How about a more comprehensive selection of standard AV's? These have been
around the block a few times. Would be nice to see something new added on
occassion. I know there is/was an Avatar Convention or something, but
nothing new added to the AW collection as a result, that I know of. AW
could do a new "AV of the Month Club" - take votes and add the winner. Or,
maybe a Mr. & Ms. AV Universe Pageant; crown the winner and let them reign a
year on the list....Heh, forget that last one.....time to back away from the
keyboard. :)

I spose i could have, but that's what i meant by "standard" issue. So, many
of the private worlds have some great ones. Heh, go see "Morning Glory" in
AV's World.....too many good ones to mention....seems a shame all that
creativity isn't being used for the greater good.

Interesting....... a few posts up you ask the question why can't I.....and
when dabartender takes the time to spell it out point for point you are
still not happy. I gathered quite a bit more from his post then simply "I
disagree". He tried to convey the more global aspects of Usenet and how
posting in HTML can be rather selfish and not merely a cosmetic choice. I
don't understand what ppl don't get about this. Try to expand your vision a
little past your nose and look at it more globally.

Did you have a lobotomy? I just can't even fathom where you are coming from
and by your last comment I not only can see that you have no concept of how
to play nice in a large group which was the point, but you are using a
double standard. Didn't you ask for the same consideration with your porn
concerns?

According to Tom, in a reply email circulating among world owners, if aw
goes down the worst case scenario would be hosting of universes and worlds
on someones PII in their basement.....how comforting.

I sent a suggestion we try a referral program like earthlink and other real
companies do......if everyone referred 1-2, the userbase might triple.

I hope you didn't truly mean newbies in general, but what SOME of them (and
I could include "oldies" as well) do with the newsgroup. I am a new poster
in the ng but have read it for a couple of years. The elitest attitude that
comes across at times is just as annoying as some of the misbehaviors being
pointed out. Just an observation......o00o--°(_)°--o00o.

Dear Jetta, Gina, Eric, Anyone with Interest in America:

I'm sure you have all seen the movie Dances With Wolves. For awhile now I,
and a few others, have been been able to closely relate to that soldier left
at his American post believing in the beginning that his loyalty and effort
to America was for a good reason only to realize that apparently we have
been abandoned by the powers that be.

I should also say that my loyalty and effort, although great qualities,
truly spring out of my own selfish desire to have fun with my friends and
enjoy myself. Because of that I have always been a diehard protector of
America refusing to spend much time anywhere else.

In the last several months it has been increasingly more difficult, not
only to perform our roles as CA's and AB's, but also to be just an ordinary
citizen or tourist visiting America. At least 3 times in the last 3 months
the object path has been down for a length of time not customarily viewed as
reasonable, but for days and weeks at a time. The first time this happened
was just after the birth of Juno dome and America profited from the overflo
of those folks. The house was packed nearly all the time with people having
serious fun. We lost a lot of new people during the first down time episode
which lasted nearly 2 and a half weeks. But there were still the
regulars...Then it happened approx a month ago..Each time losing more and
more. And not only do we lose any potential new person on contact, but all
the regular supporters of America have dwindled to nothing out of
frustration. America has been declared dead in the newsgroups. That really
pissed me off and I decided to make it a project to build up the population
as best I could. I spent nearly all of my time doing damage control for
America trying to put a positive spin on all the "why can't I load?" "Where
has everyone gone?" type questions, remaining eternally hopeful that this is
just an obstacle we can get past and get on with the business of having fun.

Now I see the OP is down AGAIN and I realize I am simply a Welcome Wagon
Lady for Triangle World...AGAIN. There is no point in fighting this any
longer.

Jetta, Gina and Eric - wherever you are - I am here to tell you America is
a dust bowl. I believe I am the last hold out who has not taken on
interests in other worlds. There is no one manning the post, save for an
occasional pit stop here and there by some concerned CA or AB willing to
eat, breathe and fart triangles.

I don't know what your intention is for America..if its nothing.. than I
would like to sincerely thank you for several years of some of the best fun
I've ever had and I appreciate the time you have given America to us. If you
do plan on doing something about Wild America that includes more consistent
communication between the ownership and the people being asked to help
provide support ...you know how to reach me. For now, Im going up the road
to find a new reservation to dance on and I'm taking my coffee rations with
me.

I suppose you would have needed to be involved in America to know whether it
was a truly good analogy or not....but then i didn't expect to would make it
past you professional flamers entirely, now did I. I'm not a complete
idiot.....parts of me are still missing. :)

jeiden,

Looks like you got #6 down (share your knowledge). But you might want to
revisit #1 (remember the human), #10 (forgive other's mistakes) and # 7
(attempt to control flame wars). Some of us newbies who don't know a thing
noticed that quite a few of the ..ummm other ppl don't seem to know a thing
either : ) heh...I really am not looking to get into it with anyone and this
isn't directed at you specifically jeiden, but frankly im confused what this
newsgroup REALLY is. Is it the Do As I Say Not As I do Hypocrites group?
Cuz quite often I notice the very ppl pointing fingers and offering
instruction need to maybe back away from the mouse and look in the mirror
more often than their screen once in awhile. Is it the "Audition to Replace
Ann Robinson on The Weakest Link" group?? cuz you guys are Gooood!!! ya got
the insult thing down to a science!! or maybe its the "Let's Bash Each
Other To a Pulp cuz That's Entertainment Folks" group? Yea...thats gotta be
the one. Either that or the " Bow to me Oh Newbie" group....its a toss up.
It's not a NEWSgroup....I have learned that much. Don't give me charters
or netiquette unless you can show me you drive it for a different reason
then some ppl drive Lamborghini's.

I do keep coming here for theonce in a blue moon good piece of worthwhile
information and the occasional good humor. I'd like to see more of that and
a bit less of whatever it is you guys do in here.

Everything you said makes sense...thanks....i was reacting more to the

established clientele in here was being anymore productive. Maybe my timing
is off, but of late all its looked like in here is one huge food
fight...lol.....

Chuck.....irony is, i believe i have followed the charter , but seems i
still pick up a lump of generalized pre-packaged fragrance enhanced doo doo
that isnt supported by the posts placed here from various members of the
group new and old. I dont mind charter waving flamers so long as they are
following the charter....does earning respect mean that then i can say and
do whatever i want in here while waving the charter around under everyone
else's nose? If so........Puleez disrespect me.....lol

I followed the link....work with me here.....1st paragraph states it is not
the intent to or purpose of this ng to disregard the rights and feelings of
others so to avoid problems from start.......goes on to explain the set up
so all understand (Seems they want us to regard the rights and feelings of
each other as much as they want us to stay on topic) Also goes on to say it
is for free exchange of info & opinions on awculture, language, history,
economics, science and OTHER topics related to AW.....Posts appropriate BUT
not restricted to....ALL aspects of AW, etc.
Also says it is for anyone who is interested in AW AND who can follow usenet
netiquette...on and on......

Maybe we have a problem with the charter itself ...it is very broad in
places. Seems we are getting as many interpretions as there are ppl reading
it. To quote myself earlier:

Well, it sounds good - on paper at least- and as a group effort it would
have to be time better spent than we do now even if it isn't implemented.
Hey, we might learn something in the process. It does seem though an
impossible task to get "everyone" to agree. Is "everyone" all those who
respond within a certain length of time to editing and final vote? Majority
rules? Those who have posted in the ng for a certain length of time? Only
newbies can vote???.(hehehe..kidding..don't want to give anyone a coronary).
You might even need ground rules just to participate in the process....such
as healthy debate is great - no personal attacking!.....if we survive the
process and get a finished product.....wow!

Seems to me that should make the vast majority of ppl happy. But because of
the broad way in which the charter is written and therefore interpreted, you
may still get a percentage of "off-topic" posts. Give me ambiguity, or give
me something else...lol

eep.....what is your interpretation of the charter and idea of what's on
topic? You obviously are more interested in topics of a technical nature
because of your background and experience. Not everyone in the community
has had the same set of experiences and background. The charter lists many
other categories of appropriate posts, some of which I would say leave a lot
open to fluff and stuff. Maybe not your idea of what you would like to see
but still on topic - IMHO

I can see that in a few cases agent1, but I asked eep because i have seen
him become disturbed at posts that by my intepretation would be on topic. I
think this is the problem.....interpretation.

Ok, thanks for your explanation and not to beat a dead horse but phrases
such as "posts appropriate...include, but are not restricted to all aspects
of AW......is more what I was getting at. Your point is well taken..... and
much more easily I might add when I don't have to reach for the fire
extinguisher(s) at the same time.
