No, it's not going to work.
I will not renew my citizenship unless it's the usual $19.95 per year.
I'm pleased that I can still visit AW as a tourist. This will be the
downfall of AW.

Maybe you don't want to hear this, but one of the most elementary design
rules for a website, any website, is to NOT use a dark background color with
light colored text. It's very difficult to read, and black with purple text
is extremely difficult. Perhaps you could use a light lilac background with
black text to keep the same color theme?
A casual search turned up many sites regarding designing websites, and they
all say the same thing. Dark background/light text = poor design:

He is absolutely not overreacting. 3.3 will become, as Strike accurately
put it, spyware. All of this information will be available to the
volunteers in AW, as well as AW employees and world owners. I'm more
concerned about this information being accessible by the PK's and GK's for
reasons that I don't care to go into right now.

All of the sequences look normal on my system, including all walks and the
jumping and dancing sequences (jump on the macarena in particular). Maybe
you should take a look at your own computer system? Something is wrong
here, because, as I said, all the sequences look as good, or better, than
they did before 3.3.

Or maybe it's the few people who post to this newsgroup who have problems
with their systems being incompatible with the new 3.3 version? There is
nothing wrong with any of the sequences. I've tried them out in various
worlds just to see what the fuss is all about, and they all work the same as
before.

I won't bother with another reply after this. All the sequences work fine
