[11:06 AM] AMV-T: Jonny Carter[pt→en]: Please, quiet down everyone; let's give the floor to Dan.<br />

[11:10 AM] cilla teebrook: hmm<br />
[11:10 AM] Miela Ronas: so can u lynn<br />
[11:10 AM] Kane Mistwalker: this asset problem as been going on years everytime you make a oar the assets double when you load the oar and so next oar you make of the region will be 4 times actual size of assets<br />
[11:10 AM] Caro Fayray: SHHHHHHHH<br />
[11:10 AM] Lyynn Lavender: im not going anywhere<br />
[11:10 AM] dan banner: opensim functionality like iar and oar exist on the simulator and the open model that we currently use is the problem, since anyone can connect any code they create<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: it's bit us before in 2010 with inventory deleted<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: and there has been a few times since when the open model has had its weaknesses exploited<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: cant you make the grid like other grids like aviworlds<br />
[11:12 AM] dan banner: but this recent attack confirms the achilles heal of an open grid is no longer sustainable.<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: just dont let everyone make their sims here<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: there for then make it youhave to pay and tiers<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: so its not open<br />
[11:13 AM] ladyjo martin: have them buy from osgrid<br />
[11:13 AM] Sherree Parx: yes<br />
[11:13 AM] dan banner: in other words osgrid as we know it cannot continue. However I think albert has some information that some may appreciate regarding the furture of the grid<br />
[11:14 AM] dan banner: albert?<br />
[11:14 AM] hicks Adder: osgrid 2 the return<br />
[11:14 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Electric Boogaloo?<br />
[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: there has to be way not to kill us<br />
[11:14 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok thanks be right now<br />
[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: i love osgrid<br />
[11:14 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Yes! Lets hear it about Albert!<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: Greeting everyone, I am here today to assure you that Osgrid is not going away. We plan to return in 2027 and as soon as possible with a new and more secure grid.<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: and the fuure of thisLOVELY grid!<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay!!!<br />
[11:15 AM] Bobbi Fox: OOOH<br />
[11:15 AM] Thirza Ember: hahahahahahaha<br />
[11:15 AM] Ricky Fournier is Online<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: As some may know, a hacker made attacks on the grid using home simulator connections.<br />
[11:15 AM] Arcstrider Wind: will our accounts still exist then<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] hicks Adder: decmeber 31 2027<br />
[11:15 AM] Sven Ingersoll: and the crowd goes wild<br />
[11:15 AM] John Sheppard: Hurrah!<br />
[11:15 AM] Miela Ronas: there is no fucking future here they made up there minds already<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: We have found that those particular connection are very insecure, and someone or some group has taken advantage of that to flood our servers with trash. So going forward we can not allow any home user connections for security reasons. Only approved Hosters and Homesteaders will be allowed. Hypergrid will still be open.<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Albert take me I'm yours!<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay DO IT!<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: But there will be alternatives such as the services offer by Dreamworld. Here is their link for you that are interested. https://outworldz.com/.<br />
[11:16 AM] John Sheppard: I have been running Dreamgrid for a long time.<br />
[11:16 AM] Kane Mistwalker: one minute its closing due to lack of finance ,next its because of hackers ,now its not closing it be back in 2027<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: In the meantime we urge everyone to backup their inventories and oars before Dec. 30th, 2026. And for those that need help to backup their inventories if you send me an email to lroberts@osgrid.org if you do not have a very large inventory, I can help you back them up. I just need your full avatar name and you password. And I allow you download it from Mediafire.<br />
[11:17 AM] Ricky Fournier is Offline<br />
[11:17 AM] John Sheppard: if you have questions about dreamgrid, I can point you in the right direction.<br />
[11:17 AM] Cherry Manga: But why announce a dramatic end, when the clearing out of inventories was announced in such an understated way? Sure, Halloween is coming up, but there’s no need to scare the living daylights out of us like that!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: define homesteader<br />
[11:17 AM] albertlr Landar: So with the reset we well make things more secure and depend on Hosters to allow our users to have their own regions going forward. Homesteads will still be available for free on the designated Osgrid Plazas.<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: "and you password"<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: ...<br />
[11:17 AM] Thirza Ember: LOL Cherry<br />
[11:17 AM] Crazy Onasis: was stimmt hier überhaupt redet doch mal tacheles !!!!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: what's even wrong here, just talk about it!!!!!!<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: The planned S3 migration, the requirement for $1 region fees will need to continue and will be incorporated into the new version of Osgrid.<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: und nicht drum rum<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: and not around it<br />
[11:18 AM] Miela Ronas: agreed with my brother<br />
[11:18 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Please define a Home user ?<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: erst fehlt das geld dann hat man das 1 dollar modell dann den umzug ser assets und nun hacker wer soll nun was glauben ?<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: first there is no money then you have the 1 dollar model then the move of your assets and now hackers who is supposed to believe what?<br />
[11:18 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: :willOne query, Albert. There are 'subgrids' like SWONDO that have been part of OSGrid: Will they persist in your new alternative?<br />
[11:18 AM] Orion Gizmo: you can take an IAR without a password, btw. It's never checked by robust. just saying.<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: someone how hosts their own opensim regiong from their home computer.<br />
[11:19 AM] Accepted friendship offer from Gentle Heart. Would you be my friend?<br />

[11:19 AM] Spax Orion: Charge for uploads and meter on content size. =D<br />
[11:19 AM] Jillian Quintessa: so I have to pay someone now to host my regions from my own server?<br />
[11:19 AM] albertlr Landar: We have many of those, and also many of those do not support Osgrid with subscriptions or donations.<br />
[11:20 AM] Bobbi Fox: how do you become an approved host?<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: We do not require that, but we can not trustr those connection anymore.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this in english again First the money goes missing, then there’s the "1-dollar model," then the migration of assets, and now hackers—who is supposed to believe what at this point?<br />
[11:20 AM] Rocket Racoon: will our avatar's survive this change?<br />
[11:20 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i sapport osgrid and will contiune when the new sratrs<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: They can hurt those that do support us.<br />

[11:21 AM] albertlr Landar: You should know that OSgrid has been here to help eveyrone with a free and open set up<br />
[11:21 AM] Arcstrider Wind: a new grid means no more exploits and all the problems<br />
[11:22 AM] Arcstrider Wind: that come with hackers and their ilk<br />
[11:22 AM] Kane Mistwalker: IT SAYS NEVER PAY IN OPOENSIM<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: But we find that there are not too many out there that do not care about that anymore.<br />
[11:22 AM] Long Spiritor: So, as I understand it, this decision to shut down OSGRID operations on December 31, 2026, is irreversible—is that correct?<br />
[11:22 AM] Miela Ronas: there is absoultly nothing wrong with our inventorys<br />
[11:22 AM] Bobbi Fox: can you define an approved hoster please Albertiir?<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: so we have to make the changes that are needed to keep the gird secure and safe for that that suppot it.<br />
[11:22 AM] Spax Orion: If you do not want top pay in opensim the OSGRID embassy in SL accepts lindens.<br />
[11:23 AM] Matilda Charron: what will happen to our current avatars?<br />
[11:23 AM] Teri More: Please Make An FAQ please of all the changes.<br />
[11:23 AM] Caro Fayray: miela please stop the harrassment....it doesnt help ppl understand<br />
[11:23 AM] albertlr Landar: An approved hoster is one that has complete identified themselves to us. That has a reputation that they are reliable.<br />
[11:23 AM] Miela Ronas: no it is not harssament use your brain<br />
[11:23 AM] Kane Mistwalker: its been running 19 years surley it should have been safe<br />
[11:23 AM] Poppy Fields: good look with your grid. if its no open except to the money makers, we might as well return to SL<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: YES: Albert, please answer Long Spirotor... we dont mind waiti longer... but it would be good to knwp<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: how lpong<br />
[11:23 AM] ladyjo martin: i hope una can still host<br />
[11:23 AM] Miela Ronas: i speka truth<br />
[11:23 AM] albertlr Landar: Its also open to all homesteaders, and you are welcome to hypergrid to it anytime you wish.<br />
[11:23 AM] Bobbi Fox: ahh ty Albertir<br />
[11:24 AM] Caro Fayray: well just dont sperak...let the admins speak<br />
[11:24 AM] Dolma Dollinger: All avatars will be kept?<br />
[11:24 AM] Miela Ronas: lol!<br />
[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: And if we ever find a secure way for individual users to connect properly we would sure use it.<br />
[11:24 AM] Orion Gizmo: uhoh<br />
[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: but until then, they can not.<br />

[11:25 AM] Kane Mistwalker: do you have a vat number<br />
[11:25 AM] Rique Giano: I do not know why the money is a problem for people on here, you know running a grid cost money, servers, back ups and so on, what is 5 dolars or 10 dollars its a cup of coffee and a browny<br />
[11:25 AM] Thirza Ember: Please clarify: will our avatars survive?<br />
[11:25 AM] albertlr Landar: And one last mention about Zeffy, we plan to start a regular Newsletter to all our users with the reset and when OSrid returns.<br />
[11:25 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i would rather know if our accounts and avatars would survive over that homelander stuff right now<br />
[11:26 AM] Thirza Ember: agree Arc<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, all account will survice.<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: ok good<br />
[11:26 AM] Jillian Quintessa: nice<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: *-* YeSS! *-*<br />
[11:26 AM] Matilda Charron: yay<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: thats what i want to know<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Your inventories will survice is you back them up.<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: ok<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): ok<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i do not give one fk about my inventory<br />
[11:27 AM] Rocket Racoon: Thank you, an is that with our present content? or do you delete all again?<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: cant use my inv it was hacked<br />
[11:27 AM] Joshua 7: IF YOU back them up<br />
[11:27 AM] Dolma Dollinger: You will script the garbage out of your database?<br />
[11:27 AM] Teri More: Yes, all account will survive. :))))))<br />
[11:27 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the assets that have lots of trans in it now. So that must be reset to clean it up, and Inventories can then be reloaded with the hosters and we can help with the homesteaders.<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: good<br />
[11:27 AM] Crazy Onasis: how we save our inventory as you said all is toxic by hacker ? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: how we save our inventory as you said everything is toxic by hacker? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] Spax Orion: Full asset wipe<br />
[11:27 AM] Thirza Ember: second wipe, well we survived the first<br />
[11:27 AM] Miela Ronas: hahaha<br />
[11:27 AM] Deanna Janus: but put Filters for the HG avatars that can bring another attacks, please<br />
[11:28 AM] Miela Ronas: lmao thats what i said crazy but we cause harrsment<br />
[11:28 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: where to apply for hoster pls<br />
[11:28 AM] eva Nowicka: so, in the end, reputation and approval are something you can obtain... by paying.<br />
[11:28 AM] Bobbi Fox: Good question Ferria<br />
[11:28 AM] ladyjo martin: just please let una be hoster<br />
[11:28 AM] albertlr Landar: The problem is not each persons inventory is mesed up by hackers, its that the total inventory is full of things that filels it up. So we can not keep all that trash going forward. So a reset is needed to clean it up.<br />
[11:29 AM] Joshua 7: memory stack overflow<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving you the time and ways to save your things please take advantage of it.<br />
[11:29 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Database bloat<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: exact;u/<br />
[11:29 AM] Arcstrider Wind: yeah and to prevent that overflow they need to purge it<br />
[11:29 AM] Miela Ronas: this is a joke<br />
[11:29 AM] Jojo Tross: It's on each individual to back up *their* inventory, which is safe. There's a bunch of extra garbage data that needs to be purged but it can't be separated.<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i have person given dan the number he can help you secure osgrid<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: hes good at what he does<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: And I know that there are people who wish the grid closed, please leave we do not want you here not welcome you.<br />
[11:30 AM] Nay Kell is Online<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: Your comments are not helpingn the problems we face.<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: You just complicate matters for everyone else.<br />
[11:30 AM] Lyynn Lavender: agree albert<br />
[11:30 AM] Miela Ronas: then be smart about it how you not expect whip lash?<br />
[11:30 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: me too<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i dont want grid closed im giving you way to save it<br />
[11:31 AM] Caro Fayray: herehere albert<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: all i ask is i can keep my avie<br />
[11:31 AM] Sherree Parx: i have friend is very good in this field to help you dan has the nuber i gave it him<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: and my sims from una<br />
[11:31 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i came here after i left sl i like this grid and i do not want it to close forever but if it needs to close to become secure then do it secure it harden it make it so this shit never happens again<br />
[11:31 AM] Cueball White: Is there no way to prune the bad data? They will surely be linked to the bad actors iar uploads?<br />
[11:31 AM] albertlr Landar: Look many of you may remameer that I was at the Town Hall meeting many years ago when Hiro Took over as the Presiodent to keep the Grid going.<br />
[11:31 AM] Cherry Manga: SO...backup inventories, with trash in it ( I have no idea on how to clean this...) and then upload it again with.iar? How to backup secure way, please?<br />
[11:32 AM] Arcstrider Wind: im not going to backup anything hunting around the grid is fun for me and if i can't find it then so be it i will make it<br />
[11:32 AM] Jojo Tross: will there be any clear documentation provided to the less savvy? OSGrid's opensim guide was pretty helpful but also pretty dated<br />
[11:32 AM] Spax Orion: Good thing I took my drama immunity medication this morning: THANK YOU OSGRID > I have Faith in you WARP SPEED AHEAD!<br />
[11:32 AM] albertlr Landar: I went about getthing this Grid reorganized then, and we are doing the same thing now. Making it secure and making improvments to the forums and wiki too. We now have it possible show images in the wiki, a little matter but that was problem we had for over 15 years.<br />
[11:33 AM] Cueball White: Nice<br />
[11:34 AM] cilla teebrook: thank you albertir!!!!!<br />
[11:34 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty albert dan and to aall that is make this possible you all are greatlyy appreciated<br />
[11:34 AM] Goldvald Enoch: What will stop the asset-server from getting flooded again?<br />
[11:34 AM] Arcstrider Wind: thank you lads<br />
[11:34 AM] Matilda Charron: how do we back up our friends?<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: so not losing our beloved grid but a new improved one<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D<br />
[11:34 AM] Koni Lanzius: yay!<br />
[11:34 AM] Caro Fayray: yes ty dan and albert...we areall rooting f or u<br />
[11:34 AM] albertlr Landar: i can promise you that OSgrid will continue and if we find away every, which we can not at this time to help single home users we would. But for now we sugtgest you look at using a SSD from a sourch such as OVH or choose to use the Dreamworld software version.<br />
[11:35 AM] quaezar Agnomen: The OSG team offers a way to keep the grid running. The only way to avoid ending up in this situation again is to put an end to self-hosting and the uncontrolled uploading of IAR files. From the very beginning, my grid has been a closed system—port 8003 is blocked, and self-hosting is not permitted. Unfortunately, this is necessary to prevent bad actors from having the chance to destroy everything.<br />
This seems like the only logical solution to ensure the grid can continue. A complete wipe is required to make a fresh start. It sounds like a future-proof plan!<br />
[11:35 AM] Goldvald Enoch: OVH?<br />
[11:35 AM] Gentle Heart: I want to stick aroundosgrid was my first real home<br />
[11:35 AM] Koni Lanzius: Everyone here can make a difference in this process by starting a small donation subscription. these dedicated souls work for free for us<br />
[11:36 AM] Caro Fayray: long live OSG<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: thank you very much for your work<br />
[11:36 AM] Koni Lanzius: I will restart mine today<br />
[11:36 AM] Michael Timeless: I second that<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: yesssss<br />
[11:36 AM] albertlr Landar: OVH is the servers we use in Canada, but they also have servers located in Virginia. I pay them $52 a month to hose my regions.<br />
[11:36 AM] Robyn Starbrook: I agree Hosters should have to register and be identified also have a level of technical expertise<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: i came here from sl<br />
[11:36 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i was donating 10 a month and will do so again when comes back on line<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: FOR EVER OSGRID!<br />
[11:36 AM] Matilda Charron: well there still be games held? and poem? and event plaza?<br />
[11:37 AM] Jupiter Rowland: I guess the Plazas won't go anywhere. I hope.<br />
[11:37 AM] Poppy Fields: a grid without self hosting is not a grid. its a closed world<br />
[11:37 AM] sarah kline: i think life will continue after...thats the idea<br />
[11:37 AM] Caro Fayray: also by participating in the auction that will help the osg funds<br />
[11:37 AM] albertlr Landar: YEs, all the plazas you now use will be back and the dances and parties, everything that you now enjoy.<br />
[11:37 AM] eva Nowicka: indeed, Poppy<br />
[11:37 AM] ladyjo martin: woooohoooooo<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: :D<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Not true Poppy :)<br />
[11:38 AM] cilla teebrook: Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Orion Gizmo: did you really take 15 years to get images to show on a wiki?<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: THATS ALBERTLR!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Sherree Parx: donations and auctions from last meeting not covering cost of the grid<br />
[11:38 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Good, that means all the rare goodies at Wright will remain!<br />
[11:38 AM] Matilda Charron: Ohhhh Woooow!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: sl is a closed world<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: VIVA OSGRID!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: thst different<br />
[11:38 AM] Goldvald Enoch: So how do people get their inventory back, if they cannot upload IAR? I think there is a problem there. Either we allow them in a slim time-window, or we request they do it on another grid, or similar. The evil person will bee able to use that window, so the best solution seems to be not to allow it at all?<br />
[11:38 AM] Unadecal Masala: Sorry Albertl, in the noise I missed the answer. Will avatar accounts be preserved like last time?<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Indeed Caro<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: my opinion tho this all :<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: From the very beginning, it was all about the money—which I can certainly understand, given that everything has become more expensive—but to mislead people here like this... first with the "1-dollar model" involving the S3s—which was actually a good idea—and then, suddenly, a "hacker" enters the picture. I find these tactics highly questionable. Why didn't the OS Grid team just tell the truth from the start?<br />
[11:38 AM] Koni Lanzius: yeah, just five bucks a month will make a hella difference in keeping the grid going<br />
[11:39 AM] Crazy Onasis: this makes angry and sad in one<br />
[11:39 AM] Rique Giano: If you want your inventory, place all in boxes on a region and save the oar file<br />
[11:39 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, avatar accounts will be preserved.<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: well crazy most ppl believe in theri admins and trust they rt ell t het reuth<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: if u dont then go somewhere else<br />
[11:40 AM] Crazy Onasis: they told us other at last meeting thats the point<br />
[11:40 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: they told us others at last meeting that's the point<br />
[11:40 AM] LaBeBa SoLaRis: oops<br />
[11:40 AM] Miela Ronas: they contradict themselves and got caught lieing<br />
[11:40 AM] Matilda Charron: will the website still be the same or a new website?<br />
[11:40 AM] Jojo Tross: are all new registrations still closed then? Are we the last of a dying breed?<br />
[11:40 AM] Cueball White: So what would be the process in becoming a hoster? I've been running regions here for nearly 18 years and would love to continue<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: if u havean ax in another grid give boxed stuff to her<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: av not ax<br />
[11:40 AM] albertlr Landar: We have been running the longest opensim Grid, while other have closed and faled. We do not intend to close.<br />
[11:40 AM] Cherry Manga: at least I got an answer, ty John! About corrupted inventories, I had no idea how to see it... John told me: "the corrupted inventory... you'll know it when you see it... things labeled VERY weird... like claiming to be body parts but labeled sweater_dresser"<br />
[11:40 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = OVH or Contabo or Hetzner or the like.<br />
[11:40 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: what is the best ongoing source for contact and application for hoster?<br />
[11:41 AM] Matilda Charron: lol caro<br />
[11:41 AM] Koni Lanzius: We've had everything free here for 19 years while the admins spend their time with no compensation, they are just asking for some help. Rverything is way more expensive in this day and age<br />
[11:41 AM] Rique Giano: Why dont you tell the people , how much it cost to run osgrid, then they have an idea , as i think some people here do not have a clue, how much all cost<br />
[11:41 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = they've got big data centres.<br />
[11:41 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Crazy: If you set up a grid using the current OSG model, there is a very high probability that bad actors will destroy the grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving everyone the chanch to save their inventorius and oars, you have to Dec. 20th. That is the responsbile thing to do, and we always do that. Can you say that about other grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] orbert tatham is Online<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: Sorry Dec. 30th<br />
[11:41 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: you guys are outstanding<br />
[11:42 AM] Poppy Fields: "everybody make an IAR ready for the return. but you won't be able to upload it because there is no hosting"<br />
[11:42 AM] Michael Timeless: Better than many of the other grids. I've seen so many of them fail the last 20+ years<br />
[11:42 AM] Pat carda: osg ouvrira quand en 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Better do it as early as possible instead of everyone piling upon the admins last minute!<br />
[11:42 AM] Crazy Onasis: The OS Grid team has now lost all credibility because they didn't speak plainly from the very beginning—that is the crux of the matter, as I personally see it.<br />
[11:42 AM] Caro Fayray: so forget iars...stash boxes on sims for OAR or give ti a nother av<br />
[11:42 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Naturally, maintaining the infrastructure costs money. But the issue here is something else: the security of the grid and ensuring its continued existence.<br />
[11:42 AM] Sherree Parx: what if you stoand alone like me<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: but i use proper page for the sorce to connect to os grid<br />
[11:43 AM] azrael azra: good point Poppy... so we make an IAR as we self host.. but when you come back OSGRID 2027 we can't self host... so???????<br />
[11:43 AM] Unadecal Masala: Ferria, a hoster will be someone who can host regions in bulk for other people you can't become a hoster just by having your own region here<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: most grids dont allow IARS just oA<br />
[11:43 AM] albertlr Landar: last time we did a reset I backup and if neeed restored about 24 avatar inventories. I can help you agian is you email me at lrobers@osgrid.org. I can not guarantee I can help everyone one, but it will be a first come first serve basis.<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: ioars<br />
[11:43 AM] Arcstrider Wind: so when osgrid comes back will it be able to let people from the hypergrid visit<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: OARS<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: i only host my one which one<br />
[11:44 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: so i must keep a grid server?<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: same here<br />
[11:44 AM] Sherree Parx: just for me<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: have CC will park<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: those with regions have their own consoles they can use back up their inventoris and oars.<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: If you are with a hoster, ask them to do it for you.<br />
[11:45 AM] Thaliak Erratum: Box your inventory, put the boxes in your suitcase, brin' 'em to your other self on another grid<br />
[11:45 AM] Poppy Fields: but Albertir, what use is an iar if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:45 AM] Cherry Manga: I am with Poppy, I don't get it<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: yes thaliak<br />
[11:45 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the homestaders that need our help and our Plaza homesteaders will get out most attention.<br />
[11:45 AM] Jan Vlees: can the self hosted regions connect to osgrid, like with Neverworld?<br />
[11:45 AM] sarah kline: just keep what you really need and trash the stuff you never rezz<br />
[11:45 AM] Joshua 7: you can upload an IAR by using DREAMGRID free...through a home server or hosted server<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: lol sarah<br />
[11:46 AM] Sylvia Sonoda: People who know me/trust me can also ask me to save thier IAR for them. You do not have to be a Swondo renter for that.<br />
[11:46 AM] azrael azra: also what use is an OAR if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:46 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok if there are no more qustions then I will end this meeting and you can contineu to chat.<br />
[11:46 AM] Caro Fayray: several grids allow OARS but not IARS<br />
[11:46 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty dan and albert<br />
[11:46 AM] dan banner: thanks for your attencance and patience<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: An oar you can save<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: and you ask to the person where u go to upload it<br />
[11:46 AM] eaglefx Binder: Would it not just be easier to fix the problem makers instead? and close those holes?<br />
[11:46 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: Whatt is the avg. size of an OAR / IAR ?<br />
[11:46 AM] ladyjo martin: i need to know when osgrid comes back can una put my sims back<br />

[11:47 AM] Cherry Manga: well, there are tones of questions, maybe you can create a faq or something clear on website?<br />
[11:47 AM] Rique Giano: And if there are objects broken en you place it on a region and make an oarfile, those objects wont rezz<br />
[11:47 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: can I d/l my OAR IAR onto a cloud until I find a place to land<br />

To the Management and residents of OSgrid Inc.<br />
I, the undersigned, Paela ARGUS (Umberrock 404), hereby formally announce my resignation, effective immediately and without notice, from my position and all involvement with OSgrid Inc.<br />
This decision is due to serious health issues that require me to focus on my personal well-being, as well as a diminished interest in continuing my involvement with the OSgrid project.<br />
After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to end my participation in the project permanently.<br />
I thank you for the experiences and interactions I have had during my involvement, and I ask that you acknowledge this resignation as effective immediately.<br />
I wish OSgrid Inc. and all its members the very best for the future.<br />

[11:06 AM] Jonny Carter: Please, quiet down everyone; let’s give the floor to Dan.<br />
[11:06 AM] AMV-T: Jonny Carter[pt→en]: Please, quiet down everyone; let's give the floor to Dan.<br />
[11:06 AM] Nay Kell is Online<br />
[11:07 AM] dan banner: The plan is currently to give the residents a couple of months to make whatever backups of their inventory and regions as possible and we'll be turning off grid services at midnight Dec 31<br />
[11:07 AM] Sherree Parx: you mean the idear of going to cloud is not happening like suggested last month<br />
[11:07 AM] Christi Maeterlinck reading on Text<br />
[11:08 AM] Arcstrider Wind: is it possable to just wipe the grid again and have people upload one at a time in a isolated sandbox to try and find the cause of all this<br />
[11:08 AM] Kane Mistwalker: ODD TIME TO SHUTDOWN DAN ,WHEN EVERYONEWILL BE PARTYING FOR THE NEW YEAR<br />
[11:08 AM] Miela Ronas: its possible but they rather kill us all<br />
[11:08 AM] azrael azra: https://www.osgrid.online/news/the-end-of-the-road/<br />
[11:08 AM] hicks Adder: let Dan text please<br />

[11:09 AM] Sherree Parx: cant you close grids now wipe them and re run os grid<br />
[11:09 AM] Spax Orion: vpn is essential for home servers without loopback.<br />
[11:10 AM] Arcstrider Wind: you could lock it to trusted people only and scan every one of them that are submitted<br />
[11:10 AM] Unadecal Masala: can you all be quiet please???<br />

[11:10 AM] cilla teebrook: hmm<br />
[11:10 AM] Miela Ronas: so can u lynn<br />
[11:10 AM] Kane Mistwalker: this asset problem as been going on years everytime you make a oar the assets double when you load the oar and so next oar you make of the region will be 4 times actual size of assets<br />
[11:10 AM] Caro Fayray: SHHHHHHHH<br />
[11:10 AM] Lyynn Lavender: im not going anywhere<br />
[11:10 AM] dan banner: opensim functionality like iar and oar exist on the simulator and the open model that we currently use is the problem, since anyone can connect any code they create<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: it's bit us before in 2010 with inventory deleted<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: and there has been a few times since when the open model has had its weaknesses exploited<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: cant you make the grid like other grids like aviworlds<br />
[11:12 AM] dan banner: but this recent attack confirms the achilles heal of an open grid is no longer sustainable.<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: just dont let everyone make their sims here<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: there for then make it youhave to pay and tiers<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: so its not open<br />
[11:13 AM] ladyjo martin: have them buy from osgrid<br />
[11:13 AM] Sherree Parx: yes<br />
[11:13 AM] dan banner: in other words osgrid as we know it cannot continue. However I think albert has some information that some may appreciate regarding the furture of the grid<br />
[11:14 AM] dan banner: albert?<br />
[11:14 AM] hicks Adder: osgrid 2 the return<br />
[11:14 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Electric Boogaloo?<br />

[11:14 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok thanks be right now<br />
[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: i love osgrid<br />
[11:14 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Yes! Lets hear it about Albert!<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: Greeting everyone, I am here today to assure you that Osgrid is not going away. We plan to return in 2027 and as soon as possible with a new and more secure grid.<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: and the fuure of thisLOVELY grid!<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay!!!<br />
[11:15 AM] Bobbi Fox: OOOH<br />
[11:15 AM] Thirza Ember: hahahahahahaha<br />
[11:15 AM] Ricky Fournier is Online<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: As some may know, a hacker made attacks on the grid using home simulator connections.<br />
[11:15 AM] Arcstrider Wind: will our accounts still exist then<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] hicks Adder: decmeber 31 2027<br />
[11:15 AM] Sven Ingersoll: and the crowd goes wild<br />
[11:15 AM] John Sheppard: Hurrah!<br />
[11:15 AM] Miela Ronas: there is no fucking future here they made up there minds already<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: We have found that those particular connection are very insecure, and someone or some group has taken advantage of that to flood our servers with trash. So going forward we can not allow any home user connections for security reasons. Only approved Hosters and Homesteaders will be allowed. Hypergrid will still be open.<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Albert take me I'm yours!<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay DO IT!<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: But there will be alternatives such as the services offer by Dreamworld. Here is their link for you that are interested. https://outworldz.com/.<br />
[11:16 AM] John Sheppard: I have been running Dreamgrid for a long time.<br />
[11:16 AM] Kane Mistwalker: one minute its closing due to lack of finance ,next its because of hackers ,now its not closing it be back in 2027<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: In the meantime we urge everyone to backup their inventories and oars before Dec. 30th, 2026. And for those that need help to backup their inventories if you send me an email to lroberts@osgrid.org if you do not have a very large inventory, I can help you back them up. I just need your full avatar name and you password. And I allow you download it from Mediafire.<br />
[11:17 AM] Ricky Fournier is Offline<br />
[11:17 AM] John Sheppard: if you have questions about dreamgrid, I can point you in the right direction.<br />
[11:17 AM] Cherry Manga: But why announce a dramatic end, when the clearing out of inventories was announced in such an understated way? Sure, Halloween is coming up, but there’s no need to scare the living daylights out of us like that!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: define homesteader<br />
[11:17 AM] albertlr Landar: So with the reset we well make things more secure and depend on Hosters to allow our users to have their own regions going forward. Homesteads will still be available for free on the designated Osgrid Plazas.<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: "and you password"<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: ...<br />
[11:17 AM] Thirza Ember: LOL Cherry<br />
[11:17 AM] Crazy Onasis: was stimmt hier überhaupt redet doch mal tacheles !!!!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: what's even wrong here, just talk about it!!!!!!<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: The planned S3 migration, the requirement for $1 region fees will need to continue and will be incorporated into the new version of Osgrid.<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: und nicht drum rum<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: and not around it<br />
[11:18 AM] Miela Ronas: agreed with my brother<br />
[11:18 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Please define a Home user ?<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: erst fehlt das geld dann hat man das 1 dollar modell dann den umzug ser assets und nun hacker wer soll nun was glauben ?<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: first there is no money then you have the 1 dollar model then the move of your assets and now hackers who is supposed to believe what?<br />
[11:18 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: :willOne query, Albert. There are 'subgrids' like SWONDO that have been part of OSGrid: Will they persist in your new alternative?<br />
[11:18 AM] Orion Gizmo: you can take an IAR without a password, btw. It's never checked by robust. just saying.<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: someone how hosts their own opensim regiong from their home computer.<br />

[11:19 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Thank you<br />
[11:19 AM] Spax Orion: Charge for uploads and meter on content size. =D<br />
[11:19 AM] Jillian Quintessa: so I have to pay someone now to host my regions from my own server?<br />
[11:19 AM] albertlr Landar: We have many of those, and also many of those do not support Osgrid with subscriptions or donations.<br />
[11:20 AM] Bobbi Fox: how do you become an approved host?<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: We do not require that, but we can not trustr those connection anymore.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this in english again First the money goes missing, then there’s the "1-dollar model," then the migration of assets, and now hackers—who is supposed to believe what at this point?<br />
[11:20 AM] Rocket Racoon: will our avatar's survive this change?<br />
[11:20 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i sapport osgrid and will contiune when the new sratrs<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: They can hurt those that do support us.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this is all NIONSENS<br />

[11:21 AM] Spax Orion: Thank you Mr Landar<br />
[11:21 AM] Miela Ronas: they are not thinking and should get rid of the hackers<br />
[11:21 AM] ladyjo martin: will be able to keep our avies rez day<br />
[11:21 AM] albertlr Landar: You should know that OSgrid has been here to help eveyrone with a free and open set up<br />
[11:21 AM] Arcstrider Wind: a new grid means no more exploits and all the problems<br />
[11:22 AM] Arcstrider Wind: that come with hackers and their ilk<br />
[11:22 AM] Kane Mistwalker: IT SAYS NEVER PAY IN OPOENSIM<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: But we find that there are not too many out there that do not care about that anymore.<br />
[11:22 AM] Long Spiritor: So, as I understand it, this decision to shut down OSGRID operations on December 31, 2026, is irreversible—is that correct?<br />
[11:22 AM] Miela Ronas: there is absoultly nothing wrong with our inventorys<br />
[11:22 AM] Bobbi Fox: can you define an approved hoster please Albertiir?<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: so we have to make the changes that are needed to keep the gird secure and safe for that that suppot it.<br />
[11:22 AM] Spax Orion: If you do not want top pay in opensim the OSGRID embassy in SL accepts lindens.<br />
[11:23 AM] Matilda Charron: what will happen to our current avatars?<br />

[11:23 AM] Caro Fayray: miela please stop the harrassment....it doesnt help ppl understand<br />
[11:23 AM] albertlr Landar: An approved hoster is one that has complete identified themselves to us. That has a reputation that they are reliable.<br />
[11:23 AM] Miela Ronas: no it is not harssament use your brain<br />
[11:23 AM] Kane Mistwalker: its been running 19 years surley it should have been safe<br />
[11:23 AM] Poppy Fields: good look with your grid. if its no open except to the money makers, we might as well return to SL<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: YES: Albert, please answer Long Spirotor... we dont mind waiti longer... but it would be good to knwp<br />

[11:25 AM] Rique Giano: I do not know why the money is a problem for people on here, you know running a grid cost money, servers, back ups and so on, what is 5 dolars or 10 dollars its a cup of coffee and a browny<br />
[11:25 AM] Thirza Ember: Please clarify: will our avatars survive?<br />
[11:25 AM] albertlr Landar: And one last mention about Zeffy, we plan to start a regular Newsletter to all our users with the reset and when OSrid returns.<br />
[11:25 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i would rather know if our accounts and avatars would survive over that homelander stuff right now<br />
[11:26 AM] Thirza Ember: agree Arc<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, all account will survice.<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: ok good<br />

[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: thats what i want to know<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Your inventories will survice is you back them up.<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: ok<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): ok<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i do not give one fk about my inventory<br />
[11:27 AM] Rocket Racoon: Thank you, an is that with our present content? or do you delete all again?<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: cant use my inv it was hacked<br />
[11:27 AM] Joshua 7: IF YOU back them up<br />
[11:27 AM] Dolma Dollinger: You will script the garbage out of your database?<br />
[11:27 AM] Teri More: Yes, all account will survive. :))))))<br />
[11:27 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the assets that have lots of trans in it now. So that must be reset to clean it up, and Inventories can then be reloaded with the hosters and we can help with the homesteaders.<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: good<br />
[11:27 AM] Crazy Onasis: how we save our inventory as you said all is toxic by hacker ? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: how we save our inventory as you said everything is toxic by hacker? Nonesns again<br />

[11:27 AM] Thirza Ember: second wipe, well we survived the first<br />
[11:27 AM] Miela Ronas: hahaha<br />
[11:27 AM] Deanna Janus: but put Filters for the HG avatars that can bring another attacks, please<br />
[11:28 AM] Miela Ronas: lmao thats what i said crazy but we cause harrsment<br />
[11:28 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: where to apply for hoster pls<br />
[11:28 AM] eva Nowicka: so, in the end, reputation and approval are something you can obtain... by paying.<br />
[11:28 AM] Bobbi Fox: Good question Ferria<br />
[11:28 AM] ladyjo martin: just please let una be hoster<br />
[11:28 AM] albertlr Landar: The problem is not each persons inventory is mesed up by hackers, its that the total inventory is full of things that filels it up. So we can not keep all that trash going forward. So a reset is needed to clean it up.<br />
[11:29 AM] Joshua 7: memory stack overflow<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving you the time and ways to save your things please take advantage of it.<br />
[11:29 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Database bloat<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: exact;u/<br />
[11:29 AM] Arcstrider Wind: yeah and to prevent that overflow they need to purge it<br />
[11:29 AM] Miela Ronas: this is a joke<br />
[11:29 AM] Jojo Tross: It's on each individual to back up *their* inventory, which is safe. There's a bunch of extra garbage data that needs to be purged but it can't be separated.<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i have person given dan the number he can help you secure osgrid<br />

[11:31 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i came here after i left sl i like this grid and i do not want it to close forever but if it needs to close to become secure then do it secure it harden it make it so this shit never happens again<br />
[11:31 AM] Cueball White: Is there no way to prune the bad data? They will surely be linked to the bad actors iar uploads?<br />
[11:31 AM] albertlr Landar: Look many of you may remameer that I was at the Town Hall meeting many years ago when Hiro Took over as the Presiodent to keep the Grid going.<br />
[11:31 AM] Cherry Manga: SO...backup inventories, with trash in it ( I have no idea on how to clean this...) and then upload it again with.iar? How to backup secure way, please?<br />
[11:32 AM] Arcstrider Wind: im not going to backup anything hunting around the grid is fun for me and if i can't find it then so be it i will make it<br />
[11:32 AM] Jojo Tross: will there be any clear documentation provided to the less savvy? OSGrid's opensim guide was pretty helpful but also pretty dated<br />
[11:32 AM] Spax Orion: Good thing I took my drama immunity medication this morning: THANK YOU OSGRID > I have Faith in you WARP SPEED AHEAD!<br />
[11:32 AM] albertlr Landar: I went about getthing this Grid reorganized then, and we are doing the same thing now. Making it secure and making improvments to the forums and wiki too. We now have it possible show images in the wiki, a little matter but that was problem we had for over 15 years.<br />
[11:33 AM] Cueball White: Nice<br />
[11:34 AM] cilla teebrook: thank you albertir!!!!!<br />
[11:34 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty albert dan and to aall that is make this possible you all are greatlyy appreciated<br />
[11:34 AM] Goldvald Enoch: What will stop the asset-server from getting flooded again?<br />
[11:34 AM] Arcstrider Wind: thank you lads<br />
[11:34 AM] Matilda Charron: how do we back up our friends?<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: so not losing our beloved grid but a new improved one<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D<br />
[11:34 AM] Koni Lanzius: yay!<br />
[11:34 AM] Caro Fayray: yes ty dan and albert...we areall rooting f or u<br />
[11:34 AM] albertlr Landar: i can promise you that OSgrid will continue and if we find away every, which we can not at this time to help single home users we would. But for now we sugtgest you look at using a SSD from a sourch such as OVH or choose to use the Dreamworld software version.<br />
[11:35 AM] quaezar Agnomen: The OSG team offers a way to keep the grid running. The only way to avoid ending up in this situation again is to put an end to self-hosting and the uncontrolled uploading of IAR files. From the very beginning, my grid has been a closed system—port 8003 is blocked, and self-hosting is not permitted. Unfortunately, this is necessary to prevent bad actors from having the chance to destroy everything.<br />
This seems like the only logical solution to ensure the grid can continue. A complete wipe is required to make a fresh start. It sounds like a future-proof plan!<br />
[11:35 AM] Goldvald Enoch: OVH?<br />
[11:35 AM] Gentle Heart: I want to stick aroundosgrid was my first real home<br />
[11:35 AM] Koni Lanzius: Everyone here can make a difference in this process by starting a small donation subscription. these dedicated souls work for free for us<br />
[11:36 AM] Caro Fayray: long live OSG<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: thank you very much for your work<br />
[11:36 AM] Koni Lanzius: I will restart mine today<br />
[11:36 AM] Michael Timeless: I second that<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: yesssss<br />
[11:36 AM] albertlr Landar: OVH is the servers we use in Canada, but they also have servers located in Virginia. I pay them $52 a month to hose my regions.<br />
[11:36 AM] Robyn Starbrook: I agree Hosters should have to register and be identified also have a level of technical expertise<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: i came here from sl<br />
[11:36 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i was donating 10 a month and will do so again when comes back on line<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: FOR EVER OSGRID!<br />
[11:36 AM] Matilda Charron: well there still be games held? and poem? and event plaza?<br />
[11:37 AM] Jupiter Rowland: I guess the Plazas won't go anywhere. I hope.<br />
[11:37 AM] Poppy Fields: a grid without self hosting is not a grid. its a closed world<br />
[11:37 AM] sarah kline: i think life will continue after...thats the idea<br />
[11:37 AM] Caro Fayray: also by participating in the auction that will help the osg funds<br />
[11:37 AM] albertlr Landar: YEs, all the plazas you now use will be back and the dances and parties, everything that you now enjoy.<br />
[11:37 AM] eva Nowicka: indeed, Poppy<br />
[11:37 AM] ladyjo martin: woooohoooooo<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: :D<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Not true Poppy :)<br />
[11:38 AM] cilla teebrook: Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Orion Gizmo: did you really take 15 years to get images to show on a wiki?<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: THATS ALBERTLR!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Sherree Parx: donations and auctions from last meeting not covering cost of the grid<br />
[11:38 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Good, that means all the rare goodies at Wright will remain!<br />
[11:38 AM] Matilda Charron: Ohhhh Woooow!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: sl is a closed world<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: VIVA OSGRID!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: thst different<br />
[11:38 AM] Goldvald Enoch: So how do people get their inventory back, if they cannot upload IAR? I think there is a problem there. Either we allow them in a slim time-window, or we request they do it on another grid, or similar. The evil person will bee able to use that window, so the best solution seems to be not to allow it at all?<br />
[11:38 AM] Unadecal Masala: Sorry Albertl, in the noise I missed the answer. Will avatar accounts be preserved like last time?<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Indeed Caro<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: my opinion tho this all :<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: From the very beginning, it was all about the money—which I can certainly understand, given that everything has become more expensive—but to mislead people here like this... first with the "1-dollar model" involving the S3s—which was actually a good idea—and then, suddenly, a "hacker" enters the picture. I find these tactics highly questionable. Why didn't the OS Grid team just tell the truth from the start?<br />
[11:38 AM] Koni Lanzius: yeah, just five bucks a month will make a hella difference in keeping the grid going<br />
[11:39 AM] Crazy Onasis: this makes angry and sad in one<br />
[11:39 AM] Rique Giano: If you want your inventory, place all in boxes on a region and save the oar file<br />
[11:39 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, avatar accounts will be preserved.<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: well crazy most ppl believe in theri admins and trust they rt ell t het reuth<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: if u dont then go somewhere else<br />
[11:40 AM] Crazy Onasis: they told us other at last meeting thats the point<br />
[11:40 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: they told us others at last meeting that's the point<br />
[11:40 AM] LaBeBa SoLaRis: oops<br />
[11:40 AM] Miela Ronas: they contradict themselves and got caught lieing<br />
[11:40 AM] Matilda Charron: will the website still be the same or a new website?<br />
[11:40 AM] Jojo Tross: are all new registrations still closed then? Are we the last of a dying breed?<br />
[11:40 AM] Cueball White: So what would be the process in becoming a hoster? I've been running regions here for nearly 18 years and would love to continue<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: if u havean ax in another grid give boxed stuff to her<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: av not ax<br />
[11:40 AM] albertlr Landar: We have been running the longest opensim Grid, while other have closed and faled. We do not intend to close.<br />
[11:40 AM] Cherry Manga: at least I got an answer, ty John! About corrupted inventories, I had no idea how to see it... John told me: "the corrupted inventory... you'll know it when you see it... things labeled VERY weird... like claiming to be body parts but labeled sweater_dresser"<br />
[11:40 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = OVH or Contabo or Hetzner or the like.<br />
[11:40 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: what is the best ongoing source for contact and application for hoster?<br />
[11:41 AM] Matilda Charron: lol caro<br />
[11:41 AM] Koni Lanzius: We've had everything free here for 19 years while the admins spend their time with no compensation, they are just asking for some help. Rverything is way more expensive in this day and age<br />
[11:41 AM] Rique Giano: Why dont you tell the people , how much it cost to run osgrid, then they have an idea , as i think some people here do not have a clue, how much all cost<br />
[11:41 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = they've got big data centres.<br />
[11:41 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Crazy: If you set up a grid using the current OSG model, there is a very high probability that bad actors will destroy the grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving everyone the chanch to save their inventorius and oars, you have to Dec. 20th. That is the responsbile thing to do, and we always do that. Can you say that about other grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] orbert tatham is Online<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: Sorry Dec. 30th<br />
[11:41 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: you guys are outstanding<br />
[11:42 AM] Poppy Fields: "everybody make an IAR ready for the return. but you won't be able to upload it because there is no hosting"<br />
[11:42 AM] Michael Timeless: Better than many of the other grids. I've seen so many of them fail the last 20+ years<br />
[11:42 AM] Pat carda: osg ouvrira quand en 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Better do it as early as possible instead of everyone piling upon the admins last minute!<br />
[11:42 AM] Crazy Onasis: The OS Grid team has now lost all credibility because they didn't speak plainly from the very beginning—that is the crux of the matter, as I personally see it.<br />
[11:42 AM] Caro Fayray: so forget iars...stash boxes on sims for OAR or give ti a nother av<br />
[11:42 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Naturally, maintaining the infrastructure costs money. But the issue here is something else: the security of the grid and ensuring its continued existence.<br />
[11:42 AM] Sherree Parx: what if you stoand alone like me<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: but i use proper page for the sorce to connect to os grid<br />
[11:43 AM] azrael azra: good point Poppy... so we make an IAR as we self host.. but when you come back OSGRID 2027 we can't self host... so???????<br />
[11:43 AM] Unadecal Masala: Ferria, a hoster will be someone who can host regions in bulk for other people you can't become a hoster just by having your own region here<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: most grids dont allow IARS just oA<br />
[11:43 AM] albertlr Landar: last time we did a reset I backup and if neeed restored about 24 avatar inventories. I can help you agian is you email me at lrobers@osgrid.org. I can not guarantee I can help everyone one, but it will be a first come first serve basis.<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: ioars<br />
[11:43 AM] Arcstrider Wind: so when osgrid comes back will it be able to let people from the hypergrid visit<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: OARS<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: i only host my one which one<br />
[11:44 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: so i must keep a grid server?<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: same here<br />
[11:44 AM] Sherree Parx: just for me<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: have CC will park<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: those with regions have their own consoles they can use back up their inventoris and oars.<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: If you are with a hoster, ask them to do it for you.<br />
[11:45 AM] Thaliak Erratum: Box your inventory, put the boxes in your suitcase, brin' 'em to your other self on another grid<br />
[11:45 AM] Poppy Fields: but Albertir, what use is an iar if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:45 AM] Cherry Manga: I am with Poppy, I don't get it<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: yes thaliak<br />
[11:45 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the homestaders that need our help and our Plaza homesteaders will get out most attention.<br />
[11:45 AM] Jan Vlees: can the self hosted regions connect to osgrid, like with Neverworld?<br />
[11:45 AM] sarah kline: just keep what you really need and trash the stuff you never rezz<br />
[11:45 AM] Joshua 7: you can upload an IAR by using DREAMGRID free...through a home server or hosted server<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: lol sarah<br />
[11:46 AM] Sylvia Sonoda: People who know me/trust me can also ask me to save thier IAR for them. You do not have to be a Swondo renter for that.<br />
[11:46 AM] azrael azra: also what use is an OAR if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:46 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok if there are no more qustions then I will end this meeting and you can contineu to chat.<br />
[11:46 AM] Caro Fayray: several grids allow OARS but not IARS<br />
[11:46 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty dan and albert<br />
[11:46 AM] dan banner: thanks for your attencance and patience<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: An oar you can save<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: and you ask to the person where u go to upload it<br />
[11:46 AM] eaglefx Binder: Would it not just be easier to fix the problem makers instead? and close those holes?<br />
[11:46 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: Whatt is the avg. size of an OAR / IAR ?<br />
[11:46 AM] ladyjo martin: i need to know when osgrid comes back can una put my sims back<br />

[11:47 AM] Cherry Manga: well, there are tones of questions, maybe you can create a faq or something clear on website?<br />
[11:47 AM] Rique Giano: And if there are objects broken en you place it on a region and make an oarfile, those objects wont rezz<br />
[11:47 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: can I d/l my OAR IAR onto a cloud until I find a place to land<br />

To the Management and residents of OSgrid Inc.<br />
I, the undersigned, Paela ARGUS (Umberrock 404), hereby formally announce my resignation, effective immediately and without notice, from my position and all involvement with OSgrid Inc.<br />

After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to end my participation in the project permanently.<br />
I thank you for the experiences and interactions I have had during my involvement, and I ask that you acknowledge this resignation as effective immediately.<br />
I wish OSgrid Inc. and all its members the very best for the future.<br />

[11:07 AM] Christi Maeterlinck reading on Text<br />

[11:10 AM] cilla teebrook: hmm<br />
[11:10 AM] Miela Ronas: so can u lynn<br />
[11:10 AM] Kane Mistwalker: this asset problem as been going on years everytime you make a oar the assets double when you load the oar and so next oar you make of the region will be 4 times actual size of assets<br />
[11:10 AM] Caro Fayray: SHHHHHHHH<br />
[11:10 AM] Lyynn Lavender: im not going anywhere<br />
[11:10 AM] dan banner: opensim functionality like iar and oar exist on the simulator and the open model that we currently use is the problem, since anyone can connect any code they create<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: it's bit us before in 2010 with inventory deleted<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: and there has been a few times since when the open model has had its weaknesses exploited<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: cant you make the grid like other grids like aviworlds<br />
[11:12 AM] dan banner: but this recent attack confirms the achilles heal of an open grid is no longer sustainable.<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: just dont let everyone make their sims here<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: there for then make it youhave to pay and tiers<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: so its not open<br />
[11:13 AM] ladyjo martin: have them buy from osgrid<br />
[11:13 AM] Sherree Parx: yes<br />
[11:13 AM] dan banner: in other words osgrid as we know it cannot continue. However I think albert has some information that some may appreciate regarding the furture of the grid<br />
[11:14 AM] dan banner: albert?<br />
[11:14 AM] hicks Adder: osgrid 2 the return<br />
[11:14 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Electric Boogaloo?<br />
[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: there has to be way not to kill us<br />
[11:14 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok thanks be right now<br />
[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: i love osgrid<br />
[11:14 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Yes! Lets hear it about Albert!<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: Greeting everyone, I am here today to assure you that Osgrid is not going away. We plan to return in 2027 and as soon as possible with a new and more secure grid.<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: and the fuure of thisLOVELY grid!<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay!!!<br />
[11:15 AM] Bobbi Fox: OOOH<br />
[11:15 AM] Thirza Ember: hahahahahahaha<br />
[11:15 AM] Ricky Fournier is Online<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: As some may know, a hacker made attacks on the grid using home simulator connections.<br />
[11:15 AM] Arcstrider Wind: will our accounts still exist then<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] hicks Adder: decmeber 31 2027<br />
[11:15 AM] Sven Ingersoll: and the crowd goes wild<br />
[11:15 AM] John Sheppard: Hurrah!<br />
[11:15 AM] Miela Ronas: there is no fucking future here they made up there minds already<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: We have found that those particular connection are very insecure, and someone or some group has taken advantage of that to flood our servers with trash. So going forward we can not allow any home user connections for security reasons. Only approved Hosters and Homesteaders will be allowed. Hypergrid will still be open.<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Albert take me I'm yours!<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay DO IT!<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: But there will be alternatives such as the services offer by Dreamworld. Here is their link for you that are interested. https://outworldz.com/.<br />
[11:16 AM] John Sheppard: I have been running Dreamgrid for a long time.<br />
[11:16 AM] Kane Mistwalker: one minute its closing due to lack of finance ,next its because of hackers ,now its not closing it be back in 2027<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: In the meantime we urge everyone to backup their inventories and oars before Dec. 30th, 2026. And for those that need help to backup their inventories if you send me an email to lroberts@osgrid.org if you do not have a very large inventory, I can help you back them up. I just need your full avatar name and you password. And I allow you download it from Mediafire.<br />
[11:17 AM] Ricky Fournier is Offline<br />
[11:17 AM] John Sheppard: if you have questions about dreamgrid, I can point you in the right direction.<br />
[11:17 AM] Cherry Manga: But why announce a dramatic end, when the clearing out of inventories was announced in such an understated way? Sure, Halloween is coming up, but there’s no need to scare the living daylights out of us like that!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: define homesteader<br />
[11:17 AM] albertlr Landar: So with the reset we well make things more secure and depend on Hosters to allow our users to have their own regions going forward. Homesteads will still be available for free on the designated Osgrid Plazas.<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: "and you password"<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: ...<br />
[11:17 AM] Thirza Ember: LOL Cherry<br />
[11:17 AM] Crazy Onasis: was stimmt hier überhaupt redet doch mal tacheles !!!!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: what's even wrong here, just talk about it!!!!!!<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: The planned S3 migration, the requirement for $1 region fees will need to continue and will be incorporated into the new version of Osgrid.<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: und nicht drum rum<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: and not around it<br />
[11:18 AM] Miela Ronas: agreed with my brother<br />
[11:18 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Please define a Home user ?<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: erst fehlt das geld dann hat man das 1 dollar modell dann den umzug ser assets und nun hacker wer soll nun was glauben ?<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: first there is no money then you have the 1 dollar model then the move of your assets and now hackers who is supposed to believe what?<br />
[11:18 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: :willOne query, Albert. There are 'subgrids' like SWONDO that have been part of OSGrid: Will they persist in your new alternative?<br />
[11:18 AM] Orion Gizmo: you can take an IAR without a password, btw. It's never checked by robust. just saying.<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: someone how hosts their own opensim regiong from their home computer.<br />
[11:19 AM] Accepted friendship offer from Gentle Heart. Would you be my friend?<br />
[11:19 AM] Gentle Heart is Online<br />
[11:19 AM] albertlr Landar: region<br />
[11:19 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Thank you<br />
[11:19 AM] Spax Orion: Charge for uploads and meter on content size. =D<br />
[11:19 AM] Jillian Quintessa: so I have to pay someone now to host my regions from my own server?<br />
[11:19 AM] albertlr Landar: We have many of those, and also many of those do not support Osgrid with subscriptions or donations.<br />
[11:20 AM] Bobbi Fox: how do you become an approved host?<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: We do not require that, but we can not trustr those connection anymore.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this in english again First the money goes missing, then there’s the "1-dollar model," then the migration of assets, and now hackers—who is supposed to believe what at this point?<br />
[11:20 AM] Rocket Racoon: will our avatar's survive this change?<br />
[11:20 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i sapport osgrid and will contiune when the new sratrs<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: They can hurt those that do support us.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this is all NIONSENS<br />
[11:20 AM] Miela Ronas: yep they would rather geno side big bro '<br />
[11:20 AM] Pat carda: les inventaires vont etre encore vidés?<br />
[11:20 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:20 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: So we do not have any choice in this going forward changes need to made.<br />
[11:21 AM] Sven Ingersoll: good question, Bobby<br />
[11:21 AM] Pat carda: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:21 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:21 AM] albertlr Landar: Blame the bad actors not those of that Give our time and volunter to help everyon of you.<br />
[11:21 AM] Arcstrider Wind: the way i see it is at least os grid is not going to out right die<br />
[11:21 AM] hicks Adder: nothing is free in the life<br />
[11:21 AM] ladyjo martin: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D<br />
[11:21 AM] Spax Orion: Thank you Mr Landar<br />
[11:21 AM] Miela Ronas: they are not thinking and should get rid of the hackers<br />
[11:21 AM] ladyjo martin: will be able to keep our avies rez day<br />
[11:21 AM] albertlr Landar: You should know that OSgrid has been here to help eveyrone with a free and open set up<br />
[11:21 AM] Arcstrider Wind: a new grid means no more exploits and all the problems<br />
[11:22 AM] Arcstrider Wind: that come with hackers and their ilk<br />
[11:22 AM] Kane Mistwalker: IT SAYS NEVER PAY IN OPOENSIM<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: But we find that there are not too many out there that do not care about that anymore.<br />
[11:22 AM] Long Spiritor: So, as I understand it, this decision to shut down OSGRID operations on December 31, 2026, is irreversible—is that correct?<br />
[11:22 AM] Miela Ronas: there is absoultly nothing wrong with our inventorys<br />
[11:22 AM] Bobbi Fox: can you define an approved hoster please Albertiir?<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: so we have to make the changes that are needed to keep the gird secure and safe for that that suppot it.<br />
[11:22 AM] Spax Orion: If you do not want top pay in opensim the OSGRID embassy in SL accepts lindens.<br />
[11:23 AM] Matilda Charron: what will happen to our current avatars?<br />
[11:23 AM] Teri More: Please Make An FAQ please of all the changes.<br />
[11:23 AM] Caro Fayray: miela please stop the harrassment....it doesnt help ppl understand<br />
[11:23 AM] albertlr Landar: An approved hoster is one that has complete identified themselves to us. That has a reputation that they are reliable.<br />
[11:23 AM] Miela Ronas: no it is not harssament use your brain<br />
[11:23 AM] Kane Mistwalker: its been running 19 years surley it should have been safe<br />
[11:23 AM] Poppy Fields: good look with your grid. if its no open except to the money makers, we might as well return to SL<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: YES: Albert, please answer Long Spirotor... we dont mind waiti longer... but it would be good to knwp<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: how lpong<br />
[11:23 AM] ladyjo martin: i hope una can still host<br />
[11:23 AM] Miela Ronas: i speka truth<br />
[11:23 AM] albertlr Landar: Its also open to all homesteaders, and you are welcome to hypergrid to it anytime you wish.<br />
[11:23 AM] Bobbi Fox: ahh ty Albertir<br />
[11:24 AM] Caro Fayray: well just dont sperak...let the admins speak<br />
[11:24 AM] Dolma Dollinger: All avatars will be kept?<br />
[11:24 AM] Miela Ronas: lol!<br />
[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: And if we ever find a secure way for individual users to connect properly we would sure use it.<br />
[11:24 AM] Orion Gizmo: uhoh<br />
[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: but until then, they can not.<br />

[11:25 AM] Teri More: then u know user<br />
[11:25 AM] Kane Mistwalker: do you have a vat number<br />
[11:25 AM] Rique Giano: I do not know why the money is a problem for people on here, you know running a grid cost money, servers, back ups and so on, what is 5 dolars or 10 dollars its a cup of coffee and a browny<br />
[11:25 AM] Thirza Ember: Please clarify: will our avatars survive?<br />
[11:25 AM] albertlr Landar: And one last mention about Zeffy, we plan to start a regular Newsletter to all our users with the reset and when OSrid returns.<br />
[11:25 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i would rather know if our accounts and avatars would survive over that homelander stuff right now<br />
[11:26 AM] Thirza Ember: agree Arc<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, all account will survice.<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: ok good<br />
[11:26 AM] Jillian Quintessa: nice<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: *-* YeSS! *-*<br />
[11:26 AM] Matilda Charron: yay<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: thats what i want to know<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Your inventories will survice is you back them up.<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: ok<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): ok<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i do not give one fk about my inventory<br />
[11:27 AM] Rocket Racoon: Thank you, an is that with our present content? or do you delete all again?<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: cant use my inv it was hacked<br />
[11:27 AM] Joshua 7: IF YOU back them up<br />
[11:27 AM] Dolma Dollinger: You will script the garbage out of your database?<br />
[11:27 AM] Teri More: Yes, all account will survive. :))))))<br />
[11:27 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the assets that have lots of trans in it now. So that must be reset to clean it up, and Inventories can then be reloaded with the hosters and we can help with the homesteaders.<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: good<br />
[11:27 AM] Crazy Onasis: how we save our inventory as you said all is toxic by hacker ? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: how we save our inventory as you said everything is toxic by hacker? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] Spax Orion: Full asset wipe<br />
[11:27 AM] Thirza Ember: second wipe, well we survived the first<br />
[11:27 AM] Miela Ronas: hahaha<br />
[11:27 AM] Deanna Janus: but put Filters for the HG avatars that can bring another attacks, please<br />
[11:28 AM] Miela Ronas: lmao thats what i said crazy but we cause harrsment<br />
[11:28 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: where to apply for hoster pls<br />
[11:28 AM] eva Nowicka: so, in the end, reputation and approval are something you can obtain... by paying.<br />
[11:28 AM] Bobbi Fox: Good question Ferria<br />
[11:28 AM] ladyjo martin: just please let una be hoster<br />
[11:28 AM] albertlr Landar: The problem is not each persons inventory is mesed up by hackers, its that the total inventory is full of things that filels it up. So we can not keep all that trash going forward. So a reset is needed to clean it up.<br />
[11:29 AM] Joshua 7: memory stack overflow<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving you the time and ways to save your things please take advantage of it.<br />
[11:29 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Database bloat<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: exact;u/<br />
[11:29 AM] Arcstrider Wind: yeah and to prevent that overflow they need to purge it<br />
[11:29 AM] Miela Ronas: this is a joke<br />
[11:29 AM] Jojo Tross: It's on each individual to back up *their* inventory, which is safe. There's a bunch of extra garbage data that needs to be purged but it can't be separated.<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i have person given dan the number he can help you secure osgrid<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: hes good at what he does<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: And I know that there are people who wish the grid closed, please leave we do not want you here not welcome you.<br />
[11:30 AM] Nay Kell is Online<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: Your comments are not helpingn the problems we face.<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: You just complicate matters for everyone else.<br />
[11:30 AM] Lyynn Lavender: agree albert<br />
[11:30 AM] Miela Ronas: then be smart about it how you not expect whip lash?<br />
[11:30 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: me too<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i dont want grid closed im giving you way to save it<br />
[11:31 AM] Caro Fayray: herehere albert<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: all i ask is i can keep my avie<br />
[11:31 AM] Sherree Parx: i have friend is very good in this field to help you dan has the nuber i gave it him<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: and my sims from una<br />
[11:31 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i came here after i left sl i like this grid and i do not want it to close forever but if it needs to close to become secure then do it secure it harden it make it so this shit never happens again<br />
[11:31 AM] Cueball White: Is there no way to prune the bad data? They will surely be linked to the bad actors iar uploads?<br />
[11:31 AM] albertlr Landar: Look many of you may remameer that I was at the Town Hall meeting many years ago when Hiro Took over as the Presiodent to keep the Grid going.<br />
[11:31 AM] Cherry Manga: SO...backup inventories, with trash in it ( I have no idea on how to clean this...) and then upload it again with.iar? How to backup secure way, please?<br />
[11:32 AM] Arcstrider Wind: im not going to backup anything hunting around the grid is fun for me and if i can't find it then so be it i will make it<br />
[11:32 AM] Jojo Tross: will there be any clear documentation provided to the less savvy? OSGrid's opensim guide was pretty helpful but also pretty dated<br />
[11:32 AM] Spax Orion: Good thing I took my drama immunity medication this morning: THANK YOU OSGRID > I have Faith in you WARP SPEED AHEAD!<br />
[11:32 AM] albertlr Landar: I went about getthing this Grid reorganized then, and we are doing the same thing now. Making it secure and making improvments to the forums and wiki too. We now have it possible show images in the wiki, a little matter but that was problem we had for over 15 years.<br />
[11:33 AM] Cueball White: Nice<br />
[11:34 AM] cilla teebrook: thank you albertir!!!!!<br />
[11:34 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty albert dan and to aall that is make this possible you all are greatlyy appreciated<br />
[11:34 AM] Goldvald Enoch: What will stop the asset-server from getting flooded again?<br />
[11:34 AM] Arcstrider Wind: thank you lads<br />
[11:34 AM] Matilda Charron: how do we back up our friends?<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: so not losing our beloved grid but a new improved one<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D<br />
[11:34 AM] Koni Lanzius: yay!<br />
[11:34 AM] Caro Fayray: yes ty dan and albert...we areall rooting f or u<br />
[11:34 AM] albertlr Landar: i can promise you that OSgrid will continue and if we find away every, which we can not at this time to help single home users we would. But for now we sugtgest you look at using a SSD from a sourch such as OVH or choose to use the Dreamworld software version.<br />
[11:35 AM] quaezar Agnomen: The OSG team offers a way to keep the grid running. The only way to avoid ending up in this situation again is to put an end to self-hosting and the uncontrolled uploading of IAR files. From the very beginning, my grid has been a closed system—port 8003 is blocked, and self-hosting is not permitted. Unfortunately, this is necessary to prevent bad actors from having the chance to destroy everything.<br />
This seems like the only logical solution to ensure the grid can continue. A complete wipe is required to make a fresh start. It sounds like a future-proof plan!<br />
[11:35 AM] Goldvald Enoch: OVH?<br />
[11:35 AM] Gentle Heart: I want to stick aroundosgrid was my first real home<br />
[11:35 AM] Koni Lanzius: Everyone here can make a difference in this process by starting a small donation subscription. these dedicated souls work for free for us<br />
[11:36 AM] Caro Fayray: long live OSG<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: thank you very much for your work<br />
[11:36 AM] Koni Lanzius: I will restart mine today<br />
[11:36 AM] Michael Timeless: I second that<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: yesssss<br />
[11:36 AM] albertlr Landar: OVH is the servers we use in Canada, but they also have servers located in Virginia. I pay them $52 a month to hose my regions.<br />
[11:36 AM] Robyn Starbrook: I agree Hosters should have to register and be identified also have a level of technical expertise<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: i came here from sl<br />
[11:36 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i was donating 10 a month and will do so again when comes back on line<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: FOR EVER OSGRID!<br />
[11:36 AM] Matilda Charron: well there still be games held? and poem? and event plaza?<br />
[11:37 AM] Jupiter Rowland: I guess the Plazas won't go anywhere. I hope.<br />
[11:37 AM] Poppy Fields: a grid without self hosting is not a grid. its a closed world<br />
[11:37 AM] sarah kline: i think life will continue after...thats the idea<br />
[11:37 AM] Caro Fayray: also by participating in the auction that will help the osg funds<br />
[11:37 AM] albertlr Landar: YEs, all the plazas you now use will be back and the dances and parties, everything that you now enjoy.<br />
[11:37 AM] eva Nowicka: indeed, Poppy<br />
[11:37 AM] ladyjo martin: woooohoooooo<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: :D<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Not true Poppy :)<br />
[11:38 AM] cilla teebrook: Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Orion Gizmo: did you really take 15 years to get images to show on a wiki?<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: THATS ALBERTLR!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Sherree Parx: donations and auctions from last meeting not covering cost of the grid<br />
[11:38 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Good, that means all the rare goodies at Wright will remain!<br />
[11:38 AM] Matilda Charron: Ohhhh Woooow!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: sl is a closed world<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: VIVA OSGRID!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: thst different<br />
[11:38 AM] Goldvald Enoch: So how do people get their inventory back, if they cannot upload IAR? I think there is a problem there. Either we allow them in a slim time-window, or we request they do it on another grid, or similar. The evil person will bee able to use that window, so the best solution seems to be not to allow it at all?<br />
[11:38 AM] Unadecal Masala: Sorry Albertl, in the noise I missed the answer. Will avatar accounts be preserved like last time?<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Indeed Caro<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: my opinion tho this all :<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: From the very beginning, it was all about the money—which I can certainly understand, given that everything has become more expensive—but to mislead people here like this... first with the "1-dollar model" involving the S3s—which was actually a good idea—and then, suddenly, a "hacker" enters the picture. I find these tactics highly questionable. Why didn't the OS Grid team just tell the truth from the start?<br />
[11:38 AM] Koni Lanzius: yeah, just five bucks a month will make a hella difference in keeping the grid going<br />
[11:39 AM] Crazy Onasis: this makes angry and sad in one<br />
[11:39 AM] Rique Giano: If you want your inventory, place all in boxes on a region and save the oar file<br />
[11:39 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, avatar accounts will be preserved.<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: well crazy most ppl believe in theri admins and trust they rt ell t het reuth<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: if u dont then go somewhere else<br />
[11:40 AM] Crazy Onasis: they told us other at last meeting thats the point<br />
[11:40 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: they told us others at last meeting that's the point<br />
[11:40 AM] LaBeBa SoLaRis: oops<br />
[11:40 AM] Miela Ronas: they contradict themselves and got caught lieing<br />
[11:40 AM] Matilda Charron: will the website still be the same or a new website?<br />
[11:40 AM] Jojo Tross: are all new registrations still closed then? Are we the last of a dying breed?<br />
[11:40 AM] Cueball White: So what would be the process in becoming a hoster? I've been running regions here for nearly 18 years and would love to continue<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: if u havean ax in another grid give boxed stuff to her<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: av not ax<br />
[11:40 AM] albertlr Landar: We have been running the longest opensim Grid, while other have closed and faled. We do not intend to close.<br />
[11:40 AM] Cherry Manga: at least I got an answer, ty John! About corrupted inventories, I had no idea how to see it... John told me: "the corrupted inventory... you'll know it when you see it... things labeled VERY weird... like claiming to be body parts but labeled sweater_dresser"<br />
[11:40 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = OVH or Contabo or Hetzner or the like.<br />
[11:40 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: what is the best ongoing source for contact and application for hoster?<br />
[11:41 AM] Matilda Charron: lol caro<br />
[11:41 AM] Koni Lanzius: We've had everything free here for 19 years while the admins spend their time with no compensation, they are just asking for some help. Rverything is way more expensive in this day and age<br />
[11:41 AM] Rique Giano: Why dont you tell the people , how much it cost to run osgrid, then they have an idea , as i think some people here do not have a clue, how much all cost<br />
[11:41 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = they've got big data centres.<br />
[11:41 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Crazy: If you set up a grid using the current OSG model, there is a very high probability that bad actors will destroy the grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving everyone the chanch to save their inventorius and oars, you have to Dec. 20th. That is the responsbile thing to do, and we always do that. Can you say that about other grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] orbert tatham is Online<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: Sorry Dec. 30th<br />
[11:41 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: you guys are outstanding<br />
[11:42 AM] Poppy Fields: "everybody make an IAR ready for the return. but you won't be able to upload it because there is no hosting"<br />
[11:42 AM] Michael Timeless: Better than many of the other grids. I've seen so many of them fail the last 20+ years<br />
[11:42 AM] Pat carda: osg ouvrira quand en 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Better do it as early as possible instead of everyone piling upon the admins last minute!<br />
[11:42 AM] Crazy Onasis: The OS Grid team has now lost all credibility because they didn't speak plainly from the very beginning—that is the crux of the matter, as I personally see it.<br />
[11:42 AM] Caro Fayray: so forget iars...stash boxes on sims for OAR or give ti a nother av<br />
[11:42 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Naturally, maintaining the infrastructure costs money. But the issue here is something else: the security of the grid and ensuring its continued existence.<br />
[11:42 AM] Sherree Parx: what if you stoand alone like me<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: but i use proper page for the sorce to connect to os grid<br />
[11:43 AM] azrael azra: good point Poppy... so we make an IAR as we self host.. but when you come back OSGRID 2027 we can't self host... so???????<br />
[11:43 AM] Unadecal Masala: Ferria, a hoster will be someone who can host regions in bulk for other people you can't become a hoster just by having your own region here<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: most grids dont allow IARS just oA<br />
[11:43 AM] albertlr Landar: last time we did a reset I backup and if neeed restored about 24 avatar inventories. I can help you agian is you email me at lrobers@osgrid.org. I can not guarantee I can help everyone one, but it will be a first come first serve basis.<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: ioars<br />
[11:43 AM] Arcstrider Wind: so when osgrid comes back will it be able to let people from the hypergrid visit<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: OARS<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: i only host my one which one<br />
[11:44 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: so i must keep a grid server?<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: same here<br />
[11:44 AM] Sherree Parx: just for me<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: have CC will park<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: those with regions have their own consoles they can use back up their inventoris and oars.<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: If you are with a hoster, ask them to do it for you.<br />
[11:45 AM] Thaliak Erratum: Box your inventory, put the boxes in your suitcase, brin' 'em to your other self on another grid<br />
[11:45 AM] Poppy Fields: but Albertir, what use is an iar if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:45 AM] Cherry Manga: I am with Poppy, I don't get it<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: yes thaliak<br />
[11:45 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the homestaders that need our help and our Plaza homesteaders will get out most attention.<br />
[11:45 AM] Jan Vlees: can the self hosted regions connect to osgrid, like with Neverworld?<br />
[11:45 AM] sarah kline: just keep what you really need and trash the stuff you never rezz<br />
[11:45 AM] Joshua 7: you can upload an IAR by using DREAMGRID free...through a home server or hosted server<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: lol sarah<br />
[11:46 AM] Sylvia Sonoda: People who know me/trust me can also ask me to save thier IAR for them. You do not have to be a Swondo renter for that.<br />
[11:46 AM] azrael azra: also what use is an OAR if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:46 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok if there are no more qustions then I will end this meeting and you can contineu to chat.<br />
[11:46 AM] Caro Fayray: several grids allow OARS but not IARS<br />

[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: and you ask to the person where u go to upload it<br />
[11:46 AM] eaglefx Binder: Would it not just be easier to fix the problem makers instead? and close those holes?<br />
[11:46 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: Whatt is the avg. size of an OAR / IAR ?<br />
[11:46 AM] ladyjo martin: i need to know when osgrid comes back can una put my sims back<br />

To the Management and residents of OSgrid Inc.<br />
I, the undersigned, Paela ARGUS (Umberrock 404), hereby formally announce my resignation, effective immediately and without notice, from my position and all involvement with OSgrid Inc.<br />
This decision is due to serious health issues that require me to focus on my personal well-being, as well as a diminished interest in continuing my involvement with the OSgrid project.<br />
After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to end my participation in the project permanently.<br />
I thank you for the experiences and interactions I have had during my involvement, and I ask that you acknowledge this resignation as effective immediately.<br />
I wish OSgrid Inc. and all its members the very best for the future.<br />

[11:06 AM] AMV-T: Jonny Carter[pt→en]: Please, quiet down everyone; let's give the floor to Dan.<br />

[11:07 AM] Christi Maeterlinck reading on Text<br />

[11:09 AM] Spax Orion: vpn is essential for home servers without loopback.<br />

[11:10 AM] cilla teebrook: hmm<br />
[11:10 AM] Miela Ronas: so can u lynn<br />
[11:10 AM] Kane Mistwalker: this asset problem as been going on years everytime you make a oar the assets double when you load the oar and so next oar you make of the region will be 4 times actual size of assets<br />
[11:10 AM] Caro Fayray: SHHHHHHHH<br />
[11:10 AM] Lyynn Lavender: im not going anywhere<br />
[11:10 AM] dan banner: opensim functionality like iar and oar exist on the simulator and the open model that we currently use is the problem, since anyone can connect any code they create<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: it's bit us before in 2010 with inventory deleted<br />
[11:11 AM] dan banner: and there has been a few times since when the open model has had its weaknesses exploited<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: cant you make the grid like other grids like aviworlds<br />
[11:12 AM] dan banner: but this recent attack confirms the achilles heal of an open grid is no longer sustainable.<br />
[11:12 AM] ladyjo martin: just dont let everyone make their sims here<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: there for then make it youhave to pay and tiers<br />
[11:12 AM] Sherree Parx: so its not open<br />
[11:13 AM] ladyjo martin: have them buy from osgrid<br />
[11:13 AM] Sherree Parx: yes<br />
[11:13 AM] dan banner: in other words osgrid as we know it cannot continue. However I think albert has some information that some may appreciate regarding the furture of the grid<br />
[11:14 AM] dan banner: albert?<br />
[11:14 AM] hicks Adder: osgrid 2 the return<br />
[11:14 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Electric Boogaloo?<br />

[11:14 AM] ladyjo martin: i love osgrid<br />
[11:14 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Yes! Lets hear it about Albert!<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: Greeting everyone, I am here today to assure you that Osgrid is not going away. We plan to return in 2027 and as soon as possible with a new and more secure grid.<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: and the fuure of thisLOVELY grid!<br />
[11:15 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay!!!<br />
[11:15 AM] Bobbi Fox: OOOH<br />
[11:15 AM] Thirza Ember: hahahahahahaha<br />
[11:15 AM] Ricky Fournier is Online<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: As some may know, a hacker made attacks on the grid using home simulator connections.<br />
[11:15 AM] Arcstrider Wind: will our accounts still exist then<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] Deanna Janus: ♬ APPLAUSE! ♬<br />
[11:15 AM] hicks Adder: decmeber 31 2027<br />
[11:15 AM] Sven Ingersoll: and the crowd goes wild<br />
[11:15 AM] John Sheppard: Hurrah!<br />
[11:15 AM] Miela Ronas: there is no fucking future here they made up there minds already<br />
[11:15 AM] albertlr Landar: We have found that those particular connection are very insecure, and someone or some group has taken advantage of that to flood our servers with trash. So going forward we can not allow any home user connections for security reasons. Only approved Hosters and Homesteaders will be allowed. Hypergrid will still be open.<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: Albert take me I'm yours!<br />
[11:16 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: yeay DO IT!<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: But there will be alternatives such as the services offer by Dreamworld. Here is their link for you that are interested. https://outworldz.com/.<br />
[11:16 AM] John Sheppard: I have been running Dreamgrid for a long time.<br />
[11:16 AM] Kane Mistwalker: one minute its closing due to lack of finance ,next its because of hackers ,now its not closing it be back in 2027<br />
[11:16 AM] albertlr Landar: In the meantime we urge everyone to backup their inventories and oars before Dec. 30th, 2026. And for those that need help to backup their inventories if you send me an email to lroberts@osgrid.org if you do not have a very large inventory, I can help you back them up. I just need your full avatar name and you password. And I allow you download it from Mediafire.<br />
[11:17 AM] Ricky Fournier is Offline<br />
[11:17 AM] John Sheppard: if you have questions about dreamgrid, I can point you in the right direction.<br />
[11:17 AM] Cherry Manga: But why announce a dramatic end, when the clearing out of inventories was announced in such an understated way? Sure, Halloween is coming up, but there’s no need to scare the living daylights out of us like that!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: define homesteader<br />
[11:17 AM] albertlr Landar: So with the reset we well make things more secure and depend on Hosters to allow our users to have their own regions going forward. Homesteads will still be available for free on the designated Osgrid Plazas.<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: "and you password"<br />
[11:17 AM] Orion Gizmo: ...<br />
[11:17 AM] Thirza Ember: LOL Cherry<br />
[11:17 AM] Crazy Onasis: was stimmt hier überhaupt redet doch mal tacheles !!!!!!<br />
[11:17 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: what's even wrong here, just talk about it!!!!!!<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: The planned S3 migration, the requirement for $1 region fees will need to continue and will be incorporated into the new version of Osgrid.<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: und nicht drum rum<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: and not around it<br />
[11:18 AM] Miela Ronas: agreed with my brother<br />
[11:18 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Please define a Home user ?<br />
[11:18 AM] Crazy Onasis: erst fehlt das geld dann hat man das 1 dollar modell dann den umzug ser assets und nun hacker wer soll nun was glauben ?<br />
[11:18 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: first there is no money then you have the 1 dollar model then the move of your assets and now hackers who is supposed to believe what?<br />
[11:18 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: :willOne query, Albert. There are 'subgrids' like SWONDO that have been part of OSGrid: Will they persist in your new alternative?<br />
[11:18 AM] Orion Gizmo: you can take an IAR without a password, btw. It's never checked by robust. just saying.<br />
[11:18 AM] albertlr Landar: someone how hosts their own opensim regiong from their home computer.<br />

[11:19 AM] Spax Orion: Charge for uploads and meter on content size. =D<br />
[11:19 AM] Jillian Quintessa: so I have to pay someone now to host my regions from my own server?<br />
[11:19 AM] albertlr Landar: We have many of those, and also many of those do not support Osgrid with subscriptions or donations.<br />
[11:20 AM] Bobbi Fox: how do you become an approved host?<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: We do not require that, but we can not trustr those connection anymore.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this in english again First the money goes missing, then there’s the "1-dollar model," then the migration of assets, and now hackers—who is supposed to believe what at this point?<br />
[11:20 AM] Rocket Racoon: will our avatar's survive this change?<br />
[11:20 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i sapport osgrid and will contiune when the new sratrs<br />
[11:20 AM] albertlr Landar: They can hurt those that do support us.<br />
[11:20 AM] Crazy Onasis: this is all NIONSENS<br />
[11:20 AM] Miela Ronas: yep they would rather geno side big bro '<br />
[11:20 AM] Pat carda: les inventaires vont etre encore vidés?<br />

[11:20 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />

[11:21 AM] ladyjo martin: will be able to keep our avies rez day<br />
[11:21 AM] albertlr Landar: You should know that OSgrid has been here to help eveyrone with a free and open set up<br />
[11:21 AM] Arcstrider Wind: a new grid means no more exploits and all the problems<br />
[11:22 AM] Arcstrider Wind: that come with hackers and their ilk<br />
[11:22 AM] Kane Mistwalker: IT SAYS NEVER PAY IN OPOENSIM<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: But we find that there are not too many out there that do not care about that anymore.<br />
[11:22 AM] Long Spiritor: So, as I understand it, this decision to shut down OSGRID operations on December 31, 2026, is irreversible—is that correct?<br />
[11:22 AM] Miela Ronas: there is absoultly nothing wrong with our inventorys<br />
[11:22 AM] Bobbi Fox: can you define an approved hoster please Albertiir?<br />
[11:22 AM] albertlr Landar: so we have to make the changes that are needed to keep the gird secure and safe for that that suppot it.<br />

[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: YES: Albert, please answer Long Spirotor... we dont mind waiti longer... but it would be good to knwp<br />
[11:23 AM] Christi Maeterlinck: how lpong<br />

[11:23 AM] Bobbi Fox: ahh ty Albertir<br />

[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: And if we ever find a secure way for individual users to connect properly we would sure use it.<br />
[11:24 AM] Orion Gizmo: uhoh<br />
[11:24 AM] albertlr Landar: but until then, they can not.<br />

[11:25 AM] Kane Mistwalker: do you have a vat number<br />
[11:25 AM] Rique Giano: I do not know why the money is a problem for people on here, you know running a grid cost money, servers, back ups and so on, what is 5 dolars or 10 dollars its a cup of coffee and a browny<br />
[11:25 AM] Thirza Ember: Please clarify: will our avatars survive?<br />
[11:25 AM] albertlr Landar: And one last mention about Zeffy, we plan to start a regular Newsletter to all our users with the reset and when OSrid returns.<br />
[11:25 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i would rather know if our accounts and avatars would survive over that homelander stuff right now<br />
[11:26 AM] Thirza Ember: agree Arc<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, all account will survice.<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: ok good<br />
[11:26 AM] Jillian Quintessa: nice<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: *-* YeSS! *-*<br />
[11:26 AM] Matilda Charron: yay<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): will the inventories be emptied again?<br />
[11:26 AM] ladyjo martin: thats what i want to know<br />
[11:26 AM] albertlr Landar: Your inventories will survice is you back them up.<br />
[11:26 AM] Pat carda: ok<br />
[11:26 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): ok<br />
[11:26 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i do not give one fk about my inventory<br />
[11:27 AM] Rocket Racoon: Thank you, an is that with our present content? or do you delete all again?<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: cant use my inv it was hacked<br />
[11:27 AM] Joshua 7: IF YOU back them up<br />
[11:27 AM] Dolma Dollinger: You will script the garbage out of your database?<br />
[11:27 AM] Teri More: Yes, all account will survive. :))))))<br />
[11:27 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the assets that have lots of trans in it now. So that must be reset to clean it up, and Inventories can then be reloaded with the hosters and we can help with the homesteaders.<br />
[11:27 AM] ladyjo martin: good<br />
[11:27 AM] Crazy Onasis: how we save our inventory as you said all is toxic by hacker ? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: how we save our inventory as you said everything is toxic by hacker? Nonesns again<br />
[11:27 AM] Spax Orion: Full asset wipe<br />
[11:27 AM] Thirza Ember: second wipe, well we survived the first<br />
[11:27 AM] Miela Ronas: hahaha<br />
[11:27 AM] Deanna Janus: but put Filters for the HG avatars that can bring another attacks, please<br />
[11:28 AM] Miela Ronas: lmao thats what i said crazy but we cause harrsment<br />
[11:28 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: where to apply for hoster pls<br />
[11:28 AM] eva Nowicka: so, in the end, reputation and approval are something you can obtain... by paying.<br />
[11:28 AM] Bobbi Fox: Good question Ferria<br />
[11:28 AM] ladyjo martin: just please let una be hoster<br />
[11:28 AM] albertlr Landar: The problem is not each persons inventory is mesed up by hackers, its that the total inventory is full of things that filels it up. So we can not keep all that trash going forward. So a reset is needed to clean it up.<br />
[11:29 AM] Joshua 7: memory stack overflow<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving you the time and ways to save your things please take advantage of it.<br />
[11:29 AM] Robyn Starbrook: Database bloat<br />
[11:29 AM] albertlr Landar: exact;u/<br />
[11:29 AM] Arcstrider Wind: yeah and to prevent that overflow they need to purge it<br />
[11:29 AM] Miela Ronas: this is a joke<br />
[11:29 AM] Jojo Tross: It's on each individual to back up *their* inventory, which is safe. There's a bunch of extra garbage data that needs to be purged but it can't be separated.<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i have person given dan the number he can help you secure osgrid<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: hes good at what he does<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: And I know that there are people who wish the grid closed, please leave we do not want you here not welcome you.<br />
[11:30 AM] Nay Kell is Online<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: Your comments are not helpingn the problems we face.<br />
[11:30 AM] albertlr Landar: You just complicate matters for everyone else.<br />
[11:30 AM] Lyynn Lavender: agree albert<br />
[11:30 AM] Miela Ronas: then be smart about it how you not expect whip lash?<br />
[11:30 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: me too<br />
[11:30 AM] Sherree Parx: i dont want grid closed im giving you way to save it<br />
[11:31 AM] Caro Fayray: herehere albert<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: all i ask is i can keep my avie<br />
[11:31 AM] Sherree Parx: i have friend is very good in this field to help you dan has the nuber i gave it him<br />
[11:31 AM] ladyjo martin: and my sims from una<br />
[11:31 AM] Arcstrider Wind: i came here after i left sl i like this grid and i do not want it to close forever but if it needs to close to become secure then do it secure it harden it make it so this shit never happens again<br />
[11:31 AM] Cueball White: Is there no way to prune the bad data? They will surely be linked to the bad actors iar uploads?<br />
[11:31 AM] albertlr Landar: Look many of you may remameer that I was at the Town Hall meeting many years ago when Hiro Took over as the Presiodent to keep the Grid going.<br />
[11:31 AM] Cherry Manga: SO...backup inventories, with trash in it ( I have no idea on how to clean this...) and then upload it again with.iar? How to backup secure way, please?<br />
[11:32 AM] Arcstrider Wind: im not going to backup anything hunting around the grid is fun for me and if i can't find it then so be it i will make it<br />
[11:32 AM] Jojo Tross: will there be any clear documentation provided to the less savvy? OSGrid's opensim guide was pretty helpful but also pretty dated<br />
[11:32 AM] Spax Orion: Good thing I took my drama immunity medication this morning: THANK YOU OSGRID > I have Faith in you WARP SPEED AHEAD!<br />
[11:32 AM] albertlr Landar: I went about getthing this Grid reorganized then, and we are doing the same thing now. Making it secure and making improvments to the forums and wiki too. We now have it possible show images in the wiki, a little matter but that was problem we had for over 15 years.<br />
[11:33 AM] Cueball White: Nice<br />
[11:34 AM] cilla teebrook: thank you albertir!!!!!<br />
[11:34 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty albert dan and to aall that is make this possible you all are greatlyy appreciated<br />
[11:34 AM] Goldvald Enoch: What will stop the asset-server from getting flooded again?<br />
[11:34 AM] Arcstrider Wind: thank you lads<br />
[11:34 AM] Matilda Charron: how do we back up our friends?<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: so not losing our beloved grid but a new improved one<br />
[11:34 AM] ladyjo martin: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D :p :D :p :D<br />
[11:34 AM] Koni Lanzius: yay!<br />
[11:34 AM] Caro Fayray: yes ty dan and albert...we areall rooting f or u<br />
[11:34 AM] albertlr Landar: i can promise you that OSgrid will continue and if we find away every, which we can not at this time to help single home users we would. But for now we sugtgest you look at using a SSD from a sourch such as OVH or choose to use the Dreamworld software version.<br />
[11:35 AM] quaezar Agnomen: The OSG team offers a way to keep the grid running. The only way to avoid ending up in this situation again is to put an end to self-hosting and the uncontrolled uploading of IAR files. From the very beginning, my grid has been a closed system—port 8003 is blocked, and self-hosting is not permitted. Unfortunately, this is necessary to prevent bad actors from having the chance to destroy everything.<br />
This seems like the only logical solution to ensure the grid can continue. A complete wipe is required to make a fresh start. It sounds like a future-proof plan!<br />
[11:35 AM] Goldvald Enoch: OVH?<br />
[11:35 AM] Gentle Heart: I want to stick aroundosgrid was my first real home<br />
[11:35 AM] Koni Lanzius: Everyone here can make a difference in this process by starting a small donation subscription. these dedicated souls work for free for us<br />
[11:36 AM] Caro Fayray: long live OSG<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: thank you very much for your work<br />
[11:36 AM] Koni Lanzius: I will restart mine today<br />
[11:36 AM] Michael Timeless: I second that<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: yesssss<br />
[11:36 AM] albertlr Landar: OVH is the servers we use in Canada, but they also have servers located in Virginia. I pay them $52 a month to hose my regions.<br />
[11:36 AM] Robyn Starbrook: I agree Hosters should have to register and be identified also have a level of technical expertise<br />
[11:36 AM] ladyjo martin: i came here from sl<br />
[11:36 AM] Lyynn Lavender: i was donating 10 a month and will do so again when comes back on line<br />
[11:36 AM] Deanna Janus: FOR EVER OSGRID!<br />
[11:36 AM] Matilda Charron: well there still be games held? and poem? and event plaza?<br />
[11:37 AM] Jupiter Rowland: I guess the Plazas won't go anywhere. I hope.<br />
[11:37 AM] Poppy Fields: a grid without self hosting is not a grid. its a closed world<br />
[11:37 AM] sarah kline: i think life will continue after...thats the idea<br />
[11:37 AM] Caro Fayray: also by participating in the auction that will help the osg funds<br />
[11:37 AM] albertlr Landar: YEs, all the plazas you now use will be back and the dances and parties, everything that you now enjoy.<br />
[11:37 AM] eva Nowicka: indeed, Poppy<br />
[11:37 AM] ladyjo martin: woooohoooooo<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: :D<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Not true Poppy :)<br />
[11:38 AM] cilla teebrook: Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Orion Gizmo: did you really take 15 years to get images to show on a wiki?<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: THATS ALBERTLR!!<br />
[11:38 AM] Sherree Parx: donations and auctions from last meeting not covering cost of the grid<br />
[11:38 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Good, that means all the rare goodies at Wright will remain!<br />
[11:38 AM] Matilda Charron: Ohhhh Woooow!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: sl is a closed world<br />
[11:38 AM] Deanna Janus: VIVA OSGRID!<br />
[11:38 AM] Caro Fayray: thst different<br />
[11:38 AM] Goldvald Enoch: So how do people get their inventory back, if they cannot upload IAR? I think there is a problem there. Either we allow them in a slim time-window, or we request they do it on another grid, or similar. The evil person will bee able to use that window, so the best solution seems to be not to allow it at all?<br />
[11:38 AM] Unadecal Masala: Sorry Albertl, in the noise I missed the answer. Will avatar accounts be preserved like last time?<br />
[11:38 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Indeed Caro<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: my opinion tho this all :<br />
[11:38 AM] Crazy Onasis: From the very beginning, it was all about the money—which I can certainly understand, given that everything has become more expensive—but to mislead people here like this... first with the "1-dollar model" involving the S3s—which was actually a good idea—and then, suddenly, a "hacker" enters the picture. I find these tactics highly questionable. Why didn't the OS Grid team just tell the truth from the start?<br />
[11:38 AM] Koni Lanzius: yeah, just five bucks a month will make a hella difference in keeping the grid going<br />
[11:39 AM] Crazy Onasis: this makes angry and sad in one<br />
[11:39 AM] Rique Giano: If you want your inventory, place all in boxes on a region and save the oar file<br />
[11:39 AM] albertlr Landar: Yes, avatar accounts will be preserved.<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: well crazy most ppl believe in theri admins and trust they rt ell t het reuth<br />
[11:39 AM] Caro Fayray: if u dont then go somewhere else<br />
[11:40 AM] Crazy Onasis: they told us other at last meeting thats the point<br />
[11:40 AM] AMV-T: Crazy Onasis[de→en]: they told us others at last meeting that's the point<br />
[11:40 AM] LaBeBa SoLaRis: oops<br />
[11:40 AM] Miela Ronas: they contradict themselves and got caught lieing<br />
[11:40 AM] Matilda Charron: will the website still be the same or a new website?<br />
[11:40 AM] Jojo Tross: are all new registrations still closed then? Are we the last of a dying breed?<br />
[11:40 AM] Cueball White: So what would be the process in becoming a hoster? I've been running regions here for nearly 18 years and would love to continue<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: if u havean ax in another grid give boxed stuff to her<br />
[11:40 AM] Caro Fayray: av not ax<br />
[11:40 AM] albertlr Landar: We have been running the longest opensim Grid, while other have closed and faled. We do not intend to close.<br />
[11:40 AM] Cherry Manga: at least I got an answer, ty John! About corrupted inventories, I had no idea how to see it... John told me: "the corrupted inventory... you'll know it when you see it... things labeled VERY weird... like claiming to be body parts but labeled sweater_dresser"<br />
[11:40 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = OVH or Contabo or Hetzner or the like.<br />
[11:40 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: what is the best ongoing source for contact and application for hoster?<br />
[11:41 AM] Matilda Charron: lol caro<br />
[11:41 AM] Koni Lanzius: We've had everything free here for 19 years while the admins spend their time with no compensation, they are just asking for some help. Rverything is way more expensive in this day and age<br />
[11:41 AM] Rique Giano: Why dont you tell the people , how much it cost to run osgrid, then they have an idea , as i think some people here do not have a clue, how much all cost<br />
[11:41 AM] Jupiter Rowland: "Hoster" = they've got big data centres.<br />
[11:41 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Crazy: If you set up a grid using the current OSG model, there is a very high probability that bad actors will destroy the grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: We are giving everyone the chanch to save their inventorius and oars, you have to Dec. 20th. That is the responsbile thing to do, and we always do that. Can you say that about other grid.<br />
[11:41 AM] orbert tatham is Online<br />
[11:41 AM] albertlr Landar: Sorry Dec. 30th<br />
[11:41 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: you guys are outstanding<br />
[11:42 AM] Poppy Fields: "everybody make an IAR ready for the return. but you won't be able to upload it because there is no hosting"<br />
[11:42 AM] Michael Timeless: Better than many of the other grids. I've seen so many of them fail the last 20+ years<br />
[11:42 AM] Pat carda: osg ouvrira quand en 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] TR: Pat carda (EN): when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] AMV-T: Pat carda[fr→en]: when will osg open in 2027?<br />
[11:42 AM] Jupiter Rowland: Better do it as early as possible instead of everyone piling upon the admins last minute!<br />
[11:42 AM] Crazy Onasis: The OS Grid team has now lost all credibility because they didn't speak plainly from the very beginning—that is the crux of the matter, as I personally see it.<br />
[11:42 AM] Caro Fayray: so forget iars...stash boxes on sims for OAR or give ti a nother av<br />
[11:42 AM] quaezar Agnomen: Naturally, maintaining the infrastructure costs money. But the issue here is something else: the security of the grid and ensuring its continued existence.<br />
[11:42 AM] Sherree Parx: what if you stoand alone like me<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: but i use proper page for the sorce to connect to os grid<br />
[11:43 AM] azrael azra: good point Poppy... so we make an IAR as we self host.. but when you come back OSGRID 2027 we can't self host... so???????<br />
[11:43 AM] Unadecal Masala: Ferria, a hoster will be someone who can host regions in bulk for other people you can't become a hoster just by having your own region here<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: most grids dont allow IARS just oA<br />
[11:43 AM] albertlr Landar: last time we did a reset I backup and if neeed restored about 24 avatar inventories. I can help you agian is you email me at lrobers@osgrid.org. I can not guarantee I can help everyone one, but it will be a first come first serve basis.<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: ioars<br />
[11:43 AM] Arcstrider Wind: so when osgrid comes back will it be able to let people from the hypergrid visit<br />
[11:43 AM] Caro Fayray: OARS<br />
[11:43 AM] Sherree Parx: i only host my one which one<br />
[11:44 AM] Ferria Trebuchet: so i must keep a grid server?<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: same here<br />
[11:44 AM] Sherree Parx: just for me<br />
[11:44 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: have CC will park<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: those with regions have their own consoles they can use back up their inventoris and oars.<br />
[11:44 AM] albertlr Landar: If you are with a hoster, ask them to do it for you.<br />
[11:45 AM] Thaliak Erratum: Box your inventory, put the boxes in your suitcase, brin' 'em to your other self on another grid<br />
[11:45 AM] Poppy Fields: but Albertir, what use is an iar if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:45 AM] Cherry Manga: I am with Poppy, I don't get it<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: yes thaliak<br />
[11:45 AM] albertlr Landar: Its the homestaders that need our help and our Plaza homesteaders will get out most attention.<br />
[11:45 AM] Jan Vlees: can the self hosted regions connect to osgrid, like with Neverworld?<br />
[11:45 AM] sarah kline: just keep what you really need and trash the stuff you never rezz<br />
[11:45 AM] Joshua 7: you can upload an IAR by using DREAMGRID free...through a home server or hosted server<br />
[11:45 AM] Caro Fayray: lol sarah<br />
[11:46 AM] Sylvia Sonoda: People who know me/trust me can also ask me to save thier IAR for them. You do not have to be a Swondo renter for that.<br />
[11:46 AM] azrael azra: also what use is an OAR if you can't upload it?<br />
[11:46 AM] albertlr Landar: Ok if there are no more qustions then I will end this meeting and you can contineu to chat.<br />
[11:46 AM] Caro Fayray: several grids allow OARS but not IARS<br />
[11:46 AM] Lyynn Lavender: ty dan and albert<br />
[11:46 AM] dan banner: thanks for your attencance and patience<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: An oar you can save<br />
[11:46 AM] Rique Giano: and you ask to the person where u go to upload it<br />
[11:46 AM] eaglefx Binder: Would it not just be easier to fix the problem makers instead? and close those holes?<br />
[11:46 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: Whatt is the avg. size of an OAR / IAR ?<br />
[11:46 AM] ladyjo martin: i need to know when osgrid comes back can una put my sims back<br />

[11:47 AM] Cherry Manga: well, there are tones of questions, maybe you can create a faq or something clear on website?<br />
[11:47 AM] Rique Giano: And if there are objects broken en you place it on a region and make an oarfile, those objects wont rezz<br />
[11:47 AM] Valentine MichaelSmith: Q: can I d/l my OAR IAR onto a cloud until I find a place to land<br />

To the Management and residents of OSgrid Inc.<br />
I, the undersigned, Paela ARGUS (Umberrock 404), hereby formally announce my resignation, effective immediately and without notice, from my position and all involvement with OSgrid Inc.<br />
This decision is due to serious health issues that require me to focus on my personal well-being, as well as a diminished interest in continuing my involvement with the OSgrid project.<br />
After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to end my participation in the project permanently.<br />
I thank you for the experiences and interactions I have had during my involvement, and I ask that you acknowledge this resignation as effective immediately.<br />
I wish OSgrid Inc. and all its members the very best for the future.<br />

<br />
You can donate your lindens to OSgrid on Second Life by giving to the avatar OSgridInc Resident, or teleport to The OSgrid Embassy on Shoremel (242,239,35) and Right click on the rotating donation barrel.<br />
<br />
Why donate to OSgrid?<br />
<br />
If you’ve ever played in Second Life, the virtual social world, then you probably are aware of how wonderfully therapeutic it is to be in that world. You can make friends from all over the world, you can attend so many types of social events, you can create content, start organizations in world, dance and even fly!<br />
<br />
If you are in a wheelchair, you can be a dancer, if you are shy you can meet new friends easily. You can walk around as a dinosaur, a unicorn or a fairy. You can own yachts, jet planes, space ships! You can dress up in gorgeous clothes and avatars, even role play as a member of a ancient society or a historical one. Educators use the virtual worlds to teach and even to offer virtual graduation ceremonies https://archive.org/details/UHLTECGRAD2018final_201805 Virtual social worlds are a god send to people who are isolated from society in real life. <br />
<br />
Virtual Social worlds like Second Life or Inworldz charge to rent space to create your dream home, and it costs money for everything you need.<br />
<br />
Open Sim Grid is completely free. The developers that created Open Sim Grid wanted to ensure that those who could not afford the land fees and materials costs of the other grids had a place where they could log in and have all those things. There have been many over the years who have tried to insist that Open Sim Grid become a economy based grid (one that charges you for everything) but the developers have stood fast, refusing to charge. <br />
<br />
Because of their basic generosity, the grid relies on donations to keep the servers running, the grid operating system safe, and up to speed. They donate their time to admin the grid for free. But, the servers are aging and they need to be replaced with newer hardware. That is why we are asking for your donation today, without the kind support of people like you, the grid cannot go on. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating to Open Sim Grid, for the sake of those who’s life is made brighter by this virtual world, but who cannot afford the other grids. A one time donation would be greatly appreciated, but a monthly donation of just five or ten dollars a month would ensure a dependable income to cover the hardware expenses. Thank you so much!</div>
