Even if it worked, it might not be safe because visitors *might* be able to use arbitrary code. If it is ever available again, use it at your own risk or only in regions where no others have access.

 LSLv2 is the well known Second Life scripting language. It is basically a C#/Java-like language.
-The majority of ll-functions has been implemented and it is possible to make usable scripts comparable to SL.
+The majority of ll-functions have been implemented and it is possible to make usable scripts comparable to SL.
 Although LSL (including OSSL and Mod* functions where enabled) is the default, if for any reason you want to ensure that the compiler treats your script as LSL you should have "//lsl" in a comment in the first line of the script. For a particular script engine, you can also specify //XEngine:lsl or //YEngine:lsl (caution: YEngine is still considered experimental in OpenSim 0.9.1.0 "Snail" release!)

 Although it is VB.Net the behaviour is much like LSL in the sense that you still use ll-functions like llSay(), and still use the same events as in LSL.<br />
