I belive AW seldom accept models to be added.
Not excatly sure what the reason is; maybe they are afraid of potential copyrigt issues, laggy objects or simply do not feel like updating the registry very often. It has happened though that they have accepted some simply and useful sets.

I suppose we are all talking about the guy holding a ball over his
head,right?If so,I was told that objects from AW Universetu is free for anyone to use.Go to http://aw2.mpl.net/awuniv/ and models,there you will find a zip called cygold.zip.I think if one first is granted permission to use objects and then been punished for using them,is very wrong. I want to add that I have no use for that particular object,but I think here is a conflict.Get a life people!

I understand that people take it very seriously,unfortunatly it seems some
people take their bitchy attitde with them on-line. I have wodered why;is it becaise they are wimps in the non-virtual enviroment and do not dare to say anything there or is it so that they are bitches all the time,in "real-life" and on-line.I have no idea,maybe someone can tell me? I need to add that I also take learning in AW seriously,but I think one should not forget that for most people AW is a place to come and relax in,chatting with friends and building for their own amusment.Taking something seriously does not mean that one need to be hunting someones head all the time,blaming others and trying to be better than others.

I know several other things than "Tal " that is annoying and what you here

Hmm I find it weird that american people are so scared of nudity,the most
natural thing in world,however, pornography is an other thing. At the same time it seems to be totally ok to shoot or beat up eachother starting from cartoons meant for small kids. Worst thing in the cartoons is ;nobody ever gets hurt.That makes kid belive it is totally ok to drive over the other with a truck/lorry,after beeing flat awhile he will rise up again. I am not gorean,but I have nothing against Gor,sending them to another universe is just moving the problem to another place (if there is a problem) What would prevent underage people from going there ? I agree with Eep that some kind of adultcheck would work much better.Porn sites have several types of age verifying systems also.But as we all know there is no way that is 100% safe..maybe take away the internet totally from your kids,take away the TV and lock them up in a closet (just remember to feed them once in a while),would protect them from all "bad".No , I more belive in upbringing and informing kids of what is right or wrong (ofcourse that varies between ppl) ,but teaching kids a healthy common sence and building up a trust that works both ways I think is best.

Hi:)
I am not sure if I am right at this but it seems your world is a PS8 XE and when renewing a world like that ($42) it still says it includes 2 citizenships.So In other words ;nothing has changed when it comes to the old worlds.I hope this is the matter,that AW has shown some mercy to people who have owned worlds a long time.I hope they would also allow tourists into those worlds automatically,since for example my world Dracula was built for everyone to visit.When I look back at the 3+ years I have been in AW,I have a lot of memories from my world,many of them include meeting newbies to AW.People that today have several worlds themselves and are talented modelers. This was not meant to a direct reply to your post,,it was just a thing that I observed. I hope you will be able to keep your world:) Count Dracula ivie <carrey at mindspring.com> kirjoitti viestissä:3C6B3696.3082E7CB at mindspring.com... > I have decided to try and sell some of my objects to help pay for the > renewal of my world.

yeah sure,everything that is not the latest is bad,it sounds a bit like the
goverment in my country;you do not drive a new car you are a crook.We need to punish ppl who do not keep up with the development. What I would suggest is that Alpha would remain the historical building world,where ppl learn to build using their imagination,instead of having one piece houses and mountains with who any idiot can build a fair looking place.Go explore Alpha a bit and you will find things you have to click on to figure out how they are done,you will also find places where you go "wow I never thought of doing that".Since Activeworlds now have become greedy and started to charge more for their services ,I think they could offer a new large public building world with a lot of objects,the newset and most fancy things.Maybe a place where ppl could donate things ,in other words a big OP with a lot to choose from.

I did not suggest any anonymous FTP uploading system,just a world where
donations would be accepted IF the objects were suitable for a public building world.

I am not sure if if it is greed,but I could not come up with anything
else,the other word that crossed my mind was suicidial tho. I still do not understand that new pricing system tho,maybe because I am not the brightest bulb in the christmas-tree.The thing that bothers me is:If a cake cost 1$ this year and it cost 1.10$ the following year,I can understand that,because salleries goes up,the cost of producing goes up a bit,,it is called inflation.BUT if the cake cost 10$ the following year and the baker still has the same sallery,the flouvers still cost the same,the rent is still the same,,,I cannot start wondering into whos pockets does those 8.90$ go.

Another thing that comes in my mind is the slogan of goverment employed: Fix
it until it is broken. To go back to the actions of AW.inc,I guess I will never understand the american way of company management:) .I Europe and especially in Scandinavian country companies wants to give the impression that customers are a part of the company.It makes the customers feel more important.I guess the Scandinavian way is more "We" and the american "WE and them" I doubt that a 3D chat will ever make anyone really rich and attempts will probably end up in a total failure.I think the owner of AW should continue keeping it alive because of the love towards rwx and get a "haircut and a real job" to make profitable business.Maybe follow a bit the Linux concept,after all money is not the most important thing in the world although some ppl might think so.We only live once (as far as I know) and when we die;no matter how much money we own,we still wont be a better dead person:) Longhaired Fu**ing Treehugging Hippy Drac macb <Z at X.Y> kirjoitti viestissä:3C7468AB.5010300 at X.Y... > I like that baker analogy. > > Several years ago Joe decided the townsfolk were tired of the 30 mile > drive to the next town to get baked goods, so he opened up the > "Townsville Bakery".

Someone once came into my closed world.He was not on the enter list,he was
called E N Z O.The fact did he entered my world did not bother my at all,but the fact that when I said "hi" he poofed made me consider him rude.I grammed him and said "that was a quick visit" but got no reply either.A few days later AW.inc decided to steal my world name. Personally I do not mind if bots pop into my world.I think in this case the bot is just making Grimms work a bit more easy,since it appear that the bot collects information that would be able to be collected by visiting the worlds.So Grimm could enter each world and write down all info and collect it this way,so I guess he just wanted to make his job done faster..a bit like reducing a rwx file using Multizip instead of doing it by hand in Notepad.

Not a direct reply to this specific post but to the the tread in general.
I could bet my last cents on that this information collecting is done by the universe software in the future and not by a bot.It would aslo make sense ,because that way the data in the search option would be easier to keep updated (I belive).I also think that the world option could have one "page" beside features and rights.It could be a page with a few simple questions for the search data base like"public building "yes" or "no",tourists allowed "yes" or "no" and a area where one could write in keywords for the search index.That is the only way I think the search will be of any use ,otherwise it will be a new feature that nobody has no use of (compare show cellgrid).This all could result that you could have worlds listed depart from users and alphabetical order ,as it is now, also according to rating,building ,theme ,keyword or whatever u can come up with.Maybe something that rightclicking a world in the tab should bring up a discreption of the world if the owner has choosen to enter any info there.This way people with a slowish connection would not need to download worlds they just to find out that this is particulary a world they did not want to see. Secondly,I guess we can agree all that this particular bot did not harm our worlds in any way.I just think people should be informed if the are forced to take part in beta testing tho.I guess a rule is that the owner of the world is the one deciding who has botrights in his/her/its world.Cit #1 automatically has caretaker rights in each world,so does this mean that if someone that is allowed to use the privs of cit #1,decide to do something in our world,we should just except it since by buying a worldlicense we agree (not that they say it anywhere) to "give" caretaker rights to cit #1.Since AW.inc owns the software I guess they teoretically has the legal right to do whatever they want with it.I am not sure what the laws in USA are about collecting information and keeping databases of personal information.I know atleast in Finland it is illegal to sell information to a third part that you have collected from your customer.I am not a lawyer so I do not know the legal aspects on this,but I think it has a moral point. Personally I think AW.inc should have some kind of guidelines about the useage about cit #1.AW.inc own the software yes,but we buy our license to our world and pay a yearly rent,should we then have full control over our worlds or shall we accept the fact that cit #1 can do whatever it likes in our world. All in all, I think it would have been polite to inform the customers about this beta testing.I am sure AW.inc has not broken the law by not doing it,but if you start to use your customers as guinneapigs it might not be moraly very right tho. This was just a start,what if next time AW.inc decide to place a bot in each world just to hang out there,shall we aprove that also,since cit #1 can do that."If you give your little finger to the devil it will take your entire hand" Drac ananas <vha at oct31.de> kirjoitti viestissä:3C74974A.DF5201FC at oct31.de... > Someone without world bot rights is using a bot in several > worlds.

I never said it was,,it is "or whatever was collected" that worried me a
bit.If you had actually read my posting you would have come to the conclusion that I do not personally thought this was a big deal.What worries me is that they did not inform about it and what are they collecting next time.Cit#1 could for example be there spying on what we talk or teoretically copy a layout of a world and I think that would not be legal even tho AW.inc own the software.The collecting of personal information was just an example and I admit it had nothing to do with this particular case. I NEVER said it was illegal .I also said that Cit#1 has the caretaker rights in ecah world automatically and we have to accept it and yes they own the software that was also what I said,,so I am not sure why you seem to reply in a disagreeing tone. Last I have a question to all.Have ANYONE ever read their policy? When they stole my world name claiming it to be against the policy I requested 3 times in e-mails to get the policy to be viewed,but without ANY success.I have a feeling they have no policy but make it up as they are going along to suite their needs.How are we supposed to follow a policy if we do not know what it is?.

I have a feeling they meant,host the world the games are held in ,in
Russia,not the entire AW.inc...but on the other hand,maybe Russia would not be such a bad idea for AW.inc,,maybe if Rick and JP? lived there they would not need a 200000$ sallary per year to survive,,and Finland is pretty close so I could give them advice on how to get along with 8000$/year .

I have actually wondered how come feminists has not been demanding that
women should be allowed or even that it should be prefered for them to be top-less, since men are also allowed to be that on beaches. I think that is highly discriminating.
