I am going to throw balls again;-)

I see the website of Open Sim World is not friendly for opensim-users anymore, since they have a strict mandate to pay for your uploads.
Which users don't want, so they are left to use the chats or just use it as a tool to find info about grids and regions.

In my opinion this is a great lost and it makes me wonder why there is nobody who is standing up and make a similar website, with the original Open Sim mentality.

The owner of OSW has deff the SL-mentality, where everyone have to pay for everything.
I.m.o. he chooses the wrong path.
What you see nowadays, is that Events only are publishing and many users are gone and using other social media platforms.

The template they use and the idea around OSW is a very good one, since it connects OS-users, which has great efforts.
Now I wonder, why is there not anyone around OS who makes such a similar website, but with the old school mentality that every user should be able to connect and publish for free?

One can make ristrictions ofcourse, to manage the data, but it would be a great succes if you communicate it smart.
But here's the creative mind speaking and not a scripter; " Is it not possible to tweak a simple script, which points to the website?".
It's like monopoly, where just one guy, who seems to be the smartest guy of the classroom who owns the whole project.
I really believe it can be done, if people are aware and eager to setup such.
Question is who and when?

Some important changes will be made to the general grid policy Craft-World!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Tests on the upgrade version of OpenSim for Craft-World will begin shortly.
During the upgrade, some important changes will be made to the general grid policy, of which I would like to anticipate some important points:
- 'God power' or 'Admin Status' will no longer be granted in rented regions of general use in order to avoid more and more frequent abuses on the intellectual property of other users. These powers will be maintained in the protected educational regions.
- Only qualified persons / organizations will be allowed to connect to the grid as a third party. Who is in grid now can remain.
- Access to hypergrid will only be given to grids with certain characteristics: those which have terms of service and information consistent with ours and which are managed by subjects who are also recognizable from a legal point of view. The standalones, with particular exceptions, will be excluded. Before adopting this last measure, a list of allowed grids will be made which will be the subject of internal discussion at Craft-World. Upon implementation of this measure, the acceptance of the information and terms of service that hypergrid visitors receive at the first attempt to enter Craft-World will be removed.
