unfortunatly those sorts of backdrops will be out-dated when 3.2 comes

basicly a skybox is a background that doesn't look like #$$%#. ie not just
a strange band of background that rotates dif than you and sometimes doesn't even verticaly cover the screen. Unfair Voting Procedure for Avatars 2001Dec 3, 2001, 2:32am

I heard from a masked person close to this issue that it was because in
recent months lu has become lazy and surly to use polite terms. hmmm, one comment.... "become??" lol. ActiveWorlds IRC. Does it exist?Mar 2, 2001, 5:29pm
IRC support for aw? *scratches head* doesn't aw sort of.. well... I dont
know.. sort of have a built in thing to chat with. Maybe all this time I've just been imagining things. Yeah.. irc support for the aw browser, and maybe aol chat room windows when you're in the build menu, and maybe little chat windows for various other totaly useless non-aw related chat and communication programs throughout the browser. Newsgroups are usefull right? Well how about we put a newsgroup window in... hmmm... how about the contacts list tab? Any other brilliant ideas for exsessively redundant features in aw? If you want irc, use an irc program. Someone invented it for a reason. If you want to chat about aw and "shoot the cow" or whatever strange expression you used, you'd find many people with a similar interest in aw... actualy in aw. Yeah, it may surprise you that there are many people interested in chatting about this chat program within the chat program it's self. Just type something and press enter, you just might find someone in aw that knows about aw. Crazy huh? sorry... I don't post on the newsgroups often but I found this subject delightfully stupid :) Hello NG'sMar 11, 2001, 8:28pm
Hello NGs. The last couple weeks I FINALY decided to check out the
newsgroups. I've briefly seen them in the past but was too busy to actualy read or post. I usualy just sit in my world so I never hear of any of the aw gossip or events, but it seems a quick daily visit to the NGs can cure my "out of the loop" feeling. It's a lovely place.. well.. after you sort through all the bickering and posts that don't belong in the NG... Although what newsgroup doesn't have off topic posts and petty out of place arguments? Just wanted to say hello to everyone in the newsgroups! After about 4 years I've finaly found this place lol.... -Moff Piett Preston 32 beta availableMay 7, 2001, 8:09pm
Ah but then a certain bot programmer got hooked up in some online space
combat games... untill someone made him visit someone's world and that someone mentioned his bots and then the said programmer decided to work on above mentioned bot and aw once again. to eepMay 15, 2001, 4:37pm
Thanks Moria, you've really shown your true colours. You've laboured to
show makaveli his embarasing bluder but I don't think anyone can get through his pig headed american armour. He really has no sense of his global neighbours. He needs to understand that in the modern world english comes in many shades of gray, and that America is not the centre of the english speaking world. Those are all the words I can think of now.. thanks Moria. :) to eepMay 16, 2001, 6:30pm
Mak.. just stop. You said something stupid, were proved wrong, the word
exists. A thread with this many posts about if laboured is a word or not is quite silly. You lost, move on, lest you make Moria actualy angry. Final solution to everything.May 11, 2001, 9:35pm
I've got an idea that's so crazy it just might work. Kids like Chuck and
Jfk2 just use this ng for attention, they don't actualy care what people reply back to them wtih. So, if all you people who keep going out of your way telling them to shut up and go away just ignored them, they would leave. If everyone here just shut them out, didn't read their posts, and certainly didn't reply to them, they would get bored in a few weeks. Spending the time to reply and get mad at these types of people just perpetuates the problem. So all those who complain about the NG getting off topic and down right stupid, set an example and don't participate in what you complain about. Let's just take a deap breath and ignore them. Ok everyone? Can we try a week or so of totaly and compleatly ignoring these people? to moffMay 12, 2001, 5:49am
And some sandwiches I eat have tomatoes in them, so I just pull out and
ignore the offending vegi. Doesn't mean all sandwiches are bad and should be ignored. (this metaphore and spelling brought to you by 1am) [View Quote] to moffMay 12, 2001, 6:28pm
If swearing is the only way you can communicate a point than perhaps you
should sit down with a dictionary and learn some new descriptive words. I'm not for the banning of "cuss words", but overuse of them is just, uncivilized. to moffMay 12, 2001, 6:34pm
It is a good attention getter. But then again my philosophy is if they need
to be sworn at to understand a point, then they arn't worth the effort to talk to. Such uncivilized and low class people... why can't be all just be lovely and nice to eachother, and have an increased yearly steel output... that would be nice. to moffMay 12, 2001, 9:20pm
Huh? What are you talking about? I suggested we ignore posts we don't like
instead of starting a huge flame war/argument every time and suddenly it's turned into a debate on how swearing is nessisary due to kids not understanding big words?? Kids don't understand uncommonly used "big worlds" so it's ok to swear.. huh? owww.... My poor little brain just can't take much more of this sort of logic... I'm staying out of all these emotional charged personal debates and sticking to simply reading for news. The kids can keep on flaming, the early teens can keep on swearing, and makaveli can keep on substituting big words for a decent argument... I'm going to back to focus on steel production, cement apartment blocks, and general lovelyness. to moffMay 12, 2001, 10:29pm
Why do you keep refering to me as "you kids" ? or is my brain overloading
with community NG logic again? wahhhMay 14, 2001, 7:07pm
Sorry, I forgot to bitch and swear and act like an idiot when a feature I
want wasn't implimented. I'll try to be more mature like you eep. [View Quote] wahhhMay 14, 2001, 7:20pm
ar, sorry, But this is really bugging me. eep, you are the LAST person in
this entire ng save jfk2 to even mention the word maturity. All you do is bitch and complain in these NGs. Sometimes you make an ok point about a badly implemented feature, or some other cock up by awcom, but the way you do it leaves most everyone simply shaking their heads thinking "what a little shit". Don't talk about maturity untill you grow up a little your self. I've never heard you say a single positive thing in years. It's always "rolands a stupid fuck" this or "so and so is a fucking loser" that. I don't think there is a single person on this NG that's pulled it down and started more pointless swearing matches above the age of 15 than you eep. So don't you ever talk of "helping the NG" and "maturity". What's next, chucks party jumping on people for long winded pointless posts? Uh, seems 80% of these posts are nothing but bickering about previous posts about bickering. And here I am bickering back... I don't usualy enjoy this sort of thing, but eeps comment was so hypocritical I just couldn't take it. Sorry. And sorry eep to use such language, I really don't have that much against you, just wish you'd be a little... nicer. Acting how you do does not improve things. You can swear and bitch about what you want changed, but untill you address it in a polite and calm manner you'll get little done but be added to people's filters. You have many great ideas, and for aw's sake it would be a shame to have them all lost in the negative rage that is eep. I need this bot BAD!May 14, 2001, 7:47pm
I think www.imabot.com has some sort of trivia bot.. or something like that.
I know there are some trivia bots floating around there somewhere. Advice for touristJun 2, 2001, 9:23pm

Advice for touristJun 2, 2001, 11:49pm
It wasn't created totaly for "sick stuff" but it's the only world where
"sick stuff" is ok. If a tourist asked "where can I build with no rules?" I'd say wildaw, if they asked "where can I go to swear when I talk?" I'd say wildaw, and if someone asked where they can talk about sick stuff... I'd also say wildaw. Are you denying that sick stuff is ok in wildaw? Would you be offended if a PK or someone advised someone asking for a world that alowed swearing to go to wildaw? I guess it depends on what the "sick stuff" in question is. If he was looking for porn... no... but by sick I'm guessing he means just rude behavior. And I do believe that wildaw lets people act how ever rude they want. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. Maybe I don't totaly understand the situation? From what I read it seems a tourist asked if there was a world where sick stuff was ok and someone told him wildaw? Maybe if I understood what the problem is ? You seem to really dislike the PK's and have a history of conflict with them so perhaps you are reading too much into his statement? Maybe you saw it as a dig towards the world you love? I stay clear of alpha world and awcom stuff in general, never had a problem with the PK's, but also never had any form of respect or friendship towards them, so I think I'm fairly objective towards issues about them. This seems like a very small issue anyways. Who cares if a PK doesn't like wildaw, seems many people are quite obsesed with these over rated bunch of schoolyard recess monitors. If you don't like their rules, don't go to their world. Alpha world is a world like any other, if awcom wants to run it one way, good for them. There are enough worlds in AW to give everyone a place to call home, especialy now with wildaw. So why don't all the people who complain about the PK's just stay out of alpha world, and if they can't, atleast follow the rules, no matter how silly or hypocritical they may be enforced. Some people want total freedom, but some people want a "safe" place to chat. You guys keep to the worlds you like, and they will keep to the worlds they like. Very easy solution to solve just about every PK/Citizen conflict. AlphaworldJun 3, 2001, 4:34pm
Nope, no plan to expand it. Still tons of room in that tired old
cartoonish lap filled world. But you may look forward to a new build world in the future. Perhaps one so new and large as to replace AW as the main build world with a totaly new object path. AlphaworldJun 3, 2001, 8:56pm
They've made quite a lot of tangible progress on it. Object path is
finished, everything is ready to go. All the people at awcom involved with it are just waiting for the highest ups to get their heads out of their asses and give them the ok to open it. AlphaworldJun 4, 2001, 12:27am
don't worry, the objects are there and very nice (for a public build world
set). It's just a matter of "red tape" now. They had an elaborate bot system idea a few months ago but that fell through due to roland's time constraints and technical problems I think. Since then they had it on hold, I think they want to do something more interesting than just a gz and free space. Although of course there will be free space. Something about lots getting larger the farther away from gz, and more support for towns and such (ie a functional highway system). Although what will become of the final world we can only guess. Pornography and public worldsJun 4, 2001, 8:54pm
awcom isn't obligated to spend their lives searching alpha world for a
picture that migh offend someone. You should be thankfull for 20 bucks a year they do as much as they do. After almost 4 years I've almost never seen any questionable content. The odd "so and so is fucking gay" vandalism sign here and there in alpha world, but that's about it. Maybe you guys should stop looking for porn? Maybe you should get down off your high horse standing on a soap box built inside your little sheltered world and stop shooting the dead horse that is the porn issue. (talk about a mixed clique!) If it's a problem, it's delt with. It always has been handled like this, nothing new. If porn scares you, disable picture downloading. If you're still terrified, then maybe you should stop using aw, and for that matter, don't go outsite your house. If the odd pornographic pic in aw get's you folks in such a tizzy, I'm sure you'd have a heart attack if you went out into the real world and took a look around. Either shut up about this, or "vote with your feet" and leave aw, because we're tired of listening to all this complaining. |
