All of this is currently possible with a bot. Unfortunately the bot will not
need a password to copy the property..

Umm OK.. I meant "DUH" obviously you are a citizen.. I was referring to
those preople that are "interested in AW" that you are referring to.. If
they are so interested why don't they register?
BTW how am I posting to the wrong thread?

Drew I think only the community group is moderated.. My posts to the other
groups seem to show up right away.. Posts to community take a while and its
the only community has the charter posted in it.

All you have to do is change the world name in the world.ini, you do not
need to do a propdump

Wow that map is really cool, I didn't know it existed before. I can see ALOT
of use for it.. I have already used it to find some landmarks in AW and to
find some empty land to build my next project on.. :)
Way to go Philips Research...

Well it looks like the AW newsgroups isn't the only place you will find
censorship on the net.. Take a look at this article about Yahoo censoring
posts, http://www.smh.com.au/news/9911/04/national/national1.html
Sounds like the same kind of situation to me...
