+====== What is Opensimulator? ======
+OpenSimulator, often abbreviated as OpenSim, is an open source virtual world system, sharing much of its technology with Second Life from Linden Labs.
+Unlike other systems such as VRChat, IMVU and many others, it permits a continuous virtual world instead of isolated instances only.
+Also unlike many other systems, it is modular in almost every aspect of its design.
+A technologically more advanced platform with roughly comparable functions to OpenSim is [[http://www.overte.org|Overte]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUpMzKHlgCg|1]], which we are still looking in to.. \\
+But let's point you to some visual media on Youtube:\\

 ====== Shorks' Decision to Shift Support Away from Second Life ======
-Encountering one day a situation where we needed assistance, we were met with dismissal and a refusal to validate assumptions against the real world. This perceived lack of accountability included unwarranted permabans issued without warning, explanation, or recourse, even on the first instance of trouble. We find this counterproductive.

 It appears that Second Life's default approach to challenges involves swift permabans, perhaps influenced by past decisions that led to complex situations for the parent company. While we understand the legal constraints, such an approach seems to prioritize suspicion-based actions over comprehensive issue resolution, a strategy successfully implemented by the Kitely Grid in OpenSim. This shift has transformed Second Life from the supportive platform of the past into just another social media outlet primarily concerned with shareholder satisfaction or a good standing with  more and more radicalized "conservative" groups.
