Island Oasis Meeting
Posted November 25, 2012
Over the weekend the Owners of Island Oasis held a meeting and invited residents to attend. The purpose of the meeting was to address allegations and rumors that have surfaced. While sensationalism and rumors tend to get readers and attention, the validity of the content of those allegations and rumors needed to be addressed with publicly stating the truth.
One thing you will not see is the owners nor Staff of Island Oasis LLC ever doing is putting down others individually nor other grids on their own sites or other third party sites. It's simply a practice in ethics that the Staff holds dearly to. It is not to gain any fans, but instead it is a direct part of the sense of ethics that the Island Oasis LLC business operates under.
It is very uncommon for any grid owner to even bother addressing rumors, let alone rumors publicly stated on third party sites by a Staff member of a another grid, however the Owners of Island Oasis have always thought of their grid as a community and will continue to, so it is for the benefit of the residents that the meeting was held.
Here are the topics that were covered if you happened to have missed the meeting:
Rumor stated as fact: A resident of the Island Oasis Grid was banned due to merely speaking of or discussing another grid with other residents here- FALSE.
Island Oasis realizes that many of its members have a presence in a myriad of virtual worlds. Discussing other grids never has been frowned on nor looked down on. The stance Island Oasis has is requesting its Staff members NOT to speak negatively of other grids especially since we have so many positive things we can speak on behalf of our grid. We do not need to attempt to put Island Oasis up on a pedestal by putting other grids down.
Island Oasis will not stand for Staff of other grids bribing land owning members to leave their land holdings here in Island Oasis with promises of free land for life and other perks on another grid. It is one thing to say "have you considered expanding your current client base by joining another grid?" its entirely a different thing to bribe land holding members to leave their land. Island Oasis Owners do not go by he-said/she-said rumors and only considers what they have proof of, which in this case they do have proof of this practice.
Also, during the meeting, a change in the TOS was publicly addressed. Damean Paolino has stated that recently the TOS was changed since he hadn't fathomed that this behavior would ever be a problem and has changed the TOS accordingly to address this sort of practice.
Rumor stated as fact: Island Oasis had coerced the owner of Damselfly hair to come to Island Oasis with the promise of free land-FALSE
Back in January 2011 a conversation was had between the Owners of the Island Oasis (RL couple known as Sugar and Damean Paolino) where Sugar had stated if Damselfly ever comes to Island Oasis she would give them land just so she could have her favorite hair, that she has always worn on another grid. Time passes. Approximately a year and a half and Damselfly owner comes to Island Oasis and opens his hair store. It was only after the owner of Damselfly joined that the Owners of Island Oasis became aware of their presence here on the grid. Recalling her previous conversation approximately a year and a half ago, Sugar asked to meet with the owner of the Damselfly business and did exactly as she has stated she would and she offered him land so that she could have all her favorite hairs here in Island Oasis.
Damselfly was not solicited to come here under the guise of free land offered by staff. What Island Oasis does offer is tier free stores and tier free residential land to ALL residents. There are certain guidelines such as prim limits, but these 2 types of free land are offered to ALL residents and always on a first come first serve basis.
Rumor stated as fact: Sugar Paolino is close friends with Intellectual Property Pirates - FALSE
A resident here on Island Oasis was having an issue with her profile, more specifically with the Picks tab of her profile. Her pictures wouldn't stay. This resident has asked for help. Sugar asked the resident with the problem to teleport her. Sugar was teleported by the resident. Sugar then tried to recreate the issue in her own profile that the resident was having. In attempting to recreate the problem she clicked to save the location where she has just been teleported to her profile Picks. When the resident did the same and tried it and again she was not able to save it to her profile. Since Sugar could not recreate the problem the resident was having, Damean Paolino was brought in to fix the problem, which he was successful in fixing the persons profile so that she could save picks into her profile. Sugar was helping a resident and simply forgot to take the location out of her profile picks.
Later as time passes, several weeks, a DMCA was filed and the accused had a store that was the location where Sugar had weeks earlier attempted to help the aforementioned resident and had forgotten to take the location out of her profile. The assumption was made that Sugar was close friends with the accused when in reality Sugar has never been friends accused party.
Island Oasis releases the following public statement: We have always stood by our integrity, our ethics and the way we have run our business. We have stood our ground will not waiver, be bullied and will never show favoritism and encourage a fair and level playing field to all. Further perpetuation of gossip is a disservice to everyone so if there is a need to discuss these issues please direct all comments and questions to Paolinos.
As a result of these "Rumors stated as Fact" things have escalated to the point where Island Oasis is now in discussions with their attorney.

A very Special thank you goes out to the residents who have donated items to the Freebie Mall. Your generosity is very much appreciated!
• Avianna Woodsinger
• Diesel Core
• F4 Forzane
• MsVelvetVoice Viper
If anyone else would like to provide items to the Freebie Mall make sure you have the item boxed, scripts set to not running, and the permissions of the contents set exactly how you would like resident to receive the item. That way we can set your box out exactly as you have prepared it. You can pass items for the Freebie Mall to Sugar, Gemini or Alysin Paolino.
Our goal is to have the items at the Freebie Mall be representative of the creation of the residents here in IO. Its a great way for Merchants to get their store name out there and to provide a LM in your boxed item(s) that can lead residents direct to your in-world location. As we receive more donated items, and the content begins to fill up the store spaces at the Mall, we will start eliminating the older items that IO has provided.

New Function for Sim Owners
Posted Sunday November 11, 2012
Island Oasis is making a bold move and putting more power in the hands of its land owning residents. In the near future sim owners will now be able to save their OAR file and rollback their region to a previous version of their sim should they have issues (approx 7-14 days). When this new function is available we will announce it once again to the residents of Island Oasis. Being able to rollback your region should help deal with various sim performance issue you may have if you have inadvertently run too many scripts which may cause a sim crash, missing items on a sim, problems with newly terraformed land and more. In the event that something accidentally happens to your sim or you get griefed.
Look at a region "rollback" as a way to restore your sim to a previous pinpoint in time. When you save the OAR file of your region, it will save your region exactly as it is that instance in time. Think of it as a "snapshot" of your region and all contents there. After you have you saved the "snapshot" of your region you are now able to rollback to that specific "snapshot" should you need to.
For example: You save the region file on Thursday when you are having no issues. Two days time pass and its now Saturday and you have an issue with your region. You now have the ability to rollback your sim to that previous pinpoint in time of Thursday when you had no issues.
Now keep in mind that if you rezz new items on Friday night then you rollback your sim to your saved point on Thursday, the items rezzed on Friday will not be there in the rollback since they did not exist on your sim on Thursday when the file was saved. The rollback is exactly to the previous point in time when you saved it.
