leave it to one of Eeps buttboys to ruin that post.
This is an excellent idea, many ppl who have come to aw are in need of some
social aid, from ruined marriages, to abused, men, women and children.
I wish you best of luck in helping the ppl who need it.
Hopefully ppl will not abuse this excellent idea.

best wishes
Z!

i think Eeps view of AW protrays a onesided negative view of AW.
Sure ppl shoudl see both sides, but it gets a lil personal.
I implore the students to not take heed of much of Eeps "gift" to this study.
he is a very poor representative of AW, and they are not his personal
experiences but a gathering of negative propaganda.

Way to go eep, good thing ya arnt a salesman

But keeping in light of the basis of this post was for peoples own experiences in Alpha World.
Not the historical, financial, personal back ground of active worlds and its employees, workers past and present.

From Eep and a thougroughly quote:

"I've NEVER given one cent to COF/AWCI."

and this gives him any right to talk about anything in AW??

It should be like voting, if you dont vote, you dont have any right to complain.
God ... who is the sucker thats been giving Eep Worlds and Cits???
All this time and he hasnt given a dime to them?

I will continue to rip on people until they learn how to properly and effectively use their computers and not annoy the shit out of me and other people in the process.

Its the insults and derogatory text. Its completely uncalled for.
Just because someone doesn't have the PC knowledge of another, doesnt mean they
should be cut into peices.
If thats ok.. then ppl like Eep should be sodomised by large grizzly bears.
and then hacked up in to lil peices and placed in tubes and shot into space
towards the sun.
Though Eeps brain should be kept and cut into urinal pucks for men to urinate on
in bathrooms.

I am looking for a Avatar Modifier to add to a couple of existing avs in
my worlds Y2oOo and Y2oOob.
I have a few women avs that are very egyptian looking, but i need a
couple avs modified to have them look like Pharoes and maybe a few
anubis (and a couple egyptian god headed) avs.

Since its not from scratch, the only payment i can offer is , free
advertisment of your avs.
and some potential work on a project for Universal studios in AW (maybe,
its still in negotiation)

Please contact me at dmonix at home.com

Ummm, I'd say you are all being pretty whiney.
Sure its unfortunate that you have an event upcoming and AW's is down.
Sometimes things happen out of the control of people, sometimes with their
control.
Unless you are a world owner, you pay what 20.00 bucks a year for a service.
If its AW related you yell, if its not you yell.
Maybe they are on the verge of goin to 3.1 and you would have mp3 support for
your parties.
I dunno, I just htink people take alot for granted on the web. be thankful for
what you have.

Just chill out.
There is life outside AW.

we dont have to see his pathetic attempts to cripple aw anymore.

Anyhow, now is a perfect time to get out of Alpha World and explore some other
very cool worlds... like for instance... Y2oOo!
We have building available in an Egyptian setting, a full community and

Plus some potential amazing happenings on the horizon!

I would like to protest the fact that Broadway world has stolen brick by

brick the build of the world New York.
Not to mention the support that Broadway is getting.
New York was made and now due to a difference the two who made it split
and
the owner of Broadway has taken without consent or permission the whole
world of New York, made the same world and called it Broadway.

As an owner of two worlds I am sickened by this. It wasnt a simple
copying
of themes. It is a blatant rip off.
This should be dealt with immediatly with awcom intervention into this
matter.

I am so stupified by this matter i am writing from work even.

World owners are pulling together as we speak to create a website and
petition to hopefully shut down Braodway.

Please step in and help to clarify this issue

Best Regards

ZeRo (cit#272487)

There is a wepage of full details being processed at this time. But as
world owners and users we must get together to ensure that this type of
occurence isnt a frequent one.

Go see New York world built almost more than a year ago now, and then
see Braodway!
To think that this can happen endangers the uniqueness of all worlds.

To be honest, this has nothing to do with me, I am appaled at the fact it took
place.
Sure he made the obj, but using them as he sees fit, is it right to completely
replicate what was in there?
Thats like Les Paul the guitar inventor made the guitar, therefore he has the
right to recreate and own everything made form it? All songs and written
material?

Wow, so to re iterate, this person has just said, I admit it, I dont care, and
too damn bad.
Gee hope everyone wants to visit this world and help this chump out.Maybe
everyone will "employ" his work and be ripped off too?

This person throws the term "Verbal agreement" out the window.

Is so many words, all this is like saying, Les Paul invented a guitar, so he has
rights to take (steal) everything ever made from it since.All music and
writings. Hmmm let me ponder this............ummm nope.

lol and this person even uses the word "forge" in here, as in forgery.
The so many times he asked ppl to get on an object path to take his stuff for
him.

this makes me sick,
Hope my world theme and my world is safe from this person.

Maybe he'll start to steal Hole and A'tuin next! and take credit for those too

You refer to Gor and Wicca allot, i practice neither, but Wicca is a
globally recognised Religion.
Gor is as you have it is a hobby,. A hobby
And I like you dont have much liking for Gor, but they dont bother me,
as long as they keep their ways and beliefs to themselves.
I would have to say to, that just cause a program is excercised in the
US doesnt mean the laws govern it.

Well and I sure as hell dont believe in Gor, but some ppl could say
Christianity is based on a work of Fiction and people adopted it as a
way of religion.
Case is, they (Christians) are the majority.
Scenario is, as a majority, and moraly we believe salvery is wrong,
(which it is).
If slavery was a natural occuring thing, then all other animals on the
plant would do it.
I cant quote what Goreans believe cause i havent read up on it.
But right or wrong... I dont like it. I dont believe men or women should
be sworn to anyone service sexually or physically in any way.

and If I believe it, you all should too

Anyhow, have a good night

Note the "SOME COULD PEOPLE SAY" - Not ZeRo SAYS.

Now one of yours,"

5) You seem to be equating Gor with religion. That's yet another

If you have read any of my past posts you will see that I have said
straight out, I KNOW its NOT a religion.

Before I began working in Motion Capture for Electronic Arts, I worked
in Quality Assurance.
Closed Beta Testing is a must, especialy when dealing with a program as
this.
The last opened Beta , they had people just running out and grabbing the
3.0 without the proper requirements. People wouldnt read the
documentation, just go and get the new beta and fail, and not understand
why.
Then post issues on the New Groups confusing people at Aw because they
didnt know the configs of all these Users.
These "Bugs" need to be properly written so that aw understands the
nature of the problems.
For instance.
What happened (short summary, then Full description)
What config does user have. (full details)

Entered AW and avatars had big heads.
-Ran AW V.__ with default settings ( no changes).
-As Avatars loaded in noted all have bigger heads.

PII 400 128 mb RAM
Voodoo II
Win 98
(more details as possible)

I think the beta NGs got way out of hand, and it wasnt even worth while
for them to look at.
What with general complaints, peoples two cents worth, and flames and
fights. This doesn help AW any.
They need to know whats going on.

I dont agree that they should have wiped the beta group, i think it may
have relevant answers to some pples issues.

But it does definitely need an overhaul, and some procedure and protoca;
added to it.

Z!

The point of releasing a beta is to make sure it works before unleashing your creations on the world. It's not "who deserves to and who doesn't", it's "who can help us find bugs?".

I'll reply to this:

So Eep, What are you goin to do about it?

[View Quote] > There were FAR more messages about bugs and their workarounds or just discussions about other things. It's not like Roland has been participating in the newsgroups lately anyway so for him (or some braindead AWCIer) to just all of a sudden wipe it without warning and then not give an explanation is just YET another example of how AWCI doesn't give a SHIT about the people who actually use and care about AW's future. Rick and JP do NOT deserve to be managing AW; they have CONTINUALLY proved inept at managing and interacting with its community and listening to what we want.
