An update (A sale (to get my dad))

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who participated in my recent sale to help bring my dad’s remains home to me. Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for your kindness and support.

I’m incredibly relieved and thankful to share that my dad is officially with me now. This would not have been possible without you, and I appreciate it more than I can say.

Now that he’s home, my next goal is to give both my parents the dignity they deserve with proper urns. Currently, my dad’s remains are in a temporary cardboard box from the funeral home who cremated and sent him to me. To make this happen, I will be running additional sales, with all proceeds going toward securing beautiful, lasting urns for them both.

Your continued support means everything to me, and I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing community standing beside me.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💙

A sale (to get my dad)

As a lot of you already know, my dad passed away on January 31th of this year. I have convinced my sibling to allow me to have dad’s remains (he was cremated). It will cost a lot ($250 USD) to have him sent to me from Florida to Indiana so I am running a sale to get an immortal stream to raise the money. I understand that I did vault these indefinitely back in June 2023 but getting my dad back sooner than later (they can hold him for up to 3 months) is important to me. I shouldn’t have to explain but we just simply don’t have the funds because hubby got laid off for a month or so, we were reliant on savings then we got hit with the flu and he didn’t go to work for nearly 2 weeks so we are behind on everything from him being laid off then getting the flu after getting work again. I understand everyone may be in shitty financial situations and maybe this could be helpful to eliminate a bill in your life. To be transparent & clear: Long term, these do not make me anything so these are a *DEAL* to get your hands on.

Here’s the details:

  • –For new & existing customers.
  • –If you already have time on your account, it won’t be refunded/transferred/etc.
  • –For new: you can pick which plan (regular, not licenses) you wish to have as your immortal.
  • –If you have a stream, the plan you have is the plan the immortal will be attached to.
  • –If you have multiple streams you wish to be turned into immortal, you would have to pay for each one.
  • –If anything needs to be updated/changed/edited with this deal, it will be posted here as an update.
  • –You must contact me to redeem. Do not pay any vendors until you are informed to do so.
  • –This sale will end when all 5 spots have been taken. (0 remaining)
  • –Please make sure this is what you wish to purchase because there are *no refunds for any reason*.

THE PRICE:

L$15,500 in SL OR $55USD via a paypal invoice one time payment option.
(the $5 / L$500 extra is to cover paypal fees / SL transaction fees)
You must contact me to redeem.
Do not pay any vendors until you are informed to do so.
*please make sure this is what you wish to purchase because there are *no refunds for any reason*.


F.A.Q’s

(Read this section or you’ll miss important information)

*What if I don’t need/want this sale, how can I help?*

—- I appreciate that very much. I do have a tip jar piggy bank on my desk at the main office. We recently moved so here is the new SL URL in case you needed it anyway: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Melungtse/69/16/96

*What is an Immortal Stream?*

—- An Immortal stream means there will be NO further renewal fees on your stream & will never expire for as long as Hostcrate is in business. We have been around since May 4th, 2008 (we’re over 16 now!) so we are NOT one of those fly by streaming providers who are here a year & gone the next. I, Lexxi, have no plans to retire anytime soon. You’ll probably still have me around when I’m 70 and using a cane or walker to get around lol. Why? Because I love what I do 🙂

*How do I get one?*

—- Contact me directly to redeem and you’ll be given instructions, depending on your method of payment (L$ or USD)

*Can I pay in USD?*

—- Yes. You’ll be asked for an email to be invoiced to. Don’t do so until you are instructed to though.. Filing any chargebacks will result in immediate termination of your stream(s) and you’ll be banned from using our services along with my informing other reliable stream businesses of your malicious behavior.

*Can I upgrade/convert/transfer my current account?*

—- Yes. You can with this sale.  Whatever your current stream plan is will be converted to immortal. Please remember that Immortal streams cannot be upgraded to any other plan. Meaning that if you convert your VIP License budget to an Immortal Stream, it will be forever a VIP License Budget plan so it cannot be upgraded like we do with normal licenses when you just can pay the difference and get an upgrade to a license plan with space. I hope that makes sense.

*What if I have time remaining on the stream I want to convert?*

—- ALL time paid on said stream will *NOT* be refunded, transferable, or etc

*I purchased an Immortal Stream, now what?*

—- You’ll be contacted directly once your stream whether new or current has been either created or converted to an immortal stream.

*I purchased…but changed my mind, don’t need it, “insert reason here”, Refund me please*

—- No. As said above, multiple times, there are no refunds. for any reason so please, please, please make sure this is a purchase you wish to make. I’m sorry but I will not refund you…I will, however, give you the immortal stream of which you paid for. Being nasty for not getting your way will just result in not only no refund but also you’ll get banned from using our services as it is against our terms of service which you agreed to when you made your purchase/renewed your stream/etc. Don’t be that person. Be nice, be respectful, be kind, read the entire page, ask questions *before* making the purchase.

*What if I have other questions/etc?*

—- Contact me before purchasing. I will be glad to answer 🙂

Any questions? Contact me. (LustyLexxi Larimore)

Back….& Streams

Back….& Streams

I am back. Turns out life decided instead of a break, that hubby and I get the flu instead. The bot was offline for Idk how long so if you’ve paid recently you should be ok but double check if you are unsure as there will be terminations of those who are actually overdue very soon.

Thank you

Please read… (feb 2025)

Tomorrow, February 18th, 2025, is my RL birthday (I will be 39!) I will be taking some time off. This use to be a happy time but with my recent loss of my dad and 6th anniversary of my mom’s passing in 2019 – both happening just before my birthday, it hasn’t been a happy time. For my mental health, I will be taken time to myself. I may log in and you may see me around, but I will not be working in any capacity. Please be kind and respectful. I will send notice when I have come back (may be a week, may be the rest of February, it may be a bit longer).

You can contact my wonderful CSR: Kirana Rawley. She is also able to reach me if it is server related that needs my immediate attention.

Terminations TODAY

Terminations
Sat, Jan 11 2025 11:31:37 AM PST

I will be doing stream terminations TODAY of all overdue streams. If you are in late status & wish to keep your stream, I would advise to come renew asap. I will start doing these terminations in 30 minutes. We do NOT recreate streams *unless* they are VIP licenses (that is their perk of being licenses). There are approximately 11 expired steams so I’d recommend double checking to make sure that isn’t you. LM to store 1st tab in my picks.

Thank you

Update to port changes: Please read.

Hey there! I just wanted to give an update to this post. There have been many who have voiced their concerns in doing this. I apologize for causing any stress. I will make this easier on everyone and only update streams that are affected. What does this mean? It means that unless your port number causes an issue with other streams/ports at anytime in the future, only then will I change it.

Hopefully this helps to not cause anyone to panic. I will reach out to you if this happens and you’ll be able to chose your next port number (given it is available). I am again so sorry. Thank you for understanding. If you have issues, questions, concerns, etc please always reach out..it is what we are here for 🙂 ♥😊 –Lexxi

Hiya! If your port begins with anything outside the 8000 to 9999 range, I will *need* to change your port number to be within this range. Why? Because I was informed by the developers that ports outside that range can conflict with other systems in place: i.e. autodj functions (just had this issue with a customer). I will be reaching out to each person by IM & NC. Please don’t get too upset with me or give me grief as I cannot help it & this is the solution to preventing further issues from happening.

**Added: This will take me a bit to reach out to everyone so please be patient. Please note that if I don’t get a response within a few days, I will have to change it and move on to the next customer. I cannot hunt people down and I cannot have people telling me no because this isn’t an option, this is the only solution to fix the conflicting issue.

see developers response, in case there are those who happen not to believe me lol: https://gyazo.com/729b00b2077cd35c8b46187fd4457e21
