$160,000 a year personal pay? Thats $13,333.33 a month, $3333.33 a week. Subtract $200 for food (Assuming they're into the health
food stuff or have 5 kids) weekly, $3000 montly for a new Dell computer that could easily be built for $1000, that leaves about....
$113600. Pay the bills, build a house, a few new cars (A humvee and a corvette would do) and you're flat broke. Thats hard livin
Eep.

Just wondering, where'd the 160k figure come from?

Your long messages are the only really good ones here. Don't get rid of them.

Anyway, I share your thoughts about them pretty well missing the point. I also thought better of Flagg's people skills, but no
longer.

I feel that a large number of the people that signed the letters were what are known as "me-too's" that just saw an oppertunity to
get with the "in crowd" and jumped on it. I figure that in terms of actual, strong-willed support, there were maybe 10 people at
most. But honestly, what do you expect from a community of mere children? Cybersex and paintball are their AW lives (Generalizing,
don't waste time flaming kiddos) and they don't know any better than to try to be cool and look older and more mature. Though they
make us look more impressive in numbers, they can't back us up.

While we've essentially lost this critical battle, don't count the community out yet. Some people really care and will stand at your
side Goober, I'm one of em. Just finding them is a task all unto itself. There are vehicles of communication not yet even tried.
These newsgroups and awnews.com only get so much use. While it's easy to just post here and post there, it's apparently not working.

However, even if we track down every Activeworlds website, every Ad banner rotation, every world owner willing to put up a message
and every little "organization" that isn't gonna fall apart, we may not do anything but just increase awareness. Though it may not
be the best fruit, it's still fruit. Even if it fails entirely, at least there was an attempt.

If AW were to go terminal, what would happen? Most everyone would walk their separate ways, or remain with their cliques of newfound
friends, many wondering if there was something they could have done. Then there will be the few that know they tried to do...

Selling it would probably be bad. I don't think the AW SDK licsense allows for sale.

Exactly. $20 is also psychologically very little money to spend, but $40... Though still not a lot, that LOOKS like a TON of cash.

Well then... It would appear that Gamer was indeed censored. Perhaps told to say it was not based upon fact. I don't doubt a single

Taken. However, it does hold itself in parallel to some experiences on the citizenship level and some other posts I recall from the
past few years. In particular with regard to Vectorscape... But it did seem rather odd how the original (cancelled post's)
timestamp was so much earlier than the retraction post. When I say somthing stupid (Which I do quite often) I either weather the
storm or post a retraction within minutes. As for who I think you are, at times, I'm quite convinced that some of you are
reincarnated dead dictators (Stalin, Hitler, etc) and members of the Italian maffia.

only event that AW employees are involved in.

Should end around nine, though it runs over sometimes.

I'm positive the community meetings will be degraded to the levels that you speak of (Until it gets so annoying that the ejection
weapons come out), but those who communicate directly with AWC will be selected carefully.

As far as I can tell, they'll have no obligation. However, Rick said they'd listen. He's going to get held to that. I'd think they'd
give answers why and why not to each one of the concerns voiced to them. Perhaps take an organized list from an open forum of
citizens more seriously than even their suggestion box, which has little to no exposure outside of these newsgroups.

*gets out the whip-of-death* You have broken damn near every commandment in this newsgroup in one post.
1) HTML
2) Colors other than black on white
3) Font changes
4) Completely unrelated subject line
5) SPAMMAGE

Though all but two and three are tolerable to some extent, all in one post is a baaaaaad thing. Straighten up before you get your
throat slit, this isn't friendly old Dreamland Park.
[View Quote] Hello everyone!
i know a really kewl universe i have been at for like 6 months or more now, i now own a world there, and there are fantastic people
there!

its not to busy like AW and there are only like 20 users on at a time , allthough you may wonder how i get on with only 20 users
on?, thats because most of them are citizens on my contacts!

right now there are 16 users on-line and 8 online on my contacts!, i know there is a nice amount of citizens here: last time i
looked there was 2009,

This universe is called DREAMLAND PARK!

This most definitely has somthing to do with your video memory being full. The same situation sometimes causes the AW viewport to
appear on your taskbar buttons, etc. It has nothing little to do with how long AW has been on, and more with how many textures
you're seeing, their sizes, and how much video RAM the rest of your computer is sucking.

What video card do you use? How much memory does it have? OS?

Aug 5, 2001, 6:07pm

TNT2 128mb's? Heh, 128mb video cards cost upwards of $2000 and don't come in TNT2's. Don't confuse system and video RAM.

I'm behind that, I particularly enjoy the idiots that tell you once a week not to reply if you don't want to be on their contacts
anymore when you don't even KNOW them and when you don't reply, they just tell you not to reply if you wanna be taken off in another
week. Even replying "TAKE ME THE HELL OFF DAMMIT" doesn't get the job done.

23. Hello, I'm <citname>, who are you?

24. Why do you want telegram mute so much?

25. When you log on. I need you to do somthing for me (When I've been on for the past 3 hours)

26. "WHAT COORDS ARE YOU AT?!?! I WANNA TALK TO YOU" (Isn't that what join is for?)

27. "Can I have your citïzenship?"

Aug 8, 2001, 5:10pm

46. Will you be my <opposite sex of yourself>friend?
47. Hi, I'm from AWCI and I saw your bot at Alphaworld ground zero (The bot was actually more than 3000 coords away, I've never been
THAT lame). One more time and you lose your account (This actually occured to me two years ago, guess who lost their account?)
48. I'm new to computers and i wanna no how u make urs have so many big numberz so mine can 2
49. AHHHHHHHH! U GAVE ME A VYRUS U EVIL HACKER. IM GUNNA CALL THE FBI ON YEW
50. Hi sexy, wanna cyber? (Particularly annoying when misspelled "sexie" "seshie" "sexshie" or "sessy" and from someone with a
33xxxx or higher citnum or the word syber or yiff is used)

There, that takes care of all fifty :)

And doesn't even require much effort, only browser-side changes. I assume telegrams arrive at the browser tagged only by citnum,
this should be checked against the ignore list, which is stored as citnums in a TXT file.

If it finds it, it deletes it. Quick, simple, clean.
