I got to know Opensim(ulator) for the first time in 2011. at that time I couldn't do anything about it and stared like a calf at the new garden gate. Since then, it has had its ups and downs with localhost, HG and private grid. Until I understood, that the best to do is to be in OSGrid.Found out that previously I had done the account there so used that.
At OSGrid, my knowledge of Opensim improved significantly, especially after meeting Ubit Umarov (Opensim core developer). He clarified what kind of platform Opensim is, its capabilities, and its challenges. Since then, I have not needed any guidance and could set up my own grid at any time. However,
I find OSGrid to be the best grid for me
At OSGrid I have my friends,some, true, are at HG. The time spent with friends at OSGrid has been fun, educational and peaceful. so i have no plans to move elswhere any time soon.
