people most likely to behave badly. That seems an extraordinary foundation for something calling itself “The Friendly Grid.”

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be different from Second Life. But different does not automatically mean better. If Second Life says, in effect, “behave yourself here or somebody may throw you out,” while Neverworld's answer to abuse is “you have a mute button,” I know which approach now looks more like a community and which looks more like an incompetent Management avoidance strategy. Being different is easy. Being better requires rather more than a tagline. If Neverworld Grid believes this account misrepresents its standards, it can explain them.

What happens when someone reports serious verbal abuse? What behaviour actually results in action?
Are paying residents treated exactly the same as everyone else? And why was “You have a mute button” considered an adequate response to my complaint?

Those answers would tell people considerably more about Neverworld Grid than any slogan ever could.
Until then, perhaps the tagline deserves a small amendment:

“Neverworld Grid — The Friendly Grid. You have a mute button.”
or
" Welcome to Neverworld the Friendly Grid where you may have to mute your fellow residents"
or perhaps as almost happened in my case:
" Neverworld the Friendly Grid (we let you away with murder just keep paying you'll see)"

The bottom line has to be this:

If you claim friendliness you automatically accept a duty of care to all users. and paying doesn't excuse unfriendliness. Community standards you claim must be enforced swiftly and across all tiers of membership and extend to visitors. I was told my abuser hadn't broken any TOS. I guess there is no actual TOS beyond the owner's mood. Yes you guessed it my abuser is a friend of the owner.

My final advice to anyone looking for a new home...lift the carpets before you decide.

I won't see a resolution to this issue or see Virtual again but that doesn't mean you can't learn from my experience.

Azraella.

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

Merry christmas to you and your loved ones!
We wishing you all peace, joy, and all the best this wonderful holiday has to offer.
May your christmas be filled with love, laughter, and goodwill.
We sending you warm greetings for a season full of blessings.

Hello, I try to participate by mixing the useful with the pleasant, I wanted to make a gallery of people on Opensim, and I opted for a gallery on Flickr, more easily consultable. For this I need the help of all those who want to participate, without your help, the project will fail because it is about the people of Opensim. I take the photos, I try to capture something special in each of you, if you like it, and to bring out the image of a community in black and white, you have to come into the world to see the colors. Here is the beginning of the gallery. Thank you for your attention, friendly. Send me a message here or in world to help me and dont be shy :)

This is now starting my 15th year of trying to improve Opensim with the DreamWorld and DreamGrid systems. I haven't done an OSCC talk for several years so I thought I'd give a quick review of some Opensim stats that I track. This data is based on anonymous data from the DNS servers ns1.outworldz.com and ns2.outworldz.com and the publicity checkbox, which generates XML for the https://outworldz.com/search function. I am also able to count some stats from known 'other' grids via a web crawler that runs hourly scans.

There are now 259 free OARs, and that includes 63 exclusive regions for DreamGrid owners. I licensed these from the creators, and collections are copyrightable. The most popular Public OARS are at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=OAR- and sorted by popularity are IARS at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=IAR- I have many more to upload still.

I do not have access to any of your assets, backups, OARS, IARS, or any personal data. My servers periodically crawl the web looking for Opensim servers from publicly available sources such as my visitor lists, the data I publish and from Hypergrid Business.

DreamGrid goes back to 2011, when it was called DreamWorld. I didn't always track much back then and periodically flushed the database. Since 2018 (6 years) , there have been 5,180 distinct DreamGrid instances. People created 12,280 different grids with it. and 3,378 were online in 2024. In that same time period of six years, I've located 2,935 standard grids. In 2024 alone, there were 2,762 unique DreamGrids online.

Sl has 18,326 private estates, which are equivalent to the 12,334 regions in Dreamgrid. However, we have much larger regions, the equivalent of 73,341 SL regions. An SL region costs $349 to set up, and $209 a month to rent (not own). The first year, one region costs $2,857, the second year $2508.

When you compare DreamGrid with the SL private estates, we've collectively saved $209,535,237 in the first year, and $183,939,228 per year after that.

**1 Year Anniversary of Starchild Shoppe: NEW LOCATION!**
1 year ago Starchild Shoppe opened its doors with a single furniture store. Since then it has expanded beyond what I could have imagined! I want to thank every single person who has crossed its door and has taken the time to thank the effort behind!
I have also heard your feedback, it is why I have consolidated all the stores into their own region with a central store (beauty) at ground, and then skyboxes reachable via the TP board. Super special thanks to Shan Naggins for making it happen! What was going to be just one new store, ended up being an entire mall set up with much more room for growth!

The Forgotten Art of Being Human

We live in a world where it has become easy to judge and difficult to understand.

A world where people are often measured by a single mistake, a rumor, an accusation, a disagreement, or even by the opinions of others. We have become quick to label, quick to condemn, and sometimes painfully slow to listen.

Yet every person carries a story that no outsider can fully see.

Behind every avatar, profile, username, face, or voice is a human being with experiences, wounds, dreams, fears, hopes, victories, and failures. None of us arrived at this moment through the same road. We were raised in different cultures, different countries, different families, and different belief systems. We learned different lessons and carry different truths.

Why then do we so often expect everyone to think the same?

Why do we become angry when someone sees the world differently?

Diversity is not only about appearance, nationality, or language. True diversity is also the ability to accept that another person may hold a different view of life without becoming our enemy.

The greatest strength of humanity has never been conformity.

It has always been our ability to coexist despite our differences.

What troubles me most is how easily people forget the value of loyalty.

Loyalty is a rare treasure.

A loyal person does not always agree with you. A loyal person is not perfect. A loyal person may make mistakes. But loyalty means standing by principles, standing by friends, standing by truth as best as one understands it, and standing by commitments even when circumstances become difficult.

Yet today, loyalty is often questioned before it is understood.

Trust is replaced by suspicion.

Conversation is replaced by assumption.

Character is replaced by gossip.

How many good people have been hurt because others decided to believe a story before they knew the person?

How many friendships have been lost because people listened to rumors instead of speaking directly to one another?

How many communities have damaged themselves by creating division where understanding could have existed?

We often speak about building better worlds, better communities, and better societies.

Yet no better world can be built on constant suspicion.

No community becomes stronger by humiliating its own members.

No person becomes wiser by hurting another.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves a simple question:

What kind of human being do I want to be?

Not what others are doing.

Not what others deserve.

Not what others believe.

But what kind of person do I choose to become?

Do I choose kindness when it is difficult?

Do I choose patience when I am frustrated?

Do I choose honesty when lies are easier?

Do I choose understanding when judgment is tempting?

Life itself is already challenging enough.

Every one of us is fighting battles that others cannot see.

Every one of us carries burdens invisible to the outside world.

Every one of us is limited by time.

One day our lives will end.

When that day comes, very few people will remember who won an argument.

Very few people will remember who complained the loudest.

Very few people will remember who was right on every issue.

But people will remember how we treated them.

They will remember who offered a helping hand.

Who listened.

Who forgave.

Who showed courage.

Who showed kindness.

Who remained loyal.

In the end, our character is the only thing that truly belongs to us.

So let us be careful with each other.

Let us remember that behind every screen is a living human soul.

Let us stop assuming the worst and start searching for understanding.

Let us leave room for mistakes, growth, and redemption.

And above all, let us never forget that being human is far more important than being right.

Because the world does not need more outrage.

It needs more humanity.

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆✨
Wishing you a year filled with happiness, growth, and unforgettable moments. 🌟 May this new chapter bring you closer to your dreams, and may you embrace every challenge with confidence and positivity. 💪🌈
Cheers to new beginnings and endless possibilities! 🥂🎊 Arkham Grid

🌹 Memorial Note for Luna Lunaria

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Luna Lunaria, a beloved friend, visionary creator, and cherished member of our community.

Just two days ago, Luna left us suddenly due to a massive heart attack, leaving all who knew them in shock and sorrow.

Luna was the heart behind Lunaria’s Emporium and Luxor, stores that became cornerstones in OpenSim. Through these creations, countless people found joy, inspiration, and connection. Luna’s work was more than commerce—it was artistry. From buildings to intricate items, every creation carried a spark of imagination and care that made them unforgettable.

What set Luna apart was not only extraordinary talent but also a profound dedication to others. Customers were never just buyers; they were valued friends. Luna always ensured that each person felt cared for, listened to, and delighted with what they received. This compassion, paired with creative brilliance, made Luna a living legacy in every sense.

Luna’s presence will be deeply missed, but the legacy lives on in the worlds built, the communities touched, and the memories shared. To all who adored Luna and their creations, may we carry forward that same spirit of creativity, kindness, and connection.

Still under construction, I try to put film or literary references here and there. For example, here, on the walls of the hut that serves as a food bank, advertisements for Soylent Green, bon appetit!

🌞 Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Erlebe die Magie des Weihnachtsmarkts ?✨

Willkommen in einer Welt voller Besinnlichkeit, Freude und Liebe!
Tauche ein in den Zauber der Weihnachtszeit: Der Duft von Zimt und gebrannten Mandeln liegt in der Luft, sanfte Lichter glitzern wie Sterne, und liebevoll dekorierte Stände laden zum Verweilen ein.

We all love to fly, don't we?
So I decided to make a ridable version of my dragon, as rezzer, so all your visitors can get their own.
Its temp, no worry of littering your place.
Get yours in my shop!
