"Slink is gone! Decadence-HG is legal now!1!!"
So the famous #SecondLife mesh body creator Slink shut down today, practically from one minute to the next. If you still have a Slink body, it won't be supported anymore. That is, if you still have a Slink body, your whole avatar is outdated several times over in a virtual world where you're halfway expected to sink thousands of Linden dollars into a new body, a new head, new hair, a new skin and all-new clothes twice a year because you're ugly otherwise.
Let's see what'll happen once this gets known around #OpenSimulator.
On the one hand, I can already hear people all over the #OpenSim community say that Adonis, Decadence-HG and BBHG are "legal" now. (No, they aren't. Legality doesn't depend on whether or not there's someone who can DMCA the living hell out of you. And many don't care whether something is legal or not.)
On the other hand, I think the only ones who might care are those who haven't caught wind of the several more recent Second Life payware mesh bodies that have found their ways onto the #Hypergrid over the last few months, including two bodies that are every bit as exaggerated as Slink Physique Hourglass. Everyone who has will see the bodies from the 2010s as old ugly crap.
Usually, these bodies aren't being renamed anymore and are offered under their Second Life names unless whoever offers them wants to imply they've created these bodies themselves. With one exception which is offered full-perm, they're all offered no-transfer and exclusively from one grid.
Either agreements with the original creators have actually been made with no-transfer being a requirement. However, if this is the case, why does literally nobody inform their customers about it? Besides, I've got my doubts that the makers of the currently most popular several-thousand-Linden-dollar mesh bodies let people offer just these bodies as freebies elsewhere, knowing pretty well how easily no-transfer can be circumvented in OpenSim.
Or it's just like it has always been since at least 2019: Freebie sim owners and grid owners along with them want to boost the popularity of their own places by stealing the newest, hottest premium luxury stuff from Second Life and offering it exclusively. Whoever wants that stuff has to come to their grid and their sim and their freebie store to pick it up. At least until someone god-modes their no-transfer products into full-perm or copybots their stores wholesale and then slaps their boxes against their own store walls.#Metaverse #VirtualWorlds

Apparently Slink is closing.
Like, now.
Feels like they kind of started the Mesh Body craze a bit but fell behind in popularity.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the closure of Slink, One Bad Pixel and Cinnamon&Chai in Second Life. Second Life has been an all-consuming part of my Real …Slink Style

•Well, then I dare you to tell Shin Ingen, Ada Radius, Serie Sumei etc. and the current maintainer @Austin Tate straight into their faces that the #Ruth2 v4 and #Roth2 v2 mesh bodies are stolen from Second Life and not created by them, and that the bodies are unscripted because nobody in OpenSim can script.
By the way,... show more
Well, then I dare you to tell Shin Ingen, Ada Radius, Serie Sumei etc. and the current maintainer @Austin Tate straight into their faces that the #Ruth2 v4 and #Roth2 v2 mesh bodies are stolen from Second Life and not created by them, and that the bodies are unscripted because nobody in OpenSim can script.
By the way, here is the public source repository for Ruth2, and here is the one for Roth2. Even if these links make you snap into your "dumb blonde" "I don't understand what any of this is, so I'll just pretend it isn't there and ignore it" mode.
I'd like you to tell @Sean Heavy ✅🤙🏻☯🏳️🌈 straight into his face that his mesh bodies #RuthToo and #RothToo, forked from Ruth2 and Roth2, are stolen from Second Life, too, because he can impossibly have done any work on them.
I dare you to tell @Hyacinth 🏳️⚧️ ☮️ straight into her face that her fork #LuvMyBod and her mesh clothes are stolen from Second Life because she can impossibly have worked on any of it herself, because she doesn't even know how.
I dare you to accuse @vrsimility of having stolen everything on his historic Liverpool sims from Second Life down to the buildings.
I dare you to haul your avatar to GridTalk tomorrow, Tuesday, January 3rd, 11 AM grid time which is 8:00 PM CET. Alternatively, Nihilon, Friday, January 6th, same time. Wait for Klarabella Karamell to show up. And when she's there, accuse her in public in front of all the other guests, including the grid owners and her husband, of having no skills, never having created a single piece of mesh clothing and having copybotted them all from Second Life instead. While you're there, accuse Anachron Young of having copybotted the Rockhouse building from Second Life.
And I dare you to return to OpenSimWorld and tell Aaack Aardvark and Bibiana Bombinante that they're both unskilled, talentless hacks who have copybotted everything on their sims from Second Life and who couldn't write scripts to save their lives.
While you're back at OpenSimWorld, claim to everyone, site creator and admin Satyr Aeon included, that even the OpenSimWorld beacon was stolen from Second Life, script included, because a) nothing has ever been created in OpenSim, and b) Satyr isn't even capable of creating anything like this.
What do you have to lose, Cheryl? Why should you chicken out now? You know for a fact that you're right, that literally everything in OpenSim without an exception is copybotted from Second Life with crappy scripts or none at all!
Oh, and concerning only 200 OpenSim users worldwide: Hypergrid Business has a list of active OpenSim grids. 407 grids. All with links that you can click. You'll see that just about every last one of them is alive. Click on them, and you'll see that none of them is fake.
I ask you, Cheryl: Who runs these grids? If there are only 200 OpenSim users worldwide, everyone of them has to run two grids on average. How many grids do you run, Cheryl? And why should someone run more than one grid?
@The Aether Dragon Ignore her. She's a clueless loudmouth that just about nobody in the OpenSim community takes seriously anymore, probably not even her in-world BDSM sugardaddy.
When she had been in OpenSim for only two measly months, she was already Little Miss Know-It-All who knew everything, absolutely everything better than people who had been there for several years already, and she told them all that they're all wrong, and she is the only one who knows stuff for a fact.
If you present her any proof against her theories, she'll either claim it's fabricated and falsified, and that's a fact, or if she can't because the proof is too solid, she'll turn into a "dumb blonde" who doesn't understand jack shit. Either way, even the most solid proof is useless against her because she ignores it all.
She has grown a hard resistance against learning anything. She thinks she knows doesn't have to learn because she already knows everything, and it's her task to educate the masses that have spent their many years in OpenSim entirely uneducated.
Apart from OpenSim and recently #ThirdRoom, her world only consists of her in-world BDSM sugardaddy, BDSM in general, three musical genres, her Apple MacBook Air and BDSM-modded Resident Evil 2.

•sometimes I thought you and copper are the same to get some discussions in opensim and sense in online life. 😃
Sorry but I am not online in Opensim anymore. Was long enough there to see what's going on and learned a lot as dumb blond.
When I came to Opensim I was first impressed and thought there must be all the nerds. But you are all old retro people from pacman times without skills for new technology.
I wish you good luck and be happy in your online world.

•It is open source decentralized metaverse just used with internet browser with 60 fps for every cheap computer to use. If you want the VRM Avi with such quality of skin just alone you will have complexity of 2 Mio in firestorm. Much too much for Firestorm using. Graphic card would need 250 Watt

•I'm not sure if it comes with the standard installation, or if it has to be installed separately. It has been a while since I've run my own instance.
