[Opensim-users] Sim size limits

[Sarge Misfit]

Just butting in with the info that AuroraSim has such a feature called
variable region. AuroraSim is a fork from OpenSim, and is almost fully
compatible, that is you can use OpenSim content in AuroraSim. They also
have something called infinite regions that allows you to travel through
the "no-man's-land- between regions.

And I would LOVE to see those in OpenSim!
