More News Later

 

 
Yours truly has been busy, and wasn't able to finish writing something before the need for sleep took over (or maybe was busy to the point he couldn't start). 
 
We'll have something up soon once we have a chance to pick up our pens and finish.

Club Furbidden Closing (For Now)

 

Sad news for fans of the Furbidden Club. On Sunday September 13, it was revealed there was an announcement by owner Skitty (XxwildskittlesxX Resident), saying the club would be closing. 
 
Unfortunately due to my recent health issues and tight margins I have sadly decided to pull the plug on Furbidden for a moment to take care of my health and RL more because it is critical to my survival. I will be continuing to support our community and also helping Fluff & Stuff more. The costs of land are just too much for me at the current moment but I plan to create more fun experiences to share with you and I love and support you all so much. We have about 3 weeks left :c.
 
Talking to Skitty, she would say this isn't the end of her in Second Life, "will be okie and still gonna party and do fun things! ...  I am not done with SL just need to work with my health." She went on to say this also isn't the end of her having a place to play music, "I do plan to downsize and still do music in the same way here that I have, just without spending for a sim ... 
 
"This is still something that was going to occur but I am not really stopping what I do here and want to emphasize that, if people want to put the art I made above the community itself that's on them but we're all still here and will be in a club more than likely. If there is suddenly a demand for an entire region of all the things in one space I'll consider it. But I don't think people want that much from SL most of the time. But with my health concerns I want to address that and take a break to enjoy SL more. Get my spark back ... "
 
The description of the place is, "Furbidden is a immersive club and hangout experience for the furry and music lover community on SL!  Enjoy a magical forest environment with many activities to do as well as live mix DJs and sensual areas." The sim, which has the same name, is rated Adult. The place had a number of events every week, including DJ Tantari whom had been playing each Sunday.

Trans-Sansara Causeway Completed

 

For those who have been waiting and waiting to drive through the whole length of the Trans-Sansara Causeway, good news.  On Friday September 18, the Lindens and Moles added the last sections in the Thetis, Aptos, Tomales, and Swanton sims, finally completing the roadway going from the Luna to Mavericks. 
 
Some extra effort was done on Aptos Island. Besides the road, there was a rest stop added.  It was a large parking lot with an off ramp into the water for people to rezz boats. The place was well-detailed with the rocks and the trees. 
 
Between Tomales and Swanton, there was a metal-arch bridge.  As with the others, one could drive across it, or walk. 
 
From what I've heard, there was a small ceremony just after noon on Friday, with the gates opened and with Kit and Wendi Linden present, with some residents of Bay City.  Some would start driving right away or soon after. On Bay City Discord, Tish Coronet stated she could get from "Langdale to Truro, without racing, 35-40 minutes."
 
 

There would also be a video of the opening (by Bay City Studios). 
 
And so after about a month and a half, the Trans-Sansara Project is finished. And those with cars are free to go for a spin. But if you're a heavy lagger, be careful about going too fast when approaching a sim boundary.

My VRChat Avatar

 

 I haven't had much time to write about Second Life's notable competition, VRChat. Still, I go there once in a while. For a time, I was going about in a starter avatar. Then my friend Mattie Carlton got me this fox avatar, a small fox with a huge swishing tail. While it may not have a fedora and overcoat, it still allows me to be foxy over there as well.

Firestorm Aniversary Party, And Gifts

 

On Saturday, September 12, Team Firestorm would hold an anniversary party, it's sixteenth. Their actual anniversary of when they were founded as Team Phoenix in 2010 was on Thursday September 3. But they moved it to the weekend after Labor Day so more people could celebrate.
 
Firestorm is turning 16 this week! Our actual birthday was on September 3, but we want to celebrate BIG TIME, and we want you to join us. That is why we are moving our party to the weekend… Saturday September 12. Yes, we will have a party. And yes, there will be gifts – four really nice ones. There will also be some amazing entertainment. There is only one more thing we need – you! Please join us.
 
The fun started at 12 with the popular SL singer Maxamillion Kleene. At 1PM, singer Tally Mercury took his place. From 2 to about 3 SL time came DJ Trick. To make sure more people could enjoy the fun, the party took place at the intersection of four sims.  Beq Janus, the Project Manager since founder Jessica Lyon stepped down in January 2024, was there with the partiers. So was Pantera Północy, noted for filming Linden events such as monthly Concierge & Land User Group meet-ups. 
 
There was a lot of fun to be had, with lots of people in avatars of all kinds dancing away to the music.
 
And as always, Team Firestorm had some presents available for those attending.  One was "a bohemian inspired" bedroom set, which had a spacious bed along with a nightstand and lamp. It was described as "legacy and PBR textures applied," as well as having single and couples animations (I didn't check to see if any were clearly for behind closed doors). There was also a post with a set of birdhouses, with a weathered rustic look. 
 
There was also a a fiery pawed cougar from Wild Kajaera. It's a forever pet which needs no food but can't breed either. One can make it breedable, for a fee, but it will then need food every so often. And finally, there was the KittiCatS collectable kitty. They had another for it's third anniversary, a red one. This one was different, black with flames of a different shade of red. When it's new, you can place it on your shoulder if you know where to click. 
 
If you're interested, the gifts are still available. But they won't be up forever. So if you haven't yet, check them out. - https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Firestorm%20Ghost%20Town/14/240/3903 
 
Happy anniversary Team Firestorm.

Cartoon of The Day: "Pullin' Me Leg"



Taken at the Montecito Bay "Talk Like A Pirate Day" party. The hostess was dressed as a buccaneer with a peg leg. The expression "pulling your leg" might take on a whole new meaning with someone with that.

New Last Names In Second Life

 
 
 
Happy Autumn! Thank you to everyone who continues to submit ideas through our Last Name Suggestion Form. We always choose new last names from Resident suggestions, and today we're refreshing the available list with another batch of community-submitted favorites.
 
The new names are a variety. A few autumn inspired, others not much to do with the season: Viridian, Fierce, Danger, Otter, Meow, Peach, Lark, Autumn, Oak. Willow, Cinnamon, Charm, Sunrise, Silverwood, Briar, Butterfly.
 

It should be noted Linden Lab typically offers new last names for Halloween, which is in a few weeks. So if you're interested in picking one of these surnames, you may want to do it soon as that name may be gone for good when the spooky season arrives. 
 
As a reminder, changing one's last name has some catches, notably it's not for free but has a fee, $49,99 USD for those with a free account. Check the FAQ page (here).

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: A Home 9/11 Memorial

 

From Achilles Audion last week, whom did his own tribute to the 9/11 anniversary, "Set up a memorial for the day on my land. (It's_ not (in) Belli, but you're my people so I'm sharing."
 

In Brief

 
There's a lot going on, and just a little time at the moment to write about it. So here's the short version of a few top stories. 
 
There was an announcement this Sunday from Club Furbidden that the club would be closing. Skitty (XxwildskittlesxX Resident) stated there would be about three weeks of events left. 
 
On Saturday September 12, Team Firestorm would hold it's anniversary party, it's 16th. There were three hours of music, plus gifts people can still head over and grab.
 
For Fantasy Faire fans who would like to visit one of the sims, good news.  Contraption, the sponsor of one of the 2025 Fantasy Faire areas, has made it's own place look like the sim at the event. 
 
More on these, and other stories, later.

Commentary: Gamer's Choice

 
Contributing writer Nydia Tungsten recently sent in an article in which she had a few choice words about some of the gaming industry's actions lately from tricking players into pre-ordering games that turn out to be different than advertised, or end up never offered, to games that are basically AI slop, to adopting a "you don't really own anything we sell you, just rent and we can cancel anytime" policy, and more. So what can gamers do about it? Nydia offers one simple answer.

Wendi Linden Speaks On The Trans-Sansara Causeway

 
There's not much new to report on the Trans-Sansara Causeway, aside that I was contacted by Wendi Linden. "I want to reach out to the appropriate Residents and Resident groups, so they have see(n) this," she told me, "I do know that the Newser has reported on this road project before in recent weeks, though, and wanted to make sure to give you a heads up that this should be complete soon." She thought it would be finished in about two weeks at most, though most likely sooner, "Some of it, particularly some of the parts we are working on offsite, should be quite a bit of fun for drivers."
 
Ultimately, the project, she stated, would go from "the Frog Road though NW Sansara to Nova Albion and Bay City."
 
Wendi Linden is with the Land Operations Team. 
 
Back at the island, not much to report other than the bulldozer moved.  But at the Whatever sims, the colorful lines have vanished. So something is going on, just away from prying eyes.
 
Stay tuned for more information.

Spoonful of Sugar Fundraiser

 

The Spoonful of Sugar Festival is going on. The event is to raise money for the "Doctors Without Borders" organization. It started Saturday Sept 12 and is going on to Sunday Sept 27. 
 
Ever Courtois would say, "It deeply pleases me to say the 2026 Spoonful of Sugar Festival will mark our 12th Anniversary and put us on task to have raised over $200,000 USD for this magnificent movement."
 
There are a few things to do at the festival. One can admire the scenery. There's also shopping one can do at various stores. There are also gacha machines to try your luck at, and raffles one can get a ticket for. And there are the music and dance parties. There is at least one every day. 
 
"Doctors Without Borders is an international independent medical humanitarian organization delivering emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries. "

Cartoon of The Day: That Shrinking Feeling

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen beach club with Nydia Tungsten. I had decided to see if my microfox avatar, made almost a decade and a half ago, still worked. It did. While it's not the smallest avatar - the Lomtech is half it's height, it handles the dance floor just fine. 
 
For those who don't know what "shrinkflation" means, it's when companies start selling goods in smaller packages, but charge the same amount as when they were in a larger package. One especially sneaky tactic is over the course of many years sell items in increasingly smaller packages. Then they introduce a "Extra Large" package at a much higher price that is really the original package before the shrinkage began.

Second Live Universe/Virtualverse Forums Founder, Cristiano Midnight, Has Died

 
Some longtime users of Second Life may remember the old Second Life Universe forums, which were the most used Internet forums dedicated mainly to Second Life outside the control of Linden Lab, that in 2018 changed over to VirtualVerse after a data crash corrupted many of the older forum's files. Both were founded and run by Cristiano Midnight. But it seems there's some sad news. He has passed away, his death on Sunday August 30.

 I'm afraid I have to announce some sad news: I'm informed that Cristiano passed away on Sunday, August 30th 2026.  I've verified this to my satisfaction though I don't have a lot of details beyond that.  You may see his account active from time to time which is family members who have access to it, so know that if you choose to send a message.  If you were close with Cristiano and people elsewhere who knew him, please spread the news. 
 
The news was posted on Virtualverse's Discord, Reddit, the Linden forums, and of course Virtualverse.  
 
The Virtualverse forums, like the Second Life Universe forums before them, were a mix of factual discussion about things and events inworld, and irreverent gabbing with memes. Sometimes interesting, occasionally funny or annoying, they were seldom boring. In 2023, the forums were down for a while following Christiano having health problems in January that year. 
 
It was posted that the Virtualverse forums have until September 20. After that they could go offline any time. There has been some desire by several posters to find a way to keep their community together. It is unclear where they will go besides the Virtualverse Discord. 
 
Rest in peace,

Sept 11 Memorials

 
 It's been twenty-five years since the 9/11 terrorism attacks on New York City's World Trade Center and the Pentagon when 19 hijackers from the Islamofascist group Al Queda seized four airliners full of passengers and ran into the buildings in suicide attacks (the fourth airline crashed near Shanksville Pennsylvania as the passengers were overpowering the terrorists). Almost three thousand were murdered, with estimates of those injured ranging from 6000 to 25,000 and citizens from a hundred countries besides the USA among those killed. In the years since, thousands have also died from health issues related to the attacks, notably the dust inhaled from the collapse from the buildings and during the search for survivors and bodies. 
 
The event was a shock to America. Major networks had 24 hour news coverage for some days. Pop culture seemed to be suspended for a few weeks. Partisan bickering, which had people screaming "Not my President" just months before, instantly became practically nonexistent as the left and right united as they faced a common and deadly enemy. Over the next several weeks, the public would face new restrictions and surveillance, such as TSA agents patting down people at airports and email being scanned for key words that would trigger attention. And overseas a war of retaliation was launched against Al Queda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. 
 

Over the years, Second Life has seen numerous memorials to the fallen. One is at Echo Group Band of Brothers at (92,250,30). This is just one of numerous memorials at this veterans area. 
 
 

Another is the Gold Haven 9-11 Memorial by Bryston Vanvlec
 
Now open year round. A Tribute I Made to Honor Those Who Lost Their Lives on September 11th, 2001.

Please come visit, say a prayer and reflect upon the tragic events that changed the world forever. Always Remember, Never Forget 9/11 and those who lost and sacrificed their lives on that day.

Thank you to those who donated and contributed to make this memorial available.
 
It should be noted that this memorial has been remodeled from how it looked in the past few years.  A second floor has been added, as some AI-assisted artwork honoring the fallen.
 
 

 High above Copperhead Road is the Flight 93 Memorial, to the passengers of the fourth plane that prevented it's hijackers from destroying another target (possibly the US Capitol Building). The Newser would have an article about it a few years ago (here). 
 
 

In the Mosh sim on the Mainland is a Twin Towers by Cedrick Brown.
"Also in memory of Rickk Shippe who passed in 2025. A good man who built a 9/11 Memorial on his land in Miramare."

 

While not exclusive to 9/11, finally there is the Memorial to The Victims of Terrorism Throughout The World.
 
 
Twenty-five years later, much has changed.  Another generation has been born and grown, and another has departed. The mastermind who organized 9/11 has long been shot dead. More terrorist attacks have happened, as well as more wars. But we still remember what happened that dreadful day.
 
"We Shall Remember."

September 11 - "A Fireman's Prayer"

 

When I am called to duty,
whenever the flames my rage,
give me strength to save some
life whatever be their age.
Help me embrace a little child
before it is too late,
or save an old person from
the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert,
and hear the weakest shout.
And quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
and give the best in me.
To guard my every neighbor,
protect his property.
And if according to my fate
I am to lose my life,
please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

9/11/01 - We will never forget

EOTB: Destination Guide Coffee Shops And LindeX Limits

 
 

 With the arrival of September has come what's become something of a modern-day fall ritual, the return of pumpkin spice coffee in cafes and grocery stores. While you won't see too many grocery stores in Second Life, there are some cafes in this virtual world. And the most recent Destination Guide Highlights were of several coffee shops, reading hangouts, and other community centers where one of the main features was talking to others while your avatar enjoys a (virtual) cup of joe, including the Pumpkin Spice Cafe (above). 
 
 
The most recent entry was titled "Trust And Safety Tuesdays," even though it was posted on a Thursday, subtitled, "LindeX Billing And Trading Limits." In short, it puts a limit on how bad the damage that could happen if your avatar gets hacked at the cost of limiting how much you can spend and sell. 

Your account tier determines your exact daily and 30-day limits across buying L$, selling L$, and processing credit transfers. These limits accommodate everyone from new Residents to large-scale business owners. From the moment you register, you are assigned a baseline tier that governs your initial allowances. Rather than forcing a single cap on every account, LindeX Limit Reviews allow Residents to increase their tiers, providing a smooth progression path whether you are purchasing your first outfit, managing land, or running a high-volume business.

Every brand-new account starts at a particularly restricted tier that will eventually progress to the first full level, but reaching it requires a Billing Age of at least 30 days. Your Billing Age is not based on your avatar's creation date. Instead, the 30-day clock only starts ticking when you make your very first transaction using real-world currency (such as USD). Spending or trading Linden dollars alone will not establish a Billing Age. Because of this, an account can exist in Second Life for years or even decades, but it will remain at the initial New Resident tier until 30 days pass following its first USD transaction.

To see what your limits are, head to the Linden Exchange portion of your profile on secondlife.com and click on "Billing/Trading Limits." If you feel yours are too small for your needs, click on "Request a review of your limits."

Announcement: HFOT "Together We Can Build More Than Homes - 9/12 at 12"

 
 ❤️ TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD MORE THAN HOMES ❤️ 

ALL BREEDABLE CHARITY AUCTION
Benefiting Homes For Our Troops
Sponsored by DARKSTAR BREEDABLES
Homes For Troops Auction
https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/River%20Alley/18/51/30
📅 SEPTEMBER 12TH • 12:00 PM SLT

Some events are about what we can collect.

This one is about what we can give.

On September 12th, we are asking our breedable families, creators, merchants, auctioneers, friends, and communities across Second Life to stand together for the men and women who sacrificed so much in service to their country.

WHY HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS?

For a severely injured Veteran, home should be the place where life feels possible—not another place filled with obstacles.

Homes For Our Troops builds and donates specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. These homes are designed around each Veteran's individual needs, helping restore something incredibly valuable:

Independence. Freedom. The ability to move forward.

Their mission doesn't end when the keys are handed over. It is about giving Veterans a foundation from which they can rebuild their lives, pursue their goals, spend time with their families, and face the future with greater independence.

❤️ NOW WE HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP.

We are asking our community to open its heart.

ALL DONATIONS ARE WELCOME.

A treasured breedable.
A rare collectible.
Something you've created.
A special auction package.
A donation from your business.

What may seem like one small item can become one more bid, one more contribution, and one more step toward something much bigger.

🐾 EVERY BREEDABLE COMMUNITY IS WELCOME.
XS Fish • Magibuns • Amaretto • WK • Nixsys • Ponies • Pigeons • and MORE!

And you don't need something to donate to be part of this.

Come bid. Come support. Bring a friend. Share the event. Fill the auction with people who care.

Because when a community comes together with one purpose, even the smallest acts of generosity can become something extraordinary.

This September 12th, we're not asking what we can get.

❤️ We're asking what we can give back. ❤️

ALL BREEDABLE CHARITY AUCTION 
📅 SEPTEMBER 12TH
⏰ NOON SLT
⭐ Sponsored by DARKSTAR BREEDABLES ⭐

One community. One afternoon. One mission.

 They served for us.
Now let's come together for them.

Veterans Fundraiser Nets Over 85,000

 
On Sunday Sept 6,  there was a benefit concert high above Veterans Isle. Organized by Frets Nirvana, the event raised money for the Homes For Our Troops charity. The event was scheduled from 1PM to about 4PM SL time. Besides DJ Vincent, live musicians Erin & Satin and Austin Moores were scheduled to perform. 
 
A total of 85,257 Linden dollars was donated to the two house-shaped kiosks on stage 
 
Veterans Isle normally has a fundraiser for the charity about once a month, normally on the first weekend of the month. The next event, baring any last minute plans for a Veterans Day concert, will be in early October.
